Very clean, modern spot, a friendly family business! We had two chicken dishes- the karaage thighs, and a yakitori bento, and both were great! Plentiful, freshly fried (we were a little late, they have 2pm closing but they served us cheerfully). Service was amazing, and the other customers seem to be regulars! When the server had a moment, she told us that this is a Japanese franchise, and they also serve some of mom's special sides, which they have on a digital list. That's going to be our go to next time we are in town. What a find!!!

I first discovered Minit Stop on Maui, as my coworker told me about Minit Stop, and how good the Frrrrrrried Chicken was at this convenience store. Fast forward to the Big Island, and one day while I was driving out to Kapa'au, I noticed a Minit Stop and the way. Since then, several Minit stops have popped up all over the Big Island, and the Minit Stop I went to in Hilo (most recently), I must stay this convenience store was quite spacious, and beautiful. Located just across the street from the KTA Super Store along Puainako, you can easily find this Minit Stop. The Minit Stop convenience store has your standard stuffs like - drinks, fast food & snacks, toiletries and of course their FAMOUS Frrrrrrried Chicken! Stopped in for a 3 piece box, where you get a drumstick & two thighs. With the 3 piece box, you also get some giant deep fried potato wedges. What can say about da grub? For fast food Frrrrrrried Chicken, I list them up there with my favorites like - Popeye's, Pioneer Chicken, Zippy's, & Vons Chicken. Minit Stop version can rival a lot of fast food Chicken joints, as their Frrrrrrried Chicken was on point. Service here was fast & friendly. One thing on my end (which I dropped the ball on) was not requesting for some napkins, & a few packets of ketchup for my potato wedges. Lol! In da mood for Frrrrrrried Chicken? Give Minit Stop a try!

There were various options for everyone and easy ordering on the kiosk with pictures, which was super helpful. The dining area is spacious and breezy. I got a green river and portugese sausage loco moco, which are two of my favorite things! A lot of places don't have green river, so it was a pleasant surprise to find it being sold here. The Portuguese sausage was juicy and the gravy was the perfect consistency for the loco moco. I loved how many different meat options they had for their loco mocos. Definitely recommend coming here for a quick bite!

K's maintains that claim with flying colors. Awesome gravy, perfectly cooked easy over eggs, and decent hamburger patties make this a must for that similar loco moco craze that I experienced during this recent trip home to Hilo. I promise you, you can't go wrong here. Lots of parking, lots of covered seating, very friendly service, lots to choose from menu-wise, and bonus being attached to a liquor store (Kadota's). It's been years since I've been here, I'm so happy to see they're still around. Slightly disappointed i have to order mac salad separately, and a double loco is mot the standard large plate lunch size, rather a slight smaller. That's ok, honestly, I shouldn't be eating so much stuff that is the loco moco for one meal anyway, much less having one 3 days in a row. But, I'll be back when I'm back. Delicious.

And they'll hold your food until closing, even if they run out of food and close up shop early. Small okazuya that opens early and closes early. My favorite foods: STUFFED CABBAGE: I think it is a Friday special and this is a late find new favorite. I love stuffed cabbage, the kind that reminds you of old school kine flavors, and this is it. SOOOOO GOOD. WARABI SALAD: I love their warabi but it's also because I don't like seafood. I think it's a weekday only thing but you should check. They use kamoboko (fishcake) instead of all the other seafood so it's a mild seafood flavor only, so I can live with that. The warabi is so fresh and tasty. SPAM MUSUBI: I know it sounds boring and you can get this anywhere but theirs is my favorite - flavorful and perfect. and you can tell it was made with love. I don't care for the fancy ones but they have the deep fried ones that come with sauce and everything but their spam musubi is just THE BEST. NORI CHICKEN: so good. Crispy and flavorful. Juicy. And still boneless. Other things: fried chicken is good, but to me it's just fried chicken. They have hash - the regular kind and the deep fried croquette. They're all ok. So many other things I'd like to try. They are small, they are crowded, but they are always super friendly. On the phone they are super helpful and friendly too. This is my #1 stop in Hilo. Tough one, considering it's next to Two Ladies Mochi. Which is probably my second stop in Hilo. Street parking. If you have to park across the street, be careful. I know a lot of people jaywalk, but the crosswalk really isn't that far at the light.

Finally tried this okazuya spot on our last trip to Hilo in February…read more I'd say its a little intimidating to the uninitiated (as I was). A steamed up glass case with hot items as you walk in, no readily apparent menu until you look to the left wall where theres a barely legible white board. Barely enough room for more than a handful of people inside, which is why there be a line outside. At 8am, inventory was low, few selections, we were able to get fried chicken and fried shrimp. We heard a customer in front of us ask for the musubi (not on the menu and not visible), so we got that too. I thought the food was 'pretty good'. I'm clearly not their intended target customer (i.e., wanting to get in super early for warm food for the day). Prices reasonable. Friendly service.
