Chao Phya Thai Restaurant

Never had Thai food, and our server made it so easy. Wow. Some of the best food I've had, and amazing customer service!! I'll be back!

Excellent food, both myself and wife loved it and would recommend to others. The shrimp and pineapple red curry dish was GREAT!

The Pad Thai was very bland. We both agreed Chao Phya Thai wasn't as good as we were hoping it would be. However, we did like the atmosphere and presentation. (If your looking for GOOD authentic Thai food we found Kits n Koa restaurant right down the road and it was phenomenal! My husband lived in Thailand and said they have the BEST sticky rice he's had since leaving Thailand.)

Great food. Friendly service. Wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely return.

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.
