After a beach day in Ewa, this is a nice place to stop on your way home. The table favorites is the Thai fried chicken appetizer. The sweet chili sauce to dip in hit the spot. The pineapple fried rice with beef was flavorful and had plenty of meat. Panang curry with chicken was ok; don't forget to order rice. Staff were helpful and food came out quick. Plus, parking right in front.

A hole in the wall Thai restaurant tucked in Ewa beach. Has a very "homey" feel when you walk in. Came here to eat lunch with my cousin. It wasn't busy so we were seated right away. The dining space is actually huge compared to other Thai restaurants. They also had 2 tvs constantly playing in the background, very nice for entertaining customers that are waiting for their food. I noticed that there was a lot of to-go customers picking up their orders so that's a nice sign that this place is good. A few things we ordered on the menu: Curry noodles (5/5): Pad Thai style noodles with a rich creamy curry sauce! My first time ever trying this dish and it was sooo flavorful and good. I def recommend this dish! I don't see it too often on the menu at the other locations. Tom Kha (3/5): It was more on the tarty sour soup. It was flooded with lots of veggies which I like. But wish it had more coconut milk and was more creamy. Papaya salad Laos style medium (4/5): You can never go wrong with papaya salad. Definitely a Thai/Lao staple and one of my favorite dishes! I love how it came with crunchy lettuce & cabbage. I wish it had a bit more spice to it, as I like my food spicy. But overall, it was good! Thai fried chicken (5/5): They gave a GENEROUS amount of fried chicken! Enough to feed 4 people, it was sooo crunchy and good. Love this! Overall, this place definitely is ONO THAI food! I can't wait to visit again.

Female hostess and server happily welcomed and offered us to sit at any four top seater in the restaurant. She also mentioned, "You've come to the right place today." We sat at a four seater closest to the wall. Two observations was we're not offered a spice level when same server took our order. There's also no indication of spice level or preference on the menu. Go all in! Ingredients in summer rolls a.k.a Poh Pia Sod tasted very fresh and wrapped tightly in rice paper. Peanut dipping sauce was served slightly cold. Prefer to have it served warm. Thai Fried Chicken "Gai Tod" was plentiful. Crunchy batter tasted yummy! One of chicken pieces attached to a bone was on the drier side. Needed Thai sweet chili sauce to balance the dryness. Another piece without the bone tasted moist. Stir fried ingredients of Beef Pad King complemented each other; however, taste of gravy reminded me of beef broccoli. Squeezed the lime over Chicken Pad Thai. Noodles appeared and tasted more on the wet side. Chicken and tofu complemented the moisture in this entree. Our fave was the Beef Pannang which delivered a medium spice level. We loved the delicious combination of coconut milk, curry, and peanuts. Generous servings of tender beef slices, long green beans, bell peppers, and onions. Curry soaked up nicely and integrated well with white rice. Same server checked on us a few times to see how our food tasted, ensured that carafe was refilled with water, we had enough napkins, and cleared our plates in a timely manner. She also brought out a few to go containers. There's free parking in shared lot and one restroom in the restaurant.

My first time eating at Ono Thai after hearing so many good things about it! My cousin is a regular and does takeout weekly. This place doesn't disappoint. The flavors definitely do pop in each dish we've eaten! Food is delicious! We got calamari, thai fried chicken, spring rolls, yellow curry with chicken, pad ki maow and sticky rice. My favorite was the pad ki maow! it's pretty spicy and had flavors that I don't think i've had in any food i've eaten before. Yellow curry with chicken was not bad, it tastes better when you mix it with your sticky rice. Service was good, often got checked up on. The ambiance is not bad. It was slightly dark in the back of the restaurant. Maybe that's the vibe they go for. It's also super quiet in there, i've noticed I caught myself whispering when talking. They should place some music to fill in the quietness.

My one regret is not having pictures of our dinner. We visited for my brother's birthday as a party of 17, and they could accommodate us. We were there during their peak time, and they handled the rush well. Although there were tons of orders to prepare, the quality of the food was not compromised. We ordered a ton of food but the ones everyone enjoyed the Thai Fried Chicken and the beef panang of all the 10+ things we ordered. Also, if you order the papaya salad their spice level is "Thai spice" medium could not be handled by some of our spicy noodle eaters if that helps.

Coming from the mainland, I had a hard time looking for a Thai food spot that's both delicious and affordable but this place definitely checks those two boxes off! I'd say this place has the BEST Thai food on the island thus far! Such a little cute hole in a wall gem in Ewa! We came on a Saturday night and they were hella busy. We took the last table available before they started having a wait (we got lucky!). The restaurant only have a handful of tables and only had two servers who's running everything including their pick up/to go orders. And I think they did such a great job while being under a lot of stress. They were also very nice and friendly! We got 4 orders to share between three people (two adults and one toddler) and their serving size for everything we ordered was more than enough unlike other places we've been to. We didn't realize that we ordered so much until everything came so we ended up having so much leftovers that we took home lol. If there's one dish that I'd truly recommend, it's their Thai fried chicken! Omg, it was amazing! A definite must try! It's so worth the $13 with how it tasted and how much they give you! I mean, everything else we got was also a hit! We got pad see ew, beef panang curry, & beef massaman curry. Not a lot of Thai restaurants in the island offers massaman curry so we had to try and it didn't disappoint! Just a heads up, rice doesn't come with any of the entrees tho so you have to order it separately and it's $3 for one serving. Overall, this place is a hit! We're looking forward to coming back and trying their other dishes next time!
