We arrived at the restaurant which is quite small and it was full. We were told that it would be a short wait. It looked like they weren't licenced for alcohol but the waiter said we could bring our own. We went down the street to a convenience store and got a cold bottle of white. When we got back,... More

This lady here uses fresh ingredient in the dishes. I think this is the best thai place in Hilo for thai. I usally don't like all the thai spices but my chicken dish was good.

We enjoy Thai food and try it where ever we travel. While staying in Hilo we were looking for a nice Thai restaurant to try, and were so happy we found Sombat's. The fresh spring rolls with shrimp were cool and crisp and served with a slightly tangy dipping sauce that was really good. We tried the panang curry with... More

Best Thai ever! Must try the spicy rice served in a pineapple, they make it to order, so if you don't want the spice, no problem. Everything we ordered was fantastic. My husband said he's never seen me eat so much! Easy to find in a little strip mall next to Ken's pancakes. These people were so gracious, they set... More

We really liked Sombat's Fresh Thai Cuisine. It's a small place and you may have to wait to get in but it's well worth it. The food was delicious. Three of us spilt the summer rolls with tofu, a green papaya salad, Pad Thai and a wonderful, green curry with fish. They use really fresh, local ingredients and they grow... More

We had the Kang Ka-Ree(yellow curry), Kang Kiew Warn(green curry) and Pad Thai noodles. All were very flavorful with the right amount of heat.

I always have the Thai iced... More

I thought the prices were a little high until the food came and I had enough for 2 meals. This place lacks a little charm and service but makes up for it with the food. Ordered from the menu instead of the steam table and it was worth the wait.

I have been craving good Thai food on the island. My favorite dish is Pad Lard Nah and this was absolutely delicious, it comes very close to many mainland dishes I tasted except the gravy was a bit too runny and noodles were hard to scoop. But I'll be back for more. We also tried the Sweet Sour Chicken, Kang... More

We were staying in Hilo for a few days and the hosts at our B&B recommended this place. I am so happy we decided to try it, it was the best meal of my trip! The staff was attentive, the food was plentiful, flavorful, and spicy. Perfect! I cant wait to go back to Hilo so we can eat there... More
