Anyone growing up in Hawaii knows about One-Ton chips, and with good reason. These deep fried…read morestrips of won ton pi (wrapper) are such an addictive snack, the perfect blend of crunchy, salty, and sweet. There have been many times I've opened a 4 oz. bag and finished in a flash wanting more, so good thing they sell 15 oz. resealable bags too. At this factory they sell furikake flavored One-Ton chips which to my personal preference are a tad too sweet, I think I'd stick with the original. They also sell cookies which I didn't get a chance to try but heard are also delicious. The outside of the building is bland and you might miss it driving by. Press the Ring doorbell and someone will answer promptly. If you're lucky enough to go when they're making chips you'll enjoy delicious smells, and if you're really lucky one of the aunties will bring you hot fresh chips to taste. Holy smokes, there are few things better than that!

I grew up enjoying their one-ton chips even to this day I still do! I do enjoy their specialty…read more furikake mix. I been to their factory/warehouse during the holidays with family that came from California and Montana!

Carl was getting gas as I walked up to ask where we were and how to get back she handed me a Cookie from a box on the front seat and took the time out of her day to take us back to the Cruise Ship.

We made it back to the Ship and home safe and I will keep the cookie in my Curio Cabinet to remind me how Carla and the Hawaiian people are so thoughtful. Aloha AL Pedrani-Rio Vista, CA.

Stopped here while visiting Hilo and got to-go. There was a lot of food in a serving and we…read morethought we wouldn't eat it all, but we did (besides the rice). I got the Furkaki fish with green salad. If i was basing my rating only on this dish, I'd give it 5 stars. Yum! It was piping hot and it came with a thousand island dressing that i think was home made and it was way better on the fish than the tartar sauce. So i ate the salad and the fish together with that sauce. Amazing! My husband had the chicken with curry on it. This was good, but not great. The Chicken was sliced too thin so there was more breading than chicken. And there wasn't quite enough curry sauce on top of it to really get a good curry flavor. There was a lot of it so my husband didn't even eat all of it. He got the Ube side and it was really interesting for someone not from Hawaii. But I really liked it. More about the place: it's a little market and they sell all kinds of dried fruit and other spices and things. The have a counter in the back you order at. It took a bit to make the food, but it was fresh! The seating area is outside and they have picnic tables with umbrellas. We ended up taking it to eat at the beach. If I'm ever back in Hilo, I would definitely go back for the fish!
