    Great food and drinks! I love all the beer options, and the fish tacos and coconut shrimp are excellent!

    Staff was great and nice view for lunch. The food was just ok. Very expensive for basic menu. I guess you are paying for location.

    Could be Ahi, Mahi Mahi, or any other exotic Hawaiian fish (my favorite has been the pan crusted Ono).

    Came here for lunch on a Sunday, many places closed, looking for plate lunch but heck, we eat…read moreJapanese too. Tenkatori bills itself as a Japanese style fried chicken, our only other choice in the food court was Mexican (Philippino place wasn't open) so we were open to try. Tenkatori did not disappoint-ordered bento chicken-one was tater tot bento, other was rice and chicken bento, with wasabi and yuzu sauces. Bento came with four softball sized pieces of boneless chicken thighs hot out of the fryer, so fresh and juicy, the juices were literally squirting out between bites. Dipped in the creamy wasabi sauce-great flavor without the head-numbing experience. Yuzu was also creamy, not acidic like lemon, just the real deal. Btw both sauces good with tater tots, but they give you ketchup too. Quite the find, in a quiet marketplace on a stormy Sunday Tenkatori lives up to its ratings. Will be back!

    Reaction sequence in the course of a day…read more 1. Yelp search and discovery that the fried chicken pictures looked great and enticing. 2. Hesitation was instilled once I realized it was part of a random food court kind of in the middle of nowhere but did not count it out completely. 3. Disregarded as there seemed to be potentially better options out there for our meal choices. 4. Enjoy our other meal option. 5. Per chance, happen to swing by this food court per request of a family member in hopes of grabbing some Malasadas in the bakery nearby afterwards. 6. Realizing that we stumbled into the food court anyways, it was fated that we were meant to proceed with placing an order for some chicken. 7. After a short wait for food to be prepared, I'd confirm that the fried chicken is solid, tater tots were good as well, and the mac salad was just okay.

    We hadn't been here for some time and on a whim decided to come in for an early light dinner. We…read moreopted for the spinach salad, Cajun shrimp salad and gnocchi. My wife and I thought everything was delicious. We may be biased because we've been coming here for four decades through many different restaurants. If you remember Dorian's than you are indeed an old timer. One of the challenges with owning a restaurant this close to the ocean is that big storms can wreak havoc and over the years it has caused restaurants here to fold. Kudos to the current owner who has been through some very big challenges over the years! You as a customer get to enjoy one of the best oceanfront restaurants on the coast thanks to that perseverance. We had a great server in Pete, and the entire staff seemed to be attentive and friendly. It probably helped that I showed a pic I found on my phone from 2007 showing my wife and her grandpa and 5 generations celebrating his 99th. So yeah this and the Kona Inn were for special occasions in our family. With the parking downtown such a problem Magics has an advantage with free and ample parking across the street. If you're looking for a memorable place to enjoy a sunset with the sound of the ocean then make a reservation for a half hour before sunset and enjoy yourself. When we travel we seek out places that will be remembered for the experience and hopefully the food will be part of that experience as well. We need to come back and try some more dishes before we can really judge that aspect but we will definitely be back. As to the prices well it's Hawaii. It is expensive but not overpriced! Mahalo.

    Lovely spot to visit in the heart of Kona. You can hang out in an enclosed room full of kittens!!…read moreThese cats are rescued from the island, as there is an overpopulation issue. It warms my heart to support a good initiative like that. There is a cute lobby, a transitionary room to keep the kitties from escaping, then you're in! There were maybe 3-4 adult cats and a dozen kittens roaming around. The older cats like pets while the kittens love to play. There is something for everyone! There are creative seats that keep you next to perches and cat trees so you can hang with the cats. It's a longer space, and the kitttens loved to zoom around! Toys and enrichment are everywhere! I loved chatting with the owner about her cafe! She was very kind and informative about her work. This experience made my day, and I would recommend supporting!

It's in the back of a little mall but look out for their sign. They have such cute merchandise. I ended up getting a t shirt, and bracelets and I love them! The lady who worked there is so nice! She was telling us about all the work they do in rescuing and adopting our cats and I love it and loved being able to support this cause! CAT ROOM EXPERIENCE: Absolutely loved the experience of hanging out with all the kitties! They were so cute and the room they are in is so spacious and cozy! I bought some treats as well and fed them to the kitties. My family did the same! If I ever come back to Kona, I will definitely come back here! I love supporting places like these that help animals!
