Owned and operated by the dynamic duo of Kirk Coult and Chef Paula Rungsawang Coult, this destination offers a unique blend of high-quality Thai and Japanese cuisine, elevating the dining experience amidst the serene beauty of Kauai. Bangkok Happy Bowl and Sushi Bar is adding new Bangkok Happy Bowl Burgers and in addition, expansive Asian cuuisines will be announced soon.

Bangkok Happy Bowl and Sushi Bar, originally the flagship restaurant in Aspen, CO, has since flourished with additional locations in Hawaii and Breckenridge, each capturing the essence of fine dining quality within a casual bistro environment.

New at Bangkok Happy Bowl Thai Bistro and Sushi Bar are the Bangkok Happy Bowl Burgers (BHB Burgers) which are now featured on the Garden Lanai and promise to be a delightful complement to the restaurant’s already diverse and delectable offerings. “Sometimes, not everyone in every party, is in the mood for Asian cuisine at a given time,” says Kirk Coult, co-owner. “Therefore, we now offer some of the best fresh Char-broiled burgers on Kauai. With a broad range of traditional American and Asian sauces, there is something to satisfy every burger palate. Complement your burger with wonderful fresh Ke-Bobs, specialty tater tots or loaded fries, and BHB Burgers have transported you in to culinary heaven.”

Beyond their culinary offerings, Bangkok Happy Bowl and Sushi Bar has a deep commitment to supporting the local community. They are especially passionate about music, which they believe brings joy to people’s lives. A highlight of the dining at Bangkok Happy Bowl in Kauai is the immersive island entertainment, featuring live performances seven nights a week (6:30-9pm) and hula dancing several night a week, further enhancing the dining experience with a taste of local culture.

“It’s all about the community that makes the experience. Having a happy, energetic environment combined with good music, dancing and delicious food makes Bangkok Happy Bowl Thai Bistro stand out from the rest,” says Coult. The Kauai location boasts a seasoned chef team and cohesive staff that work to make the restaurant run smoothly and food taste world-class.

In 2020, the restaurant faced unprecedented challenges due to the pandemic, closing its doors for the first 15 months, an experience shared with many. However, what sets Bangkok Happy Bowl apart is their innovative response, as they chose to expand during the pandemic by adding a beautiful garden lanai upon reopening, an accomplishment that distinguishes them as one of the few restaurants on Kauai to do so.
