    Salt & Pepper Calamari
    Sesameball T.

    Haven't eaten this place so long. I know they served good Roast Duck but I want to try something different this time... however Big mistake I still can't understand how they served terrible food for paying customers ? We ordered several dish but Salt & pepper Calamari and Singapore mei fun was so bad. Calamari was way too over cooked, no flavors and hard as rocks. Singapore Mei fun was salty, noodle was soggy and mussy. Too much cabbage and no Bean sprouts. Totally different as what I expected. I hope they should learn how to make good food for paying customers. We not gonna pay for garbage.

    We were here for late lunch, and walked in, inside it's a little mess, with boxes all over the floor. But we are hungry so we ordered. The food came quickly, i get chicken lettuce, it's dry and you suppose to add their store source and wrapped with lettuce, it's then delicious! I used up all my lettuce when i just ate half of the chicken, so i ask the waiter to see whether i could get more lettuce. She said 1 dollar for one lettuce piece, i think it's a little crazy, gave up!

    Chicken Chow Mein
    Myra G.

    Found this place from the Valet attendant from the Grand Naniloa. While I was looking st the menu I saw Duck soup with veggies. I had to try it. I wanted to try their chow mein too. So I asked if I could get duck and veggie soup without the noodles. The duck veggie soup was delicious. I loved the broth and the duck wasn't fatty. It was very tasty. I would indulge in that again! Since I ordered To-Go they packaged the veggies and the duck separately. The chow mein was alright. It was good but it didn't taste like Bay Area chow mein, which I was craving. So it's not their fault I thought it was ok. I can't believe expect to find the same style cooking since I'm in another state. For the Big Island it was delicious. Obviously I couldn't eat l of it but I had a fridge in my room, so it worked out to eat it the next day. Service was amazing! The two ladies that day were so friendly and happy. I appreciate their flexibility in asking no noodles in my duck noodle soup. The place has seating and accommodates social distancing. It was clean too. I'm coming for that duck soup!!

    Garlic fried chicken
    Chelsy F.

    Good restaurant with plenty of seating and parking. They are usually very busy and service may be delayed as they seem to be short staffed. The food here is delicious! We had the garlic chicken, honey walnut shrimp, vegetable chow fun and summer roll. The garlic fried chicken is off the charts! Fried extra crispy with tons of garlic. The summer roll is also delicious. The honey walnut shrimp wasn't it for me. I like my home walnut shrimp coated and fried and then topped with the honey sauce. This shrimp came out just pan fried with the sauce over it. No batter coating. The vegetable chow fun was delicious as well. I would definitely go back but would opt out of getting the shrimp again.

    This place never fails I can wait as long as it takes. Everyone is very friendly no matter how busy they are.

    Cake noodles were terrible. They used to be good several years ago but it seems like they've just lost their touch and push out quantity more than quality. The staff was very pleasant so i'm sad that they would be proud to serve the food that they do

    Ask for the Duck Pho
    Renee D.

    1+1=Ono Grinds Store front and ambiance isn't this place's strong points. But if you want a good meal after a swim at Carl Smith Beach, or before heading out of Hilo, this place offers good food and service with Aloha! Our friend who has lived on the Eastside since the 80's said this is the place for great duck pho... not sure if it's on the menu, but it is worth asking for! Basil and bean sprouts were fresh, soup was hot and the duck was savory and plentiful. Really good price, we'll be back again!

    Great food and friendly staff, I have been eating there since 2006 and have not been disappointed yet, get the special fried rice, now I'm hungry, think I'll make a take-out order.

My first red flag was when the table in the front had a hair in their food .... But hey that's beside the point. The shrimp fried rice had 7 shrimp...7!!! It's not seasoned at all just egg and boiled shrimp , not even a lil green onion or soy sauce ..then the duck was like greasy and lacked luster and I asked for the duck "sauce "/ drippings and I was given hosin sauce ( ew) but I ate some because I'm not wasting my money lol. Did I mention I payed $58....... And for that much I would've expected the customer service to be top tier ... and no shocker the food matched the customer service 0/10 again. I'm not mad just disappointed. First restaurant in Hilo -0 /10 .

