Plentiful food for good prices, and it tastes great!Basically, this is a fast-food kitchen, like a Panda Express with typical Hawaiian foods. Don’t expect Michelin-Star cooking, but it is good.Outside is a set of sturdy tables, which are regularly cleaned (!). Nice and friendly people behind the counter.

This is my first stop when I get to Hilo and my last stop before I leave Hilo. Also my breakfast on most days. Their turkey tail is fire! I dream about it when I’m not visiting.

Good food, ready made plates, and very good prices. Seems to be a local favorite. Only cost me 12 to feed my family of 4.

A must if you're in the area. The food is super affordable and delicious, fresh made. Portions are big, people are super nice, and it's definitely big for the locals, too.

Small, cozy place. I got a bento box that was ready to go and some spam musubi. The meat in the bento box was delicious! I really liked how the bento boxes were already created. I think you can get custom orders, but I like the grab and go option.

This place was fantastic! We got two of the plates with two entrees and two sides each. Everything in both of our plates were delicious, and the service is fast and friendly. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon!
