    I will start by saying the food was fine. The issue was we ordered out apps and main course, and they were both delivered at the same time, within a few minutes of ordering, and before our bottle of wine. They brought the wine, and the check before we started eating, and informed us and the other diners that the kitchen was now CLOSED, even though they were open another 45 minutes. We noticed the other tables also had their checks, as the staff buzzed around cleaning, and asking if everyone was ready to pay yet. They filled our glasses to the brim to try and get us to drink faster. It must have been one heck of a party they were clearly itching to get to that night. It was a very poor overall experience. I have never felt more rushed, for a meal that was far from cheap. We immediately cancelled our reservations at their sister location Kōloa Thai due to this experience. We eat out a lot, we are always cognizant of closing time, and this staff was just ready to leave early, and we were an inconvenience.

    The best green papaya salad and pad thai and tom ka gai soup we’ve ever had. So very flavorful. Service was excellent and prompt.

    Food was incredible- perfect portions, delicious flavor. Service was terrible. Our appetizer came out great. Our drinks all came out at different times, then someone else’s appetizer was delivered to our table. Then our second appetizer and one entree came out. Then my sushi rolls came out one at a time. They never did bring our third entree. Atmosphere was decent but tables are very close together. Not terrible but service soured our entire experience.

    My husband and I shared a large Tom Kha soup. It was delicious and all we needed for a light meal. Although it was raining outside, we were protected on the open-air lanai and still had a view of the lovely bay. The staff was friendly, professional, and provided the perfect amount of interaction.
