Hawaiian Restaurants near Puako, HI

“The food is good. Multiple styles of bbq, Korean, Hawaiian, fried chicken... Just a fusion of flavors. I'm not a big fan of the macdonalds/Wendy's feel. The food puts most fast food to shame. Bathrooms weren't available. They are consistent so you have it in cali or Hawaii it's gonna be the same.“

“My husband and I stayed several days for his 50th birthday. Surprise to us at check-in they had upgraded our room to an oceanfront room.., completely complimentary. It was hands down the best experience we have ever had. From the friendly staff, to the amazing meals and all the beautiful views inside and outside the resort. Mahalo! Mauna Lani!“

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

“We didn’t stay here, we only came for dinner at the restaurant, but the experience was great. The view is incredible, we watched the sunset and it was absolutely beautiful. Even with the wind, we were still very comfortable while eating. Everything was delicious and the service was very friendly. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but totally worth it.“

“Asked if he would substitute grilled fish for the fried shrimp on their salad, and he said sure. Best $15 I've spent on the island. They are take out only, so brought it down to the nearest park to eat. The view is definitely 5 star atmosphere. If you're looking for a good meal at a good price, this is the place.“

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

“Kawika was an amazing bartender/server. He kept our drinks full, kept us laughing, and was super attentive. He described the lobster fried rice and made it sound so good that we decided to order it. It was delicious!!!!! Then he sold us the mud pie and again it was a winner. Thank you Kawika for your knowledge, aloha, and hospitality“

“I wanted to Thank you for the amazing time dining at your establishment. The highlight of all was our Server Rose, she went above and beyond both nights we dined there. Rose is a exceptional Server and I hope you appreciate her as much as we did. Hopefully it will get back to Rose that we feel like she's a great person...“

“Dined here 2 decades ago and food still stands out above the rest. Restaurant could use a makeover sooner than later. Service was OK - food came out at different times and at times slow. However nothing moves fast in the area when everyone is on Island Time. Meals were all great“

“My wife and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary on the Big Island and wanted to experience the best the island had to offer. Ulu Ocean Grille did not disappoint! Here is a summary of our dinner: We thoroughly enjoyed the Ebi Tempura roll - (it was good enough that we have encouraged several family members to join us at Ulu this evening for sushi and dinner) For our entrées we had the Mahi Mahi and the Spicy Crab Noodles. Both were perfectly prepared, very flavorful, and the presentation was perfect. For dessert, we couldn't decide between the chocolate or vanilla (the flavor of the evening) soufflé, so we got one of each (you only celebrate 20 years once!). Again, perfectly prepared and presented and was thoroughly enjoyed. And I can't overstate how excellent the service was. The staff went out of their way to make the experience memorable. It was the best dining experience I have ever had and I don't expect to top it soon, unless they outdo themselves when we return this evening. Ulu & Four Seasons Resort - well done!“

“We came over from the Four Seasons for dinner. The building is beautiful with high volume ceilings and incredible views, especially during sunset. The menu is small but food was well prepared. Don't miss the beef cheeks - something you don't often see on a menu. It was like a delicate slow braised short rib. Definitely make a reservation and stop in when in Kona.“

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

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

“The performers were excellent. Atmosphere/setting was nice.

The food was good, but when its windy... you will add nature to your food. Desserts were average at best.

The service was not good. Seating was uncomfortable. No good direction to find the area.

Super expensive. The drinks are not included. In my opinion the total price is not worth the package outside of great performers and history.“

“For our final evening of our 9 day vacation on the Big Island we chose Manta at Mauna Kea to dine. What a treat. Jessica was our server and she did great. The ambiance and food quality was top notch. The craft cocktails were the best that we had while on the island.“

“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!“

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

“The Pancakes are THE BEST!!!“

“Had the most amazing meal at cooper bar! Our server Tony is Michelin Star level of attentiveness and service. The manager Jaslynn came by to check on us a few times. Those two individuals really the experience unforgettable, we will be back to Mauna Kea just because of them. The food was also amazing, we tasted some of everything. The calamari was cooked to perfection. The flatbread pizza was like I was back in Europe. The seafood was fresh and the flavors danced in tango. The drinks although spends were delicious and not shy on spirit, worth every penny.

If your ever on the island of Hawaii, you must must must! Make a reservation here!“

“This is a good place that is in-between the pools and lagoon. You can get a table and watch the dolphins or watch the activities in the lagoon. Food is decent. Get the Lagoon club or the Ahi burger. Those are your best options. Good beer as well. Order from here as it is fast. The pool service is very slow.“

“We shared the Brussel sprouts and bbq ribs w/lilikoi bbq sauce pupus. That plus a couple of cold beverages and a beautiful big island sunset made for a very pleasant evening in this hotel restaurant. 3/26 update - new menu meant no bbq ribs but we found the fish and chips and huli huli chicken to be excellent!“
