Wasabi Tours Hawaii

Tour operator

👍👍 This tour is absolutely perfect. And, if you’re fortunate enough to get Kurt as your tour guide, you could not be in better hands. His knowledge is amazing. He was so accommodating, informative, fun, and funny. He definitely “made” the tour. I mean, how does this guy know all this stuff!?!? We sa...

Ratana's Green Papaya Salad

Restaurant

🫤 Another quick review! Gluten free and vegetarian options! Very good food! Best Thai noodles I've ever tasted! The texture is perfect! I think the flavors mix very well and the cooks know what they're doing. Everything was spectacular! But.... One- actually 2 things I ought to mention; The avoca...

Restaurant

👍👍 Extensive and super creative menu. Large portions. Amazing flavors. Specialty drinks in addition to regular sodas/ water. Very impressed with 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...

Dragon Kitchen Brown Rice Sushi

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 Seriously the best sushi! It’s a bit of a hole in the wall, but don’t let that deter you. I got the sushi combo B, and it was amazing. We spent all of that night and the next day thinking about this sushi, and drove back to Hilo from Kona just to eat here again. Definitely worth it!

ULU Sushi Lounge

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 Amazing menu options, fantastic service, and beautiful views. Make a 5:30 dinner reservation for the most amazing sunset views. Be sure to make reservations weeks ahead, if possible, as reservations are tough to get at this resort. The breakfast buffet is delicious, but gets a bit monotonous, as t...

Ola Brew Co

Brewery

👍👍 May 2023: Stopped by for a few salads and a flight of 🍻. Salads were tasty. I had the falafel 🧆 salad and I thought the balance of ingredients was perfect. I'm a big fan of hazy IPAs. There weren't any hazy IPA choices so I tried the pale ale, the hazy session IPA, the milkshake IPA and the A'A...

The Booch Bar

Restaurant

👍👍 This place deserves more visibility. We were looking for a place to have breakfast in Hilo just past 8 in the morning and this place did not show up in our Google search. We came across the Booth Bar only because the restaurant we picked was tiny and full and we decided to just walk around for a sub...
