My goodness, this is a fabulous Thai food restaurant in Kailua. Can it be? It is hidden, I have driven by there so often and drove right by. The garlic Seafood Medley is must try, stuffed chicken wings, the Patties were great.
I like their papaya salad, but the Tom Yum is less authentic. I think they try to make it comfortable for the locals to eat. I’m a little disappointed that the soup isn’t as as spicy as I want it to be. I also asked for their chilly sauce, and it’s surprisingly not as hot. But the soup itself is good. I also ordered mango sticky rice and it was really good.
Excellent! The servings are large, and the ingredients are carefully selected. I have been to Thailand and this is the most authentic Thai I’ve had in Hawaii

I stopped in on a recent rainy evening in Kaneohe, in this little gem of a restaurant tucked away within the Windward Shopping Center. Sure glad I did! I tried the spring rolls and the namesake noodles (Chao Phya Thai noodles).
The restaurant wasn't busy, so I can imagine that it might take longer when it is, but my appetizer was served within 7-8 minutes, and my entree arrived before the appetizer was half done.
The restaurant was decorated for the holiday season and it made the room even nicer. Dark red tablecloths adorn all the tables and attractive wicker chairs were well-padded and comfortable. There was also an outdoor seating area, but with the showery night, I chose the main room.
I recommend this restuarant to all my friends and family, and everyone else as well. The only reason I didn't give a five star is because this is my first (but definitely not last) visit and I only tried one appetizer and one entree. But I'll be back to try again, and if all goes as well as tonight and tastes as good, I'll be raising it to five stars!

I will start off this review by stating that although I eat out 5 or 6 night a week, I am not a Thai food aficionado. I do love good food and good service and I got both here from Chef Guy and Chef Paul at Chao Phyu Thai Restaurant in the Windward City Shopping Mall. With that said, the food at Chao Phyu Thai Restaurant is AMAZING! The newly redecorated place is very clean and comfortable for a single, a couple or a large party. The walls and decorations in the place make you feel like you are invited to the Chefs house for a personal meal.
I came in on a weekday for a business lunch and was greeted by Chef Guy and he sat with us and took the time to talk story and get to know us. He suggested a few menu items and set us up with some drinks. This was a business casual lunch, so we only had tea and water, however they do allow BYOB and encourage you to bring your own wine or a cooler for the gang.
We started off with the red curry soup and a double order of Thai Crispy Spring Rolls. Next up was a generous platter of Chicken Pad Thai Then came the main course of Seared Scallops on a bed of Indian noodles cooked to perfection. Along with that is the imported King Salmon; we ordered the salmon to share which came with a generous side salad and served on top of a bed of couscous so tender and buttery. This fish just falls into your mouth and is so delicious. Also, in the main course was the giant sautéed clams in a curry soup broth. My favorite was the Scallops, and I recommend this place!!
Most entrees are served with a fresh salad, and generally are loaded down with vegetables. The portions are huge, and everything is made fresh to order. What sets them apart is the brilliant balancing of flavors. Sweet, acid, heat, sours, bitter and fragrant aromatics... nothing too 'spicy'... take for example the pad Thai I am used to pad Thai that is coated in some slippery sweet peanut sauce... here the peanuts are served on the side (delicious) and the flavors of the pad Thai without the peanut sauce is simply irresistible.
This restaurant is in the Windward City Shopping Mall, next to Starbucks and facing Kamehameha Hwy in Kaneohe and is easy to see from a moving car. Pop by for a quick visit, look at the menu and pictures on the walls, then order the best Thai Meal you have had in Hawaii.

Thank you for your awesome hospitality! -Jay Lamping #localguide #808coupons
Seriously the most delicious authentic tasty Thai food I have had in my life. I am vegan and the chef made the best curries and Thom kha soup. The Mung bean noodle with Garlic tofu is the best. Can’t wait to
Come back. Also the owner Mina is a delight.
Awesome service! I recommend that everything they suggests go for it! My favorite so far is the Panang curry, ginger fish, beef spring rolls! We will definitely come back yo this place! Also the watermelon juice is the bomb!!!
This restaurant has the most welcoming environment on the island. The only thing that is better then the hospitality is the food! The will come out and explain about what you ordered and how it was prepared and show you the fish he used. He will explain how he is adamant on only using the freshest ingredients from the islands. The hostess will be there for anything you need and make you feel like family but not overwhelming.
If you like athletic Thai food or want to eat something done right you can’t miss out on this experience.
We love coming here for a casual dinner or a special occasion. The food is fresh and local and hand selected by the chef. He comes out to visit with the clients and since he knows us gives a personal touch to our meal. We have never left hungry or disappointed. We recently celebrated my husbands birthday and he said his meal was the best he ever had. It is delicious and beautifully presented. The staff is very attentive and generous. We love this restaurant!
Food was outstanding! Service was excellent! The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for good Thai food you have to come here!
Customer service here will have you feeling VIP. They have amazing creations a little slow in the kitchen but that's because they make everything by order so it's nice to know that you consistently get fresh piping hot items. The only reason I gave a 4 and not a five is because the portion on some items is light in comparison of the price on my opinion however the flavors pack a punch the spice is heavy which I absolutely love but if you're sensitive to heat I suggest mild my favorite part is once you come here they remember you even if it's a month later to me that's impressive. Also the sambal (chili garlic) sauce is soo yummy but when you ask for a side if you enjoy spice trust me request for 2 sides as it's a tiny dish. My pictures are the beef salad and eggplant tofu which they let me change to a garlic sauce vs oyster sauce without hassle or charge but the customer service alone justifies the cost expect avg 14-16 per dish
Delicious! I highly recommend the amazing offerings of Chef Guy & his team. Order anything. It'll come out perfect.
Mina is very knowledgeable about each ingredient and was so accommodating for our various food allergies making sure each item was GF.
Like going to see family or an old friend. As it is stated over and over, the service is 5 star.
And like the service, the food is equally wonderful and priced very well. Portions are generous and you will leave feeling not only full, but happy as well.
This place really took care of me and my wife. The food was fantastic. Appetizers and Entree was really good, I would recommend to anyone visiting Honolulu like I.
Delicious Thai food. Spice levels were absolutely perfect because I LOVE spice. Will definitely be back.
