Tiki Tiki Thai Cuisine Kahului

Corny name aside, Tiki Tiki Thai Cuisine turned out to be pretty legit! We're regulars at Thailand Cuisine in Maui Mall so it was hard to stray from our favorite. ATMOSPHERE: Located in Dairy Center, there's nothing fancy going on. Parking can be an issue as the mall is heavily occupied. MENU: Thai apps, entrees and desserts. FOOD: Khao Yum Nam - $15.00 Though not stated on the menu description, this dry, curried rice dish was a bit spicy. Pass. Summer Roll - $11.00 I didn't try any as I don't care for summer rolls in general, but the spouse reported it as "good". Yellow Curry (with chicken) - $14.00 I almost mistook this for soup as there was an overabundance of liquid. Creamy, coconutty, delish. Pad Woon Sen (with chicken) - $14.00 Noodles are my weakness and this was a great choice. With subtle savory curry flavors, it had a good protein to veggie to glass noodle ratio. Tom Yum Soup (with chicken) - $16.00 My spouse and I are on the fence with this version. Compared to the recipe we're used to at Thailand Cuisine, this one tasted like it had little to no cream in it, still very aromatic due to the spices but was a tad overly salty. Thai Style Spicy Basil (with chicken) - $23.00 Hands down our favorite dish of them all. The ground chicken could've passed for ground pork! This dish reminded me of a goulash minus the macaroni and tomato sauce. Highly recommended. Crispy Spring Roll - $12.00 The only disappointment of the bunch as it came with just seven tiny cut up pieces of spring roll for the price. Good texture and flavor but not worth the price. SERVICE: My spouse did takeout (I wasn't there) and said the service was very good. OVERALL: Different flavors than we're used to. Our second favorite Thai restaurant on the rock.

We were driving back from Road to Hana drive after a long day. Food was good but service with just being 1 person taking orders and bringing them to the table, she did an outstanding job in a restaurant full with customers!! and atmosphere was excellent. Brightly decorated with string lights!
