Amazing food and great taste!
We ordered a couple of dishes and requested a spice level of 5 out of 6. While the heat was impressive, a level 4 might have been slightly more enjoyable for balancing the flavors. We thoroughly loved every dish, and the server was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely visit again if I’m in the area!

The food has been consistently good every time I’ve eaten there. The speed of service is a bit slow due to them being consistently busy. But the food is worth the wait.

really enjoyed it. You can tell they use real, fresh garlic, which made a big difference. It was really spicy, but in a good way—I loved the kick.

Worse than mall food court Thai. Small portions, bad taste, and a complete disaster if you order anything with noodles. I honestly don’t know how this place is still in business.
Pad Thai – They used super thin noodles, which completely ruined the texture. It was way too sweet and sour, like they just dumped bottled sauce over it.
Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) – Hands down the worst I’ve ever had. It was watery, not stir-fried at all, and somehow, they also used thin noodles instead of the wide ones that are supposed to be in this dish.
Panang Curry – I have no idea why there were so many cucumbers floating in the soup. The curry itself was thin and watery, lacking any richness or depth of flavor. The rice bowl was tiny, literally smaller than my fist—and I’m a slim female!
Thai Basil Fried Rice – The only thing I could finish, but not because it was good—just because everything else was worse.
When I asked the server about the thin Pad Thai noodles and cucumber curry—he said, “That’s how we’ve done it for five years.” Maybe that explains why everything was so bad. I have no idea how they’ve lasted this long. Do NOT waste your time or money here.

This was arguably some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had! Our server/owner’s daughter was so sweet and personable. The beef salad and panang curry were so good, sometimes I think about it all the way over here in the mainland. I’m surprised at some of these negative reviews, but this restaurant was reddit recommended and approved by locals which I think says a lot. Mahalo and much love to Original Thai Cuisine <3

Good customer service. The staff was very clear and nice in taking orders. She thoroughly asked us details about how spicy we would like for each meals we ordered. And she wears a nice smile I had Pad Thai and it was good. We are satisfied with the customer service and the food. Thank you!

This little Thai café is an absolute gem! First off, the service is exemplary. I was greeted by two lovely young ladies with beautiful smiles who took great care in taking my order. I asked for Pad Thai Shrimp “to go” and sat outside on a bench to wait. Imagine my pleasant surprise when the kind girl brought it out to me in only 5 minutes! Let’s talk about the food: this pad thai is the ono kine! It has the thick, sweet sauce that holds beautifully to the noodles. I suspect the satisfying umami flavor comes from a generous amount of tamarind puree. One note of caution: I love spicy food, but the “medium” was almost too much for me. You may want to stick with “mild.”

We had the Panang curry and Yellow curry with spring rolls and everything tasted SO AMAZING. Cute little family owned restaurant tucked away in a shopping center but don’t let that deter you. I’d go back every week if I could! Service was great and the waitresses were very friendly and attentive. Please go and try it!

I want to eat here everyday it’s so delicious. my 6 year old “thinks” he doesn’t like Thai food so I never get it anymore but he’s on a. Trip with his dad and so I’ve been trying all the Thai restaurants In Kona again and this has been my fave so far ! The flavors are amazing and there are so many more things I want to try but everything we ordered was sooo yummy. My two year old and my mom loved it as well. Coming back ASAP

Good food (thought won’t say the best Thai food!)
The avocado fried were great! Something unheard of so we tried them. Really crispy and fun to eat!
Do ask for the lunch special on weekdays – rice, egg roll and an entree. Decent quantity and good value for money!
Decent service and good food.
