Nutcharee's Authentic Thai Food - Kihei, Hawaii

Awesome food! Excellent service! We were there for lunch on a Friday afternoon. It was pretty relaxed and we got seated quickly. We had Pad Thai and Yellow Curry. If you don't like fish or oyster sauce in your Thai food, this restaurant has marked dishes as Vegan Option. Those can be ordered without those. Very flavorful. Medium Spicy is American Medium, not Thai Medium. We asked for hot sauce and made these dishes to our liking. Large portions, excellent service, great food! Will be back again!

One of the best meals we had on the island, and easily the best Thai food we've ever had. We loved the yellow curry, pad see ew and the sampler appetizer. Their e-san sausage is amazing! We'll definitely be back next time we're in Maui.

I found my new favorite Thai restaurant in Maui. Not sure why I’ve not tried this place before. Went here two days in a row and the food each time was great. Not sweet or salty like other places. There’s 4 different levels of spice you can get, so that was nice. But they should have a super spicy level!

The wait staff is nice but the hostess could have been more personable. She wasn’t rude but a little friendlier would have been nice. I understand it can get busy but being friendly helps.

There is plenty of seating here, so not sure why there is a wait. Maybe to ensure the cooks can handle the orders in a decent amount of time? Since it’s pretty spacious, we could speak freely without being too loud. So a great place to bring your date!

I’m sure I’ll be coming here for Thai food more than any other place when I’m in Maui.

This is one of the few places on Maui that I really enjoyed. Food is on par or better than Thai you will find in most places on Mainland. The restaurant vibe is great and they have nice paper menus. The pricing is very reasonable for the portion sizes. Also their spicy options are actually spicy so keep that in mind. One unique they had on the menu was Jungle curry which is a non coconut curry which was interesting! Overall if I had only one place to recommend in Maui this would be it!

We ordered several dishes and highly recommend the pumpkin curry fresh catch and the crispy fish with green mango salad. Both were absolutely incredible!! The green curry, pineapple fried rice, and pad thai were also quite tasty. The service here was also great! Our waiter was very friendly and funny.

I finally got to try Nutcharee’s, whose roots started with a food truck in Maui’s east side town of Hana.

ATMOSPHERE:
Located in the Azeka strip mall on the oceanside, they’re tucked away in the corner near their new eatery, Noodles And Rice. There was plenty of low top seating in the clean, simple space.

RESERVATIONS:
Not taken and not really needed.

PARKING:
Plenty of free parking.

MENU:
Beer and wine. Thai apps, salads, soups, rice, noodles, curries and stir fried dishes.

FOOD:
Tom Yum Soup - $17.00
Textbook flavors of sweet, savory and tangy. We opted for chicken as our protein and medium spice level which weighed a 6 on a 10 heat scale. Ingredients were fresh, chunky and plentiful. The bowl can easily feed four.

Pad Kee Mao - $18.00
AKA drunken noodles. I opted for (tender & lean) steak and medium spice. Far from being a pad kee mao connoisseur, I thought it was a tasty, sweet & savory dish that contained my favorite foods of starch, meat and veggies. Like the tom yum soup, the heat level was about a 6 on a 10-scale.

DESSERT:
Ice Cream
The homemade flavor was coconut. Two huge scoops came standard. I didn’t have any but my spouse and our friend reported intense coconut flavor and a tad over-sweetness.

SERVICE:
Excellent, attentive and professional. Food was delivered all at once, fresh & hot in about 10 minutes.

TIP:
10% Yelp check in discount!

OVERALL:
Affordable, tasty dishes and great service. A definite return.

Fresh, made to order, delicious.
I would say the best Thai food we’ve eaten on Maui. I made a request for Masaman Curry w/chicken with no potatoes but substitute w/onions or green beans, both were generously added along with more than a small portion of chicken. It was so hot from the stove that I couldn’t eat it for awhile, good and frustrating. I might suggest not using an insulated bowl! But, it caused me to eat slowly and savor every bite.
The only negatives were the air conditioning was very cold and the dishes clanging around was loud and annoying.
Regardless, we will definitely be back!
Service was excellent, plenty of parking.
