    Counter
    Christine L.

    Heard good things about this place but was a little disappointed. It's an outdoor counter, so you order and then pick up your food and can find seating by the pond. Tried the fish and chips, fried oysters, and the coconut shrimp. Everything comes with either rice or fries and coleslaw. Fish was the best thing, but it wasn't amazing. The fried oysters were fine and the coconut shrimp was lacking flavor even with the sauce. The fries were crispy which was nice. Service is straightforward, not super helpful to tourists given that it is in a touristy area, the Kings Shops, which is right across from a lot of resorts.

    A tasty spot for fried fish but not earth shattering. We ordered Fried Oysters, Coconut Shrimp, Fish & Chips, and the Fish Tacos. Nicely fried. I wasn't a fan of the tartar sauce-- the mayonnaise overpowered the other flavors which are the hallmark of a good tartar sauce. I liked the coconut shrimp the best. There is outdoor seating right outside of the ordering counter. It can get a bit chilly though as it is on the water and windy. Overall, I would recommend Island Fish & Chips, but certainly not a necessity on my Big Island restaurant list. I would eat her again, but I would not seek it out.

    This is one our favorite places on the Big Island- or any Island. Maybe the best fish tacos in the world. I obviously haven't had all of them- but they are in my top 3 all time. Soooo gooood! The Volcano Shrimp is amazing too and craveable. Perfect heat level. Not to spicy, but enough kick to wake you up. Tried the calamari today. Also fantastic. The crust was like a great onion ring. The cocktail sauce was delicious too. I know this is an out door lunch counter, but it is some of the best food in Waikoloa!

    Love this hot malt vinegar!

    This place was the only place in the resort area I enjoyed. Actually the whole family enjoyed. Small family owned business that faces the pond so you get to enjoy your meal in tranquility. It's Asian owned so there are hints of Asian thoughtfulness everywhere: the green tea, the spice counter, and frying things tempura style.

    We were staying at the resorts that are walking distance to this restaurant. This was located in a shopping center that had plenty of parking and other options for food as well as shops. We came here twice because of how much we enjoyed this place! We had the coconut shrimp (picture included). With it comes a side of pineapple cole slaw and two scoops of rice. The second time we came, we had the fish tacos, which came with a side of tortilla chips. Both were delicious and fulfilling! You order at the booth and pay. You then take a ticket, and they will call your name when your meal is ready. Be sure to keep your ticket so you can turn it in when picking up your food. There was public seating just right across from its booth, overlooking the water and surrounding nature.

    The fried oyster were not fresh when but intent it was mushy. The fried fish was better and the fried calamari rings was okay. The french fries were good but overall it is an average place I like that we sit outdoors.

    Kids menu, dessert, drinks. Store hours.

    Hidden gem find at the King's Marketplace. It's located on the back side overlooking the lake. Nice outside spot to eat and look out over the water. Order at a counter/window, easy peasy and pick up at the same place. Food is really solid! Fish and chips were flaky and well fried with good flavor. Would definitely go back!

    Drove here from Kailua Kona just for the fresh fish and chips and was not disappointed. The restaurant is a walk up style place but they do have outdoor seating nearby. I went for the shrimp and fish both breaded with fries, tartar sauce and extra lemon slices. The fish was amazing and very fresh. Same for the shrimp. Ordering was a little confusing and they did come across a bit rude because apparently you can't order two of the same thing on their two item option which isn't clear on the menu. Nonetheless, I would return and I still think about this spot.

    Delicious fish and chips, shrimp shumai, fish tacos and calamari! The service was excellent and super fast! Sit out under the gazebo and enjoy the sunset and calm pond view. Located directly across from the waikoloa beach Marriott

    The fish is overcooked. The lady charged me tips twice. Dishonest place. Will never return.

The food was good, and the portion sizes felt fair for the price. Also, the bartender reminded me of Wells Adams, which gave us a good laugh.

It can get busy so you can make reservations on open table or call them. They have their own parking next to the free public beach parking - just tell them your license plate so they can cover it for 3 hours. Our group of friends got chicken tenders, fish & chips, cheeseburger, fish taco, chicken sandwich, coconut shrimp, and ribs and they were all pretty good. The pricing is a bit higher than what I'd expect but I think u pay for the beach access too.

Each dish we tried had an amazing mix of flavors. Everything was fresh, even the pull apart bread. I opted for the Ahi Tuna, and it was cooked to perfection. The oysters were excellent as well. We also LOVED the ambiance. It seems most tables, whether indoors or outside, faced the ocean with an open concept. Therefore, even the indoor tables are technically outdoors. This was the perfect set up to watch an amazing Hawaiian sunset during dinner. As expected the service was very friendly and attentive. This is one of those must visit spots on the big island. Even if we don't stay at the Mauna Lani next visit, we're definitely going to still visit this place.
