Thai Thai

Volcano is the gateway village to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, but trust me if you blink, you'll miss it. We have 2 general stores, 2 gas stations (connected to the general stores) a hardware store, laundromat, post office and 5 places to eat. Considering we have almost 2 million visitors annually this is an underdeveloped village. Not that I am for mass development. I really love the fact that we have no fast food concessions here, but we are sorely in need of more food. Good food. My personal Volcano favorite is Thai Thai. This is the best Thai food I have eaten in Hawaii, and I've probably tried them all. The Tom Ka soup is particulary outstanding. It comes out in a clay pot with a flame underneath and is loaded with freshly picked herbs and ginger, a perfect accompaniment to the coconut broth loaded with your meat or tofu choice, mushrooms, cabbage etc. The waiters at Thai Thai are also outstanding. Friendly, efficient and well dressed, it really makes dining a pleasure here. If you like spicy food, I'll still warn you-this is authentic so you might want to order the heat down a notch from what you are used to. Reservations are recommended....this place is busy!
