6 Best Asian Restaurants near Captain Cook

“This is my favorite Thai place in Captain Cook, my neighborhood, and is better than any in Kailua-Kona except Thai Rin. The vegatables are fresh and always crispy in every dish I've had. Prices are good. Photo shown is half of an order of Kee Mow rice noodle with vegetables. I was so hungry I forgot to take the picture:) For addinng shrimp at $2, I got 5 shrimps. I am always pleased with her (the owner's) cooking. My other favorite is Tom Kar soup. The coconut cream she uses is very rich and creamy. It is a take-out place wtih some tables outside in the courtyard of Kealakekua Ranch Center.“

“Best Chinese Restaurant on entire Big Island! And I'm Chinese American from NYC! I don't do Buffet because it's not fresh, might cost less but full of MSG. I recommend ordering fresh cooked, directly from Kitchen. Specify your dietary peculiarities. For ex. I have Diabeties Melitus 2 thus I ask for less sugar, and no Monosodium Glutomate which causes me to feel ill. When you specify, and dining there, the staff and Proprietors appreciate generous amount of Tips! Thank you!“

“We ordered 5 specialty rolls for takeout and really enjoyed them all. The ingredients tasted super fresh, service was quick and friendly. We’re really looking forward to going back to try more rolls. It’s a huge plus that they’re open all day as most other sushi spots in the area close between lunch and dinner service- it was great being able to pick up at 5pm. Thanks Taka!!“

“Amazing local place with great Japanese food.Highly suggested. The sashimi is as fresh as can be.They have some parking out front, but it fills up fast.They do not take reservations, so I suggest coming early. They have a bench out front to wait at.If you are in the area it is a must go for excellent food.“

“We joined friends for dinner here last night. We all really enjoyed the eggplant appetizer. I had the fresh catch with the lemon caper sauce. The mahi was prepared just right. They know how to do fish! There were too many good choices for dessert. We ended up splitting the mango cobbler with lilikoi sauce. It was excellent. The service was great! Our server was very patient with us-accomodating us with a table change (it was chilly last night) and gave one of our party extra veggies and re-running the bill for him when there was a small upcharge for using a charge card. There was some nice music which wasn't too loud which we appreciated. We will definately be back-so nice that Kona is getting some good restaurants that don't charge an arm and a leg. The was that the lilikoi martini which was gorgeous to look at could have used a little more kick and be a little less sweet.“

“Couldn't love this place more. Cute little spot with very good service and a menu with lots of options. I had the Shiso Clams served with toast points $22 and my honey had the teriyaki ribeye $40 and added a lobster tail for $12..... both were delicious and we would order again. This is a reasonably priced restaurant in a sea of expensive Hawaiian restaurants..... check it out!“
