“Best shaved ice so far that I have had on the island �. Creamy and smooth.“

“Wow! Loved this! Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service and really delicious food!“

“Visiting the big Island, stopped at this restaurant because the recommendations on line. I must say it was the absolute best dinner we have had in Honolulu and here in the big island. Food is superb, service fabulous. If you like well executed dishes, fresh, exquisite and plated beautifully, this is the place!!!“

“Best restaurant my family visited on our trip to Hawaii! I recommend to everyone“

“Love all their smoothies !!“

“Cute location! Love their dishes! Desserts are also ono! Would eat here as often as I can…“

“SO ONO!!! Everything I've tried so far has been Fantastic 😋“

“Antics ROCKS! Artwork throughout. Scrumptious pizza. My favorites are the slices, which are perfect for solitary diners stopping in for lunch or dinner but unable to take a whole pizza home for later. But they also offer carryout and dine-in for whole pizzas. And birthday-party/graduation/ho'olaulea (celebrations) accommodations. Staff are superb, checking to make sure you're doing okay. And kids adore the games (free, with purchase). Amazing Antics opened DURING the pandemic & has succeeded so well! One of my favorite places to eat, especially because slices are quick & fit within my limited budget. Well-done, Antics ownership, staff, leaders and lenders! 💚“

“Best Kalua Nachos ~ Friendly customer service ~ Tasty food“

“This place is an absolute gem. We stumbled in with two hangry kids after figuring out that the place we intended to go wasn’t going to work. What a win! The food was fabulous, prices were unexpectedly reasonable, but best of all, the two gentlemen working there were so kind, completely chill, and made it a great experience for adults and keiki. We’ve been traveling in the islands for about a week, and this place is our favorite find. 10/10. Highly recommend.“

“Mahalo nui au i nā wāhine o ka Papa'a Palaoa Bakery ma Hilo, Hawai'i. They assisted me in providing a whole lilikoi pie to bring home to San Francisco. They fully wrapped the box in plastic to keep the pie protected, so I could then place it in an insulated bag and surround the box with frozen ice packs. The pie (as well as a cinnamon roll) made it back home just as "hou" (fresh) as when I purchased it, me ka pilikia ole (with no problems), and the pie tastes 'ono loa. I am very grateful for their assistance, and especially their kindness. I highly recommend this bakery to everyone who wants fresh baked goods, but most of all, I am very grateful to the Aloha given by their employees. Mahalo nui loa!!“

“Great vibe, great variety!“

“ピーナッツバター入りのアサイボウルが美味しい“

“Matcha made in heaven! So enjoying the newly expanded beverage menu. Love love love.“

“Their food is amazing!Great price and great portions! Definitely the best!!!“

“i’ve been coming here for years! I love how many vegan options there are. I’ve tried many noodle and curry dishes here and they are all delicious! Love the summers rolls and pad see ew, as well as the huge thai coffee/twea. They have vegan mango/coconut and pineapple/coconut creamy drinks, too. Sticky rice is a big portion and not too sweet. The food is always done quickly and their portion sizes are good! I like that you can order on Doordash and accumulate rewards. The only negative I’ll mention is that my order has been messed up twice (but again, that’s over the course of a lot of orders!). One time a few years ago there was pork instead of tofu in my meal. Nothing like that had ever happened again but it was disturbing. New seating area inside the restaurant is great!“

“This place was recommended to us by a local so we popped in after a day at the beach. The cashier was super friendly and helpful in choosing flavors and I ended up going with Ube cream, Lilikoi, and Melona. Everything was super delicious, including the ice cream and float which others in the group got.“

“Absolutely the most delicious Mochi and other Japanese confections. These ladies have been a mainstay in Hilo and whenever we are in Hawaii, (even Kona) we will make the drive to Hilo just for their desserts.“

“I have there 4 times and never disappointed. I’ve tried different dishes and they are the best Thai food. The chef even came to my table and asked if my dish was to my satisfaction as they made a special sauce as I was a vegan.“

“Great selection of fresh fruit, juices and muffins.“

“Great people! And amazing poke n sides!! Mouthwatering 🤤“

“The man who worked here when we came in in mid November was the epitome of aloha. So kind and welcoming. We had never been before and took his time to explain the menu and make suggestions. For parents travelling with three kids you feel like a burden on a small restaurant like this but again, he was so welcoming to all of us. The Miso garlic katsu was our favorite! So so good. The lamb was also super yummy. Chicken katsu was good, just not as good as the other two.“

