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.

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!

👍👍 Amazing menu options, fantastic service, and beautiful views. Make a 5:30 dinner reservation for the most amazing sunset views.
