I am a sticker for food presentation as well and they did this excellently as well. I ate the fresh flowers garnished on the top of my soup and dessert while sipping my smoothie. Go! you won't regret it.”

“This is the first time trying this place. I got the 20 Piece Oshizushi box. At first I thought that it was a bit pricy for the size ? but I changed my mind quick after I tried it. ? It’s beautiful crafted and presented. Really exquisite and meticulously put together. Its beauty was only surpassed by its flavor. Delicious. The sushi chef here really knows his stuff ?. If you really like sushi I recommend trying this at least once. They didn’t tell me what was in it though so kinda sad. I had to guess what I was eating and what was in it. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day, not sure. So no description of what was in there, I ordered 2.5 hours in advance but the order was not ready at the scheduled time (about 15 mins late), the person at the window did not offer to bring the order out to me or call to let me know it was ready. Plus it was raining pretty good so not fun to wait outside or go back and forth to check on the food. It is presently only window service so no shop to enter and look around. A few things to be aware of 1) there is only a small bench outside so I wouldn’t plan on eating there [edit] since I first posted this they added two additional small tables and chairs 2) it is primarily street parking so you may need to hunt for a bit to find a stall if it’s busy. 3) if you order online be prepared to wait for your order as it may not be ready at the scheduled time. But the sushi is awesome here ??”

“Popped into this cafe and was warmly greeted by a friendly employee. Several customers were already lined up and it didn’t take long for others to join us. No pressure but two girls got our orders quickly and my chai was delicious. The pastries looked super tempting and sit down customers had only positive comments. Although small it is quite charming and welcoming. Coming back soon.Parking: A pick up spot is located directly in front of the cafeKid-friendliness: There are options for kids so parents need no worry.”

“Food was good. I had the jerk chicken wrap, and a Mai tai. My family had fish and chips and the pesto pasta dish, and were happy with their choices. Service was friendly and great, and we loved the singer the evening we went. Fantastic ambiance.”

“I have been coming here for 3 years and I refuse to go anywhere else. Hands down, the best pho.Kid-friendliness: I almost always bring my son here for a mommy-son date. The man that works there always gives him a balloon. The sweetest people ever.”

“Super awesome place for ice cream!I got chocolate with Oreo mix and Oreo topping, and it was so yummy ?Not your typical ice cream shop, they cold roll the ice cream, which kinda makes it light and smooth. They have a ton of games, so if you need a place to chill for a while, this is the perfect ice cream and game spot”

“You will not leave here hungry! This is a popular breakfast spot, but it is worth waiting in line for a table. Staff are all kind and attentive.We recommend the pancakes, flavored or plain.”

By far the best Thai food I've ever had and that goes for everything I ordered. Both dishes I can eat as two meals and the avocado rolls are the perfect appetizer. Could not recommend more and wish I could eat this for every meal!!”

“Cute local cafe with a nice variety of coffees and baked goods. Comfortable seating area to enjoy your order. I tried a Rose latte w Mac nut milk to go with their apple cinnamon scone. Delicious . They have homemade whipped cream cheese that I would love to try next time on a bagel . Support local business!”

“We got there late morning and there wasn’t much left which was expected. We bought a variety of mochi doughnuts and a danish. They were all very good. Just the right texture and flavors for the taro and chocolate mochi doughnuts but for me the lilikoi was a bit too sweet. Really, the best part was the doughnut itself. Not greasy, not hard like some others I’ve tried. It was moist, mildly sweet, and really fresh. The danish was good too. Soft, buttery, and perfectly baked.”

“Super service..it was a personable young lady. Must be good timing ordering the cold vermicelli noodles with grilled pork and 2 sandwiches because the wait time was minimal. The noodles were really good and it fed 2 adults for lunch. Lots of pork that was seasoned just right for us. Ordered a chicken and a pork sandwich but we were so full from the salad, that will be dinner. Judging by the weight of the sandwich...must be packed! One star off for clear pricing on menu. No receipt so can't share the itemization.”

“Really great mochi. Ordered a variety of 8 traditional mochi, and they were the freshest and best ones I've had outside of Japan. They used to be cash only, but they seem to take credit cards now ?”

“My husband & I stopped in for a small quick bite and we settled on the nachos with chorizo added on as our meat choice. How can you go wrong with nachos right? They did not disappoint! The nachos were plentiful and delicious. The chorizo was very flavorful and toppings were plentiful. There were a good amount of tables to sit at, under covered area. The service time took about 25 minutes, but the gentleman taking our order was up front about the wait time which I really appreciated. The only observation we made was that there was no hot sauce anywhere. I should have asked the man in the window if there was hot sauce or jalapeño for purchase as I like my food a little spicy. Next time I will and there will definitely be a next time. If the owner is reading this, can you tell me if you offer hot sauce or jalapeños to add on? Thank you”

“My favorite breakfast spot on the island. They recently experienced a fire that’s shut them down but I can only hope it’s temporary, this place is excellent. Everything from the food and service to the general vibes. I’d hate to think I’d had my last fruit plate without knowing!”

“Best food in all of Pahoa and also best bang for your buck. I often times split the 5 piece fish with my partner or my kids. The ono is particularly ono (delicious!) The pieces of fish are huge chunks and so fresh.”

“Just moved from Seattle and missed cheese steaks and gyros. I am so glad we tried this spot out. I know where to go when I'm having a craving. I do need to also try out the pastrami sandwich. Ooh and the fries, are nice and crispy.”
