“Best take out sushi in Hilo hands down ! Place looks unassuming but this is the only place I'll order sushi from . I haven't had a chance to try other items but I've tried their poke and hamachi and ahi sushi rolls . Fresh fish and good quality and reasonably priced . This is honestly better than the other "reserve a table a year in advance" places . In my opinion .“
“We ordered the fried wings and thighs, and the yakitori bowl. The wait time is a bit long but it's because they fry them fresh. Everything was super delicious from the light batters to the fluffy rice, and the amazing sauces. Mmmm, now that's finger licking good!“
“found this small hole in the wall place on our recent visit to Hilo. wow what a hidden gem of a place! great food and portions for a great price. cash only so keep that in mind. we had the chicken katsu curry special, pork curry with menchi katsu combo plate and kansai style okonomiyaki. no sit down tables at this restaurant so we decided to stop at Lili'uokalani Gardens for a family picnic and relax under a tree by the Waihonu pond. what a perfect place for lunch!“
“This restaurant was so good that I decided to start writing Google Reviews - the world needs to know how great this place is. We stayed in Hilo for 5 days and ate here twice. Every single thing we ate was excellent. Our most well-traveled group member decreed this as the best Thai food he’s ever had in America. The curry was spectacular - especially the green curry, the masaman curry, and the red pineapple curry. We also enjoyed the pad Thai, coconut soup, green papaya salad, spring rolls, Thai tea, and mango sticky rice. You really can’t go wrong!Ohi and Lotus were so kind; they even gave us recommendations for local activities as we were waiting for our food. It sounds like they grow most of their vegetables or buy them at local farmer’s markets. Everything tasted so fresh! If you like Thai food, you will love this place.Vegetarian options: Tofu as an option for most dishes“
“Always a great meal here. Not really a place to relax at or eat in, but order and bring to the park or home. Awesome sushi, always delicious, not an extensive menu but just enough to enjoy. Tip: order early as they will close early if they run out! Strictly a lunch time only place, closes early at 3 pm.“
“Ohhh my goodness! Sakura restaurant is absolutely the BEST for local kine Japanese food! Their sushi bar with on any given day has original, one of a kind sushi made fresh in front of you are scrumptious. The chef takes different, yet delicious ingredients, rolls them up and the ever efficient serving staff deliver them to your table (or you can sit at the sushi bar and watch!) for you to enjoy. You will never need to wait for a server to bring whatever it is you may want. They are extremely attentive. Prices are very reasonable and make reservations!“
“I haven’t been here in years and the food is still great. I’ve always ordered the cone sushi, Musubi, and tempura shrimp. They have lots of other popular options and usually have a line (food is deliciously consistent in flavor). Get there early before they sell out on the popular items.“
“Feels like a diner but it’s 100% Japanese. Lucky for us there wasn’t a table at Pinapple’s down the block. Instead, we stumbled upon this gem in Hilo. Difficult to decide because everything sounded so delicious. We got the ahi carpaccio, spicy ahi rolls, spicy cucumber, and tan tan noodles. Service was so friendly and welcoming. Everything delicious! Noodles were just the right consistency of chewiness and firmness. Wish I had another stomach. I would have ordered the rest of the menu.“
“Awesome drive in walk up window service style food. The best French fries around and tasty burgers. They have local favorites as well including breakfast. Outside dining only or food to go. Popular with the early morning blue collar workers and always seems busy for breakfast and lunch. We went before the lunch crowd showed up so service was pretty quick. It was a little more expensive than I would have expected. Two burgers, 2 fries, and 2 sodas was around $35. However, I will definitely be back and look forward to trying their Loco moco next time.“
“The best butterfish on the island! So ono! Fresh, flaky, buttery and moist! The first time we came here, we had to come back the next night . Now it's a must when in Hilo. Service is nice and feels like you're at your aunties or uncles house. I also like the Korean chicken salad, soloing streak, and galbi. Everything is fresh and flavorful, plenty of parking in the back.“
“Very nice view of the water. Our waitress Sam was very good, making sure that we were taking care of and explained the menu items very well. The Ono and scallops are outstanding. The wasabi cream sauce was unlike any other I’ve ever tasted. Save room for dessert, and or after dinner drink because they are top-notch. Thank “
“Great variety of food, hot and ready no wait. Our go to stop for breakfast and a bento for lunch on a work day. Portions are good, price is reasonable. If your from Oahu and like Marian's fish tempura, Hiro's is better. If you need catering pans, this is our go to place. chicken katsu, fish tempura and nori chicken. You need small to large bentos for your kids sports teams, this is the place to go.“
“The best poke I have had on big island so far (IMO - much better and cheaper than Da Poke Shack in Kona). Had the Everyday Joe bowl and it was delicious! All the elements in the bowl went together perfectly. This is strictly takeout but there is one bench you can snag if lucky. Staff were also super nice. Will definitely revisit this place before I leave!“
