Kona’s secret treasure! Excellent food and quick service! I got the shiso clams with a side of ramen noodles to dump in after the clams were finished. Delicious and generous portions for a good price! If you’re in the area - this place is a must whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or a nice meal with family/friends! Bonus: right next to the water!

Fumi's Kitchen was exactly what this group of four adults, a four-year-old, and a sixteen-month-old needed after a day of traveling from California. Family-style local food, treated like a family cookout, is what we got. We had noodles which the littles giggled and devoured, beef and yakitori sticks (bomb!), miso soup, bbq pork (this was crazy good), and the mac salad (which I took a to-go order to the condo!), and plenty of Kona lagers and fresh guava juice! The staff was so gracious, funny, helpful, and truly appreciated. You need to stop by and experience. TY Fumi's Kitchen 🤙🏽🌈😎

Place use to be better. Food came out undercooked, and parking was a pain to figure out.

This place is AMAZING! Get the jang Jo rim (spicy Korean beef stew). I’m eating my left overs and falling in love with the dish all over again so much that I’m inspired to try and make the dish myself one day. Thank you chefs and for the wonderful hospitality from the staff. Felt the aloha. 🫶

If you find yourself in Kailua-Kona craving a bowl of hot, comforting, slurp-worthy noodles, let me save you the trouble of searching—Fumi’s Kitchen is the spot. It’s the kind of local gem where you walk in, take one deep breath of that rich broth in the air, and immediately know you made the right choice. Let’s talk about the saimen first. The broth is light yet flavorful, packed with that umami goodness that makes you wonder if the chef secretly has a cauldron in the back. The noodles? Springy, chewy, and soaking up all that delicious broth like they were born for this. Add in the classic toppings—green onions, kamaboko (fish cake), char siu—and you’ve got a bowl of Hawaiian perfection. And then there’s the udon. Thick, bouncy udon noodles swimming in a deep, rich broth that somehow feels both hearty and light at the same time. The atmosphere is casual, the service is warm, and the food makes you want to move to the islands permanently.

In a town full of tourist food, Fumi's kitchen is the opposite - healthy, clean, wholesome meals can be found here for the tired tourist and locals alike. I realllllly enjoyed the chicken dish.

Sukiyaki and Yakisoba. It was both great. 40 years in NJ. Finally I could eat real Japanese Yakisoba!! Yakisoba in NJ is nothing like Japanese Yakisoba. Thank you.

We called about a month out for a reservation for 40people and they said no problem. At the restaurant, took our kids orders first then the adults and considering we nearly took over their restaurant, things went very smoothly. Everyone enjoyed the pupus and entrees and the prices were reasonable. The staff was very accommodating and nice. Highly recommend supporting this small business!

Fantastic time.

It takes a long time to wait, probably because the restaurant is crowded, and the food is not delicious, so I think Japanese people should not go there.
