“What an Experience! Dropped in for a hamburger plate on my way back to Hilo And. The kitchen BoyZ were kicking their Music So loud that two couples got up and left soon after their meals were served. F#@^ F÷@_ B</÷& Ni$$$ The Disturbing noise wasn't good enough for Dez Boyz in da Kitchen. They had to crank up the Disgusting music so loud the customers could hardly order out front. I ordered my food to sit down and they gave it to me in a to go bag. Guessing that was a Hint. My soda cup came with a coffee cup lid so I guess I don't need no straw for dat one. No napkins in the bag and none at the counter but when I asked for a napkin, the waitress literalgave me over a dozen napkins. What's the point in all that? The burger patty slipped Off the bun and the lettuce and tomatoes went flying. The fries were OK. The best part of this place is Leaving....like the other customers ate doing. I attribute the problems in this restaurant to the lack of strong positive male models in this area. No self respecting man raises his boys to act like this. The music is offensive to any civil person. And just like that....I watched a customers dog pee on the floor in the dining room!”

“Had breakfast here on a Wednesday morning and the food was the best I have had on the island. Waitress was efficient and good. Came back in the evening to grab a Mac salad to go from the counter and let a $1 tip to the cashier that handed it to me to which the woman working the host stand said, when they dont tip they can wait. I tipped the breakfast waitress $40, on a $75 meal bc i was so impressed with the place, but simply picking up a container of Mac salad to go i don't believe warrants the same tip as a hard working waitress who provides you a service. I am still leaving a 5 star review bc I dont want people not knowing how great this place or the food is, but hopefully the owner can have a talk with the Wednesday night host about being so rude, as this could prevent customers from returning.”

The live music added to the fine dining experience. To top off the evening the desserts were rich and yummy-but the "Wow" factor was the coffee we ordered served in a french press coffee maker! We will be back and bring our friends and family!”

He welcomed us warmly, gave great recommendations, and knew that we were on a time crunch so served us quickly in takeout containers which gave us time to shop on the Main Street. We ordered the chicken katsu which was perfectly crunchy with a flavorful dipping sauce. The ahi don was moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The garlic rice was flavorful and delicious. Portions are generous. The salad mix was a great complement to the meal. Thank you for the kindness and we definitely recommend!”

“I’m a lover of hamburger steak and have tried the hamburger steak at every restaurant and drive-in in Hilo. The Liko Lehua hamburger steak is absolutely the best tasting. The secret to a good hamburger steak is the gravy and their gravy is rich, tasty and homemade. No instant or canned gravy here. It also helps that their hamburger patties are hand made. Kudos to the chef and staff at Liko Lehua.”

“Two locals were here during out visit letting us know this was the place to be for shaved ice. The keiki was very good sized. Don't miss the specials on the board in the back, they are special for a reason. We ordered 8 different combos. All were so good, the coconut add on for $1 is totally worth it, though opt out if you want a less rich and more refreshing version. The lady at the counter was the kindest lady with a pleasant genuine smile that never flinched while the 8 of us lined up calling out our 24 flavors and toppings. She made the whole experience that much nicer and all for under $40.”

“A nice surprise with singing and guitar music while we ate and had a drink to start our vacation. We ordered lechon and 2 pina coladas. Service was nice and efficient, the view is lovely. Day 2 we ordered Caesar salad and clams. The bread dipped in garlic sauce was nice. The brownie with ice cream dessert was divine. Day 3 we ordered chicken wings, espresso martini and poke during Happy Hour. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. Poke was good, we ordered a side of rice. Loco moco and coffee for breakfast. Plenty of meat variety, thin beef patty, rice a little undercooked. For most evening meals, it took 30-40 minutes after ordering to get food, at breakfast about 15 minutes.”

“Had lunch here 2/3 days that we were in Hilo, everything was amazing. The Misoyaki Butterfish Salad was fresh and extremely flavorful without being heavy, and the fish melts like butter in your mouth. We also had a cold water scallop special, an eggplant /marinara/pesto/ricotta appetizer (forgot what it's called, oops!) and crab cakes. Everything was great, honestly one of the best places I've eaten at on the entire island. I like to sit at the bar, as I'm a former long time bartender. Sascha is one of the best around, cocktails were, again, among the best that I found on the island, including Kona. Service was top notch, no matter how busy he got, and he took extra time to modify one of the house cocktails so that an elderly gal with sensitive teeth sitting nearby could enjoy it. I would honestly make the drive from Waikoloa just for this, but Hilo has plenty of outdoor activities to offer as well.”