“As a picky eater, I came here skeptical. Ordered the mahi-mahi fish & chips with garlic and dill aioli and was impressed! Sooo happy about the freshness of the fish, crisp of the fries, and flavour of the sauce. Service can be a little slow but all good vibes.“

“The staff is incredible. Sebastian’s tikka masala soup was soooo delicious. We definitely made the right choice.“

“I love all there different goodies and a good selection as well. They just opened at their new location and it’s now very easy and convenient to satisfy your sweet tooth😉“

“5 stars. Amazing food, great service, and unforgettable taste that keeps you coming back. Mahalo Tabaraka!“

“Good food.. perfect noodle soup..“

“This is the best sushi I have ever had in my life. The staff was so nice. they recommended me squid to try which i never had before, but it was awesome. Atmosphere is so nice because you get to go out and joy the fresh air. If you are in Hilo, I recommend stopping here.“

“Awesome Service Always No Other Place To Take Your Ohana Then Ihop Hilo“

“Very good food. Well sized portions too.

There were some Japanese food options that are less common than what we always see in the menus.

I also think it is great option for groups with different tastes, because they have Korean, Japanese, local dishes and American cuisine. They also have a kids menu.“

“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. Sascha is one of the best around, cocktails were, again, among the best that I found on the island, including Kona. Service was top notch, no matter how busy he got, and he took extra time to modify one of the house cocktails so that an elderly gal with sensitive teeth sitting nearby could enjoy it. I would honestly make the drive from Waikoloa just for this, but Hilo has plenty of outdoor activities to offer as well.“

“We had delicious summer rolls with avocado and fresh veggies with yummy peanut sauce. We also had a fresh basil and eggplant stir fry with tofu and veggies. All food was fresh and scrumptious! Cute restaurant with Hawaiian vibe music. Went to a different Thai place two days ago that did not come close to the quality I experienced here. Thank you!“

“Ordered to go twice while staying in Hilo. Incredible food prepared quickly! They are open later than many other places making it very convenient after a day of exploring. The portions are generous and everything is fresh. So so good!!!“

“They only have a few vegan options. I got the veggie sandwich and substituted vegan mayo. It is pretty simple, but it is done very well. I thought it was delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and are happy to give recommendations for other places to visit.“

“This place is amazing! The buns are fresh and handmade, the burgers are made from extremely good meat, and the on tap beer selection is vast. If it's a nice day, don't miss out on the outside seating. The place has a lot of character but everything is well cleaned and maintained.“

“soft serve is a huge serve… so good! love to get a dole whip and eat it to refresh during a warm Saturday morning in Hilo. i used to really love their açaí bowls with PB, too! prices have gotten out of hand for their smoothie bowls so i haven’t had one in years. pineapple bowl for the açaí is so fun to try, and big enough to share“

“Love it Cafe 100 having my usual Loco Moco sloppy & Sunnyside eggs and even if didn’t have Mac salad this morning, I will always return especially for the Chicken Hekka and daily specials #hukaonorono“

“Lovely, random, find with pretty ok outside seating and really sweet wait-staff and mgmt.

Food was ok, prices a bit high even for the Island and the juice prices... Yeah that's where ya lost me.
7.50 for a 16oz bottle of lemonade with spirulina... Too damn high.
Otherwise, cute spot.
Pretty popular outdoor mini mall just outside the Waiākea neighborhood.“

“The food is always excellent - the ceviche is amazing! Reservations are a must - staff is friendly and knowledgeable.“

“I had an amazing Iced Caramel Macchiato there! It was delicious & the vibe in the café was super chill. Nice art a well. 💜“

“Don’t do the hot hot dish it’s beyond what one would consider indie or Thai hot it’s super spicy . In the Mainland Thai hot Indie hot you can still enjoy taste of food . It’s my only suggestion . Would go back great authentic ambience beautiful authentic service good food .“

“On June 16, 2021, my mom, husband, and I decided to treat ourselves to dinner at Izakaya Miyo after a long, stressful year. It's a prix fixe menu ($99 per person at the time). I highly recommend this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion or just to treat yourself. Chef Louis Pauole is very warm and friendly and explains each dish to you. This is not just a meal, but it is a memorable experience for the senses. Every dish is both beautiful and delicious! Standing ovation!“

“Food comes out on a little service train. We had a larger party and split between 2 tables. Prices were reasonable. Plates are small with reasonable portions. Food was tasty and well done. Other options are available aside from sushi such as eggs, chicken and beef. There was a selection of things unavailable when we went but it could've been timing for us. Service was kind. Restrooms were clean.“
