Their fish sandwich is awe-inspiring. An unassuming fast-food bun, a plain leaf of lettuce, and a toothsome, lightly breaded fresh-caught fish filet. Just amazing. On those rare occasions when i don't want a fish sandwich, chicken katsu curry, curry stew or Sweetie's laulau (each on its own special day) keep me happy. read more

This place is good for a quick stop when you're on the way from Hilo to Kona! You can have something small or big or even just a milkshake! I would return. read more

Delicious Dairy Queen type ice cream Blizzards and cones etc. I had the small (which is like a DQ med) banana split in a cup. Delish and great value. read more

They have the best slush floats ever! If you go on Tuesdays, they have a yummy chicken hekka. Everyone is nice and the food is good too.

I actually like their hamburgers a lot and I really like their fries - nice and crispy and they come in a little cup you can put in your cup holder. If you get a meal you can get your Sundae now, or a token for some other time. Nice. The Ice Cream Sundae on a stick is yummy too. read more

You can get lunch during breakfast hours. I love that. When you need something for dinner, just make rice and you can get a quart of chili here and it's a great price. read more

I always go here and get a fish sandwich with french fries then for dessert I get a large cone dipped in Oreos and macadamia nuts!!!Simple,Fast, and Ono. read more

Had the slush float and also the oreo orbit! Both did not disappoint. The soft serve ice cream is on point. Perfect treat on a hot day.

This is our favorite spot for sweet treats. Always friendly and fast! Their ice cream is very reminiscent of Dairy Queen soft serve...it's nearly identical, which I love. Excellent blizzard-esque (I forgot what they call them) treats, banana splits, and dilly bar type desserts, but my favorite is the frozen dipped bananas. They use local apple bananas and you can't beat the .89 cent price point. They can also roll them in mac nuts for extra crunch and flavor. I've never had anything but dessert here, but it will always be our local ice cream spot! read more

I had the Katsu/curry, it was delish! My husband had the fried chicken, he said it was good, he liked the crunchy texture. The banana split was a little smaller than expected though read more

stopped here for some ice cream because I saw the commercial on TV. It was very bland and boring. Just not enough candies and sauces for the ice cream. Very boring. Not coming here again. read more

They always always get your order wrong! And you don't realize it until you get to your destination and something is missing or your order is wrong!!!! They should confirm it when they pass it to you at the window!!! read more

I've always loved Kozmic Kones since when it was still Dairy Queen. Plate lunches are good, but I typically order a double cheeseburger deluxe with a burrito snack. Definitely not healthy, but they are yummy. Many I'd the Dairy Queen desserts are sold, but with different names. read more

Went last night, drive-thru was busier than normal. Ordered curry stew bowl and beef stew bowl, cashier confirmed our order. Pulled up to the window and was informed they were out of white rice if we wanted brown rice. WTH? They all of a sudden out of rice. Poor planning and communication between front servers and back kitchen cookers? I mean who runs out of rice? And this was at 7pm. The curry stew had NO taste too, the beef stew wasn't bad, had more potatoes than anything else. read more

When you want to eat a plate lunch and fast, this is the place to go. I love their Teri hamburger and chicken katsu. Prices are cheap. I love drive in type of places for fast food over McDonald's or Burger King. This place has awesome sundaes, blizzards, and slush floats too if you have a sweet tooth. read more

Their bento plate and hamburger are to die for--YUM, but their pre-shook shakes will kill you--YUCK. Reasonably priced for Hawaii per capita, suicidal for Laotians. read more

Another classic local place, I've been coming here on and off for a long time! Great place to grab a scoop. But if your going to eat, either get the Korean snack or go all in with the Bento Fish, Chicken, Beef & Spam over rice. read more

Pretty good; just right when you need a drive-in soft serve cone. The Mac nut roll-around is better than it sounds.

Worst hamburger steak ever. Gravy was cold. Hamburger was cold and you can tell this was something out of a box and they put on onions that wasn't even cooked... disgusted. read more

Yaaaawwwnnnn... Went there for the first time. Ice cream was so so. Hot foods are just another low scoring high fat, high calorie, artery clogging, choke cholesterol, local boy, "cuz I stay hungry fo grinds li'dat" comfort food stop. Should have gone to Island Naturals instead. Pricier, but safer. read more

This is the only fast food place I give in to. I love their fish burgers and french fries - always piping hot! Very reasonable, friendly service, and a drive thru to boot. They even have well painted murals inside! read more

The service was quick & friendly. My fiancé ordered a strawberry slush float and he inhaled it! He ordered a medium and it came in a 24 oz cup with vanilla soft serve ice cream and strawberry slushy. He's already planning his next trip back for all of the other flavors! read more

The slush freezes are great and the food is great, too. Love the chicken katsu, which is even better as the curry katsu plate lunch special (Saturdays, I think). The fries are fantastic. My family swears by the chocolate shakes. My favorite lately is the chocolate dipped cone. Mmmmmm! read more

Great Ice Cream, get a large cone half Oreo half macadamia nuts! Also get a frozen banana just for fun...

