    I’ve ordered takeout from there a few times back when I worked downtown. My take was that the food was good and “right-sized” for the price. Not sure if the rates for parking is still reasonable but Alii Place on Alakea is in walking distance.

    • @FoodFiend
      @FoodFiend  5 днів тому +1

      Ah that's a great idea to park by Alii'i Place. I havent parked there since the Mandalay closed down, so I don't know the current rate.

      He mentioned the green curry and I think chicken katsu. But because they change dishes everyday I just got the two main items. Glad I was able to taste the curry. The pictures on Yelp for the other dishes look good too!

      I always eat the Thai curry and the vegan cold noodle w sesame sauce. It’s a unique flavor w that sauce and I wish I knew how they make it. The vegan noodle is a healthy alternative and it is just enough. It comes w a small sushi rice thingy and a broccoli 🥦 and cauliflower w pumpkin. It’s really Oishi. The other dish I like is the chicken balls. They make an orange chicken dish but I don’t like orange chicken. That karaage chicken one comes w a spring roll w is da bomb. I asked Mieko if she could just sell the spring roll but she said no cuz it takes too much time to make. 🤣

    I've never tried green curry because I was afraid of the heat. I usually only get the yellow curry, but I may have to chance it and order the green one because you made it sound pretty darn yummy. Interesting menu. Wow! Mac salad at a Thai restaurant!?!

    • @FoodFiend
      @FoodFiend  5 днів тому +1

      Actually green curry (well the ones I've had anyway) is not really spicy. I like it because the green comes from grinded up basil, which is my favorite. Also, I usually love the additions in it. Usually they always put eggplant in green curry. If you want to try something close to home, I like Siam Express Kitchen near Kabuki Restaurant in Waimalu Shopping Center. I think maybe I misspoke, but never had mac salad at a Thai restaurant. I just mentioned no mac salad here if people expected it since it is a plate lunch. Have a great day!
