Kiri Thai — Restaurant in Hawaii

A+++

We walked in about 15 minutes before they were about to close. We kindly asked if they would still serve us and the staff member was incredibly kind. She said “yes of course, we don’t want you to leave hungry!”

She sat us down and told us not to rush ❤️

We started with the shrimp summer rolls. So so delicious. It came with 2 dipping sauces, one was peanut based and the other was fish sauce based. We loved it.

Then we ordered chicken larb—ground chicken with spices, lime, fish sauce and ground rice on top of chopped romaine. It was really refreshing and seasoned very well. The flavor was fantastic but he wished the lettuce wasn’t chopped and instead like “cups” that he could scoop the larb into and pick up to eat. Otherwise it was top notch.

I got the massaman shrimp curry.. WOW. This blew my mind. The flavors, spice level, and shrimp to veggie ratio was perfect. The jasmine rice on the side soaked everything up and made it that much heartier. If you don’t have anything else, I highly recommend this dish.

Thank you again for a great experience and delicious food. We live on Kona and will definitely be...

Our waitress was prompt, sweet, and made sure that we had everything we needed! Service was impeccable.

The food though? Let’s get this straight. I was blown out of the water. The larb had a wonderful spicy and tangy flavour to it. The ground pork was perfectly cooked and the herbs added beautiful Thai overtones. I’ve never had anything like it before!

We also had the crispy duck. Perfectly crispy and ultra juicy. The sauce was a tad sweet but also savoured in umami.

The Pad Kee Mao was exactly what I had expected based on the other orders. Purely delicious. Definitely worth the $5 squid add-on, as they piled the dish with the protein!

We also had the mango sticky rice at the end. Tasted like other Thai restaurants in Canada, so therefore, a perfect recipe!

Overall, we’ll definitely be back. Loved it here! Such a nice break from all the other touristy foods...

I will never order from Kiri Thai again. I Placed a Delivery order order through doordash. It was confirmed at 6:30pm when the dasher came to pick up the delivery at 7:35 they told her it has been started yet that it would take an additional 45mins to fulfill. Dasher texted me I tried to call Kiri Thai to speak to someone after 20min they finally called me to let me know that they didn't have an item and would make something else. I asked why they would accept a doordash order that they couldn't fulfill in a timely manner. Her explanation was they only had one cook tonight. I said why accept doordash tonight if they couldn't fulfill orders. She asked if I wanted to cancel that's it. Dasher finally arrived at 8:45pm and they forgot two of my items! Unbelievable and unacceptable doordash gave me a small refund I won't ever order...