A diamond in the ruff! We had the "orbit", which is similar to a Blizzard from DQ, and it was the best thing I have ever had! Fresh pineapple and banana mixed in with the ice cream was amazing! I'm glad we didn't pass this up! read more

Loved the soft serve ice cream cones here. Lunch options are basic and ok. Good for a quick feed at a low price.

wen order da teri beef plate regulat not mini and one chicken katsu plate....ho ai wen git good deal wit da price, da great portion and delicilosness...fabulous! mahalo kozmic cones...ai going come back.fo sure. Support Locals! read more

Only been here twice in the past 8 years. I live Kona side so I never really stop by Kozmic Cones. BUT both times Ive been here, I wasnt disappointed. I havent tried their plate lunches or food but both times I've been, I got the oreo cookie cone, SO GOOD!!!!! Next time I go Hilo Ill def have to try their food. Also, it's dine in or drive-thru so thats a plus. Theres a large mural inside with ufos which was cool. Pretty speedy service too. Will be back =) read more

I come here every Thursdays. My favorite plate lunch plate in hilo. Shrimp tempura plate with a scoop of extra rice.... Winnahs And Friendly staff, always so sweet read more

I am from Iowa and my kids and I were looking for a dairy queen. However Hilo doesn't have one. This was a nice pleasant surprise. I love the soft serve. I got the nutty cone. It was good but you have to eat it fast or it will melt unless you ask for a complimentary glass. It was delicious and hit the spot. read more

Loved the cone rolled in mac nuts. The slush was out of this world. Will go back for sure!!

it was what it was, just stopped for a soft serve cone, the ice cream was so soft however it was melting down the cone before they even handed it off.. someone with me got the m&m orbits and there was a handful of peanuts mixed in and again the ice cream was so soft it was more like a thin milky shake, pretty unappetizing we ended up throwing it all away.. read more

This is the best soft serve in Hilo! The nutty cone rolled in mac nuts is amazing ( but messy) and the sundaes are just the right size. If you're in town, stop by or make a detour even! read more

Got two cones, a chocolate dipped and an Oreo dipped one. I've never had a chocolate dipped cone that didn't burst at the seams and this was no exception, leaking from the second we got it. The Oreo dipped one was very tasty except when it got to the cone. The cone tasted like it was layered in salt and I nearly threw up eating it. So the ice cream was good, but man that cone sucked read more

I drive across town specifically for a nutty cone & the most generous portion of the best chicken katsu in town. It is flavorful, meaty, juicy & enough for the next day. Service is efficient. read more

I like that you can get a plate lunch through the drive thru. The adobo is really good. I also love their melon slush!

They're named Kozmic Cone and boast a sign with an ice cream cone, but they literally don't have real ice cream.... carrying only one flavor (vanilla), which is also soft serve, I was mostly disappointed by this false advertising. We didn't try the meals since we were there looking for ice cream. The soft serve cone itself wasn't bad, but you could get the same thing but larger and cheaper at McDonalds. They have a couple toppings to put on the soft serve (and in shakes) so at least there's that. Shakes are a good size. Wanted to like you. read more

So originally I was going to rate this a 3, but then read the reviews for melon freeze and chili and decided to try them before rating it. My belly is full and I'm glad I gave them another chance. The freeze float is soft serve ice cream with slushy, I got the melon and it was good. It was almost as good as a Melona ice cream bar, but not quite. Hawaii sells Melona ice cream bars and a few Asian stores in the San Fran Bay Area, this taste very similar. Overall I was happy with it and ate it almost all before my food came out. Today the special was chili and fried chicken and it comes standard with rice and potato Mac salad. The chili was really sweet chili, which is how I make it and love, you could taste the sugar. To me it was better than the ice cream. I had the fried chicken last week and even though the flavor was hot you could tell it wasn't perfectly fresh or hot, that was not the case today. It was hot, buttery crispy skin with a sweet hint. It was delicious. I don't like their potato Mac salad at all, but my dogs enjoy that I don't like it :) I got the curry stew a month or do ago and I was shocked my bag weighed between 3-5 pounds, no joke. Good, but lots of fat. Oh and my box today probably weighed a good 3 pounds. Tons of food! read more

As a work of kozmic cones our food is one of the best our ice cream is also one of the best in town.. we clean our machines unlike McDonald's we actually take it apart.. our orbits we cut our candies fresh we don't get it pre cut or what not. Even our strawberries we cut it and mix it for the sundae topping.. where else can u get a cone rolled in macnuts, Oreos, sprinkles even better yet dipped in chocolate then rolled in those.. I'm just saying the truth.. if u haven't tried kozmics you don't know what ur missing read more

Ordered the melon freeze and it was terrible. I expected slush, but instead, we got green melon tasting foam.
