I hadnt been in here in a few years, and driving past I went OH YA, I FORGOT! we were hungry, walking in from the pouring down rain I was VERY warmly greeted (I was only customer) super friendly. Their menu has a 'mushroom chicken' which I ordered. They verified 'rice and salad?', of course! They have a good sized menu up on the wall. Of course prices are going up, we gots inflation ya know. Our lunch came out quick. The sauce was BOMB, so good. Went great with the steamed rice. I thought maaayyyyybbbbeeeee there could've been a little more chicken. Plastic to-go containers make me sad, but that seems to be the general rule here. I dont know how I'd forgotten about this place, will make sure to visit our next trip to Big Island. Recommended! read more

Great little "hole in the wall" and I say that with a lot of love. It's such a charming unassuming location in front of a warehouse. Limited parking. Food is made fresh! Such a variety of options but we opted for the daily specials. The fried mahi mahi was amazing! The staff are so friendly and helpful! Little gem of a spot!! read more

BEST Wor Wonton Soup in Hilo: Lots of Chicken, Shrimp, Dumplings and Veggies, though I judge by the broth, which is ONO! (I do recommend ordering without Pork) 9.6/10 They also have a killa House Chow Fun! These two go perfect together. Very budget friendly, but because they are a local restaurant, and they make to order, I strongly recommend tipping them well, even to go (10% is a good idea, though it's well worth 15%), you'll see. Take food to go. There is very limited seating (enough for 8 people inside). Very close by to Reed's Bay or Onekahakaha Beach, and makes a nice meal beachside. read more

Before I go, I thought the restaurant is right next to beach, because of the name of restaurant is "ocean front", however the restaurant is in front of a factory instead. There are parkings outside. The restaurant looks kinda old both outside and inside, maybe it just the Hawaiian style. We order Hawaiian BBQ chicken and Teriyaki beef plus hot and sour soup to go. The food was good to me but my partner said too salty. Anyway, for that price in big island Hawaii, I think it's a good deal. read more

Don't let the appearance of the place fool you... it's small and kinda tucked in and to the untrained eye looks a little sketchy (but it's really not), but this place has some of the best Chinese in Hilo town. My go to ALWAYS is the veggie fried rice. It's one of the only places that has the flavor locked in. Also the wait time is practically non existent. Called in an order for pickup and 15 minutes later it was waiting for me when I walked in. Trust me. Go there, get something then go grind at Liliuokulani or somewhere down Keaukaha... will make your day better. read more

Visiting from California wanted to go check out all the local ma and pa shops so I decided to order from here I couldn't believe the quality of the food that's coming out of this local restaurant. It's genuinely one of the best bites I've had on the island so far and the quality of food that you get for the price is absolutely unbeatable 10 out of 10 would recommend go check it out and get their steak and shrimp combos!!! read more

Expect to smell like Chinese food if you dine at one of the two tables tucked in this small haphazard hole in the wall. A small price to pay for really good food. Crispy gau gee min over cake noodle and salt and pepper chicken had action. read more

Great food, great portions, great taste! Took me 3 days to eat my plate. Preordered and ready upon arrival. No complaints here.

Got the kalbi ribs and garlic shrimp plate special and it was amaaaazing. Fave food on the island so far. The vibes sitting outside are very industrial and not super pretty. But it's a great hole in the wall spot for some dank food. Very worth it. read more

Unsanitary! Flies on top of open food in prep area. Food was mediocre and service was so bad!

The food was very expensive and the servers were very rude. They were yelling and their faces were not friendly. They did not even smile at all towards customers. read more

Great selection, great flavors, solid portions. House chow fun was a winner. Friendly and quick. Not much room to sit, but drive over to a beach picnic table and enjoy your food there. read more

Food is delicious and well-made. I'll recommend it to my friends and family as well. We visit again.

Dependable local style food at a decent price, the portions are good, the owners are nice, and the food is better than most places like L & L. read more

Amazing hole in the wall spot. Huge portions for the lunch/dinner plates. Would absolutely recommend.

Good was prepared quickly and though I took it to go it was still piping hot when I got it home. I had the shrimp chow mein and it was delicious. I also had crab Rangoon - again made moments before it was served and delicious. Not a fancy restaurant. Maybe 3 tables. At the side of the road. read more

First time eating here and the food was amazing! We had the lemon chicken... The cook was very friendly, and the cashier was very kind.

This place was a little hole in the wall type of restaurant. It was nice and cool inside...but, we didn't really get what we asked for and requested. We asked for extra crispy bacon because my son wouldn't eat the bacon if it wasn't. They gave it to us, and it wasn't crispy enough, I asked if they could make it more crispy; they looked at me shocked and laughed, asking if I needed it more crispy. I said yes. They took the plate and returned it practically the same. My son didn't even eat it (waste of money and food). Next, I asked for crispy fries with our combos, and we got overcooked soggy, oil filled fries. I didn't want to ask for another due to being laughed at already for the crispy bacon request. We just took the food and left. Don't know if we'll be going back. read more

Amazing fresh & tasty food. Fast & friendly service, help with sizing catering orders is a plus. Highly recommend this place

I preferred this through Door Dash a couple of times. Their New York is a hidden gem. Super tender bite size pieces that melt in your mouth. And the portions were huge. Get it with mushrooms which are also very large. Excellent and reasonably priced. Tried the Korean mix plate and it was pretty good too. Very large portions of short rib, BBQ beef, and chicken. Again, very reasonably priced. Haven't tried many of the other items, but am anxious to. read more

