    Kōloa Thai Bistro is was a great find! It’s close to the Poipu beach area where we are staying and located in a two story shopping building on the second floor. Request and inside table if you will be enjoying cocktails and/or wine, as they are not permitted on the outdoor tables. The wine list by the glass is small but it had both a red and white French wine that we enjoyed! The hospitality, promptness, and food was outstanding. We ordered the egg rolls, Pad Thai and a Hawaiian stir fried rice dish with chicken, beef and shrimp. Everything came out piping hot and delicious. If you are looking for a casual place to eat with great food, this is the place!

    Food was fresh in a very low key casual setting. Fried lobster rice served in a pineapple was a ten.

    Probably the best meal we’ve had visiting Kauai. The island is littered with pretentious restaurants with astronomical prices that offer really mediocre food. This place has honest Thai cuisine with ultra fresh ingredients. Ample portions for under $20. Best curry I’ve had in a long time.

    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
