“Had a late lunch here Sunday afternoon. I must say that I love the atmosphere of the store. We placed our order in the front, with the sweet young lady. They brought our platters out to us— best Mexican food I’ve ever had! We live in CA, and this beat any food I’ve had out here. The salsa is delicious, and flavors were great. Many thanks to Manny’s kitchen for their delicious food. When we come back, we will be visiting frequently!“

Our server was very friendly. I really liked the oxtail- rice is ordered separate, get the large to share!“

Loved it as mucb as the first time!! Love the food and atmosphere!!
Pad thai is sooo goood here! Highly recommend 👌“

“I personally love The Fishhopper. I believe they are the best restaurant in Kona. I adore the staff. The bartenders are top tier! My favorite dish is The Monchong Risotto.. it’s such a treat. Don’t hesitate to go and check them out. Have a drink for meee:)“

“The food is awesome the owner is friendly the view is amazing ❤️“

“My husband got a ninja star roll and said this was some of the best sushi he’s ever had. The wait time said 2 hours when we first walked up, but we only got the 1 roll and only waited maybe 10 minutes, so we were really happy about that.

Definitely a must try when in Kona!“

“Aloha amazing amazing food and service. The clam chowder is a must and Tempura anything- you can't go wrong. Mahalo Chef Ron.“

“Delicious food! Fast service! Astonishing portions! This is a must go to if you're in Kona!“

“We just enjoyed a beautiful sunset while we sipped a Maitai. Followed by a delicious Caprese appetzer and the entrees which included Egg plant parmigiana and Aloha Chicken and Build your own pasta. Our server, Emily, was very attentive and extremely professional. all in all we had an excellent experience hope you try it.“

“Killer pizza! All that needs to be said...“

“We ate here after 12 hours of traveling and could not have been happier. The service was so friendly and outdoor seating with tiki torches and a view of the water was great. My son isn’t always the most adventurous eater but he asked to try the clams from my seafood stew and pronounced that he “loves clams more than pizza”. It was his first time trying it. He had the kid’s grilled cheese with fries, and myself and my friend had the Crabby Patties crab cakes, cocktails, fish n chips and seafood stew. Everuthing came out quickly, hot and fresh. It was just what we needed after airport food all day.“

“Delicious food and friendly staff, the scenery is beautiful too“

“food delish, lunch special for pad thai was awesome!“

“Our second visit this vacation and by far our favorite foods and drinks of all the island. Great staff to top off the experience.“

“Always a good visit to L&L. We really like the keauhou location. The Beef BBQ bowl and Chicken Katsu plate are our go to items. Today I ordered the Loco Moco. It is on point. I add Sriracha. Loco Moco comes with brown gravy. I like mine spicy.
Its a simple self serve dining experience. Well worth it.
Enjoy.“

“We had a Birthday party there. Excellent food. Staff was super friendly and so helpful.“

“We were here after sunrise on Dec 26th . OUR order :
Local Hawaiian Awa
Chicken and butterfish lau lau
Sweet potato in coconut milk appetizer

Awa ( Hawaiian Cava)- was unique, it is made from the root of pepper plant . It is an acquired taste , so very glad we tried it. We drank our bowl.

CHICKEN LAU LAU- the greens , Butterfield combo was great. Kimchi being a good accompaniment. This was a good satisfying bowl of food. Comes with - purple sweet potato, greens butter fish n chicken, 2 balls of rice topped with furikake, kimchi.

Sweet potato in coconut milk- this was a disappointment. We couldn't eat it. The root veggie was bland, the coconut milk was not seasoned. I had eaten something similar to this in a luau with coconut cream and loved it. This dish here was sub par.“

“Our family of 11 dined here on July 28th. We chose this restaurant as it was close to where we would be doing the Manta Ray Swim and where others that were golfing at Kona Country Club were close as well. The food was delicious. I think we had a little of everything at our table. Sweet chili wings, fries, Chicken Teriyaki, Seafood Pasta, Fish Tacos, are just a few of the items our crew enjoyed! Oh, and the Chocolate cake was amazing! Our sever, Cherlynn (I hoped I spelled it right) was absolutely outstanding! While we were at dinner our swim was canceled. We were a little bummed but her attitude, personality, and spirit was just what we needed! She truly has the kindest soul and a great resprentation of Aloha. Thank you for a wonderful experience. The Forbes Family Greenville, NC“

“Wonderful view and food. I recommend trying to get there a little before sunset. There are about a half dozen tables right along the edge of the patio that give an unobstructed view of the bay and sunset. However, of you can't get one of those tables pretty much most of the restaurant has a view of the ocean.“

“Best Asian ribs and sushi ever!“

“So so fun I wish I was there every day and they play Seahawks every Sunday when there’s a game on no matter what even though it’s a 49ers bar they prefer Seahawks lol I love ringing my bell whenever I can there ring them bell Seahawks let’s go“

“Enjoyed the coconut shrimp with a sweet chili sauce and frues. The shrimp was excellent. The sauce had a little kick but not too much. I don't like spicy food. The fries were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. There was a singer pkaying nice music. The service was good. I'll be back!“

“We had a quick lunch. Service was pretty quick and the view of the bay was nice.“

“Would recommend! We did delivery to the Kona Tiki Hotel. It took about an hour for a large custom pizza and macadamia nut pesto bread. The wait was reasonable to us, saved us from trekking out. All in it was about $75 - we did a half & half pizza with 3 different topping on each half - - toppings are $2.50 each (delivery fee and tip included). Our delivery person (“Chang”) was super friendly!“

“6 bucks for 3 delicious tacos! Can't beat that in Hawaii.“
