Naung Mai Thai Kitchen - Thai restaurant in Hilo - 86 Kilauea Ave, USA

Enjoyed eating at this establishment, hosted was accommodating to our last minute 8 party reservation request and allowed us to split the bill. Food was had good flavors, with some dishes better than others and otherwise solid. Tasted more like how dishes would come out being cooked at home and less like those at other Thai restaurants I've been to with a few more tricks, but solid fare. I believe our waitress said the restaurant opened in 2022, and I wish them well.

If you enjoy Thai cuisine, this restaurant is a good choice. The fried rice and seafood are both delicious, and you can also choose different levels of spiciness! However, when it comes to recommending meat dishes, I'm not sure how to advise you! We had a nice experience here. The owner was very friendly. The food came up very fast since we hurried to the airport.

I ordered the Thai Herb Salad with chicken. Unfortunately it was a basic American salad, with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and carrots & red cabbage garnish…no herbs. Doesn’t remotely resemble the photo on the menu. Pretty disappointing. Tried to raise the issue with the restaurant staff, who were friendly but dismissed it. I recommend they update the photos on their menu of this is what they are selling, it will help to avoid future disappointment.

This place is vegetarian friendly and so many options for vegetarian Thai food. We ordered the following items and everything was Thai hot. Pad Thai - it was really good and the chilies were provided under the plate so once you mix it. It was like heaven. Panang Curry with Brown rice - the best curry I have ever had and the brown rice was great. Everything was spicy and flavorful. Mix vegetables with Sticky Rice - this was first time sticky rice were sticky I have had sticky rice at other Thai restaurants but this was authentic. It was so good we went again and ordered so much had to take it to go. The food was amazing.

BEST THAI FOOD ON HILO SIDE Beautiful little restaurant, authentic food, warm and welcoming staff. Priced well also- what more could you ask for. Parking can be a bit tricky but so worth it to eat here. Definitely recommend the glass noodles and the seafood red curry. And of course a Thai tea!

What a delicious vegan-friendly place! Great thai food. We had the summer spring rolls, panang curry with tofu, pad kee mau, and mango sticky rice for dessert. Staff was very nice and welcoming, the food came fairly quickly, and it hit all the right spots with flavor and spice. Highly recommended💛

Usually, pumpkin curry is not part of my order at Thai restaurants but after Nuang Mai, I want it every single day!!! 🎃 wow it was the most delicious dish! We also got the fried rice and changed the chicken & shrimp for pineapple and it was amazing.

We went to Naung Mai for lunch and ordered Basil Eggplant with Tofu and yellow curry with Chicken. Both the dishes are served with rice. It was hands down one of the best Thai food I have had till now. The flavors were authentic, balanced and just perfect. I would definitely recommend going to this place. Thanks for the wonderful meal!
