It’s really hard to come by a place like this anymore, and I’m so happy I was able to indulge in their menu items because their rolls are MAYJAH and on Tuesdays they have the best sweet and sour spare ribs I ever had. 20/10

Great stop for quick service affordable food and everything we tried was fantastic! We are big musubi fans so we tried several of these options, like orange chicken, Korean beef, and of course the regular spam. All of them were great! Make sure you get there early as they will sell out of their fast moving options.

I’m hesitant to share this place as I’d like to keep it a secret. I’m a long time fan of Earl’s and have been coming here for the past 10 years. This is a local favourite ‘lunch shop’ with amazing bento rolls and other favorites. Their inventory usually sells out fairly early in the day. Their staff here are always super kind with classic Hawaiian hospitality and Aloha. I recommend trying the Korean Chicken bento roll!

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.
