“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. 🌟“

“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. 👍🏻“

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

“Had a late lunch here Sunday afternoon. I must say that I love the atmosphere of the store. We placed our order in the front, with the sweet young lady. They brought our platters out to us— best Mexican food I’ve ever had! We live in CA, and this beat any food I’ve had out here. The salsa is delicious, and flavors were great. Many thanks to Manny’s kitchen for their delicious food. When we come back, we will be visiting frequently!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 💯“

“We came here in 2019 and really wanted to go back for pad thai and fried rice that we loved. So now in 2025, we couldn't remember the name.. looked up some restaurant in the area, guessed this is the place, and we were spot on! 😅
Loved it as mucb as the first time!! Love the food and atmosphere!!
Pad thai is sooo goood here! Highly recommend 👌“

“The food at Fish Hopper,Kona, was great! My husband thought the pulled pork sandwich was the best he had ever had! My parmersan crusted fish was excellent! We do wish the wings weren’t just during happy hours.“

“Kona Brewing Company is usually a stop for lunch for us when visiting the Big Island. We love sitting on the shaded outdoor patio. Their beer is great, and there are plenty of options on the menu. We decided to share a small plate of nachos with pork because we had dinner reservations, and there was definitely plenty to eat. And it was delicious. I recommend this place to anyone visiting the Big Island.“

“fast service great tasting food“

“Food is great, need dining area though.“

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

“We stopped in for a couple slices (both types of pepperoni and the veggie) they were so good we ended up getting a whole pie to take home.
Amazing service at the counter, very friendly staff. They have comics available for purchase and comic related movies playing, it’s a vibe. Highly recommend.“

“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 has such a wide menu and we were so impressed with the delicious food and large portions, cannot wait to come here again!
Great customer service as well, super helpful with this pregnant lady trying to figure out what to order! Lol“

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

“Food 4/5 - Ordered mochiko chicken plate and beef chow fun. Chow fun noodles were al dente, as it could’ve been a little more softer. Beef pieces are thinly sliced, but are portioned generously. It has the “wok-hei”, but could use some more soy sauce. Mochiko chicken was nicely fried, as the chicken wasn’t dry. Mac salad was good too.

Service 3/5 - Service is normal for a take-out style restaurant.

Ambiance 3/5 - This is focused more as a take-out style restaurant, so there are only a couple tables inside. Tables are tidy and condiments are kept clean.

Overall - Had a pleasant experience and would visit again.“

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

“The food is so incredible for a reasonable price! the owners are very friendly. fav dish is pad thai with shrimp, beef or chicken.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Service was very good and quick. Bathrooms are a small walk away cross the strip mall and need a key, were not super clean.

The sausage loco Moco was really fun to try and I really enjoyed it.
The Croissainwich was extremely mid, about what you would expect if you made it yourself.“

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

“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.“

“Food was to die for! The Bulleh Fries are perfectly crispy and soft with the best umami flavor!
Best Poke we have had on the Island.
The service was great too and we were sat immediately after our table was ready. Will definitely visit again. 10/10“

“Great food great service especially the mixed veggie soup super nutritious Totally worth it if you want some really yummy food. But I gotta say the crispy chicken is a GO TO choice🤩🤩🤩 and the orange chicken here is super delicious and honestly if you want some good Chinese food come right here cause it’s nice. and if you just want one thing for your dinner, GET the crispy chicken. 🍗 the beef broccoli is also super good.😎😎😎 😏😏“

“Flight from Honolulu arrived about 7:30. Got our rental car and got here around 8:15. Lunch on the plane from Seattle was a long time ago so I ordered the large Saimin bowl with 4 gyoza. It was huge. My son ordered a Wun tun saimin and helped me finish my dinner. Tasty for sure and our bellies were full. Only one picture.“
