This "Pop Up" is a walk up Food stand open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It does have outside picnic tables under an awning. While the location and building is minimalistic, the food is far from that. This is some of the best Thai food found on the island. They have a great selection of the usual Thai food, and everything I've tried has been fantastic. They give you a very generous portion and the prices are very reasonable (for Hawai'i) for the quality and quantity. Definitely recommend this place

Delicious food and warm hospitality...what more could you ask for??? I'm seriously at a loss for words to describe how GOOD their food is. Hands down the best on the east side...maybe the best on the island! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Fast service. Cute open air restaurant with a few tables under cover. Great flavors, can get mild, medium or spicy. Fresh ingredients! Watched them cut my mango for mango/ sticky rice.

Friendly staff, fresh delicious food every time. Love when we go here. Also if your in the market for a plant they sell some on the side. I got myself a money plant which came in a beautiful pot. Would recommend the pad thai, papaya salad and kids chicken.also if you'd like to eat on location they provided a shelter and seating.

Living in HPP, I was curious about this place and decided to try it out… and was it worth it—YES! The ladies are super sweet and friendly and the prices are cheap and affordable for the amount of food and service they give you. Give this place a try—the food is freshly made and you can definitely tell that veggies are fresh and crisp as well. :)
