    On the main road up to Pahala next to Kamei Gas
    Tony R.

    Happy to have some options out here in Pahala! On the way back from Kilauea A local said the Korean chicken is so that's what we got! And the lady that came after us got that too. Pahala pops are a nice cold treat too. They are made locally by a woman in Pahala so buying them supports local startups! Let me just say that the Korean Chicken is maybe the best thing I've eaten on the island - really though. So bomb. The poke was on point also - needless to say there was nothing left over at the end! If you are on your way back to Kona or if you just want to check out a nice town on the South Side of the big island, check out Pahala and stop by Good to go Grindz - you wont be disappointed!

    If you are in the neighborhood you must try this place! After you pass Kau hospital, going up the hill, its on the left. So happy we stopped here! Im usually prity picky when it comes to food trucks due to usually underwellming food at high prices. This place was the complete opposite! All great tasting food at great prices! And friendly and quick service! We ordered hamburger steak, tropical fries, pahala pop, blueberry cheesecake, and jalapeno cheesburger n fries. Everything was so ono but my favorite was the tropical fries! Looking forward to going back to try more!

    We were pleasantly surprised by this family-run food truck! On top of lovely service, it was tasty food with great prices. Would absolutely visit again!

    Really good spot, especially after a day of exploring the island. They make everything to order, and they're generous with their portions as well. We had to eat off the hoods of our cars but it adds to the experience.

    A Little Hidden Gem Filled With Aloha…read more Hana Hou Restaurant was honestly the best food experience we had during our entire 8-day trip to the Big Island. We stayed in Waikoloa Village and explored Kona, Hilo, Volcano Park, South Point, the Green Sand Beach, and the Black Sand Beach, so we had plenty of opportunities to try different places. And somehow, this little hidden gem ended up being our favorite. We're from the Los Angeles area and were traveling with my husband and our teenage son, and from the moment we walked in, we felt something different here. The service was genuinely friendly, the employees seemed happy to be there, and there was such a warm aloha spirit throughout the restaurant. That kind of genuine hospitality was missing at some of the other places we visited. Even something as simple as sitting down for a cup of coffee on the morning of Day 5 of our trip felt like a pleasure. The vibe was relaxed, welcoming, and local. You could feel that this was a place connected to the community. And the food was AMAZING. My son ordered the pizza, and it was HUGE -- so big that he had enough left over for the next day. My husband had the chicken, and I ordered the noodles. Everything was delicious. But I have to talk about the papaya. I do not like papaya. At all. I was just craving some fresh fruit, so I asked what they had, and they told me they only had papaya. I figured, okay, I'll try it. It was HANDS DOWN the best papaya I have ever had in my life. I loved it so much that later in the trip, when we stopped at a fruit stand and I bought papaya, I was immediately disappointed because it wasn't even close to the papaya we had at Hana Hou! We've been to Maui and Oahu before, and this was our first trip to the Big Island. If you're traveling around the island, I highly recommend making a stop here. Don't let the fact that it's a little tucked away fool you -- this place is a true hidden gem. We're so grateful we found Hana Hou. The food was wonderful, the people were wonderful, and most importantly, we felt the aloha spirit here in a way that really stayed with us. Mahalo, Hana Hou, for being one of the highlights of our trip!

    Service was good and food was even better. It's a hole in the wall find with a variety of food. The…read morebeef and fish are local. We had the catch of the day which was ginger scallion ahi tuna, Mac salad and dill slaw. All wonderful and fresh! My husband has the blacked ahi tuna sandwich and it was fresh as well. This place was a wonderful find after a full day of driving and hiking to Green Sand Beach and playing at Black Sands.

    Just realized I didn't take any pictures. Sad! Well let me paint one for you…read more If you're missing your fancy big city food then this is the place to come. While they appear to be a casual, local, hippy establishment (and they are). The food and wait is worth every penny, (and pennies are more valuable now). You will hear live music when you approach building. It's bright and colorful, open air and you can feel your inner artist being inspired. The place is packed but you find a seat and listen to the laughter, singing, and sizzles from the kitchen. It's small and bundles of fruit seam to just be around everywhere. Your server gives you a menu and you think. "Oh wow! That's a bit pricy." But you're all in. Considering this place is proud of its farm to table reputation. Yes, nothing goes to waist here and it as fresh as you can possibly get. So you order and wait. And you wait, and you wait. Finally the plate arrives and it's beautiful. A paradise of fruit, veggie filled omelet and some things you're not sure if you can eat them or if it's just decoration. (You can eat them) Have you ever heard of a cranberry hibiscus? I'm not a fan of salsa with my eggs but they make their own from scratch and they also sell it. So I have to at least try it. "What is in this! Magic?" Before you know it a whole days life experience has just happened. There were ups, there were downs, and surprises. Not just from the food but the whole surroundings. Let's just say nothing was left on the plate and I have stories to tell. Our server was the sweetest older lady who you can tell just loved her job and people. In fact all the workers were just rays of sunshine and smiles. Did I just have breakfast or walk into a magical world where time stood still and surrounded me in song and colors. I swear I don't do substances, it's just that good.

    Fresh fruits are served with your meal. I have ordered pancakes and their homemade tropical syrups…read moreare so delicious! Highly recommend

    How do I start??... this was literally our last meal on Hawaii Island before boarding our red eye…read moreback to the mainland, and let me just say that we couldn't have picked a better way to end our vacation... To be honest we hesitated going in cus we saw a sign at the door that said their A/C was broken, but girl!!! Am I glad we didn't just get back in the car and drove off... I ordered the spicy garlic shrimp with adobo fried rice and mac salad. My husband ordered the spicy furikake chicken with adobo fried rice and kimchi pickled cucumbers. Every single item was soooooooooo good!!! And we all know Hawaii is packed with delicious and flavorful food... well this by far was our favorite!! The shrimp are huge, the rice was super delicious!!!!! Do yourself a favor and get the pickled cucumbers!!!!! They are life changing! They are probably the most delicious item on their menu! I wish I could find something like them here in vegas... I wish I could order those cucumbers online they are my absolute favorite! And mind you, if there is ever a pickled cucumber on a menu, I get it, so I've had my fair share of cucumbers lol... The girls working there are super sweet and attentive, the chili pepper water they have is also the best of I've had.. we even got a jar to bring back home. My husband usually never goes for chicken plates like that, so the fact that he loved it much meant that indeed everything here is delicious!! So if you are ever on the Big Island, definitely go pay them a visit!

    Had to try this place after all the good reviews so this was our first stop after landing at KOA…read morefor our first BI visit. Got there about 15 minutes after opening and there was no line and plenty of parking. Easy to find a table. Service was friendly and she explained the menu. Ordered the 3 item plate with garlic butter shrimp, garlic furikake chicken and short ribs to share. Also had the potato mac salad. All were delicious! One star off for super fatty short ribs ($13.99 surcharge was on the high side for the small amount) and high price (paid $2.99 for a bottle of Costco Kirkland water and $3.50 for a can of Aloha POG - at least they were cold!) but welcome to Hawaii I guess! Would return to try other menu items!
