“The care and attention to fresh local ingredients show. One of the best burgers I have had. The frys were also amazing and the house aioli was so good I wish I could take a bottle home. Ultimate Burger is one of my top recommendations on Hawai'i Island.“

“Ono food guys! Go check out my brother Nephi!“

“Outstanding service and food. I appreciate the staggered reservations for the one-on-one service and recommendations! The food was amazing and I wish I could try the whole menu! Dessert was definitely the best part- the lilikoi mousse- phenom!“

“I was in Hawaii for a few days and I ate at Jackie Rey’s for one of those evenings. The food, atmosphere and staff were spectacular. Not the mention, the food layout was incredible. I highly recommend. Mahalo.“

“Some of the best poke I have had across all islands. Dozens of poke joints over the last decade, this is in the top 5. Best in recent memory.Legit.

Also the highest price I have paid, hands down.

The service is no nonsense and what i have come to expect from joints like this.

Come here for the poke, accept everything else.“

“Krua Thai is the best thai restaurant on the island. Every dish exceptional and tailored to exactly how hot & spicy you like. Never been disappointed here. Reasonable prices, especially at lunch. Good, free, ample parking at the restaurant.“

“Before we had lunch, we went on the brewery tour. Hands did a great job talking about the brewery and he lots of anecdotes to add.

After the tour, we had lunch in the restaurant. I had a frozen Mai Tai that was really good. The pizzas were really good.

If you are in Kona, don’t miss the brewery tour and be sure to tell Hank hello for us.“

“Awesome place Go Pack Go !“

“Located in a strip mall so parking is always super easy. Food is delish, huge portions and menu. Tried a few different dishes and all were great. Definitely recommend the fried Ono and Kalbi! Oriental dressing is good with their house salad, their mac salad has tuna so be aware.“

“This Jamaican food truck next to the gas station was amazing! I ordered the oxtail rice and the jerk plate, and both were absolutely delicious. The food was mildly spicy, the sauces were full of flavor, and everything tasted very authentic. It was my first time trying Jamaican food, and I really loved it. Highly recommend tourists stop by and give it a try!“

“Glenn was a good server. Easy to communicate with.“

“The service, impeccable. The location and atmosphere, absolutely awesome. The food, delicious. We even got a world class sunset. It was our only one on a 12 day trip. The are a few other beaches to see the sun disappear directly into the water, but somehow the stars were aligned.“

“From California visiting and we decided to just walk around and see what sounded good. Saw sushi and decided to stop in. They have a huge menu with Japanese and Chinese food options. I’ve been obsessed with craw fish and seafood boils and was shocked to see crawfish on the menu so I had to order it and let me tell you the spicy crawfish is the best I have ever had. I’ve eaten crawfish from so many different places in the bay to the central California and this place topped them all. Perfect amount of spicy might stop by again for dinner before leaving but def give this place a try the Chinese food is bomb!“

“I cannot say enough about the quality of the food and quantity. I had the pot roast, and oxtail soup. They cut their own ox tails. I must have had 12 oxtail in my soup Chinese style. Excellent service and great Aloha !!! I will be back for the Loco Moco yum. Thank you again 😁🤙🏾“

“We got the seafood pasta!! Throughly enjoyed!!! Would recommend. Our steak was also cooked perfectly! Good portions and the food was nice and hot!“

“The staff are wonderful & their food is incredible.“

“On our last day of vacation on the Big Island, after checking out of our condo, we chose Umekes for lunch while wondering around killing some time before our flight out. Good choice, and wish we would have found it sooner. My wife and I both had the fresh catch fish sandwich, which was Mahi on this day, and was very good. We ate a lot of fish sandwiches over the 17 days we were there, and this was one of the better ones. The Mac salad side was also very good, as was the service. Nice place, with parking, inside or outside seating, and a full bar. I would recommend.“

“Taste great,healthy,large portion. Great job Taylor and your fantastic crew.“

“Absolutely BEST sushi In the world!!!! Everytime we visit Big island we come here! Its definitely worth the 2 hour wait for the sushi. The rolls are big and filling. Very well priced and very worth it. If your nearby definitely give it a try!!“

“Very Good food and of course good customer service and love the owner they are so so so NICE. I recommend them“

