Spicy lunch - Edit
With limited choices this was very tasty!!
Read moreI had the pad Thai and hubby ordered the Thai Thai curry. Both had great spice, had my nose running:) The restaurant was extremely clean and the staff was very nice. A little pricy, but considering how hard it is to get fresh food to this location. Happy it was so good!!
Pros: Clean & friendly, Great choices, Very tasty
Cons: Price was high:(

Good Option for the area - Edit
At our last visit we did not receive a menu that clearly marked the vegan options, but staff were very knowledgeable and didn’t hesitate to tell us which items could be made vegan. We ordered Thai style tofu fried rice and the Thai Thai special curry. The fried rice had a very subtle flavor to it for those looking for less spice. The Thai Thai Special curry was excellent and I’d highly recommend it. Only downside is they are incredibly pricey, but that’s pretty standard for the area. I did share the fried rice with my sister and we were both full after the meal, but I wouldn’t recommend sharing if you enjoy larger portion sizes. It was a pleasant sit-down restaurant with lots of spots to sit.

Good good! - Edit
Quick service and clearly marked vegan options. They have quite a few vegan options and we split the summer rolls and yellow curry. It's nice too because they don't use fish or oyster sauce for their curries. Good warm meal for a rainy evening. :)

So satisfying! - Edit
Really good variety of vegan friendly options that are clearly marked. They don’t use oyster or fish sauce unless specified. Got the summer rolls, which were really tasty and fresh. The mint was a nice touch. Also got the vegan curry, which was some of the best thai curry I’ve had. Really good portion size even though it’s kind of spendy. Worth a stop in after exploring the park.

Vegetarian/vegan options clearly marked. I got the yellow curry, level 5 spicy and it was pretty good. Other travelers got noodle dishes and they were OK.

Clearly labeled vegan options - Edit
We were very happy our food here! The vegan entree options were clearly labeled. Our waitress was very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our dishes were vegan, especially our appetizer that did not have a vegan label. The summer spring rolls, yellow curry, and tom kha were so good!! The portion sizes were generous as well. The non-vegan members of our group also really enjoyed their meal.

Updated menu makes vegan options clear - Edit
Reading through prior reviews, I can see that there has been confusion in the past about what is and isn't vegan at Thai Thai Restaurant. Thankfully, this problem has been solved! The vegan soup and curry options are now clearly marked -- there are one of each. For soup, the Tom Kha is vegan, and for curries, the Yellow Curry is vegan. Both delicious, and sharing these two dishes was plenty of food for two people. I would recommend going on the early side, given that things can get busy. We arrived around 5:30 and were immediately seated, and our food came out very quickly. Given the extremely limited options for vegan dinner in Volcano, this is definitely my top choice!

Fish sauce deniers - Edit
We made it very clear that we were vegan. They steered us away from the curries, which all contain shrimp paste. They suggested any of the stir fries could be made without fish sauce, so we ordered our default: Pad Kee mow ($17).
Read moreOne bite and it was clearly doused in fish flavor. Told the waiter and were told, “oh no, there’s no fish sauce.” Decided that was it. We’d make due with the appetizer: salad wraps, which were quite tasty, but in no way sufficient for a meal.
Be careful. There are very few options in Volcano one the sun goes down for omnivores and vegans alike.

Nice place in a town with few options - Edit
Quite a few noodle dishes available with tofu, plus spring rolls. I got the tofu pad Thai which was flavorful and a good size portion (just be sure to ask for no egg). Staff was nice, understood vegan, and beer was reasonably priced as well. Great meal after a day of hiking.

Good thai food - Edit
Good Thai food at a convenient location if you are staying in Volcano.
Read moreThey don't use fish sauce in any of their dishes, but I didn't ask about shrimp paste (as mentioned in another review). The food was good and service was quick and attentive. The papaya salad was almost as good as in Thailand
Cons: Expensive, probably due to the location

Excellent service and food ok - Edit
We went here with a friend who lives in the area. The staff is friendly and the place clean. The food tasted ok. We ordered the phad se ew which is my favorite. It was on special but what we got nowhere resembled the dish. Instead it was wide noodles in a ginger sauce. No black bean sauce to be found. The phad Thai was better and the spring rolls very good. The staff was very accommodating of my friends special order f a dish the no longer offer and I heard the staff offer to make a special dish for another customer.
Read morePros: Excellent service, Clean , Ok with special requests
Cons: Food may not be what you are used to , Hot tea tastes strange. , No black bean sauce in phad se ew

Very disappointing! Vegan equals bland. - Edit
My husband and I have eaten here several times over the years, whenever we're in Volcano. In the past, we've loved the food. This time, we asked the server if any curries could be made vegan and were told that all the curries use a base which contains shrimp paste. We ended up ordering a stir fry dish and pad kee mao noodles, both requested medium spicy, as well as Tom Kha soup, all of which we were told could be made completely vegan. All the food came out together, and the two entrees had exactly the same sautéed vegetables and tofu, except that one contained plain white rice noodles. Neither had any sauce, nor Thai chili, and didn't look like the dishes typically would. We pointed this out to the server, who then told us that, in order to make the dishes vegan, they were unable to add any sauces, which are made using oyster sauce. We were offered soy sauce and Hawaiian chili sauce to add to our plain veggies and noodles and were told "You were the ones who ordered it vegan", as well as "We can't take anything back once you've ordered it"! The Tom Kha soup had plenty of lemongrass, galangal and Kaffir lime leaves, but no chili and no saltiness, so it just tasted sour. I was able to make it taste reasonably as it should by adding the soy sauce and chili paste. To make things worse, the server told us that, if we had eaten at the restaurant before and the food was made differently, she could guarantee that it had NOT been made vegan. So, it appears that the only way to get vegan food here is to accept bland food lacking in the typical Thai flavors, as they don't make an attempt to substitute for non-vegan ingredients.

Wow, fantastic Thai food - Edit
Took a group of us here for dinner after receiving an email directly from management that they had lots of options and coulee make any changes needed to accommodate as well.
Read moreNot only was it one of the best servings of yellow curry I have ever had, but the sticky rice for the wife, best phad thai of my sister's life, and something called Thai Thai Curry that put a friend of mine in a food coma.
If you're on the island, eat here. All I can say.
Pros: Excellent food, Flexible to dietary needs, Good service
Cons: Not all vegan? About all I can think of.
