Absolutely the best meals I have ever had in my life. My family and I came here the second to last night of our vacation and ended up coming back on our last night as well because we loved it so much. If you are looking for pad Thai and green curry then this isn’t the place for you. But if you’re willing to expand your horizons a bit and let Opal order for you, you will not be disappointed! I honestly don’t know exactly what I ate, all I know is that it was delicious and I wanted more! Everything tasted familiar but different at the same time. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant!

You might love or hate everything about this place but it can’t be both… surprisingly, I loved it. I only say that because usually I’m a traditionalist as far as restaurants go. The food was phenomenal and although we waited about two hours to get into this exclusive little place, where else does the chef personally sit with you and tell you what you should eat based off what you like? Him and his son would be arguing and serving and cooking and laughing, Opal Thai transports you into a movie scene… The location has enough tables not to feel too crowded and the food again, so good. I won’t be missing it next time I’m in Honolulu, wait or no wait. I just hope the chef remembers me.

Best Thai food! One of a kind experience. Opal really went above and beyond. He asked us some questions and then started making our food based on what we told him. All the food came out AMAZING! Even the food catered to the kids. There was a good variety of dishes. We had some leftovers (but not much because we kept eating LOL). $280 for all that food, tip, and some drinks for 10 people was actually inexpensive. Definitely coming back!

Delicious food, with friendly and "personalized" service. Would have easily been a 5, but they don't take AMEX, which is at least one star off in my book. The chef will ask you your taste and cook you what he thinks you will like. He was pretty spot on with me. But he did order me twice as I would have ordered for myself, which made it a bit pricey for one person. Still, the food was good so I would recommend going here. But until they start to accept AMEX, I will probably not return.

INCREDIBLY AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Aside from some of the absolute best food on the island, this place should be a 'must go' for the experience alone. The owner will chat with you about what kind of food you like, and place the order for you. Don't be concerned about not picking from the menu - the food is mind blowing!

The owner has a way with kids. He had my 3 year old eating vegetables like I've never seen!

The service from the rest of the staff is on point too. Our waters never got empty, and we almost never noticed when empty plates would just disappear. Staff members are always right there if you need anything. Need another beer? They'll probably beat you to asking, but if not they're all over ready to assist.

This is our new date night restaurant. Nothing on the island can even come close to comparing to Opal Thai!
