Before Keo's was the fancy, multi-location, celebrity-favored Thai dining destination that it is today, there was Mekong. This humble-looking hole-in-the-wall in the middle of busy mid-town Honolulu serves almost the same super-tasty, sometimes firey Thai cuisine that its more upscale cousins do -- but at a very nice price. Friendly service is a given at Mekong, and the dishes are consistently fresh and well-prepared. The Evil Jungle Prince curry is a signature dish that's not to be missed -- spicy, coconut-y and just bursting with fresh flavors, make sure to order the sticky rice with it, so you can enjoy every drop of this yummy dish.
Pros: consistently fresh and tasty thai food, from the folks who own Keo's
Cons: street parking can be a pain, low-key decor
