Hawaii's BBQ Deli
111 E Puainako St Unit 570
Hilo, HI 96720

It's a stall in the Puainako Shopping Center. Aside from that I had a good bowl of vegetable saimin there. There is a menu board above the order counter where I placed my order with the attendant. She later brought it to me at my table. The setup is a cozy fast food style table and chair arrangement.

There was a large quantity of al dente vegetables with authentic tasting noodles in a lightly salted broth, not like the instant noodle sodium bombs.

Very satisfying and a repeat.“

“Reading other reviews, I guess I'm either easy or others are picky. We got a TON of food for the price compared to most places these days. It was tasty and enough for 2 meals. It's in a strip mall, so it's not an amazing atmosphere, but whatever. I got bbq chicken, brown rice, and salad.“

“I found my favorite restaurant in Hilo on the Big Island.I recommend the ribs & spice chicken combo. Of the 4 side dishes, I don't recommend the japchae because it's too spicy.Noodles are also good when you're craving hot soup.You can order without tip and eat in the common area or To Go.“

“Great place to stop in and catch a few mix drinks that’ll definitely get you started. Great pub type!“

“It's a type like Panda Express where you choose a main and a side.
All menu items are delicious and full of volume.
This is a casual restaurant with a local Hawaiian atmosphere.
I would like to go again next time.

Parking: You can park about 10 cars in front of the store.“

“What an Experience! Dropped in for a hamburger plate on my way back to Hilo And. The kitchen BoyZ were kicking their Music So loud that two couples got up and left soon after their meals were served. F#@^ F÷@_ B

“Really felt like Chinese food whilst on holidays and found this place. Got their 3 x entrees with a couple of delicious pork and chicken varieties and fried rice for $16. Not only was the food outstanding, the serving size was great and fed me and my me for dinner. Service was great also and the place was clean and tidy. Good was so good in fact that we had it the next night as well!“
