“Our food was delicious and made to order. Kalua Loco moco was the first for me but so glad I tried it. Husband had the fresh ahi tuna sandwich, cooked great. 👍🏻“

“Won’t Disappoint!!!
We started our trip here—and made sure to end it here too. The Holiday Burger was an incredible surprise, packed with amazing flavors. The Ultimate Cheeseburger was pure perfection: unbelievably juicy and absolutely delicious.
If you’re traveling to Kona, this spot is a must-visit. It may be tucked away in a strip mall, but don’t let that fool you—it’s 100% worth it. Hands down, the best burger I’ve ever had!
Thank you for the fantastic food and excellent service. 🌟“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you're looking for fresh poke with 0 frills, this is the spot. I ordered a platter which came with 4 poke option and 2 sides. I got seaweed salad and 4 hearty size scoops of yummy fish. Parking is hard to find and there are a few picnic tables for your dining pleasure. Worth it 💯“

“Awesome place Go Pack Go !“

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

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

“This place has a large menu with tons of vegan options. Everything marked with a green V can be made vegan. Make sure you tell them and they will do it. I got the vegan Thai tea (made with coconut creamer) and it was delicious and sweet! They were out of boba but those are also vegan. For an appetizer I got the Vegan Basil spring rolls. These were huge! They come in an order of 4 and there is a peanut dipping sauce and a Hoisin sauce on the side with spoons so you can layer the sauces into each bite! I really liked the peanut sauce with these the most. They fall apart near the end of the roll, but they are very fresh and the basil is a really nice flavor. I'm also so happy they don't come with cilantro in them! For my main course I got Pad Seen Eww (vegan) with tofu and medium spice. This was a large portion and the noodles were cooked perfectly. They weren't too hard or soft. The flavor was great with just a hint of sweetness. I really liked the fried tofu in this dish too. It didn't have a bad sponge texture and had a nice "skin" that was crispy. The medium spice was good, but next time I would get the next level higher. Not every bite was spicy, just the few that had the chili flakes on them so I would get a bit more. Absolutely delicious meal overall and I will have to come back soon! Reservations are recommended during busy lunch and dinner times, especially for big groups.“

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

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

“Lots of great brews and the service was phenomenal and some of the fastest I've ever had. Food was also delicious but a little pricey for the amount, but not the end of the world. Would definitely recommend this place if you are in the Kona area!“

“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 had a fantastic dinner, with outstanding service by Precious! She was a delight to talk with and paid very close attention to us throughout the evening. The octopus for an appetizer was so very delicious and our meals of Sea Bass and pasta with truffles and mushrooms were amazing! The atmosphere is beautiful with an ocean view and live music in the background. A bit on the pricy side, but if looking to splurge, a wonderful place for dinner!“

“Carla's Omelet and Waffle/egg platter were both delicious. Wide variety of breakfast, lunch, dinner stuff. Chicken, fish, noodles, and more. Place stays busy whether dine in or grab and go. Local Favorite 4 sure! Hot sauce, pb cups, jelly, & all kinds of other condiments.“

“super friendly and amazing food“

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

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

“We started our first trip Kona side eating and ended it here as well!!! One of the best places in Kona that we found and the staff??? I wanted to take all the ladies home with me!!! They were so cute, so understanding, even when my husband walked away without taking our boxes up food, the waitress walked over cleaned everything up and left the food at the edge so we could see it!!! - sorry but here on Oahu you did that it's straight into the trash!!!
It is with a bowling alley... So... It can get loud but our group thought the food and the service was worth the crashing of pins!!!“

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

“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!“

“This place is amazing, the prices are incredible. All of this meat, 2 scoops of rice and macaroni salad for 14.99!!! The meat is so tender and deliciously marinated. Simple, small seating area but so worth it for a quick, inexpensive, DELICIOUS meal in Kona especially if you’re not trying to spend $30 a meal every time you go out to eat!“

“We really enjoyed our experience here. The service was attentive but not intrusive, the prices were reasonable, and the ocean view was absolutely beautiful. The octopus salad was especially delicious.

The only small downside was the lack of non-alcoholic wine or non-alcoholic prosecco. Also, when desserts were described, the Kona coffee mud lava cake turned out to be ice cream, which was a bit unexpected.

Overall, a great place with wonderful atmosphere and food. We would definitely come back“

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

“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.“

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

“L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is my go-to for a taste of the islands. I also highly recommend the Chicken Katsu; it's always crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious katsu sauce on the side. The mac salad is a must-have, and it really completes the classic plate lunch experience. The food is consistently good and a great option for a hearty, satisfying meal.“

“Super solid local spot. The food was exactly what you want simple, generous, and really well executed. The pancakes were fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the butter + syrup combo hit perfectly.
The grilled meat was juicy, well-seasoned, and had that nice char from the grill. Mac salad and rice were classic and balanced the plate well. Portions are big, so you definitely leave full.
The vibe is chill, no fuss, and feels authentic not a tourist trap. Service was friendly and efficient.
If you’re looking for good, affordable comfort food done right, this place delivers. Would definitely come back.“

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

“Got there one hour before closing. Parking is behind the building; there is a homeless encampment to the North of the building but they don't bother anyone. Wait to get in was about 15 min. The staff was quick in taking the order and bringing out the food. Everything we ordered was excellent, we will come back.“

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

“An amazing meal!! Definite repeat trip!“

“1st trying this place. Wow I love it. Ordered the mini loco moco, was enough food for an adult serving. Was perfect and the macaroni salad was awesome. I hope that the one by my home in California is just as good. Different will eat at it before leaving Honolulu.“

“Delicious food and friendly staff, the scenery is beautiful too“

“Todo esta exquisito y el servicio es excelente“

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

“Excellent food, warm service.“

“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.“

“Not your average run of the mill quick order restaurant. Everything was extremely fresh and made to order hense while it may take a little longer it’s well worth it! The staff was friendly, curious and knowledgeable on their menu. It was my first time but it for sure will not be my last… left with enough food for 2 more meals! I ordered the beef chimichangas combo plate it was delicious! Highly recommend checking this place out! I’m not a huge fan of guacamole but theirs was so good I kept eating it!!!“
