An unexpected gem in tiny Volcano Village on Big Island — authentic, fiery Thai food served from a converted shipping container on Piimauna Drive. The pad thai portions are massive, the spring rolls come with amazing peanut sauce, and the avocado curry is a unique standout that locals rave about. Run by the friendliest Thai ladies who know their way around dietary restrictions.
After a day of hiking Kilauea's lava fields and craters, this is exactly what you need. The hot, fragrant food in the cool misty air of Volcano Village hits differently — plus there's a covered tent with picnic tables right next to the truck so you can stay dry when the weather turns.
