Craving Thai Food Truck - Koloa, Hawaii

Worst pad see ew I have ever had. Vegetables were barely cooked, very little flavor and not a teriyaki based flavor and used fettuccine noodles. Maybe they do other dishes ok but wouldn’t recommend. My husband got the poke bowl next door and liked it.

The food trucks in Kauai are serious contenders for quality dining experience. At least in the south side I figure more business is done out of food trucks and what is described as “hole in the wall” kind of restaurants than the typical sit down style restaurants.

We went to Craving Thai because of the vegetarian options and also their advertised flexibility in customizing. We were not disappointed. There were quite a few vegetarian options and we settled on the vegetable rolls, Pad Thai and a Thai curry dish where we substituted meat with tofu.

The vegetable wraps were delectable. They had tofu, rice, carrots and some other veggies served with a side of peanut sauce. Very tasty.

The Pad Thai was good though different from the Pad Thai I typically find at Thai restaurants. Their noodles were much smaller potions and not the typical flat, rice Pad Thai noodles. Their sauce was very bland. Pad Thai comes with a strong sauce liberally smothering the noodles. They had some veggies and a side of peanut crumbles. They also did not provide for the side of sauces that typically come with the dish. Then again this is a food truck and perhaps unfair to compare them with the typical restaurant cuisine.

The taste was good though. It was dry but I finished the dish with some appreciation of their flavors.

The tofu curry dish was a disappointment. It was essentially peanut sauce and fried tofu with a seasoning of some spices. The combination of tofu, peanut, coconut milk made it very heavy and the taste was average. I would give it no more than a 5/10.

The prices of the dishes are on the higher side. But that is typical of Kauai, considering that it’s a tourist town and expensive to begin with (gas is about a $1 more per gallon than in mainland).

The server was very helpful and accommodating They had all these funny meme like statements around the serving window that was kind of endearing.

Would I go back? Yes, I think it certainly worth a second try.

We eat here regularly and everything is delicious. I especially love that there is a variety of vegetables in the dishes as well as a nice serving of vegetables not just a couple. The thing that they have nailed is it’s very consistent unlike most every other restaurant on the island. I LOOOVE the tapioca but only complaint is I have slowly seen the portion size get smaller and smaller, which is kind of disappointing to pay more and get less food. Please bring back the normal serving size and don’t skimp. That’s all. Otherwise amazing and if you’re thinking of trying this place you should.

If you ever come to Kauai, you should put this food truck on your list. The food was really good, lots of flavor, didn’t have to wait long for the food, the service was excellent, and the staff is so kind. Would definitely come and eat here again!

I got the shrimp pad Thai got it spicy. Cooked perfectly and portion size is perfect. Plenty of parking and easy ordering, they take cash and card. The spring roll is an extra, I got the full order which came with a peanut sauce.