The restaurant itself seems like your typical Chinese restaurant setup with some booths along the window and larger round tables in the middle. It is a smaller restaurant, so maybe 10ish tables are inside max. We try to mix things up every time we come, but we always get the salt pepper pork ribs and the hot and sour soup! I find most places are either a hot or miss with the soup, but they are definitely my favorite place that makes it! And the pork ribs are the best. As my mom puts it, they're the perfect accompaniment to any meal since they're so crispy and tasty. She even commented she would get just the ribs so she can "snack" on it while watching the Super Bowl. Service can be a bit on the slower side, but every time we came, there's only been one person in the front answering the phone while catering to the people dining in and I believe they make the food when you order it so definitely not a quick place to eat if you're short on time but I find the wait always worth it.

The servers were running around all night, and it seemed that they were a little bit understaffed. However, they still did their best to attend to us, and food came out promptly. As most other pho shops, they provide plenty of bean sprouts, mint, lemons, and sauces (oyster sauce/Sriracha) to enjoy. Pho Rare Beef (6.5/10) - the broth was good, flavorful, rich and salty as expected from Vietnamese pho. As this spot is kind of a Viet/Chinese fusion, don't go in expecting the best pho of your life. However, the broth is definitely delicious and will fix your pho cravings - only comment is regarding the beef itself. Some of the pieces were definitely a little thicker, tougher, and at points difficult to chew. The beef was not then these sliced into the brisket that I'm used to finding, but that's OK Overall, pretty good pho spot on the Big Island with quite tasty broth. Only wish that the beef was either thinner and easier to chew, or more tender.

We showed up right when they opened at 5:30 p.m. without reservations on a Wednesday evening and was luckily able to get seated at the bar. Between the two of us, we ordered a bunch of items off the "small" section of the menu, including the smokey sashimi, sizzling tetsuyaki poke, smoked tonnato caesar, crispy rice, and their special of the day -- agedashi wontons. Of the items we ordered, the crispy rice and the agedashi wontons were my favorite items. The crispy rice is priced per piece, and you'll certainly want to order at least two per person, because one is simply not enough. The rice block is fried a beautiful golden brown -- similar to a hash brown. The crispy rice pairs perfectly with the ono mixture on top of it. With the agedashi wontons, I initially thought the filling was a bit under-seasoned at first, but when enjoyed with the broth, the wonton comes out tasting perfectly seasoned. The broth had so much umami to it and the wonton had the perfect crunch to it I always love a good Caesar salad and the one here is spectacular. With anchovy croutons, shaved cured egg yolk, and smoked ahi dressing, you're getting some creative, premium ingredients in this salad and everything works so well together. Even if you're not a salad person, I would definitely recommend giving this dish a try. On top of delicious food, the service at Moon & Turtle was spectacular. Food was promptly brought out after we placed our order, pacing didn't ever feel rushed, our water cups were never empty, and our server checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. I would definitely stop by Moon & Turtle again if I'm in Hilo.

Bruddah Jarrod, MAHALO fo' your AWESOME post of your GRINDZ, cuz that's what led me here at Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen! Located at a large strip mall where the KTA Super Store is located on Puainako, you can find Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen along with other eateries & cellular phone businesses. Da line was supah long when I arrived for lunch today (das one good sign), but when I finally made it into the restaurant, I could see so many ono choices. Upon looking over da hot food items, I decided to get da two item plate with choice of starch. I got the following - Lemon Chicken, Beef Broccoli *I don't eat beef, but ate all the veggies*, 1/2 Fried Rice & 1/2 Chow Mein Noodles. What can I say about da grub? Ono kine comfort food at it's BESTEST!!! Loved da Lemon Chicken, nice & crispy with a great lemon sauce. I even put some of dat sauce on my fried rice! Buggah was ono! I liked the veggies with da beef broccoli, and it was the perfect side with all my starch. I saw a sign that said Chow Fun is sometimes available, but unfortunately when I stopped by today, I did not see any chow fun. Easy access to Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen because it's situated in a large strip mall with plenty of free parking. No inside dining, as Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen is strictly "take-out, grab & go". If ya wanna eat right away, no worry beef curry, get plenty covered picnic tables located just outside of da business! Jonesing for local kine Chinese comfort food?