This is a little unassuming hole in the wall located in Keaukaha. The quality is authentic and the quantity is amazing. One of the best kept secrets in Hilo. For a quick lunch I suggest getting one of the burger combos. Burger, fries, and a drink for under $10! read more

Wanted to update my review with some pictures this time! I went back for the won ton mein, shrimp fried rice, and the salt & pepper chicken. The amount of food you get per serving is insanely good value for your money! The won ton Mein was insanely good, the won tons had perfect texture; a nice, thin wrapper with A LOT of filling. The char sui was alright, and the veggies were all fresh and delicious. The noodles were pretty standard saimin noodles, but cooked well. The only thing I can say is that the take out bowl was a little too small to pour all of the broth into the noodle/toppings bowl. Definitely give this one a try. And the salt and pepper chicken from the hot bar...is so good. I heard the cashier (owner I think?) say it was her favorite and I absolutely understand why. Nice and crispy, flavorful chicken, and delicious sweet onions. Get a mini plate with the noodles and the salt & pepper chicken- it's such a good deal and plenty of food on its own. read more

I have been walking past this restaurant for a long time. As we all know as locals, the hole in the walls always delivers. Tasty and good portions. Food is always freshly prepared and hot. I will definitely return again and again. In fact going today! read more

Definitely a hole in the wall kind of spot. Awesome food. Had the sweet & sour pork with spam musubi and loved it!

Another great hole in the wall! I ordered a side of orange chicken and kau yuk while waiting for my meal. That's what happens when you don't eat lunch until 6:00 pm, lol. It turned out my plate was ready moments afterwards so I sat outside to try a little of everything. Kau Yuk was amazing! The orange chicken was crispy and tender. Just didn't have an orange flavor. Server came out to check on me and ask if everything was okay and I said yes and she pointed at the orange chicken that I wasn't eating, so I said it's good chicken but it's not orange chicken and she apologized and offered me a refund. I said no. It's okay. I have enough food anyway. She told the cook and he came out and was very apologetic. I said he could taste it, which he did and said new cook put too much soy sauce, cannot taste the orange.next time I cook for you! I told him no worries, and next thing I knew they were there with my refund. My real order was the steak and garlic shrimp which was bomb. Shrimp with crispy, tender, salty, garlicky! Big portions, nice people, amazing customer service. So even though the orange chicken wasn't orang-y, I'm rating it five stars. read more

did i go to a different place than everyone else. 4.3? really?!? I been having a hard time finding saimin on the island since i got here, i know crazy. having trouble finding saimin, but yes, it hasn't been as easy as you'd think. any way, i decided on OFK cause it was 4.3 and had good reviews. We walked in, its an odd little place but I've had some of the best meals in places that were way worse looking. i asked if they served saimin.....that became a whole thing cause i think they thought i was saying salmon. ok, that's cleared up, they do serve saimin.....incidentally, their menu reads saimein which i suppose is technically right but not right at the same time. the saimin was awful. first of all, they're not using proper saimin noodle. its really wonton noodle, which i love when I'm having wonton noodles soup but its not saimin. plus, the noodles were overcooked. the cardinal sin for any true noodle lover. my wife had the hamburger....don't ask. super inexpensive yet still not worth it.. $3.95 for the burger, but the combo(canned soda and fries) was $8.95. not awful but the pricing is odd. look at the other combo prices. her hamburger was ordinary. tasted like a frozen patty and fries. i was wildly disappointed by my saimin and maybe the rest of the menu is amazing to garner such a great rating but I certainly didn't have the same experience. read more

Best roast pork in Hilo nobody beats them chef a master in crispy roast pork delicious Ono broke da month da best in da east side

Ocean Front Kitchen is very unassuming. It's a very small take out mostly place. They have one outside table. Ocean Front has an extensive menu and also a "panda express" type of food window that has a about 6 dishes ready for immediate serving. I don't recommend the ready prepared food. It's very greasy and very unappetizing to look at. However, I've had much better luck ordering off the menu. The Mongolian Beef is pretty good. Order it spicy. The Garlic Shrimp was also yummy and they give a pretty hefty amount of shrimp. Dishes off the menu come with 2 scoops of rice and mac salad. I'm not much of a mac salad guy so I get 3 scoops of rice. It's a very mom and pop sort of place. It's within walking distance of where I work so in a pinch it's a good place to get a quick lunch. The Good: Quick affordable and friendly The Bad: To go only, hit and miss on the food but mostly hit. Chances I'll Be Back: Yeah, it's close to work and good in a pinch or when I don't have a lot of time for lunch. They haven't bothered to update prices on the menu. You should ask what the price of the item is before you order. Most things have increased a few bucks. read more

Came back from the caves inland and was hungry. After driving around all the al a carte restaurants, this one finally offered a combo plate. We got 2 combo plate and the crispy chicken noodle with the sauce on the side. Get the sauce on the side because they give you waaaay more. It's basically a soup. Place looks rundown from the outside but it's really good. Trust me. read more

Winner on everything. They food is ono...and cheap cheap cheap..Fresh and Fast. Owners are friendly!!!

Our first visit and our order was a seafood cake noodle and vegetable tofu. The noodles were filled with vegetables and salad shrimp and calamari. The noodles were my favorite even though I would have preferred less gravy on it but this is the way it is cooked in Hawaii as this is the way it is done on Oahu. I prefer to have some crunch rather than the noodles softened totally in the gravy. Texture should be considered in cooking, just as certain vegetables provide crunch. This is mainly a takeout place and the display case was almost depleted and did not look appealing. However the food were cooked from what we ordered and was very generous in portion. There were quite a few takeouts while we sat there. Review rating is on food that we ordered. The people are immigrants trying to make a living and working hard. read more
