OMG this place is a hidden gem. This is the best lunch I have had in the island so far. The chicken katsu and yakisoba are so delicious. And the price is really 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!

LOVE Tamari's!! Ono Japanese food, one of a couple of good Japanese restaurants in Hilo. Take out only. Cash only. My favs are Bulgogi or teri chicken mini plates but other good options including vegetarian dishes. I go there about once a week and have never been disappointed!

This is a tiny coffee shop but the sandwiches and coffee are the
The best katsu curry I've ever had. Seriously better than we make at home and everything was made right in front of us. We saw some locals from the area that also agreed that the food was absolutely delicious. Definitely would come back and is a must place that is well worth your time and money!

What a gem! Best lunch I had on my trip to the big island. Great value for money; cash only!

Watched as he breaded and pan fried the chicken for my curry katsu. Super fresh. Also put the curry sauce on the side so it would stay crispy until I was ready to eat it since there isn't anywhere to sit inside. CASH ONLY!!! So come prepared because you don't want to miss out on this one.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options.

Best chicken Katsu I’ve had. And the price point is very accessible, about $12 per person. Bring cash!
