Killer local spot. Prices are good. Food is awesome. Definitely recommend the fish katsu, chilli, and pretty much any bento. Super friendly staff. Much mahalos!

Parking: Small parking lot, when it's busy parking will be an issue.

The price is right where you want it. Some of the choices are very delicious, like the Korean Chicken, Shoyu Chicken, Chicken Hecka but one of the choices like Teriyaki meatballs reminds me of something I bought at Costco. Make sure to get there early if you want to have all the options because they run out fast.

Parking: About a dozen parking stalls plus some handicap stalls. Do not park alongside the road they'll tow your vehicle.

Earl's lunch shop, there's nothing like it! It reminds me of the old school Hilo bento shops. They sell simple yet tasty bentos and bento rolls. I highly recommend this place as it's a locals favorite. Go early because this shop is so popular they sell out fast! Our favorite is the Korean chicken bento!

I rarely write reviews but the unko there is so nice! He had a busy line and I was in a rush and he helped me right away! They are always so nice the food is always great and consistent. I’ve been going there for years but felt compelled to write today and say how awesome they are there!

Disappointed that the lady who ordered before me got much more than I did and we ordered the same size lunch plate. I’m not sure if it was a local/tourist thing but it was obvious that I got much less food the other people in line. She had 3 pieces of chicken and I had one tiny piece in the to-go box. Next time I will get the premade bento roll, if I go back. Don’t bother ordering a lunch plate if you’re not local enough.

Awesome little restaurant in Waimea. I love the variety of quick grab deliciousness. They offer plate lunches but I have yet to try that.

Delicious food for a good price. There was still good food at 11:30 am on a weekday but some things were sold out. There are a couple of picnic tables outside.

Our friend that is a local suggested to stop here on our drive from one side of the island to the other while on vacation. 10/10 this food was amazing and prices so reasonable compared to some of the resort prices we were used to seeing. Get there early! We arrived around 7am and some of the fave dishes were already sold out.

Great spot in Waimea for a quick grab and go meal. Came around 8am and many of the popular dishes were already sold out, so come early! Big portions, good price, no frills, friendly service. I’m not sure how they managed to keep the Korean chicken crispy despite being packed into a plastic container, but it was such a treat to eat on the beach!
