Outstanding, authentic Thai food served by a very friendly staff in a tiny, tidy and charming dining room. The spicy food is truly spicy (and delicious) and made with fresh local produce. more

I found this place online while researching places to eat for a trip to Hilo. I'm glad I found it - because I NEVER would have found it just walking around town. It's hard to find even when you know where it is, but it's worth finding for lunch. The food was amazing. more

We faithfully return to Naung Mai's with each visit to the BI, Hilo side! Under new ownership (as of February 2008 approx.), this quaint little restaraunt has had some sprucing up....new decor, freshly painted, and a new menu offering more selections. Avg lunch cost per plate is $12.50. Used to be more buffet style (then you were charged per item).... more

Talk about your proverbial "hole in the wall"... This place is small, seats maybe 20 people, max, but talk about fast, clean, great tasting Thai food that won't damage your pocket book. The menu isn't that deep with offerings, but what they do prepare is always good. Large portions to fill you up. Not too spicy, yet full of flavor.... more

Really tasty food - but it was me that found the bugs. Pretty good if you can ignore that, though. more
