    This is a strip mall gem in Kihei (Center). It is not a top-drawer location, but everything is top-notch. The food is fresh and authentic-Thai. Cocktail list is creative and good; wine list even better - great selection/good value. Everything to eat is the real deal from appetizers to entrees - plenty of choice and very good. We even had the best coconut ice cream we’ve had in a while. This place gets high marks and an unqualified recommendation.

    Food was delicious! Drinks were wildly over priced and filled with ice so went down too easily. Would return 🙂
