Hawaiian Restaurants near Puako, HI

“It's a chain restaurant. This is in a food court at the Queen market. The family meal is enormous for 6 people. We had leftovers for the next day. it's about $70 for the family meal with 3 meats and 2 sides. It's an indoor food court.“

“Went here for one of the best meals I've had on the Big Island. Very beautiful by the beach and water setting. Top notch service.

Very delicious food. My favorite thing I ordered here was the buttery grilled lobster. Perfectly grilled and warm with each bite. Very decadent and rich flavor.

The other must order is the pull apart bread. So warm and soft and the butter that comes with it makes it even better!

You do not need to come only for special occasions but simply the celebration of being alive and being able to enjoy a amazing meal on the Big Island.“

“delicious calamari and curry mussels appetizers, rib eye entries a must and for dessert brownies with ice cream and fried banana“

“Separate vegan menu and server very knowledgeable about what was vegan versus not. Even brought out special bread that didn't have the butter brushed on. Best meal I have had on the island so far but price precludes frequent visits. Located in the Fairmont orchid, out back by the pool, not the easiest to find as signs are small.“

“Great experience. Very nice owner and Simple place but the food was delicious. I ordered the ahi tuna and sushi bowl with sushi rice and added their chilli water on top. It was very fresh and no “fishy” taste. Wish I could eat that every day!“

“We had a wonderful experience at this location, from the friendly hostess who checked us in to the warm, charming bartenders (Nicole & Cameron) who knew the menu inside & out & made great recommendations. Highly recommend visiting this location! Start at the bar for Aloha Hour & then move on to dinner.“

“This restaurant obviously has it all going for itself with the location, on top of that the food and drinks are incredible but what makes it incredible is the service. Cristalle (sorry if I spelled this wrong) went ABOVE and beyond to make our dining experience incredible. She was so funny and engaging and made every effort to accommodate dietary restrictions for an amazing dining experience. Hopefully she remembers this quote but she was truly the “McGogger of the day”! She is an asset to the hotel and truly defines what hospitality means.“

“This place is amazing! Check it out, you won’t regret it….it’s one of the best restaurants in the state.“

“This was the best restaurant while I visited Big Island. Somewhat pricy for portion size, however, flavors were amazing, very upscale, everyone enjoyed their food, so value was there.

And of course, great views at this restaurant, including the Manta Ray viewpoint.“

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

“The Pancakes are THE BEST!!!“

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

“Island Breeze have been Rated the Best Luau on the Big Island of Hawaii!“

“You'll find Emma's tucked alongside three other restaurants. Just ring the bell if no one is in front. The kare-kare is a bit bland but otherwise decent. The Balabok has unique flavor but nothing to write home about. The pork & peas my daughter loved. Thr meat is melt in your mouth. But comes with potato salad and not lettuce salad. The Hawaiian plate also had potato salad. My son liked it but I think the pork needs a bit more smoke flavor. The calamansi is unique but too sugary.“

“Love, love, love! Must do in Waikiki.“

“Amazing fire show with great atmosphere. Good was delicious.

Simply regrettable that even with premium tickets, drinks are not included (20$ for a small Mai Tai in a plastic cup...) and that the premium seat result in being just being light spots...“

“This is a wonderful place to eat for breakfast, with the most breathtaking views! Try the island fried rice, it’s worth the upcharge! My servers were all great, but my favorite person was Ginger who was the hostess. She has the best personality and is quite funny! Thank you for the great experience!“

“The Copper Bar at the Mauna Kea is always one of our first stops when staying on the Big Island. Our excellent server was Lacey who was cheerful and knowledgeable. We shared the KFC appetizer as well as a Red dragon roll and a Margherita pizza. The entertainer Pomai played beautiful music on his electric guitar and granted our musical requests. The Hula dancer was also lovely. You cannot beat sunset there - AND I saw the green flash !“

“We stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa Village during our week-long trip to Hawaii, and we had such a great time!

It’s located right next to Dolphin Quest, so if you position yourself accordingly, you can watch the dolphins swim while you eat!

Our favorite dishes were the poke nachos, the kimchi burger, and the fruit plate. And our top beverages were the lava flow and the pele’s keiki (virgin lava flow). I got the fruit platter which comes with banana bread and was surprisingly filling! The fruit was fresh, sweet, and refreshing! And the lava flow and pele’s keiki drinks taste just like a strawberry piña colada. So yummy!“

“We went for breakfast. Atmosphere is nice - restaurant is open air and has view of the resort.
Continental breakfast was $30 and full buffet (hot food - eggs, bacon, made to order omelets, etc.) was $49, which feels very expensive. Platinum and Titanum Marriott members gets continental breakfast included and them can pay $16 to upgrade to full buffet. One person can upgraded, and the other person isn’t required to upgraded. I liked this option and appreciated it. You would have no problems having just the continental breakfast as it pancakes or waffles, cereal, fruit, yogurt, etc. The quality of the food was very good. Nicely presented. My only complaint is that the service was poor - dirty plates just get stacked up on the table and no one clears them. Also, the servers do not explain the buffet. No one told us that coffee and juice were included with the buffet until we specifically asked. There is also a menu - most entrees were $25 to $30. Overall, good breakfast but it is very pricey if not included.“
