1. Charley's Thai Cuisine

this is a awesome family owned restaurant that serves up great quality thai food. the portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the food is the better than the thai food I've had in thailand.

My family and I just got back from eating here. Sorry, but this is not Thai food. We ordered the typical fare . . . pad thai, pad see yew, steamed rice. Instead we got "pad thai" that looked like it was doused with ketchup, "pad see yew" which was rather soupy and definitely not pan-fried wide noodles, and steamed rice which looked and tasted like it was a day old. How can you mess up rice? We paid too much money for food that we couldn't even finish. This was very disappointing especially since this is our first trip to the Big Island.

A fabulous Thai restaurant at decent prices. Exquisite flavors. Dried Curry & Chicken Satay are a must.
