Amazing every single time!! Literally the best Thai food on Maui! The drunken mahi mahi is incredible, and definitely get the green papaya salad!
This place serves 100% authentic Thai food. I ordered the seafood pad se ew which consists of shrimp, squid, and scallop. Absolutely delicious! The squid & scallop were so soft and not super chewy. I also ordered the Thai tea which was not that sweet and was good. The restaurant was very clean and staff were friendly. Overall id come back and recommend everyone to come here!
Just wanted to add another dish to try. Their famous Kao Soy noodles. Kind of like laksa. Ramen noodles, chopped cucumbers, tomatoes and red onion with some crispy noodles. The broth is like yellow coconut curry. Very tasty and I was very pleased with my lunch. Also got a Thai tea and that was great as well.
Strip mall amazing flavorful food. Enjoyed apps, drinks and dinner. Ordered mango salad medium - spicy!!! Yummy calamari. Loved it all
Maui Thai Bistro is another of our favorites! This time hubby had cashew nut chicken, I had massaman curry with chicken. Very yum
Doesn't look much from the outside but interior was clean and ambience chill yet lovely. It had cute Halloween decorations when we went. Food was delicious. We got the papaya salad, shrimp drunken noodles and short rib curry, plus a side of rice and steamed veggies. Their dishes are not only generous but perfectly executed! -- I thought it was one of the best Thai places I've been to! (And I've been to too many to count, all over the U.S., especially Los Angeles.) The papaya salad was crisp and fresh, the short rib in the curry melted in our mouths, and the drunken noodles was served al dente, its shrimp just right! Highly recommend.
Quick to be seated - food was really tasty - the chicken satay app was grilled to perfection and seasoned with curry thai seasoning... the veggie tom yum hit the spot and the e-san thai steak was so tender and flavorful!!! we'll def be returning before our trip ends
Wife's sister's first visit to Maui and this was her choice for first restaurant to eat in Maui. 3 of us had come in on a Sunday night at 5pm, and the place is half empty. Hard to find as at the very back of a shopping strip, not visible from the street. We sat by the window, watching perhaps a half dozen cars stop in the take out parking spot directly in front of the restaurant during our hour long stay. Good sign as these are likely locals who know a good restaurant when they see one. Wife's sister had the $20 shitake stir-fried mixed vegetables with 7 shrimp, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, baby corn, zucchini and shitake mushrooms. The oyster sauce did not add much flavor to the otherwise bland dish. Wife 's $20 tom yum stir fry came with 7 shrimp, baby corn, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions with a tom yum sauce including hot chili sauce for kick. Lots of flavor in this spicy dish for onion lovers. I got the $23 macadamia nut panang curry with short ribs. Generous serving of fall off the bone tender beef in a rich red curry with cumin and coriander flavoring. This was the most popular dish, as wife and her sister took ample portions of this spicy dish right from the start. $2 for a small portion of thin rice noodles, $3 for small portion of brown rice, and $4 large portion of wide rice noodles. Profit generators. We were supposed to share the noodles and rice, but wife's sister could not separate the rice noodles sticking together, and dumped the whole thing onto her plate. Next day wife's sister took photographs of the setting sun amid the clouds over Kamaole Beach 3, and we could not get to Coconuts Fish restaurant until 645pm, with a half hour wait standing in line for food ordering. Should have come to Coconuts Fish restaurant at 5pm on Sunday and Maui Thai Bistro at 645pm on Monday, as probably no waiting here during prime time.
