    Crispy Noodle & vegetable w/gaugee

    Always order from here. Portions are always good. Prices are awesome. Food I've ordered always tastes great and fresh.

    Spam Musubi
    Briana B.

    It's my first time in Hawaii and both my s/o and I have never had musubi before he's also never had spam in general so I wanted him to try it. He hates seaweed but he quite enjoyed this. We both did. It was really good. This was all we ordered though but I would definitely order it again.

    Chicken Katsu Curry Plate
    Summer G.

    Super stoked with this order. The serving amount was perfect for the prize I paid. The chicken was cooked to perfection. There was enough curry gravy on the katsu, not too much where it becomes soggy. The mac salad could have better though. Overall, PRETTY FRICKEN BOMB!

    Teriyaki beef, kalbi ribs, bbq chicken, 2 scoops rice, and Mac salad. Enough for at least 2 meals.

    Typical food court in a mall establishment where you place your order at the counter, pay the bill, and have a seat at one of their tables until they bring your food to you. Typical except for one thing: the food was REALLY good and plentiful. I had the orange chicken plate. It comes with a huge side of delicious chow mein. The orange chicken was covered in a perfect sauce. I liked this Orange Chicken way more than Panda Express. My wife's mixed plate came with teriyaki beef, kalbi ribs, and bbq chicken, plus 2 scoops of rice and a very tasty mac salad side. I almost never brag about how good a food court place is, but I REALLY encourage you to try Hawaii BBQ Deli in the Prince Kuhio Plaza mall a couple stores down from Zippy's. Disclaimer: I am not related to this establishment in any way.

    Musubi and a Bento plate with rice, fish, chicken, beef and spam.

    We got some items here for lunch to go. We liked the BBQ items, especially the bento (rice, fish, spam, chicken and beef). Great value for the money and very fast. It is located inside the mall.

    The have the best chinese food. It was made fresh, cooked to order. We ordered the Chow Mein without vegetables, it was still flavorful. The Kung Pao Chicken was well seasoned and the sauce had a nice kick to it without being overly spicy. The Orange Chicken was good and not too sweet. The Mongolian Beef was the best we had on this island. The day before I had the tofu with vegetables which was also very good but I forgot to take a picture. We also got a side of Gau Gee, one of the pieces is pictured with the Mongolian Beef. This will be our go to place for Chinese food.

    Full smelly trash bag next to register

    Came in June 9th at 2:10pm to get RIPPED OFF! Lunch menu clearly states item+ rice AND green or macaroni salad. I chose to upgrade my rice to fried for $2 more then I asked for a green salad as my salad choice. She told me NO. She said if I pay extra to get fried rice she keeps my salad!?!? Even though the menu says nothing about having to give her your salad. I told her that was not OK, I paid for salad and I needed it to balance my diet as diabetic. She did not care. She would not give her name. She said there was no manager at all. While waiting for someone to come out of the back to discuss this I noticed how filthy this place was. Full, smelly bad of trash by register, many areas and nooks not mopped whatsoever in a long time. When I said I would be calling health delt I was given a tiny container, just big enough for the few slices of Cucumber inside. This is NOT a salad. This place had terrible tasting food after all of that. I'll never be back and I'll avoid your kona location because this business doesn't seem to care about ethics, cleanliness or their potential long term customers at all. Also, this is NOT a deli and NOT a BBQ!

    Mochiko chicken plate with two scoops of white rice and Mac salad.
    A R.

    We took a chance and didn't regret it. The portions are big and will definitely get you full. We ordered the mochiko chicken and garlic chicken plate we choose two scoops of white rice and Mac salad. Both of the plates are flavorful and do not need any additional sauces aside from sriracha if you prefer. I would come here again. Although, I would advise to ask if any of the plates or dishes are spicy, since the menu doesn't state the dish/plate are spicy. The garlic chicken plate doesn't mention any spicy levels but came mildly spicy it was delicious. The mochiko chicken isn't served spicy.

