Quick service is always a plus so I make it a point to eat here at least once a week! Follow the schedule on their Instagram and see where they're going to be today. Maku'u market on Sunday has a nice ambiance, there's nothing like great vegan food from cool people.

Delicious food! Made my vacation extra special! We met Jasiri at the Saturday market in Kaimu…read more While we weren't hungry at the time, we grabbed his card as we are always looking for good vegan food. He sent us his menu details and we ordered several items: Bigz Kebab, spring rolls, loaded nacho fries, and the "chicken" katsu. Good sized portions, good value for the money, great flavors...and we are enjoying the leftovers! We will definitely buy again! If you are looking for great vegan options in the area, I highly recommend Jasiri's food!

Chef Louie and her team delivered another unforgettable evening! From the curated menu we planned…read moretogether to the beautiful table settings and drinks, every detail felt personal. She easily accommodated a dietary restriction, and her upfront communication - menu, itemized costs, and contract confirmed by email - made everything stress-free. The food was exceptional: fresh produce from her own garden (the garnish on the chicken shooters was amazing!), tropical fruits she introduced us to and wove into the meal, and dishes I'm still thinking about days later. She even snapped photos of us during the event without being asked. Chef Louie embodies the warmth of Aloha, and she just keeps getting better - even after her Iron Chef win!

Not only was the food outstanding, but she also arranged for outdoor seating, flowers, leis, a musician, a photographer and an after-dinner fire show. All were great.

She easily accommodated various dietary restrictions and preferences among our large group, and everything was delicious. Our family will never forget this memorable evening.

We were recommended this place for good, fresh local Hawaiian Poke. We had to drive a little, since…read moreit's a little outside Hilo's city limits, but it was worth it. We were in the mood for Poke and rather than get it at the local market, we decided to check out 'Bite the Eye'. And if it kinda looks like someone cleared a field, threw down some gravel and put up a metal shed, that's exactly what they did! Albeit nicely done and very clean! A group of young folks starting a poke business and they nailed it! Good Poke, at a unique place you will remember and everyone is very nice! And since Poke was too 'exotic' for my young daughter, was happy to see they had Burgers and Nachos on the menu! I would recommend you check this place out.

Best Local Grindz in Puna - Support This Inspiring Business!…read more Last night, we finally dined in at Bite the Eye, and let me tell you--it was worth every bite! We've ordered takeout before (because let's be real, when you find local fresh fish, you don't let that go), but stepping into their shipping container-turned-restaurant was a whole different experience. Vibes? Immaculate. Food? Busted my mouth. The Setup: A Unique Industrial-Rustic Dream This isn't just a restaurant--it's a masterclass in entrepreneurship. Owners Christine and Kaiana built a fully functional commercial kitchen inside a shipping container while transforming another into a stylish dining/bar space. The open-air setup with a heavy-duty tent, rustic wood, custom murals, and ambient lighting creates the most relaxing, family-friendly dining experience we've had in a long time. And get this--they're bringing in karaoke and open mic nights soon! You already know I'm coming back ready to SING & GRIND. The Food: Fresh, Local, Made With Hustle My husband, a culinary genius (and harshest food critic), was blown away by the flavors. The fish is locally sourced, the sauces are next-level, and there's something for every palate--from fresh poke to comforting island favorites. Why You NEED to Support Them Christine and Kaiana aren't just business owners; they're hustlers fighting to do things the right way. They've jumped through every legal hoop to make this dream happen for their community, and it shows in every detail--from the seamless teamwork in the kitchen to the warm, welcoming vibe. ‍‍‍ Perfect for Families As a family of six, we don't just go anywhere. But here? Kid-friendly, safe, and stress-free. The space is tucked away from the main road, and even better--they have a friendly dog that played fetch with the kids. My Final Take? If you love fresh fish, support local, and want to experience something new, you need to go. And if you haven't yet--GO NOW. Thank me later. Bite the Eye - Puna, Hawai'i 5/5 - Will be back (and probably singing at karaoke night) This shipping container restaurant is changing the game in Puna! Fresh local fish, chill vibes, and coming soon--karaoke?! You NEED to try this place. #SupportLocal

Ladies weekend in Kailua Kona. We hired Patrick and Cherie for tapas and a full dinner…read more Let me start with the service, Cherie is absolutely the most gracious host. She took care of our every need. There was 7 ladies with various quirks. Trust me we had a lot of demands,lol. Cherie did not skip a beat, she meant each request with style and poise. Presentation, better than a 5 -Star Hotel. The table setting and flower arrangements is unsurpassable. I am so impressed. The food- I am completely speechless. Patrick is a culinary genius. The first night he took us on a gastronomic adventure of Japanese Cuisine. Then the next night had indulged in a plated 5 course meal. What comes to mind mouth-watering, delectable, savory. Thank you for making our ladies weekend memorable.

I booked Gabrielle to prepare two dinners for our group at our rental house and after the first, we…read morewere all incredibly excited for the second! Being a chef myself, I feel like I may have thrown down the gauntlet for her with asking her to create meals that were high end, telling a hawaiian story using local ingredients. Boy did she deliver! Everything she put out was visually and tastefully stunning and I feel like she really understood the assignment. Furthermore, the sense of ohana that she brought really was above and beyond and she really provided the luxury of feeling completely spoiled. You MUST try her Lillikoi Mouse!

Caution we paid for three meals and only got one. Communication was spotty. Here's the scoop:…read more I booked dinner for Monday 4/11, brunch Thursday 4/14 and dinner for the same day. I spoke with Gabrielle weeks before we arrived and we planned the meals. She emailed me a confirmation and I sent her 50% via Venmo. Big mistake! The day of the first meal I hadn't heard for from her so I text and called her and learned that she would be sending her sous chefs because she was overbooked. The meal was excellent, her sous chefs set the table beautifully, asked us details about about the meal such as food allergies and preferences. The food was delicious. It was great. The morning of the next two meals I couldn't reach her. No one showed up. I texted her and let her know that by my calculations she still owed me $600. She called and explained she had a personal emergency. I'm waiting for her to Venmo me. Update- After returning home we received a Venmo for the $600 so we are set.
