Just had a bowl of saimin for $15, very average. Noodles were overcooked, broth just ok, and skimpy toppings. Glad I didn't order anything more expensive because everything seemed very overpriced. For high quality food, its ok but to pay a lot for mediocre food, pass. Don't recommend.

It was my first time eating at Tinaʻs, and I was so happy my sister brought our party of 5 here…read more We ordered the Thai pizza, yellow curry, tom kah, pad thai, summer roll and mango sticky rice. I enjoyed each dish especially the Thai pizza since it was so different than any dish I tried. The vegetables from the summer roll tasted fresh and crisp....and the mango sweet rice - a must if you love mangoes!

FRESHLY brewed Thai tea that fills the restaurant with a sweet scent & you can choose to have it with coconut milk or regular milk or half and half! I prefer coconut milk. So creamy makes a perfect Thai iced tea. Enjoyed our papaya salad & our veggie pad Thai. There were so many other dishes on the menu that sounded amazing but I already had a plan as I was craving papaya salad and pad Thai hit the spot .. They even brought out a sippy cup for my 7m old. He loved the noodles and the veggies. Plenty of parking. Thank you aunties.

The food was delicious…read more We decided to order for pickup, and they have a text message system that notifies you when your order is ready. That was very helpful because we needed to pick up a few things at the grocery store next door, so it worked out perfectly. The service was great. We'll definitely be back to dine in and experience the service inside.

What does a skeleton order at a restaurant? Spare ribs!…read more Now, I've not seen any skeletons at Happy Valley that wouldn't have been there anyway, but I've definitely had their ribs and they're bomb. Good as they are, though, I think their peking duck is my favorite (shocker). The thing with Happy Valley is, if you're not doing family style when you eat here, you're doing it wrong. You can easily afford to have a few favorites at this place and be able to order all of them and then some! And there's a wealth of options for you to choose from. You really just need to make sure your friends and fam have brought their appetites. Happy Valley is located in Hilo Shopping Center, right there when you turn in off of Kilauea Ave. You'll likely be able to find a table on most week nights, but I do believe they do reservations, so it can't hurt to call ahead. The staff is friendly and everything inside is clean. And while I do think this place really shines as a spot for groups to dine at, you can absolutely come with a smaller party. The food will always be good.

If I could leave 0 stars I would . I came in today for just the roast duck and shrimp fried rice ,…read moreand let me tell you, I should've just ate the paper menu because it probably would've tasted better . My first red flag was when the table in the front had a hair in their food .... But hey that's beside the point. The shrimp fried rice had 7 shrimp...7!!! It's not seasoned at all just egg and boiled shrimp , not even a lil green onion or soy sauce ..then the duck was like greasy and lacked luster and I asked for the duck "sauce "/ drippings and I was given hosin sauce ( ew) but I ate some because I'm not wasting my money lol. Did I mention I payed $58....... And for that much I would've expected the customer service to be top tier ... and no shocker the food matched the customer service 0/10 again. I'm not mad just disappointed. First restaurant in Hilo -0 /10 .

You definitely get a lot of food for your money. The drinks were great too. The matcha cocktail was amazing and one of my favorite drinks we tried. What really stood out was the service. The host, bartender, and our waitress were all so kind, friendly, and welcoming. Great food, generous portions, fun drinks, and genuinely wonderful service. Cute patio but you can't bring drinks out there, the bar inside was nice though.

Don't sit outside, they'll completely forget about you…read more This is our favorite restaurant and went on a random Tuesday night to celebrate our anniversary. We asked to sit outside because we had our baby with the stroller. It was just two of us and our baby. No reservation, (initially planned to do take out but changed our mind) and we got seated right away. We watched waiters set up for two parties; we thought okay, they're busy they'll come after they set the tables. It was at least 8+ for each party, we completely watch both parties arrive, get seated, and got given waters, while all we got were menus. We patiently waited but as soon as we seen waiters started taking likely drink orders, we had enough, we had to have been waiting for at least 45 min. It was disappointing because it's been months since we last came here and we were excited and looking forward to eating here. We ended up leaving and going to Hawaiian style because they had no line. We got seated there right away and got our food quick. Likely won't be coming here anytime soon because of this experience.

Excellent food and truly above-and-beyond service!…read more I had the beef short rib with kimchi fried rice, and both were fantastic. The short rib is slow-cooked for 12 hours, and you can absolutely tell--the meat practically fell off the bone without any effort. The portions were very generous, which was exactly what we needed the night before a big paddling race! Everyone in our group really enjoyed their food. What impressed me even more was the service. I accidentally left my retainer on the table wrapped in a napkin and didn't realize it until about 30 minutes after we left. I called the restaurant, and the team was kind enough to actually search through the trash for it--and they found it! Anyone who has a retainer knows how expensive and difficult they can be to replace, so I was incredibly grateful that they were willing to go that far to help me. That level of care says a lot about the people here. Great food, generous portions, and a team that genuinely takes care of their guests. Thank you for an excellent meal and especially for going so far above and beyond for me!

My favorites are the garlic shrimp and oxtails. The shrimp are colossal, the oxtails are fall-apart tender, and the Asian spices are amazing.

When we were planning our trip to the Big Island over a year ago, I had read a guide book which…read morerecommended Canoe House. Then, when we watched last season's Top Chef, and saw Rhoda win, and that she was a chef in Hawaii, we finally put 2 and 2 together and found out she was Executive Chef there. So that made it a mission. We knew going in that it was going to cost a small fortune, and it did. But it was a life experience that was worth it. The restaurant has a beautiful setting, and we planned our reservation around sunset, and it was amazing that night. And our server, Chris, was the best one we had on the island in the 17 days we were there. We started with the shokupan bread, thinking something to snack on before we started would be a good idea. They bring you a block of bread....a large block, tear it in half for you, and it's amazing. My wife had the roasted cabbage with a side of crispy sweet potatoes, and I had the fresh catch (Mahi that day) with a side of garlic fried rice. Everything was great, and we're still talking about that fried rice. Wow! Topped it all off with a piece of vanilla cheesecake. Everything is expensive in Hawaii, so get over that part and splurge on yourselves. It was worth it.

The whole lobster entree was split in half and also delicious. My husband ordered the beef short rib. I expected a strip of short rib, but it was shredded and was just ok. The garlic fried rice was too salty. Desserts were delicious. Views of the sunset and ambience were the reason we returned to the restaurant. Expect to pay for it with overpriced food.

I am giving Krua Thai in Kona an absolute 1-star review, this was a completely terrible experience!…read more Everything here is extremely expensive for what you get. The food was just plain awful across the board. I ordered the beef noodle soup and was shocked that it was $28 and for that price, it was mostly just noodles with barely any meat or other ingredients. The broth tasted terrible, and to make matters worse, they charged me extra for Napa cabbage and didn't even give me the extra portion! We also ordered the ginger stir-fry, which ironically didn't have any ginger in it at all. As if the poor quality and outrageous prices weren't bad enough, a few hours after eating there, both of us got very sick with vomiting and diarrhea. It is clear they are using low-quality, un-fresh ingredients. Extremely overpriced, missing ingredients, hidden charges, and severe food poisoning. Avoid this place at all costs!
