"Best yellow curry I've ever had! So much coconut flavor goodness, with such fresh ingredients, I had to come back three times while we were visiting the island."

"Our go to Thai food trucks on the windward side. We ordered the Pad See Ew, Yellow Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice and everything was absolutely delicious. The Pad See Ew with shrimp was packed with flavor, had a perfect char on the noodles, and came with generous portions of shrimp and vegetables. The Yellow Curry was rich and comforting, with just the right amount of spice and creamy coconut flavor. And the Mango Sticky Rice? Fresh, sweet, and a perfect way to finish the meal. Friendly service and fair prices, definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area. Will be coming back!"

"If you are a Thai food enthusiast and happen to be on the North Shore, there is a hidden gem waiting for you. For those not familiar with the North Shore, it can be a little difficult to find since it is not directly visible from the road but is right next to Kaya's store in Punalu'u, the 3rd food truck from the road (the opposite side of the Aloha Shrimp Truck. The truck is run by an extremely nice and talented couple. The food was as delicious as any Thai restaurant I have visited. We ordered the Spring Rolls, Pad See Ew and Yellow Curry. All were excellent and in large portions that took us two meals to finish. They were even kind enough to provide me a side of spices since I like it spicier then my wife does. We will absolutely go back next time we are on the North Shore. Highly Recommended!"
