Thursday specials.

I was looking foward to trying So Juicy Hawaii and was not disappointed! This is an absolute must try. Its delicious, perfectly designed recipes with fresh local ingredients. While I waited for my food I tried the 'uala sweet potato smoothie with coconut milk, organic maple and apple bananas. *Devine* There are grab and go items but I ordered one of the Thursday specials... the "Moa To Talk About" chicken dish served was on a bed of mixed local greens with a ridiculously delicious tex mex aioli. The sides served with their daily mains are fantastic. Mango salsa is chefs kiss.... perfectly balanced with ripe mangoes and fresh herbs. The 'uala sweet potato salad holds its own in this visual and culinary masterpiece. So Juicy Hawaii is a Hilo treasure. The local sourced ingredients are combined expertly and are a must try. The owner is friendly and serves this food with pride while providing a magical eating experience to everyone who orders. Thanks So Juicy Hawaii! Ill be back to try the lamb dish next!

Swirly bowl and pressed juice (flavor: drama free)
Doris N.

Had the swirly bowl and the fresh pressed juice (drama free) and it was simply delicious and refreshing! The service was great and had great recommendations. Sad that it's our last day and won't be able to try their dishes. Such a gem of a place- meeting the owner was a plus!

Fresh, tasty and clean cafe with amazing 'New Food' movement hopefully to begin a trend for young upstarts. Innovative, yet taste like food that maybe our plant based ancestors would have made. Not over-seasoned, just right 'hand' on all menu items. Recommended for anyone getting tired of the same old spin on the locavore movement. Personally, I like to eat smaller portions of quality food. The Tofu Burger was perfect and it has only been three hours since lunch, but I am already craving to try this place for dinner. The Pipinola Salad is crunchy, with lightly seasoned tomatoes and maui sweet onion, as a side. Juices are made there and ginger is a component of this aqua blue thirst quencher. The tahirts are great gift items to purchase and spread the news! Impressive what GEN EXER local entrepreneurs can do, and it makes me proud to see innovation, quality, and hard work from a few Hilo Boys. Don't walk, RUN and check it out! 5 Stars, for surah!

Mahi tacos

Out walking, looking for a snack and were intrigued by the coconut tortillas on their menu. So we stopped in and grabbed a plate of mahi tacos. Soooooo good! The ube mash made me a convert!

Delicious drinks

Perfect for health. Didn't have an opportunity to take a pic of the Macadamia Butter Cacao smoothie because it was that good and before I knew it, I drank it all! The poke...excellent, and doesn't leave you feeling "heavy" from shoyu, they use different ingredients, yet tastes super good! The Ginger drink was a surprise. Not strong at all, a good picker upper. Bought the bottle after sampling. You need to come and just try it...pictures don't do it justice. I had a misconception about this place thinking it would be like every other health smoothie place, but it's different than any other "Juice bar" around or what you're used to. Just try for yourself so you know. #soj

He does an excellent version of All Along the Watchtower. Great vibe and the weather was of course, perfect for being outside. The parking wasn't too bad either. Probably about a block away in front of the farmer's market without issue or charge. What mostly works: The food for the most part was very good but there were mistakes. I asked for no tomatoes on the grilled chicken pasta, but it came out with plenty of tomatoes. Same thing with the Cesar salad. Asked for no red onion and indeed, red onion is very much present. The pork nachos were overall perfect and as advertised. What didn't work: The service. Whether it was the server or the kitchen, the two above food requests were either not entered right or not checked before leaving the kitchen. We also ordered drinks along with the food that never came. Mercifully, they were not on the bill but it's like our server just spaced out and forgot most of what we said to her when we ordered. With that said, for a Tuesday night the place was jam packed, and it looked like the restaurant was short staffed. Everything took a long time and as I mentioned, our server forgot almost as much as she got right but she was also getting pulled in a million different directions at the same time. Not that I expect to make it back to Hilo again, but if I did, it would be a tepid maybe coming back here. The reviews overall are very good, but our personal experience very much was not.

With that out of the way, on the with the show. What worked for our visit: The space and the ambiance. It's a beautiful old building and the bar is both classic and classy. Yes, it can get a bit loud once everything starts to fill up inside, but it's not that big of a deal. The food with one exception was very good. The 1/4 loaf of garlic bread is an excellent value starter with good flavor. Also very solid were the fish & chips and the guava BBQ glazed ribs. Truly hard to argue with any of that. By the time we left, the restaurant was very busy for a Monday night but there were zero issue with the service. Water glasses were refilled in a timely manner and there was never a long wait for anything. A+ on the spacing and pacing. What didn't work: The one exception and I realize this might come down to personal preference, but this was our last stop before heading home and over the week I had imbibed in my fair share of Mai Tais and this one especially at a $15 price point is a no from me. Surprisingly bitter in a semi off-putting way. That one was definitely a one and done. Overall, it was a very solid dinner, and I would have no issue coming back and in the end to me, that's what it's all about. www.jackiereyshilo.com/dinner-menu

Lehua Restaurant is a part of UH Hilo's Upper Campus and located in one of the astronomy buildings…read more The entrance is a little hard to find because it's tucked away. We've been to Hilo countless times but this was our first time at this restaurant and I say it's definitely one of the fancier restaurants that aren't located in downtown Hilo. We liked that because the parking was easier than town and it's not as sketchy of an area to walk around when the sun goes down. We RSVP'd in advance for my parent's anniversary and got seated right away with no issues. The restaurant is big with large windows to highlight the lush greenery that surrounds it. For a party of seven we had the option of a "half oval" table or your traditional seating across each other. We opted for the half oval, which gave us a nice view of the light live music that was playing. Service was good, we got checked up on multiple times and never had any issue with anything missing or not refilled. The food was amazing to say the least. Started off with complimentary bread and volcanic salted butter - bread was soft but wish it was warm so our butter could melt on top. Crab dynamite skillet - reminded us of a single serve sushi bake and we giggled at the Korean seaweed that was brought out to accompany it. Tinono - super flavorful and was similar to a small plate of "Lechon kawali". Calamari - cut into strips and served with an addicting chili sauce. Rib eye steak - so flavorful with a yummy compound butter to compliment it. All of our fish was cooked perfectly with the inside moist. I'm not really a fan of cooked fish but Lehua Restaurant executed the seared ahi so well I still think about it. The kulolo lumpia was addicting and that dessert alone got me so many "asks" when I posted it on my IG story. Overall I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I'm already fitting it into our itinerary for the next time we visit.

Lehua Restaurant was one of my favorite dining experiences in Hilo. The atmosphere was beautiful,…read moreand the live music was a great touch that really added to the experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and I loved the overall ambiance. It was also pretty unique being tucked away inside the ʻImiloa Astronomy Center part of the University of Hawaii (Hilo). We ordered the calamari, rib eye steak, and lamb chops, and everything was delicious. The calamari was a great app with a nice panko crust and awesome sweet chili aioli. The rib eye and lamb were both cooked well and packed with flavor, and all of the portions were generous. Between the food, service, live music, and romantic atmosphere, Lehua is definitely a place I'd recommend for a special dinner in Hilo.

The poi had a pleasant texture, though the haupia was too sweet for our taste. We upgraded from rice to fried rice, which was fine but unremarkable. Surprisingly, the pickled onions and chili water were the highlights, adding the most flavor to the meal. Service was efficient but felt rushed and impersonal. Our waitress checked in, but did so while walking away, making the interaction feel routine rather than attentive. Overall, the food was ok, but not memorable enough for us to return.
