Hawaiian Restaurants near Pahoa, HI

“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!“

“Ten out of ten would recommend food was major, service was great and if I had money I go today and eat! For sure will be back! I really did love the atmosphere it's a nice vibe and the food presentation was great the calamari is so good! Wish I had pictures but I had to rep this place we have dined in once and we have ordered out before! Mahalo Nui loa for the great experience!“

“I love that there is a Kalo bombs here in Pāhoa! The owner was so nice. It was like talking to someone you knew for a long time. Our kalo bombs were delicious as well! We ordered one cookies and cream one and an ube one with extra pa'iai. So good on a hot day! They have a lot of other specials I would like to try including plate lunches. Definitely will be back for all that goodness!“

“This is a food truck, located in the Waikele Shopping Outlet lower parking lot. No seating - walk up , take -out, only. We had the Lemon Grass Chicken Sandwich on the French Roll - one of our favs. Very crunchy, plenty of filling , very flavorful and just the right size to fill you up.“

“hands down the cleanest L&L on the island! we were blown away last night by the amazing service and quality of our food. we've been to L&L in multiple locations on the island of Hawaii and were very impressed with this location. I loved the mural on the wall, the woman, Kainoa that took our order was so awesome, very professional and nice! Justin was our cook and he obviously cares about what he's doing and takes pride in his cooking. my husband got a burger and we noticed right away, the buns are not the typical L&L buns and the fries are even better. this L&L obviously cares about quality. kids got Teri beef plates. I had the garlic shrimp plate. we will definitely be coming back next time we are on this side of the island.“

“Super friendly staff and a very welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place to have a casual dinner, or just read a book at the bar, Kaleos has the best vibes. This has become my 2-3 times a week place to just exist around people as I housesit for my dad on the rural part of the island. Food is good, prices are right, and the bartenders are super friendly. Also if you’re a dessert person, definitely try the lilikoi cheesecake.“

“This place is great. Went there for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Stopped on the way home from visiting VNP. Walked in and was a bit surprised as there wasn't much seating as place was small. However the food made up for all that. They serve a variety of Hawaiian plate options, sandwiches, burgers and poke. There were 4 of us. 2 ordered the burgers and 2 the poke. Poke was nice and fresh. The burgers are awesome and for the price $6.99 for single $9.99 for double you can't beat it. Mind you the burgers are just burgers nothing comes with it including any condiments no lettuce tomatoes etc but they do provide ketchup and mustard. Which I don't mind as I'm pretty much a no frills burger gal anyways. Each patty is 4 oz. and they taste great! We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back. Folks working there very friendly. I live in Keaau and will gladly take a ride up to Kurtistown just for the burger and maybe a side of sushi.“

“Awesome Island Raised Grass Fed Beef Burgers made to order.. one of the last places you can request Medium Rare and you’ll get exactly that. Prepared just right, juicy and hot! The garlic fries are my personal suggestion for a burger companion. These burgers are 4 steps above basic. Don’t pay DOUBLE for a burger at Burger Joint, when you can get a much better burger made with Aloha at David’s Ma’ona Lunch Counter (or Truck)!Parking: Whether it’s at the Lunch Counter in Shipman, or on-site at the Food Wagon, there’s always plenty parking.Kid-friendliness: The kids love these meals!“

“The sis who took my order was great. The food was hot, delicious and fast. The honey garlic chicken was great, and the Mac salad was some of the best I've had in a while. If you haven't been, just be aware that at this location, there are only 2 tables.“
