Restaurants near Puako

“The food court has many empty spots. The bbq plate is awesome. The chicken and beef are very flavorful. The saimen soup lacks flavor. Overall good experience.”

“World-traveling foodie here. Been to Italy and Peru and live in LA where excellent Italian and Peruvian cuisine is prevalent. So hear me when I say that Claudia and Gino’s Italian-Peruvian cuisine at Cipriano’s vies in my experience for the best I’ve had. Incredibly fresh local ingredients, superb bread and pasta made on-site with Italian flour, innovative recipes made with love. Very casual little yellow bungalow where we eat on a shady porch fringed with tropical foliage and from the kitchen comes your moan-worthy meal…”

“Always wanted to try this place and it didn't disappoint. Beautiful dining experience seeing the sunset and enjoying the unique cuisine. We had the seafood tower and tried the tasting menu. Drinks were also great. The service was wonderful and one of the best parts of our experience. Thank you CanoeHouse!”

“What a fun place to eat. Phenomenal food and fun folks. Sunday night with Matt, Daryl, Danby and Bok-Choy Nagasaki Boy. See you in February”

“Oh My! This hidden gem 💎 is just what we needed to kick off our July 4th celebration. The line was moving quickly. They took our order with care. We had just enough time to take photos and our order arrived. YUM!!! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! 🍧”

“Forget the the Food Trucks in Oahu , the Garlic Shrimp here is unreal , eat with your bare hands,it melts in your mouth.”

“Totally awesome authentic burger place. My only regret was not ordering another burger. My sister had the Surf Burger and I had the Hi-Heat. On the drive back to our hotel, we just randomly kept saying what a great burger those were. Honestly surprised we didn’t turn around and go back for more.”

“Halani has consistently great service, food & ambience. We're told they are shifting to a more Mediterranean type of cuisine and I anticipate the quality level will remain high. As residents of the Big Island (and though we love the ocean-front Four Seasons Beach Tree), Halani is our favorite dining spot.”

“So-so food that was pretty expensive. Don’t go out of your way to come here but the atmosphere is solid if you’re looking for a nice dinner. You get the beach breeze and, when we were there, there was a live band playing which was great — perfect ambiance without being overly loud.”

“Chef Soto’s every dish tonight was fabulous! From the salads to the entrees to the dessert, we loved every bite. Oftentimes eating out at resorts can be expensive and mediocre at best. But that was not the case at Meridia and we were absolutely pleasantly surprised. Thank you Meridia, for a wonderful night out.”

“Amazing selection! Incredible service! Best ice cream on the island!🍧🌴🌞💜”

“Such a fantastic dining venue. The menu is great and everything was so fresh and well-prepared. Service was outstanding and so very friendly. Music, hula, what's not to like? We love coming here. The seared ahi with coconut couscous was amazing as was the daily catch.”

“Wow oh ? wow!!!! ? My husband is HUGE donut fan and we are very well aware of malasadas back in my hula days...but we've not experienced it filled with "your choice" jelly filling! And so warm and yummy ? with guava and lilikoi ....blows any jelly donut out of the park! It's right off the highway and it is a MUST stop!
Our daughter-in-law is the biggest jelly donut fan I've met so I'm excited to have her experience Manuela when we come back ....or find them in South Carolina. They have many locations outside of Hawaii...not sure if that's good or bad. My waistline says 'no' ...ha!”

“Great wine, atmosphere, our waiter/bartender was amazing!”

“All the food I've tried here has been very good and probably the best value for prepared food in Hawaii. The market is a little on the small side but has a good variety of products.”

“Totally awesome authentic burger place. My only regret was not ordering another burger. My sister had the Surf Burger and I had the Hi-Heat. On the drive back to our hotel, we just randomly kept saying what a great burger those were. Honestly surprised we didn’t turn around and go back for more.”

“Best Shave Ice. Anywhere.”

“Great gelato excellent service.”

“The food was amazing. A bit pricey but it is ocean view restaurant in Hawaii. The lobster pasta dish was melt in your mouth delicious. Nice group of selections. The server was fantastic. Kind and funny. Also knowledgeable about menu and wines. I will definitely be back.”

“Great to see Raphael and Yani !!! Miss you guys. It was so good to see you :)”

“Wow! Loved the tasting and the information that Ricardo shared. So much fun! Go and enjoy!”

“Loved our time here. Someone shared this in our local Facebook group so we came to try. Beer was ice cold in a goblet glass. Served by the lovely bartendress bri. Every employee was pleasant and we got help from bri, Kelly and elana. We will be back soon, thanks ladies for making us feel so much aloha and attention. Keep up the good work Johnny’s!”

“Absolutely gorgeous spot to dine at, located inside the four seasons resort. All dishes were super fresh and delicious, some of the best on the island (as expected from four seasons). The staff are very professional and courteous and quick to notice if you need anything at all. Their dessert offerings were also quite delicious, so tempting and good in fact that I forgot to take a picture of the dessert before digging in. Come enjoy the great food and views at this “casual” dining establishment. Their fresh catch of the day was amazing.”

“This is located in the golf clubhouse area at Waikoloa. Indoor and outdoor seating right adjacent to the golf course. Great views out over the lava beds and greens.The food is next level. Sauces and combinations that leave you stunned. Portions range from adequate to huge. You won't leave hungry. The full bar does some innovative cocktails and all the old standbys.”

“We were pleasantly surprised by our experience at Roy's. Reviews we read weren't great but we have to say our meals were very good. We weren't hungry enough for mains, but we both started with a Caesar salad which was better than most. I had the BBQ ribs appetizer, which was more than enough food for a meal and my wife had the seared Ahi tuna starter which was delicious. We'd go back again.”
