- KKevinVIPCincinnati / Dayton •93 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoKōloa Thai Bistro is was a great find! It’s close to the Poipu beach area where we are staying and located in a two story shopping building on the second floor. Request and inside table if you will be enjoying cocktails and/or wine, as they are not permitted on the outdoor tables. The wine list by the glass is small but it had both a red and white French wine that we enjoyed! The hospitality, promptness, and food was outstanding. We ordered the egg rolls, Pad Thai and a Hawaiian stir fried rice dish with chicken, beef and shrimp. Everything came out piping hot and delicious. If you are looking for a casual place to eat with great food, this is the place!More infoKoloa Thai BistroPrice: Moderate• Thai• Koloa•4.4

Thank you, thank you, thank you Gaylords of the Plantation House restaurant.
