S&P Kitchen

Hard to find but once you do find it well worth it. We are just looking for something to eat before getting on our plane and came across this place. So much better the phucket thai in waikiki. Street parking only though.

Good Thai Food. yummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummyyummy

My wife and I split an order of the green curry with pork and a sticky rice.
It was not the Thai green curry that we are used to. It was lacking that true «Thai» taste and had no «Thai» spicy goodness. In fact, the curry was a bit bland. The sticky rice was good though.
The restaurant is clean, bright and has a nice ambience. Casual and homey.
S&P Kitchen offers a good value and service was prompt and friendly.
A solid three stars.

«So what’s S&P stand for?» I ask the pretty Ms. that waits on my co-​worker and me. «Are you S or P?»
«Salt and Pepper» she tells me. «For me and my husband.»
Ha ha ha. «As long as you’re not O&W — oil and water.»
…[crickets]…
«Oooh-​kayyy.» She either doesn’t hear me or pretends she doesn’t hear me. I hope she doesn’t «accidentally» kick up the «mild» heat level we’ve ordered to «Thai hot» for my failed attempt at humor.
We ordered Spring rolls (6 pcs. for $ 7.00), drunken noodle w/​shrimp ($ 9.50), green curry w/​chicken ($ 9.00), and 2 bowls of white rice ($ 2.00 per).
Everything was A-​OK. The drunken noodle was especially tasty. S&P certainly doesn’t skimp on the flavoring in this dish. And MSG; judging from the amount of water I had to drink while and after eating it. We needed a little more heat in it and the curry tho’.
Restaurant is neat and clean. Parking is a bit of a challenge. There are 2 dedicated stalls behind the building down a narrow side street or street parking.
«The best Thai food»? No, but it’s a’ight.

Hands down the best Thai food in the island, and I MAY venture to say that this is quite possibly my favorite place to eat on the island… Second to the Proud Peacock, but a very close second.
Nice and quaint and the food is top notch. I attempt to try something new every time I go there and it’s never disappointed me.
Love this place, and it’s totally deserving of 5 stars. I’ve not done that once since arriving a year ago.

Great Thai food but if u like medium spicy I recommend the mild. We’ve been here about three times and this time both curries ordered (red and green) were mild. I like gringo spicy at dinner but prefer to eat fast during lunch, so mild is spicy is just right.

I have eaten here four more times within the span of two weeks because a friend came out here for vacation and we absolutely love this place! I have been pleased with everything I have ordered. My favorite has been the cashew stir fry with chicken. The ginger stir fry and garlic stir fry is delicious as well.
Just keep in mind that their hours are only lunch Monday to Friday now! I wish to they were open for dinner so that I could go more often!

Butterfish & chicken and beans bento for $ 5.00. Like the price. Portion of the butterfish could be more but you get what you pay for.

Ok. I had the fried rice. Seemed a bit moist. Was average at best. Some of the other Thai food looked pretty authentic. Something to check out next time. Biggest gripe is the pretty shady parking.

Absolutely the best Thai food on the island!!! My coworkers and I often drive from the other side of the island to eat here.
This place has the best curry I ever tasted!!! I also recommend waterfall beef salad. I am suprised that food network or some tv show hasn’t featured them yet.
The place also has excellent friendly service from Sally who I think also owns the place.

This is the best Thai food you can get! It is simply amazing! I normally get the drunken noodle but have tried many of their dishes and you can’t go wrong! Please don’t pass this place up, it is too good to miss!

Yum yum yum!!! I had the spring rolls, drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice, fried crispy shrimp and crispy calamari. EVERYTHING was delicious. Everything!!! My kids loved the shrimp and spring rolls and it was a great size for kids. This place closes early (2:00pm) so if your near by it’s a MUST! My girlfriend is a local and lives in Kaneohe and she says this is one of the best places to eat!

Fave dishes: Fried Tofu with the S&P sauce, Papaya salad and the Drunken fried rice. Good quality Thai place that knows spicy. This Mom n Pop place has such wonderful people there.

Come here during lunch, I always get the spicy Tum yum soup best on island. Come hungry big portions.

The best phở on this island! So good you crave and think about it every day! Call to see if it’s available, as it may have sold out, being that it’s fricking amazing and all. My other faves are the stuffed chicken wings, panang curry and spring rolls. Everything is fresh and made with the best quality ingredients. The portions are very generous, you really get your monies worth. They also cater and make awesome bentos. Hours may have changed so I suggest you call first.

How many times have I passed this restaurant? One gabjillion times. Pretty sure. How many times will I pass it now that I know it is there? Not as many, because now I will know to stop in once in a while.
Parking will be an issue here. There is enough room on the street for three or four cars, but I saw no other parking within a block. I was lucky enough to park directly in front, though, and one space or another was available throughout the hour I spent inside.
Which brings me to the next issue. This was not a fast lunch. The restaurant was staffed by only two people. One stayed in the kitchen, and the second worked the entire front of the house, and ran and helped in the kitchen when he could. I entered behind a table of six, and ordered immediately after they did, so was served immediately after they were. One dish at a time. I was happy that I was with someone I like, and that we had time for a nice conversation.
Once we had our food, though, we were very happy. My husband ordered Drunken Noodles with shrimp, and I ordered Long Rice Salad with mixed seafood. Both dishes were ordered with medium heat, and both had a nice, but subtle kick. On a different day I would have added some spice from the jar that was delivered to the table along with our food, but today a calmer spice level was just what I wanted.
I did not see an air conditioner (not that we’ve needed one for the last few weeks!) but there were fans mounted on the walls above the tables. Ours was set to «low» and created a very nice breeze throughout our meal. I believe it would still be pleasant on a much hotter day.
S&P Kitchen won’t be a destination restaurant for me, but it is a place I will visit again. I’ll keep my eyes open for empty parking spots, and will suggest it to others who find themselves in the area.

Great authentic Thai food. Place is clean and plenty of seatings. This is great for a lunch meeting. Location is convenient with street parking. Price is about right. Would definitely come again.

This place was great! The location is close to my work and the food is always amazing! They offer spicy and mild with everything they have on the menu. I would recommend it to anyone that likes Thai food.

Their food here is so so. And their service is lacking. It took forever for them to refill our water and receive our food. Probably won’t be showing up again.

This was a pleasant surprise.
My coworker suggested walking to lunch. There aren’t so many walking places in the neighborhood I work in so I was a little like, «we’re exercising before we eat?» I was wrong, of course. And I couldn’t believe this place was so close and I had never seen it. Literally drive past it every day. I’m glad by walking I finally saw it.
The restaurant is off the middle street exit on School Street. There’s not much parking, hence walking. It’s got a good amount of sit down space and they do take out. It was really cute inside, typical Thai décor.
I had the Yellow Curry Chicken and Spring Rolls. Service was quick and everything I ate was tasty. The servings are also massive! Like big. Good for sharing. I wish I went with a larger group so we could just order family style. There was a lot I wanted to try.
I’m slowly becoming a Thai food lover. And S&P is a good spot to have some that’s cheap, quick and decently priced.
