HICO is known for their ube which I tried- I like that it's not super sweet, just a hint of and I think that's all you need for good coffee. You still want the coffee to come through. The salmon loc was also not bad- good breakfast. Thank for letting me bring my . I'll be back when I'm in town.

I'm Filipino and this place provided the best adobo I've ever had in my entire life. The pork belly…read moreadobo literally had me saying, "Oh my god this is so good," the entire meal. I love that they kept the marinade true to its roots--soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Served over warm rice with some mac salad on the side. Even felt that classic post-meal heartburn afterward with the deliciously tender fat. Perfect meal, no notes. This meal was literally the most memorable on the Big Island and it'll be a must-stop restaurant for us if we ever go back.

Sadly missed out on trying this the last time I was visiting Hawaii but glad we made it out this…read moretrip. Excellent food. We did the 3 meat combo: Garlic Chicken, Short Rib, and Panko Fish w/ adobo fried rice + sesame corn on the side. I typically would order a mac salad and garlic shrimp but wanted to switch it up randomly for this occasion. Also grabbed two of the Hawaiian Sun drinks for $3.50 per drink which was expensive, but convenient, as we were driving out to catch the sunset and star gazing immediately after picking up our food. If I were to reorder, I'd do the same 3 piece combo, highlighting that the panko fish was surprisingly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside so this was a great option. I'd probably go with mac salad and give the kimchi fried rice a try. A friend did let us try the purple sweet potato salad side. This was a nice change of pace similar to the traditional mac salad.

Found this place off of YouTube. I was highly excited to try their boba. When you walk in, the…read moredecoration inside is super cute. The fake cherry blossom tree and the angel wings are definitely social lures. We came here on a weekday evening. It was very busy! There was only one cashier and he was the one who puts the order together as well. We took pictures and I did a video as we waited. It was a very long wait. I think we were 3rd in line after a couple, and the 2nd was a couple with 3 children. After waiting for over 10 mins, we decided to sit down. We noticed there were 2 other groups already seated and waiting before our line started. Mid wait, another 2 groups came in. The cashier attended to them and continued to fill orders. He did great for the amount of people he had to serve. We ordered the brown sugar tea with boba. It was very bland! I mean like milk with some sprinkles of sugar lol the boba had no taste and they were small boba balls. I was disappointed. I gave the extra star for the decor.

Get your coffee and chocolate here!…read more We stopped by an hour ago to round out our shopping before heading back home tomorrow. We picked up butter rum-covered macadamia nuts for my brother-in-law and dark chocolate donkey balls (also macadamia nuts!) for our teenage nephew. Prices are reasonable given the prime downtown Kona location.

Fast forward to November when I put in a large order of coffee, tea and donkey balls for Christmas presents. They charged our credit card and sent an Order # the next day. After that - absolutely nothing!! We phoned at least four times and left a detailed message each time. They never returned our calls. We e-mailed twice with no reply either time. No communications at all. We did get our money back from our credit card company, but I'm wondering if they ate the cost of the credit rather than trying to get the money back from this company. Not good! Let the buyer beware if you try to order online from this company.

PARKING: Free in the large lot or on the street…read more VIBE: Various table sizes throughout the restaurant, spread out, not squished, which is nice. I came with a group of 8 SERVICE: Full restaurant service, plates, silverware MENU: Updated pictures are attached. Their shirts that say "F*ck Frozen Fish" should tell you how fresh things are! If you go to the small market side, the current market price for fresh poke is $28/pound PRICE: Fair, but a little pricey. It's the price of small businesses in Hawaii!

My husband was craving for some delicious fresh fish so we decided to check out this restaurant…read more They had a parking lot with free parking, this definitely made things easy because it is usually hard to find free parking in this area. I got the veggie poke bowl and my husband got the catch of the day. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. We decided to sit in the patio area. They had mist blowing fans in the patio area to help cool off. Our food arrived pretty quickly. The presentation was good. The food looked appetizing! My veggie poke bowl was packed with sesame ginger flavor and tastes delicious. The side of salad was a good add on. My husband's dish looked great. The fish was soft and the flavor was nice. He liked the side of mac salad as well. I was a bit skeptical initially about the veggie bowl. However, it was great and I'm glad I tried something authentic food. We also got the chocolate lava cake for dessert. It came out pretty quickly. It was coated with strawberry syrup. The menu did say that it was going to come with whipped cream but I believe they ran out. However, the dessert was spectacular! All in all, loved the food! Highly recommend it, especially for those looking to try authentic veggie food.
