Finding the location was the most challenging in this day and age when gps is second nature, it sometimes neglects to say the building is listed on the street but actually set back on the second floor of the building on the street in a shopping complex, but we found it. Allowed time. Food and service were very good. Atmosphere was clean and second story allows for cross breeze cooling since that side of the island is warmest. An enjoyable meal.

All the mains did not come out together. Our guest waited much too long for his overcooked salmon special. Appetizers & the music were the best part of our evening at Koloa Thai.

We ordered the Sushi combo. The rice of Sushi were not cook right which was to softer and sticky. The reason I came this time because we had a good Sushi roll last time. It was disappointed this time.

We very much enjoyed our dining experience. The crab appetizer along with the potstickers were delicious. We split a very large portion of drunken noodles with chicken, shrimp and beef. So good!!!! Highly recommend.
