Emma's Kitchen

Was looking forward to trying this out, spent $20 on one way Uber as listing says open until 8pm, got here 5:30pm and is closed

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.

I love Emma's Kitchen! My favorite is the orange chicken and noodles. You can also get Emma's Kitchen food inside KTA which I typically do. I'll check out the food court location soon! Highly recommend Emma's Kitchen.

Comforting Filipino food on the big island. Our order comes out steaming hot and the food is delicious. We ordered beef shank soup, pinakbet ( veg plate w/ fish sauce and pork) and my fav dinuguan ( chocolate meat ). Your food comes in a to go box with an order of rice and/ or macaroni salad. You can eat at the restaurant or take home.

Yum! Calamansi juice, adobo, and katsu were all great. Food was fresh, hot, and flavorful and sauces were on point. Everything was so tasty we had to take some flan home for later

Here’s what you need to know: this is what small family business is all about. Wow! Amazing Filipino flavors out of a small stall in a humble food court in Kona, BIG Island, HI. This is a true hole-in-the wall great find. So fresh and perfectly seasoned and cooked. And great customer service to top it all. Very Reasonable pricing for HI. This is a family business that makes food as a passion. #supportlocal #smallbizWe tried 3 things and a drink. The Hawaiian Portuguese sausage with eggs over easy were simply amazing (off menu Hawaiian breakfast special) - as tasty as you’ll find anywhere on the island with amazing garlic rice and perfectly cooked eggsthe crispy pork belly was the best we’ve had with an incredible lechon sauce,and pork lumpia (Filipino thin egg rolls) was the best version I’ve had too - perfectly crispy and an unbelievably well seasoned pork stuffing.I would not recommend the boba tea - overly sweet and just not good but it’s an afterthought.Our goal Meal was $65 for 3 persons. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place.PS: excellent customer service by Tom

Good service, loved the food!

Better than every restaurant in Wisconsin. Lumpia had excellent meat to wrapper ratio
