We also ordered the tasty crab Rangoon. This came with some sweet and sour sauce. All the food came out in super delicious large portions. Ended up with four large Togo containers.

Best ramen in Hilo. I like how you can pick exactly how you want your bowl of ramen to be. My go-to…read moreis the miso ramen with the ajitama egg and spicy ball.

Love this place! We visited this local favorite on a trip to Hilo. We went for an early weekday…read morelunch, so it wasn't busy. There was parking in the shared lot, but spaces are tiny. Booth seating was perfect for us. The wait staff were super nice and patient with us. Their menu is huge and has a lot of options for customizing. Fortunately, there are diagrams on the wall to help you decide. I got a Miso Standard ramen ($20 with an Ajitama (seasoned soft boiled egg), hard texture, fried garlic, extra noodles. It was fabulous! Really hit the spot. Loved the chewier noodles and the rich, flavorful broth. DH got THE Garlic ramen ($26.50) also with an Ajitama, pork belly, and extra noodles, regular firmness. The kids wanted extra Naruto (fish cakes), 75 cents for 2 small pieces. One of our kids is under age 5, so we got a Miso mini ramen ($9.50 value) for free! Wow! Little one said he did not like the flavor of the seasoned egg. Noodles were very soft, but stayed together, and soaked up a ton of broth so they were flavorful. He said the Miso Mini comes with corn instead of fish cake. We loved all of the toppings. The pork belly was excellent! Portion sizes are great. We had some leftovers to take back. Overall, a fantastic place to satisfy those ramen cravings!

You order at the counter and if you're lucky, you'll have the lovely opportunity of being helped by Cat. She's very knowledgeable about the menu and is very thorough when leading you through the ordering process. Once the food arrived, presentation was great. Everything looked super yummy and fresh! Our ginger pork dumplings and one order of the short ribs came out right away, however my partner's short rib plate didn't come out at all (20 minutes have passed by). It was a slight disappointment having to eat my meal while my partner was waiting for his, however we gave them the benefit of the doubt and figured it was due to the fact we received our order as soon as that dinner rush started. When mentioned to Cat, she was super apologetic and got us the missing plate right away with no excuses. Thank you so much! This series of events will not prevent me from coming back to this spot whenever I am back on this side of the big island because the food is great, ordering process was easy and to the point, customer service was awesome, and hours are very forgiving. Give it a try!

I was so excited to find this Filipino store during our July 2026 trip to Maui and learned through…read morea Yelp search that they serve a personal favorite, halo-halo, a frozen dessert with shaved ice, evaporated milk, ube ice cream, sweet coconut strings, sweet red beans, and sugar palm fruit. Although it did not have the customary sweet banana, mashed sweet potatoes, and sweet jackfruit (thus the one star downgrade from a 5 star) my taste buds remember from having it in a Max chicken restaurant during my trip to the Manila from years ago, I was in heaven! The store also had traditional Filipino snacks i.e. puto, sapin sapin, ensaymada and other local yummy cakes, and a whole lot of Filipino grocery items. The store is small, aisles a bit tight, not well lit inside, parking is free at the back, and customer service was friendly and courteous! Mahalo!
