    Ideal neighborhood Thai restaurant to bring friends and family. Service is good without being overly attentive. Food is consistently good.

    Celebrated my husband's birthday with friends. We love having a great restaurant in our neighborhood that is our frequent 'go to' for special occasions. The fried chicken, char siu sticky rice and calamari never disappoint! Everything was delicious!

    Maile’s has the best Thai food I have tasted. I’ve been to many Thai restaurants in Hawaii and on the continent and her dishes are, hands down, the best!!! I’ve waited 2 years to return to Hawaii and Maile’s was at the top of the list.

    Delicious curries, pad thai, papaya salad and summer rolls. Fast and friendly service. Prices are not cheaper nor more expensive than other similar establishments. Very good value for the quality and consistency throughout the years.

    Food was good. Service was slow, workers seem new. It didn’t feel as comfortable and cozy as Ward. Kinda messy. We normally go to Ward but this was the only place that had opening on Sunday night.

    Service was impeccable. The happy hour pupus were fabulous, as always. The yellow tofu curry was not great....too sweet. Generally, Maileʻs has been my favorite happy hour spot in Hawaii Kai.

    This is the second time we have booked a reservation through here and the second time we have had to wait almost 10 minutes to be seated without an available table. Both times they have had to make an alternate table for us that should not have been. Service was not very attentive and I asked for house wine and was charged for higher quality. Food was great, but we may think twice next time upon dining here

    The food and service were outstanding. The dining room was very noisy due to loud patrons at the bar, but admittedly it was during and just after happy hour. The entrée portions are quite generous; the pupus, less so. We will return.

    The place is a bit rundown and untidy with the takeaway station set right in the middle of the restaurant surrounded by tables. We ordered calamari and green curry with beef. The calamari is not fresh. The curry sauce was ok but the beef was of low quality and chewy or tough. We used to like this restaurant but after this we will not be going back.

    This was my first time at Maile's Thai Bistro and we will definitely be back. The food was exceptional and tasty. The prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you get. It did take awhile for the wait staff to serve us (we waited over 5 minutes for water and for someone to greet us, however, they were pretty busy for a Sunday night). Once the waiter did take our order, food came out quickly and it was delicious! My family will be back soon to enjoy the food at Maile's Thai Bistro.

    Tasty curry and Evil Princess but I wish the server had asked about how much "heat" to add to the dish. It was a bit bland with not much spice. A little red curry paste would have made a huge difference.

    The ambiance has changed. Probably due to Covid. There were orders of food in take out containers on a long tables set up in the center of the restaurant. It almost felt like a cafeteria when we walked in. We ordered the Massman curry and was told there’s no spice at all. Actually, it was mildly spicy, and although the info was incorrect, it was delicious. The young man who sat us and served us was very courteous and genuine.

    The food at Maile's Hawaii Kai was very good as usual. Service, however, was not up to their usual standard. Our server was very inattentive. In fact, we didn't see him after the food was served. We had to flag him down to get the check. Their take out operation seemed to dominate the dining room, but it is understandable given the current COVID situation. Overall, a good dining experience from the food perspective, but service and overall ambience needs work.

    Tanner, the server always remembers us, with a pleasant smile and always remembers our usual order. Their pad Thai is the best in the city. The only change we would make is to move their location closer to where we live.
