“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!!“

“Love all their smoothies !!“

“ピーナッツバター入りのアサイボウルが美味しい“

“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.“

“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 food in all the Hawaiian islands. We ate here for my birthday earlier this year and it was so bomb!!!! The Papaya salad, Mango sticky rice, Pad Thai, Tom Kha and the Pineapple curry were elite! The drinks were also so refreshing. We wanna go back to Hilo just so we can eat here once again.
The family/staff were so kind. Thank you for making such a big impression on my family and I.“

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

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

“Great vibe, great variety!“

“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 🤤“

“Nicest Aunty ever, biggest plate of the best crispy juicy katsu don, definitely get the garlic rice with it, so much flavor… and the green salad was beautiful and fresh with sprouts and homemade dressing as well! Treated me just like family“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Good food.. perfect noodle soup..“

“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.“

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

“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😉“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Only Thai place I'll go to in Hilo, it's always guaranteed that the food will be delicious (my favorite is the pumpkin curry!), fresh, and flavorful. Sometimes they will be closed due to visiting Thailand and that's always a bummer but the wait is sooo worth it!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“
