    I was originally at the shopping center to go to the urgent care but I'd apparently gotten the wrong hours somehow and when I arrived the urgent care was closed. But the Thai Village across the shopping center from the urgent care was open and I will never pass up an opportunity for panang curry. So I pulled up a menu and phoned in an order for takeout, then made my way across the shopping center to Thai Village. The first thing I noticed when I got there was that I couldn't get inside. I am in a wheelchair and they obviously do not get many customers in wheelchairs because I was able to open the door and wheel inside without any problem, but then I found myself stuck between their hostess stand at the entrance and the door. There was no room to go around things either. Benches were set just inside the entry doors, offset to the left and right, and the narrow channel formed between the bench and the hostess set-up was just about an inch too narrow to accommodate my wheelchair. The woman who came out to help me was very obviously embarrassed by the situation when she saw I was stuck and quickly folded up one of the benches and moved it out of the way so that I was no longer wedged in place inside the door. My food was done very quickly and I had to wait to eat it until I got home because I was taking an Uber but it was agonizing to be able to smell my food and not be able to taste it. It did not disappoint. This panang curry was very good. The sticky rice order seemed a little small but that was probably my fault for rushing when I placed the order trying to get it in before they closed. I didn't notice if there was a large size option of the sticky rice on the menu. Very happy with Thai Village, I'll definitely be returning in the future.

    Hands down the best place to enjoy authentic Thai food. The generous portions hold up to the pricing and the flavors are definitely on point. Their Pad Thai is unusually on the sweeter side, but it's a good pairing with their curries. The young woman working the front was so courteous and pleasant, which is why we keep coming back. Their fried chicken is a homerun! Our favorite are the spring rolls and penang curry! Yum! Definitely recommend this place.

    This place was INCREDIBLE! The thick noodles in the pad si-ew are delicious! The flavors of everything we tried exceeded our expectations. The service was quick, the people are kind and friendly, and the atmosphere is so inviting. We definitely can’t wait to eat here again! Thanks for the wonderful food experience!

    I happened to walk into this restaurant by chance, but I am so glad that I did! This has to be the best Thai food that I have had in YEARS. The food was seasoned well and you can tell that it was made with love and purpose. The staff was extremely attentive and polite. I enjoyed the fried dumplings, you can tell that they were not frozen. Overall an amazing experience and I would recommend this place and gladly return!

    Authentic Thai food. Their spring roll is my favorite out of all the other spring rolls on Oahu lol. Hope it's not a hit or miss and you get them fresh from the pan ;) I'd often order a takeout just for spring rolls and Thai tea!

    Thai Village is my go-to when my family and I are craving Thai food. This is our spot since Thai Kitchen in Waipahu closed down. I have tried other places, but I was never satisfied. We normally get our usual: Fried chicken (boneless and so crispy!) Spring Rolls, Beef Pho (for the kids,) Yellow curry with chicken (boneless, medium heat,) Evil Curry with tofu (hot,) and Pad Thai with tofu. I have tried their crispy noodles and papaya salad—-winner! We normally do take out. I wanted to pay over the phone, which they normally do not do, but the staff was so nice to allow me to do so. I know since being a patron, the prices have risen, but it is truly worth it as we normally have left-overs for 2 days. They have several locations— food is always consistent. Try them out and let me know what you think!
