Had lunch here 2/3 days that we were in Hilo, everything was amazing. The Misoyaki Butterfish Salad was fresh and extremely flavorful without being heavy, and the fish melts like butter in your mouth. We also had a cold water scallop special, an eggplant /marinara/pesto/ricotta appetizer (forgot what it's called, oops!) and crab cakes. Everything was great, honestly one of the best places I've eaten at on the entire island. I like to sit at the bar, as I'm a former long time bartender....read full review
We had our Christmas get together yesterday Dec.14,2023 Lunch . Me and my other friend order Miso Butterfish. With that price we paid… we supposed to have a quality of food that we deserve! Can hardly find Miso Butterfish~ it’s minced and doesn’t taste like Miso Butterfish at all. And the salad supposed to be crunchy but it’s wilted like came out from the microwave. And the other concern was French fries was overcooked and he didn’t ate it! Really dissapointing!!!
Beat vegetarian rolls I have ever had! Shishito pepper appetizer awsome!