There was also live music with a lady playing guitar solo and singing! Service was amazing! We never had to wait long to order/get the bill. We were most impressed by the fact that the waitress made sure to split our Hilo local plate into two plates to make it much easier to share! We almost thought we had received two orders because of how well-plated they were. - Poke tower (8/10): Solid choice for an appetizer! There were ample portions of poke, and the flavors were nice. Not a super stand out dish though. - Hilo local plate (9.5/10): If you want to taste a wide range of Hawaiian cuisine in one dish, I would highly recommend getting this one! The Kalbi ribs were sooo good! They were juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. The Kalua pork was pretty good, and both meats paired well with the rice which had an interesting savory haupia sauce drizzled on it. The mango chili slaw and pineapple salsa added a nice tang to balance everything out. - Triple lilikoi pie (5/10): Wayyy too sweet and sugary for our liking, and you can barely taste the lilikoi flavor. We ended up just picking at the graham cracker crust and couldn't finish the rest. It seemed like one of those desserts that are premade unfortunately, and we wish we hadn't ordered this dessert.

The menu felt very "meh"...nothing particularly exciting or memorable. The cocktails looked great in photos, so we ordered the piña colada flight, but it tasted like there was little to no rum in it. Pretty presentation, but very mediocre overall. Food was just okay. The burger wasn't bad, but definitely not anything special. The fried shrimp dish was disappointing and lacked flavor. The big letdown was the ambiance. We were seated facing the street and parking lot the entire time ...no view...., just sad street. Overall, it didn't live up to the hype. Not terrible, but definitely not worth going out of your way for. The staff were all very nice though. Service friendly.

The food was good, but for the…read moreprice, the entire experience - not even the old, nonfunctional classic car out front - was worth it. BUT, the Jackie Rey's in Hilo has now become our go-to fine restaurant in Hilo town. The building is classic. An old town Hilo bank, with the vault intact. High ceilings, comfortable tables and decore and an artistic antique wooden bar that would be a gem in the crown of any European city. The management and personnel are the most wonderful people. Always happy to accommodate you in the best way they can. After one kamaaina visit the servers will know your name. They'll make you feel welcome and that you are a part of their experience too, something that is nearly impossible to find in other town dining. They have rewards programs for kamaaina which includes a point system that gives you significant savings on your next visit. The food is first rate, from the pupus to the main dishes to the desserts. Sauced and presented in five star fashion, without feeling pretenious. We will be their peskiest and most loyal customer as long as we are in the area. Kudos to Jackie Rey's Hilo.

If you dine here and are not a big person don't get a booth table as it's the most uncomfortable seating I've ever experienced. The seat is way too far from the table and I needed to lean forward and sit on the edge of the seat. I would recommend getting a table its chair so you be able to adjust yourself to the distance from the table. Server was just Ok and with them placing a water decanter on the table for refill they didn't come around as often. The decanter water has no ice so whatever ice you have in your cup to cool the water. Last time eating at this establishment was better and my only complaint was the window seats next to the picture window and the flys that was buzzing there. Only thing is again there were two big flies buzzing the windows and I had to waved them away. The doors are always shut and only when customers walk in could the flys get in. Staff should walk around before opening and get rid of them. We entered about 5:10 PM so it was opened for just 10 minutes and shouldn't have flys. Air conditioning was on but the temperature was a bit warm and a cooler temperature of maybe 10 degrees be perfect. I had the mochico Ono and it was just ok tasting but on the plate presentation was nice. My wife had the pork chops and she really liked it but said was just a little over cooked. I did try a small sample and to me it was just ok also. ambiance in the restaurant is nice and most of the staff were very attentive. The server we had wasn't and I needed to Get his attention to get my bill even though he had passed multiple times and didn't or should have noticed we were done dining. Probably not be dining again at this establishment again and do know of better dining spots in Hilo.
