Thai Thai Bistro and Bar

Top choice in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park


Authentically flavored and well portioned if somewhat overpriced (and splitting a plate will cost you a $6 surcharge). The chefs recognize that good Thai food doesn't have to set your tongue on fire – unless you're into that. The rich and peanutty Special Curry is a winner, and the tom yum soup.

It can get crowded; dinner reservations are prudent if the park is busy.
