Once we turned the corner at the park, the parking lot in front of the restaurant was full. It looked like they had 4-5 parking stalls. So we parked across the way at the beach parking lot, like 10 steps from the restaurant parking lot. Cute! They have tables outside and a take out order window but it's hot and so we went in to enjoy dining in the AC. Cuuute the restaurant! It has a beautiful farmhouse theme and therefore they do have some farm house inspired dishes. For eats, I got the noodles with garlic chicken and that was a massive portion of chicken! Was ono though and so i was happy to have for dinner that evening and lunch and dinner the next day. I did my best to eat a third of my order at the restaurant. The noodles were delicious as well. It didn't come with rice so I'm glad my sister ordered the country fried mahi mahi. I had a taste of the mahi mahi and it does taste like country fried steak batter. And the way they served the fish gave it the country fried steak flare. It was very good. It's fish, so my sister was able to finish her dish. Oh, and Mac salad was good too. Service was AWESOME! There were three other tables being served by the one server but he did an excellent job. When we left, it looked like there were cop cars everywhere. I was a bit timid going out but then I noticed five cops ordering lunch at the take out window. So you know this place is winnahs! I'll be back for sure.

A case of baked goods draws your attention at the front counter. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere. The table service is friendly and attentive. Our server told us about the popular garlic chicken or fish fishes. The menu offers breakfast and lunch options. The portion of Garlic Chicken was huge (shareable). The coating was crispy but the sauce was overly sweet for me. Mac salad was good. I substituted the rice for green salad, which was fresh and delicious. My daughter had the Two Egg Breakfast came with four large pieces of bacon. She substituted rice for green salad. The eggs were perfectly cooked. Her breakfast was perfect. They do not have a kid's menu, so we shared our meals with my granddaughter, which was fine as we had a lot of food. Our server brought an extra plate for her. They serve ice cream and have a selection of beautiful desserts but we were full so will return to try out. There is a small private parking lot. The restaurant is walkable from the park/beach.

I came across this even on Facebook and Yelp. The list of local vendos piqued interest as I thought…read moreit was a perfect event to get my feet wet with local foods (I moved here 2 weeks ago). It was also conveniently located within 2 miles of the hotel I was staying at. The vendors were arranged in a circular formation with an open field in the middle. This made it easy to move from one vendor to another. The event was reminiscent of a "food fair" held annually in the Caribbean in which local vendors sell locally made foods and handmade products. There was good music, ample parking, a variety of food/drinks/dessert vendors to choose from, and inflatable bumper balls (I think this wasn't an ideal event for these balls because unless you went with a group of people, it would be awkward bouncing strangers). The timeframe for the event was perfect. The sun was setting so it was not unbearably hot. There were benches for if you wanted to sit and eat or plenty of open space in the middle of the vendors for those who brought blankets and lawn chairs. The police had a small presence at the event, which provided a sense of security and they blocked off some roads leading directly to the event, which made it safe to walk about.

The Eat The Street event occupied the entire football field so space was no problem. I've been out…read moreof school for more than a couple of decades now so I've forgotten what it was like walking across a football field. All the huge spotlights cast multiple shadows from you so at one point, I was walking with a freshly bought pot pie from Sweet Revenge and I actually thought someone was following me. I quickly turned guarding my pot pie to only realize it was my own shadow...sigh, I'm such an idiot sometimes. Anyway, this was my first ETS event so was very eager to see all the different foods to try. The line of trucks, with their generators rumbling and owners/workers calling you over to try samples seemed endless. It was actually a bit overwhelming. The 3 of us walked around the entire field 3 times before we each finally decided what we were going to eat. I got a Smoked rib plate from Tin Hut BBQ ($12.00.) The plate comes with 2 sides (I got a double helping of green salad.) The ribs were fall of the bone tender and had a nice grilled flavor, although I didn't get a strong smoky taste. The salad was fairly plain; it was like the type you'd get in a large bag of tossed greens at Costco. The greens were fresh though and they offered 3 different dressings that you served yourself. The favorite thing about Tin Hut is that they have squeeze bottles of BBQ sauce out for customers to use. They had 2 different sauces: one was an apple/chipotle and the other was unmarked. Both were delicious. I'm a saucy kinda guy so I thought that was pure awesomeness. Sorry, I don't remember the names of the trucks that my other two friends visited One of them got a deep fried, shrimp stuffed avocado and a mixed plate of ribs and shrimp. It looked really good and she confirmed that it was "Da Bomb". My other friend went to a thai food truck and had stuffed chicken wings and satay chicken sticks. He said the wings were really good but the chicken sticks were horribly dry. We were all still a bit hungry so decided to split a pot pie from Sweet Revenge. We got the pork guisantes pie and it was fantastic. The top crust was just so buttery and flaky. My only gripe is it's pricey for its size ($7.00). I really wanted to try out more trucks but was pretty stuffed by then. If you come to an Eat The Street event in the future, I'd recommend coming really hungry. ***Oh...and a little side bonus was that I got to meet Yelp! Elite Pualani P and future Elite Darren S. They were manning the Yelp! tent and were both really cool.

