The consistency of this two man band is incredible and appreciated especially during a pandemic! Kudos aside, the ginger chicken karaage bao wrap is one of the most delicious menu items on the island. I live here so this is no one visit in a lifetime review. It's best had on the spot as the ethereal bao wrap melts in your mouth but also in your hands after about 20 minutes. Get the salad the greens are impeccable and the homemade dressing/sandwich topping delightful. Lemon honey ginger

There were several food trucks at an event but when I saw the title and smelled the smoke, I made a…read morebee-line for this truck. I really wanted to try the brisket and ribs, but that wasn't possible unless I bought two plates. Chef suggested the brisket, so I got that with two sides of corn. Would the rather flimsy fork and no knife be enough? Oh yeah! The brisket just about fell apart. It was moist, which is hard to achieve; usually it's dried out. It was lightly sauced, enough to complement the meat, not drown it. The corn ears were juicy, also not dried out. I'll be looking for this truck next time I'm on the Hilo side! Gotta try those ribs.

Highly recommend.

Only thing I wish I did differently was order less food. Wish I knew how huge the fries are. We got two along with everything else. My fault for not asking more questions. Of course the business is not gonna stop you from overdoing your order. I ended up wasting half my gyro and fries along with the half the desserts. Might be back for the Philly one day.

It does take a minute to get your food, I chatted with the guy from the $25 haircuts van for a while as I waited on one occasion. Shout out to haircut guy, you a real one, hope your lady's doing better with her choices in her life. Anyway the burgers were awesome every time I went. People who complain about the wait, slow down a little, it's like one guy in there busting ass as best he can. The price is a little expensive but the burgers are so good, I did not feel burgers or fries are too small, and I didn't feel it was out of line with other small business prices. This is not McDonalds buying 10 billion beefs at discount. Burgers are deliciously reminiscent of In-N-Out burgers, but the fries at the Bus are better because In-N-Out fries notoriously suck. Sometimes the bus is closed when you weren't expecting but lol it's Puna that's how things are sometimes! I love you Burger Bus. Still thinking about you 7 months later. E hoʻi mai ana au.

Just remember, anything worth having, is worth waiting for. So, the food did take some time, but that was no worry for us. In a world where everything is fast pace we could all use some slowing down. Besides, if you're vacationing here, which we are, then there really is no reason to rush. We enjoyed family time while we waited. And worth the wait it was!! If you want a delicious, juicey burger, then stop here!

Now they are double the price. This place is well known for making bang for the buck pastrami sandwiches. Mostly every one in line is ordering sandwiches. You know the sandwich must be good because my mom loves them and she is picky. The sandwich is big enough that you can eat half for lunch and the other half for a late night snack. It is still delicious at twice the price.

Before arriving to Hawaii, we found on Reddit post that most people recommended coming here for…read moretheir Loco Moco. My boyfriend and I had finished a few small hikes at Hawaii Volcano National Park and decided to stop here for a late lunch before heading back towards the Kona side. We found that the restaurant was poorly ventilated as it was hot and the doors were just kept open, and the wait for the food was a long time. There were a few other people before us who had been waiting for their food as well, and by the time it was our turn it was already 45 minutes to 1 hour. The Loco Moco was not what I had expected, the hamburger patties were dry and there wasn't anything that stood out flavor-wise. The macaroni salad was okay, but we both agreed that L&L tasted better. We also got a spam musubi, but it did not taste as good as other musubis, there was just too much rice and the spam lacked seasoning and sauce. Overall, this was not worth the wait, they have other items on their menu that you could try, but expect to wait for a lot longer than usual just to get your food.

Great food! Great service! Great getting to know the owners Robyn and Mike!…read more On our first visit to Hilo, coming here was such a great experience into the feel of the community. Robyn and Mike were so hospitable and friendly that we talked about the conversation we had long after we left. The Korean Drama dog was delicious! What started as "let's find a place for a quick bite", turned into way more. If you're in the area and want delicious food that's a local "mom n pop" place, come here! We'll definitely be back

Not many options in the area but all you need is one good one and this is definitely a good one. Pi'ilani Kitchen shares a building with a retail/souvenir shop and you order from inside the building and food comes out from a literal hole in the wall. We got the roast beef special, which was packed with tender roast beef (think circa 2017 before shrinkflation went nuts), American cheese, caramelized onions in a hoagie roll. It was also sort of a French dip as the bread absorbed a sizable amount of tasty cooking liquid. This however, made the sandwich a bit of a soggy mess at the end. A tasty, cheesy, soggy mess. Once you start, you can't stop to put the sandwich down. They give you a fork for a reason. We went with chips over ulu (breadfruit) macaroni salad. There's a handful of unmarked stalls in the front with a few tables of seating. Bathroom stall exists but it's more like a shed they built around a toilet and sink with unfinished walls. It is clean though and stocked with toilet paper.
