Tenkatori Kona
Chicken restaurant
👍👍 This restaurant in a food court was such a pleasant surprise for me. Hubby was craving Indian food so I found a. dosa restaurant for him in a food court while secretly hoping the food court had my kind of food too. I did a very happy virtual somersault when I found this restaurant in a corner. I q...

Cool runnings catering
Jamaican restaurant
👍👍 This is a must go restaurant and probably the best place that me and my wife went to go eat while here on the big island. The guy working there was a bit quiet, but he delightfully surprised us with a meat pie when we were leaving the food truck. I highly recommend the jerk chicken with waffle meal....

Black Rock Pizza
Pizza restaurant
👍👍 Excellent pizza pies here! My nephews wanted to try the Loco Moco and pepperoni rolls. Crust is hand tossed stretched thin, good sauce to toppings ratio, not overloaded or greasy from too much cheese. All ingredients were fresh and good quality. The pepperoni rolls were delicious too. Perfectly cook...

Tea:licious Cafe
Cafe
👍 We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and the foods and drinks were great! The service was very average in my opinion, in that no matter how excited we were, the workers never seemed to show any desire or enjoyment of service. In 3 visits within a week, I don't recall a smile, a thank you, or any o...

Pa'akai Poke
Restaurant
👍👍 Of all the food I had during my stay in Kona this poke bowl has stuck with me most. It’s the best poke I’ve ever had in my life. So fresh, so flavorful, absolutely sets the bar for all that is poke. Tiny little place but big time execution. Don’t miss it.

Nephi's Smokehouse
Hawaiian restaurant
👍👍 Lunch here was absolutely delicious! It’s a really nice local hidden gem. Their smoked meat (pork) was the star of the show, but the fried rice was amazing too. Service is also exceptional—the lady at the front was incredibly welcoming and friendly. Please give this place a shot if you’re in the are...
