    I use to dine at Maui Thai Bistro once/twice a month for lunch but since covid things have changed quite a bit at this establishment. Its usually just one server wearing multiple hats, drinks take forever or completely forgotten, food comes out all at once rather than pupus first & lunch to follow. Not been a fan with this set-up but food is sure tasty. Guess I’ll return in 4-6 month. I live here & dine out for lunch 3-4x a week. Cafe o’Lei upstairs is always consistent and staff are personable & not overwhelmed.

    I was concerned that the place was empty when we arrived but filled up as we were eating. There was a lot to pick from on the menu, especially in the curries. I had the macadamia nut panang curry with chicken. It was excellent. My husband had chicken with cashew and there was enough to bring home for a lunch. I would definitely recommend and return on our next trip.
