“ Great service, clean restaurant, good sized portions, and affordable. If you like Thai food, this is the place. I had the braised short rib curry, and it was delicious. We loved it and we will be back. ”
“ Great Thai food. The red curry and Pad Gra Prao were great. Very flavorful. The pad Thai was good. Service was great. ”
“ Lunch time orders of Pad Thai-Chicken and Pad See Ew with chicken. Both were as good as Thai gets. Nice balance of vegetables, noodles and chicken. Charming server Kaikea, who took care of us with a lot personal effort. The place was empty when we first enter, full when we finished our meals. Nice setting in a Maui shopping center. Mahalo. ”
“ A number of us came to this Thai food restaurant. I heard it was one of the best if not the best in Maui. I found it to be as good as any place in Honolulu. A few of unique things: the bowl retained heat for a long time. It seemed to be some sort of stainless steel with insulation? The curry stayed hot and tasty for entire time eating it. Very nice. They give a LOT of vegetables! I ordered my favorite green curry and it was delicious. It was very nice to have so much tofu and vegetables in the curry. Simple fantastic! I heard the yellow curry was really great too. The service is great and the owner was really nice! ”
“ Awesome food! Excellent service! We were there for lunch on a Friday afternoon. It was pretty relaxed and we got seated quickly. We had Pad Thai and Yellow Curry. If you don't like fish or oyster sauce in your Thai food, this restaurant has marked dishes as Vegan Option. Those can be ordered without those. Very flavorful. Medium Spicy is American Medium, not Thai Medium. We asked for hot sauce and made these dishes to our liking. Large portions, excellent service, great food! Will be back again! ”
“ This place is great, everytime we have tried it the food blows us away. So much flavor! We got the Tom Kha soup and the crispy fish with mango salad and fresh veggies spring rolls. All at an affordable price. The food came out quick and the staff were attentive and friendly. They have 2 different dining rooms, no frills but clean and plenty of seats. ”
“ Delicious Thai food with quick turnaround time and huge portions! We got the pumpkin curry, tom kha soup and eggplant. All were quite large portions, and not too spicy either. Would definitely return! ”
“ We came here and got the pineapple fried rice, pumpkin curry with tofu, and summer rolls. The summer rolls were not very generous on the shrimp but there was a lot of fresh herby ingredients. The star of that dish was easily the peanut sauce. It was a peanut butter sauce with extra creaminess with emphasis on the butter. I promise you that at the end of this dish, there was no peanut sauce remaining. The pineapple fried rice had some curry seasoning and a good amount of fluff, for instance, pineapples, cashews, shrimp. It was a good tasty filler. I do like my rice a little bit less soggy but not a big deal. We got the medium spice for the pumpkin curry and it definitely had some spice. I probably would've preferred it to be a little more spicy so next time probably get it a little more than medium. I was hoping the tofu would be pan fried, but instead it was just normal, firm tofu. Overall, it was a curry that was what I expected and still tasty. Lastly we had the Thai iced tea with coconut milk. The coconut milk does make it creamier and thicker and also less sweet which is what I would prefer. Service is good here and pretty reasonably priced. ”
“ I finally got to try Nutcharee's, whose roots started with a food truck in Maui's east side town of Hana. ATMOSPHERE: Located in the Azeka strip mall on the oceanside, they're tucked away in the corner near their new eatery, Noodles And Rice. There was plenty of low top seating in the clean, simple space. RESERVATIONS: Not taken and not really needed. PARKING: Plenty of free parking. MENU: Beer and wine. Thai apps, salads, soups, rice, noodles, curries and stir fried dishes. FOOD: Tom Yum Soup - $17.00 Textbook flavors of sweet, savory and tangy. We opted for chicken as our protein and medium spice level which weighed a 6 on a 10 heat scale. Ingredients were fresh, chunky and plentiful. The bowl can easily feed four. Pad Kee Mao - $18.00 AKA drunken noodles. I opted for (tender & lean) steak and medium spice. Far from being a pad kee mao connoisseur, I thought it was a tasty, sweet & savory dish that contained my favorite foods of starch, meat and veggies. Like the tom yum soup, the heat level was about a 6 on a 10-scale. DESSERT: Ice Cream The homemade flavor was coconut. Two huge scoops came standard. I didn't have any but my spouse and our friend reported intense coconut flavor and a tad over-sweetness. SERVICE: Excellent, attentive and professional. Food was delivered all at once, fresh & hot in about 10 minutes. TIP: 10% Yelp check in discount! OVERALL: Affordable, tasty dishes and great service. A definite return. ”
“ Some of the best Thai food I've had! 1. The staff is all very friendly, answered any questions, and quick. 2. The food is delicious, fresh, and good portions 3. The restaurant itself is a very cute little whole in the wall. The tables are a little close together especially when it gets super busy but if you get over stimulated easily take out is always a great option. I've tried the pad Thai, yellow curry, masaman curry, and the fried rice. All have been a hit! ”