Ono steak and shrimp is in an unassuming location - a strip mall....but don't let that fool you…read more This food is first class! As you walk in, the tasty aroma of delicious meat greats you. Aaaahhhhh, there are few better ways a restaurant can make a first impression! My better half and I chose to get some take out to eat on the beach and enjoy the beautiful sunset. The sunset was beautiful but the food made our evening! We ordered a shrimp/noodle plate ($10) and a steak/fish plate ($14). The shrimp were fairly basic... Simple, but excellent! I actually wasn't a huge fan of the noodles, but my better half thought they were outstanding. We ordered the steak with LIGHT seasoning and it tasted perfect (I tend to like salty things, but had been warned that they tend to go very heavy on seasoning)...the steak was deliciously marinated and cooked just right! Finally, the star of the night was the fish! It was a huge piece of red snapper that was perfect! It tasted super fresh and made an otherwise good meal great!

Went from being the best ive had in a while to "omg so salty", "this is so dry", and "is this even steak?" The cooking method is inconsistent for four tries now, and I was being generous with forgiveness on taste. Seriously though, the amount of sodium on the chicken ruins the crispy reason why I even came to give it another shot. The steak went from flavourful to nothing to almost not cooked. I cannot understand how hard it is to cook consistently with a time and seasoning...its chicken damn it. For anyone thinking I should just learn, I got it. Its just convenience like any other reason to eat out. The fish though...top notch stuff. Furikake ahi was bomb.dotcom.

If their ahi katsu burger that comes on a taro bun is on the menu, we would have def ordered that too. Remember to bring ca$h, if not, they do accept Venmo as well.

They are located in the parking lot across the downtown shopping district of Hilo (in the park down from the KTA store and almost across Sig Zane). Look for the blue tarp with the 8 seats around a plastic folding table. The blue tarp is the give away when looking for it. It's run by Hawaiians, so you know the food is ONO (delicious). LUAU SQUID - My absolute favorite is the luau squid! It's made with fresh taro leafs stewed for along time with coconut milk and cut octopus. BOMBSHADIGGIDY ONOLICOUS!!! It taste just like the old days where grandma used to use the freshest ingredients to make the family favorites during dinner. A great portion (2 cups) served hot and steaming. You can get this with either poi or rice (get the poi!!!). $7.50 for the combination. Grade: A+ PORK LAULAU - super authentic laulau (taro leafs) steamed with fatty pork, salted fish. Wrapped in taro leafs and steamed for hours. Everything melts together because of the steaming. (Side order $4.00). Eat this with the poi and you have an authentic meal and tons of memories to talk about! Super ONO!. Grade: A! KULOLO - a dessert made of freshly grated taro root, coconut milk, and shreaded coconut. The consistency comes out like a sticky pudding / mochi. Not many places can make this old-time dish anymore. Found it here at the Ono Hawaiian Food Truck and glad I ordered it. You get a 4 x 6 slice of the dessert for $4.50. Well below market value (I've purchased this for double the price at other places). Grade: B+
