Love this place. Used to be a fav when Iived in Hilo years ago .. glad to see it's just gotten better!
This is a lovely restaurant that is very popular and therefore gets busy super quickly. We were seated right away but noticed a long line forming to get in shortly after. The good was really good and would definitely recommend. The wait staff were very polite and tried to keep up with everything; it took a little longer than normal to get our check but understandable given the packed house.
Really good food and atmosphere. Get the Loco Moco burger or get it with rice as “The Rock” would 👌🏼🤤 Free parking outside.
Food was okay but service wasn’t that great. First of all, the girl bringing us water spilled water all over me. My phone, bag, and lower right side of my body (thigh down) were soaking wet all throughout dinner. The girl came back and brought some tissue and I assumed they were all for me because I was soaking wet so I started drying myself, but when another older lady came to help wipe down the spilled water on the table and floor, she told me “All of those tissue weren’t for you honey” and took it back from me. Then she had the audacity to say “Good thing it’s only water right?”…. Did she think that was gonna make me feel better? And I am an introvert so having everyone staring at me while the whole accident happened made me feel very uncomfortable.
