Our meals out on this trip to Hawaii were usually lunches. At Sombat’s we ordered our usual Thai food staples — spring rolls, green curry w/ chicken, pad thai w/ chicken. Spring rolls were hot out of the fryer and not greasy in the least. That’s a pineapple mac nut dipping sauce (c’mon, it’s Hawai’i!)
(What no lime with the pad thai?)
The green curry had a lovely thick coconut sauce (no reduced fat coconut milk here, I tell ya), with zucchini and a lot of eggplant (I’m not a fan of the eggplant). The pad thai had more sauce than I was used to, but it made it extra tasty the next day for breakfast. Service was super quick. Bonus points for giving us extra rice with our to-go box.
