    I ordered the fried Mahi Mahi which was a little dry, not very Thai -like, could have been better with more sauce. I really like my wife’s drunken noodles

    From the moment we were greeted and ushered to our table marked with a welcome sign, we fell in love with this new restaurant. Ordered the Chicken Satay (delicious), the Coconut Shrimp (delicious) and the Combination Pineapple with Fried Rice (delicious). We have been coming to Poipu Beach for 25 years and Koloa Thai Bistro has moved to the top of our recommended list. We will be back before we fly home on the 31st. Keep up the good work and Mahalo. Nothing fancy and it is located upstairs but worth the walk.

    The food was boring. We ordered 3 dishes to try . We order mild so maybe if we had increase the heat it would have been better.🤷‍♀️ The cocktails were expensive and boring too. Mia Tia had absolutely no flavor

    Not a great experience. Went to sister restaurant, Alisa Sushi & Thai at Harbor Mall in Lihue twice last week and LOVED their food, attentive and personable service and the setting so much. Koloa Thai food came out dry and tasteless. Super bright lights in restaurant so no ambience inside at all. Service just so so. Would never return to Koloa Thai.
