Happy Hour - Edit
Happy Hour from 4-6PM is the best time to go. The Tom Kah soup and red and yellow curries are on the menu there and able to be subbed with tofu. The smaller portions will allow you to try each without breaking the bank or ordering too much food. Had the salted mixed nuts but it was just cold and wet diced bell peppers in a bowl with peanuts and cashews. Not a great mix, and expected more from it as an appetizer.

Good food, terrible service - Edit
I went here with my family and most of us, including me, were happy with our food. However, the dinner was unfortunately ruined by our arrogant waiter.
Read moreThey have a system where they ask each person how they'd like the spicyness from 1-5. I enjoy spicy food and ask for a 5 while my mom does not and asks for a 2. When we get our food, hers is extremely spicy while mine barely is at all. I'm fine with it but for my mom it's inedible. Naturally we ask the waiter if there's been a mix up but he shows that he entered the order correctly. We ask if maybe the kitchen misread it, but he disregards it and just says that is how her dish is supposed to be, also questioning her whether she's used to eating spicy food. I ask how it's possible that her dish being a 2 is much spicier than my dish being a 5, and he replies that the spiciness scale is different for each dish because they are cooked differently. I tell him it doesn't make any sense since it's not stated when ordering, but he nonchalantly replies "that's how thai food is" (not being thai himself I might add). So he doesn't bother checking with the kitchen, doesn't offer a new plate and doesn't offer to take it off the bill. Not the experience we expected unfortunately.
It's also worth mentioning that the front of house seemed quite uninterested in helping us when we arrived, very uncaring attitude. We will not be coming back to say the least.
Pros: Food was good, Section for vegetarian food (vegan upon request)
Cons: Terrible service, Spiciness roulette

Clearly marked vegan options - Edit
The waiter was very knowledgeable about the vegan options on the menu and explained everything clearly. I got the drunken noodles, but they weren’t the best I’ve had, still tasty and filling, but missing a bit of flavour.

Solid Thai in Waikiki - Edit
Located on the main strip in Waikiki, returned multiple times to enjoy the quality food, good service with minimal waiting time for food to be served. Multiple options. The yellow curry was especially well done. Slightly pricey.

Super delicious! - Edit
Firstly, our waiter was fantastic and extremely helpful. He advised us that anything on the vegetarian menu was actually suitable for vegans too, he also showed us which options on the regular menu could be adapted to suit us.
Read moreWe had vegetable rolls to start with an absolutely delicious peanut sauce. Then I had a yellow curry and my Fiancé had drunken Noodles. I had spice level 1, he had 2.
Be aware that 2 definitely had a kick to it! I absolutely adored my meal, best I've had so far in Waikiki!
Pros: Lots of options , Delicious food, Helpful staff

Great vegan pad Thai - Edit
I ordered a pad Thai and the restaurant was very accommodating - removed egg from the dish and also allowed me to make other modifications like removing peanuts and making the sauce gluten free. The milks was a tad spicy for me but overall great experience!

This that I good is more pricey for a reason. The produce is fresh, the service is great, the presentation is excellent and the tofu isn’t all that weird, deep-fried, triangle business one is used to seeing at a Thai restaurant. Also, the sangria is tasty! #Veganuary

Excellent High End Thai - Edit
Every plate was bar none delicious. The vegetarian menu is in the back with many different options. I ordered the Swimming Rama which consisted of plentiful large cubes of stir-fried tofu on a large bed of spinach in a peanut sauce. The mixed vegetables tofu dish was very flavorful with perfectly stir-fried vegetables. Probably one of the best mixed vegetables plates I’ve ever ordered. The Drunkin Noodles were also excellent. The veggie spring roll appetizer was fresh with that same delicious peanut sauce.

Read moreMy partner and I ordered a vegan version of the tom yum appetizer to share and I ordered a vegan curry, which he and I enjoyed. Both dishes were beautiful and flavored very well. I'd definitely eat at Noi Thai again!
