Portions were tasty and generous and service was attentive. Food hit the spot after a long day of sightseeing on the island.

The portions are large - even with lite-bite. I was surprised by the yummy taste and juicy texture of the pork. Yum. The Korean fried chicken was yummy as well. I had the green salad with my pork - and that salad could have been my meal. BTW - this on our way back to Kona - double plus on location.

Solid food choices and good execution. Our waitress, in a mostly empty restaurant, however, didn't meet minimum attentiveness standards. Unsure if it's a training or motivation thing, but made the meal unenjoyable as a result.

I had pumpkin curry and my husband the chicken katsu. It was one of the best curry I had and he said the katsu was amazing! The portions were large and filling. I would highly recommend

The food was excellent! Large portions at very reasonable prices. Their coconut curry and house dressing were especially good.
Great choice! Tasty food with many wonderful sauces. Fresh and yummy!

I knew I saw a roach.
But they said I imagined it.
Now imagine your finding a new career.

Roach infestation as of Oct 2025
Closed. Open per website and Google directions. But closed. Very closed up no
Their menu looks great, and I’ve heard terrific things about the food. However, this place has very inconsistent hours that are quite different from what they post on their website.
Tonight was my 3rd attempt to visit, but they decided to close an hour early. Maybe it’s just my bad luck, but it seems to be a pattern with them.

Was pleasantly surprised. Not much on looks on the inside, but food was fresh and plenty of it.
The servers knew what they were talking about, the food was absolutely amazing (whole family raving about it), and the produce was so fresh and locally sourced. The fries were delicious and that's coming froma family of Idahoans.

I ordered delivery and the steak came on a bed of lettuce. Let that sink in. Now my lettuce is soggy from a hot steak. Then they did not cut my steak nor give me a strak knife so i had to eat it with my hands. Come on people think! Then to top it off no seasoning whatsoever very bland crap steak never again!

Such great food and a generous portion size! The chicken was amazing, the vegetables fresh and tasty. Can’t wait to come back to Hilo just for this plate.
It did take us a while to be seated. But it was definitely worth it.
