When you're driving down hwy 11 from Kailua Kona towards South Point it can be tough to find a place for a decent meal. This food truck is a godsend. Right around the Honaunau area look out for signs announcing a food truck coming up. Run by a very friendly husband and wife team (she's originally from Thailand) this place serves up good Thai food as well as interesting takes on traditional comfort food. They have a couple of tables set up so you can enjoy lunch by the roadside under a macadamia tree. Different takes on Loco Moco... all very good... yes, we tried them all. Very cool place.

Although this great new restaurant is in Captain Cook the Strip Mall is actually called the Kealakekua Ranch Center. It is located below the grocery store Choice Mart .

I can't believe I haven't left a review for Junjiras yet. We eat here quite often, and we enjoy everything about it.The owners are really nice, and everyone is always super friendly when you go in.It is a small walk in place you go to order and take the food out. You can take it outside, where there are chairs to eat- or you can take it home.We love close, so always take it home.The food is always made to order, so please don't go as expect to be in and out in 5 minutes. An order of 2 dishes will take about 10-15 min.I like to call in my order and pick it up.Everything we have eaten here has been good, there's nothing I can say to stay away from.It seems Thai is the new sushi in Kona, as there are no less than a dozen Thai restaurants here. Some are good, some not as much. Junjira is up there, and even better because it's only a 3 minute drive from home. We are lucky to have such a good place up mauka, and not be forced to drive all the way to town for good Thai food.

A restaurant with noodle house in its name in Hawaii should do good saimin - right? Well, TK's doesn't! The broth is thin and flavorless. The meat - chicken and pork - was apparently dumped in water and boiled; it comes in flavorless lumps too big to eat in one mouthful. The greens are cut so big that it's impossible to eat them without making a mess.My husband wisely chose the poke bowl, which he liked.The service was slow. We had to ask for water twice.The ladies room wasn't terribly clean.Give this place a miss!

We eat Thai food in MN about once a month at various restaurants. Thai food is always super flavorful and delicious. This place was the exact opposite, extremely bland and super watery. It was seriously the worst "Thai" food I have ever had. Only positive was the server was friendly. Don't waste your money.
