“I was recommended this place as an O’ahu local from one of my friends. Not only was the food amazing, probably the best fries I’ve had in a LONG TIME! The service was so incredibly kind. My young daughter dropped her BLT on the floor and asked the staff if she could have a replacement. They were so kind and made one right away for her!

My burger was perfectly cooked, paired deliciously with the sauce and toppings. I was very very impressed with the quality of food and also in awe of the staff!“

“Love the food We are making this our favorite food spot. The BOYB was great“

“Absolutely love this place wonderful Aloha vibes! Live music is also great. 😊“

“This is the only place open after 10pm for miles and it was packed. indoor seating only- 2 AC units inside but i think it was broken(it was warm inside) Our food took a while to come out but it was hot and tasty. Our server was very friendly. I really liked the oxtail- rice is ordered separate, get the large to share!“

“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.“

“Great food truck. Options are different from other standard food. Flavors are great. Portion are large. I got the 3 sliders and it was delicious. Not too spicy but lots of flavor. And also well balanced : meat, veggies and cabs. Will come again.“

“Located in a non-descript spot right off the beach, this is some of the freshest and tastiest poke you’ll ever enjoy. The team is knowledgeable and their service is fast and efficient. Go early as they do run out often on busy days. Seating outside is the only option on two picnic tables and no dining indoors so be prepared to squeeze in and make new friends with other customers. A great meal and well worth the wait.“

“Awesome place Go Pack Go !“

“Our server Angel was amazing! Super friendly, prompt and engaging!“

“We did a brewery tour, James was great and very informative. Not our first brewery tour. It was comparative to Descheutes Brewing in Oregon. Had a great time and James answered all of our questions very well, helps he used to be a teacher!“

“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 😁🤙🏾“

“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.“

“super friendly and amazing food“

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Beach Tree Restaurant at the Four Seasons Kona.

The service was exceptional from start to finish. We made a special request to the manager for an ocean-view table, and they graciously accommodated us, which made the evening even more memorable.

The food was absolutely outstanding. The pizza, pasta, fish of the day, chicken, and salad were all exceptionally delicious and beautifully prepared. Every dish exceeded our expectations.

The only area for improvement would be the timing from the kitchen. For some reason, the food took longer than expected compared to normal restaurant service standards. However, the quality of the meal and the outstanding hospitality more than made up for the delay.

Overall, it was a spectacular experience, and I highly recommend Beach Tree to anyone visiting Kona. We will definitely be back!“

“The Ono fish and chips.....onolicious. The quality of the ono fish is outstanding. I haven't found anything remotely this good where I live. I believe you definitely get your money's worth! If you haven't tried Pine Tree Cafe, you don't know what you're missing. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The service was outstanding and the people were very nice and friendly! So what are you waiting for? Get over there and check this place out!
Call ahead if you are pressed for time. Pine tree Cafe is the best!!!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Still our favorite restaurant at the Four Seasons Hualalai!

You cany beat the setting... right on the beach with amazing views of the pristine coast. The staff is attentive and not overbearing. The food is upscale but approachable, especially for lunch. Great comfort menu items made with the highest quality.

I especially recommend their Mexican seafood entrees.“

“Aloha amazing amazing food and service. The clam chowder is a must and Tempura anything- you can't go wrong. Mahalo Chef Ron.“

“My husband got a ninja star roll and said this was some of the best sushi he’s ever had. The wait time said 2 hours when we first walked up, but we only got the 1 roll and only waited maybe 10 minutes, so we were really happy about that.

Definitely a must try when in Kona!“

“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.“

“An amazing meal!! Definite repeat trip!“

“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 found this hole in the wall place recommended by Google. Hole in the wall is an understatement, local food, local people, food prices. Still getting used to the Hawaiian seasoning, they like a dash of cinnamon in their meat/pork. The Portuguese sausage is really good. Nice family owned business. 👍 try it, you will not be sorry. Don't let the look discourage u - hospitality, hard working family.“

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

“What a great restaurant! We came here hungry after a long day packed with snorkeling, hiking and shopping.

We got the calamari to start (this was amazing BTW). For the main dish, I got the poke bowl and my mom got fish tacos. They were both so good we ended up splitting the two.

More than the food, the vibes were immaculate and so Hawaiian. I would love to come here again.“

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

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

“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.“

“Excellent food, warm service.“

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

“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.“

“Todo esta exquisito y el servicio es excelente“

“Talk about a hidden gym! We were on Hawaii for 4 nights and we managed to eat here 3 times. First was lunch after landing (couldn’t check into our resort yet), then we got pozole to-go for after our manta dive the next night, and then we had a nice slow dinner here the day we flew out!

Amazingly delicious Mexican food, we can vouch for the burritos, quesadillas, tacos, and pozole. Their red hot sauce is FIRE. I wish I had a way to take it back to the mainland with me.

Best part - amazing food, and mainland prices. Not sure how they do it, but they OVER deliver with every bite.“
