Great spot

Very nice of them to stay open a little extra longer so we could make it in. I ordered a vegan green curry with rice and vegan pad Thai. The green curry was sooooo yummy. The pad Thai was sweet. We found adding a bit of soy sauce helped.

Pros: Friendly, Great spot over looking the street

Cons: Serves animal

Wide selection

We ordered a number of vegan items for take out. I was pleasantly surprised because it’s a “tourist” restaurant and I had low expectations.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Go See Me, Spicy Mint Noodles (pad kee mao), and Jelly Noodle soup.

Great vegan options- have to ask

Affordable thai food with great view. Most dishes are available vegan- but you have to ask bc not on menu. Yellow curry and pad thai are my favorite so far.

Pros: Lots of yummy vegan options, Good price, Great vie

Cons: Have to ask for vegan- menu not labeled

Just ok

We were really disappointed by the food we ate at Kona Taeng. The eggplant dish was undercooked and oily. The pad see ew was oily and underwhelming. The rice was dry and had clearly been sitting around for hours. The panang curry (vegan) was pretty good, but nothing I'd go back to eat again.

Cons: Food is quite oily

Some good vegan options

Delicious panang! Very tasty. 4 stars because it could use more veggies.

Nice Thai restaurant

Ate here several times on my stay on the big island. Had the red curry twice and a cashew with tofu once. Be sure to let them know you want your dish made vegetarian without fish sauce and they can accommodate. Nice service and the food came out fast every visit.

Pros: Good food , Good service , Food came out fast

Not so hot

My wife and I had our last dinner here several months ago and were not happy. The food was typical for a middle of the road Thai restaurant with Tofu options.

The waitress had a very I could care less if you were here attitude. When are food finally arrived (they weren't busy) I asked for a beer which never showed up. The food itself was bland and I'm sorry it was our last dinner.

Pros: Good location., Not over priced

Cons: Service, Bland food

Enjoyed this place

Nice people, with a flexible menu that can accommodate vegan preferences. We had the basil spring rolls with tofu, which came with two nice dipping sauces, as well as the veggie fried rice with tofu and no egg. Food came super quickly and was very reasonably priced.

Friendly vegan options!

We sat down and asked if they could do vegan options they said absolutely. We ordered red curry veggies with tofu & vegan fried rice with veg and tofu. Also for starters vegan fried spring rolls. Everything was delicious and huge portions.

Dissappointing

We came here due to a great review and were very disappointed. The waitress spoke very poor English and had a hard time understanding us. We started to order and one person asked for more time. Clearly she didn't understand, because she came back with the two dishes ready... and still didn't ask for the third order. We had to flag down another waiter, and wait until our dishes were getting cold to get the third person's order. The dishes - pad thai and a curry - were not good. Mine tasted nothing like pad thai. I would not recommend this place.

Pros: Location

Cons: Poor food, Poor service

Yummy

We had a lovely Christmas meal of bean thread noodle soup and fried tofu when many other places were closed for the holidays. The chef clearly knew what vegan meant and was very friendly- and complementary- in her service of preparing the meal. I knew to ask for the vegan broth thanks to other reviews!

Pros: Vegan broth, Simple and delicious, Easy to order

Cons: Not a vegetarian establishment

the best Thai food ever

The best food we had in our holidays in Hawaii! The staff is extremely nice and helpful, amazing service, fresh food and full of flavour. They know straight away about vegan food and they have plenty of option in the menu! I'll be back

Best Vegan Thai Ever!

In search for something different but dreading the conversation about "no animal products" we decided to give this place a try. They were very friendly, seated us and when we explained that we do not eat any animal products, the owner smiled and said she is vegan too! She went through the menu and showed us the plethora of choices! When our food arrived, each plate made our taste buds hum with delight. They really did a spectacular job. The best part, was when the bill came. It was very reasonable! We ended up eating here three times in one week! We would have given 5 cows but they do serve meat.

Pros: Great Vegan Choices, Friendly staff, Clean

Cons: Kinda difficult to find