“My wife and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary on the Big Island and wanted to experience the best the island had to offer. Ulu Ocean Grille did not disappoint! Here is a summary of our dinner: We thoroughly enjoyed the Ebi Tempura roll - (it was good enough that we have encouraged several family members to join us at Ulu this evening for sushi and dinner) For our entrées we had the Mahi Mahi and the Spicy Crab Noodles. Both were perfectly prepared, very flavorful, and the presentation was perfect. For dessert, we couldn't decide between the chocolate or vanilla (the flavor of the evening) soufflé, so we got one of each (you only celebrate 20 years once!). Again, perfectly prepared and presented and was thoroughly enjoyed. And I can't overstate how excellent the service was. The staff went out of their way to make the experience memorable. It was the best dining experience I have ever had and I don't expect to top it soon, unless they outdo themselves when we return this evening. Ulu & Four Seasons Resort - well done!“

“We ate here after 12 hours of traveling and could not have been happier. The service was so friendly and outdoor seating with tiki torches and a view of the water was great. My son isn’t always the most adventurous eater but he asked to try the clams from my seafood stew and pronounced that he “loves clams more than pizza”. It was his first time trying it. He had the kid’s grilled cheese with fries, and myself and my friend had the Crabby Patties crab cakes, cocktails, fish n chips and seafood stew. Everuthing came out quickly, hot and fresh. It was just what we needed after airport food all day.“

“To visit Fun Factory Inc and have some FUN!“

“Bella made our time at the beach house incredibly special and is the reason I am writing this review –God smiled upon this resort the day she asked for an application. She was like a breath of fresh air; she was so fun, knowledgable about the menu, very attentive and outgoing. She even let my mom in on a few secret recipe tips for the gazpacho which completely made my mom's day!! If we could spend all afternoon there with her we could, we will hope to sit with her again on our next visit, mahalo Bella!!!“

“I was genuinely surprised by the amount and quality of food I got here. I ordered a lunch platter with teriyaki chicken, white rice, and salad. $11 plus tax. There was a really nice generous portion of chicken, and it was tender and well cooked. I'm not saying it was gourmet, but cheap Chinese food this close to the ocean in Hawaii, it was a great deal.“

“An amazing meal!! Definite repeat trip!“

“food delish, lunch special for pad thai was awesome!“

“The food is awesome the owner is friendly the view is amazing ❤️“

“Killer pizza! All that needs to be said...“

“We had breakfast there with pancakes and a variation of Loco Moco. The pancake came with maple syrup, butter cream and one topping plus you can mix match them. I did blueberry and Mac nut and it was delicious.
The Loco Moco was also very good, be prepared to get the agony of choice when you want to try this, because the menue is filled with many variations 🤤
The service was friendly and super fast.“

“Our second visit this vacation and by far our favorite foods and drinks of all the island. Great staff to top off the experience.“

“We just enjoyed a beautiful sunset while we sipped a Maitai. Followed by a delicious Caprese appetzer and the entrees which included Egg plant parmigiana and Aloha Chicken and Build your own pasta. Our server, Emily, was very attentive and extremely professional. all in all we had an excellent experience hope you try it.“

“They are quick. Customer service is decent. The mochiko chicken is not consistent with the taste, they have a yucky after taste some days but it is still a good plate when there isn't. Just like all the other L&Ls the portion sizes are too much. Wish they did half orders.“

“Super sick little Kava place. The whole vibe is like nothing in my town back home. I had a kalua pork plate and guzzled some coconut water and felt completely rejuvenated. The vibe is straight out of a movie. If you wanna post up at a chill spot come here. That pork broke tha mouth for sure homie 🙏🏼“

“The fastest service ever we had our food in 10 minutes after ordering!! After a day of snorkeling it hit the spot!!!“

“Small place; don't let the overall look of the restaurant deter you. It was very clean and the food was exceptional!!! They do have gluten free options (I got a meal similar to taco bell's chicken bowl). Pricing was very cheap compared to most places and the food was soooo good and filling.“

“So so fun I wish I was there every day and they play Seahawks every Sunday when there’s a game on no matter what even though it’s a 49ers bar they prefer Seahawks lol I love ringing my bell whenever I can there ring them bell Seahawks let’s go“

“I loved the variety of tortillas, from flour, to spinach. I tried the roasted chicken it was delicious. perfect name, they were killer. the workers were so nice, they gave me advice where to go locally for the most fun and foods. Thank you killer tacos.“

“Generous portions, tasty but what we tried (loco moco and chicken katsu salad) was okay. The salad dressing was a great sesame seed, but it was a very simple salad, bit of cucumber, purple potato, tomato, lots of romain lettuce nothing else other than the chicken.“

“We had a Birthday party there. Excellent food. Staff was super friendly and so helpful.“
