    Spring rolls
    Amita K.

    Best pineapple Thai seafood curry!!! It's super delicious. If you're in the national park, must visit. We ordered take out and ate in the park but it's a full sized restaurant with seating. Spring rolls were heavenly!

    Best cosmo.

    A great find outside of Volcanos National Park. Family run. Incredible service, super clean and great food. One of the best Cosmos I've ever had-superb. Don't miss this gem. They also have a "Western Menu" in case you have picky eaters in your group. Love this place.

    Tom Yang soup

    I've been looking for nice Asian food for my parents while traveling in Big island. I could choose restaurants very limited because they have very picky tastes. They wanted try American or Italian or Chinese or etc but seems like they didn't really like it. I found this place on the Yelp. Looks nice My family was enjoying this place food. Maybe we choose great menu. I really recommend this place whoever visit volcano area. Papaya salad was really great and this is my all the time favorite menu anywhere else but this place papaya salad was outstanding. Tom yam soup also outstanding but a bit small plate. Pad Thai was great too. Thai iced tea was so so. Very big restaurant but very quiet place. Our waitress was super friendly. Definitely go back this place again if I travel to here again.

    Decor is cute

    A classic third generation owned and operated Thai restaurant. Pride in quality authentic Thai cuisine and cleanliness. This is by far the best Thai restaurant on island. I live two hours away; as a lifetime resident I am not in a hurry to grab and go my dining offerings. I love to sit inside; look at the photos of the family history and smell the smells of fresh lemon grass, bayleaf and all of the aromatics used in this scrumptious bowl of Thom Gah Soup. The sticky rice is divine. Service from Pan and family, precise. Slow food. Be kind. These are beautiful people with Aloha. I will always return time and again to Thai Thai Bar and Bistro. The finest authentic Thai island-wide.

    Pineapple fried rice w chicken

    This is a weekly spot for us. It's my comfort food. It's my safe place. This place is pricy! But If you are visiting the park you don't have many options in the area. Dishes are full of flavor. Plenty of food to fill you up. All the meats are ono. Shrimps are huge and they give you a lot of them. Chicken is tender and delicious. Mahi is good as well. Firm white fish. Small hot is quite spicy. some days are hotter than others. Highly recommend the soups. My only complaint is getting 1/3 of the container aromatics. For $25 I would be able to eat all of it. The fried wontons and spring rolls are NOT worth it in my opinion.

    Chicken pad thai
    Anna L.

    Overpriced for mediocre Thai food but they are one of the only restaurant to still be open in the evening. The Thai iced tea was delicious but the food was not. I had the chicken pad thai which was average and bland. My partner had the pad kee mao but beware that their medium spicy is very spicy.

    pad thai, green papaya salad
    Sarah C.

    we got the green papaya salad ($17) and the pad thai ($25) and unfortunately I wouldn't say they were worth the 40 minute wait (takeout only). the pad thai was kind of hard and so was the green papaya. bonus points for the huge portions though

    Tastes good but pricey. Still much better than the food trucks in the area though. If you are in volcano, I think a visit is worth it.

    I had The Hidden Nene bookmarked when I was planning out my trip to Hilo and I couldn't be happier…read morewith my experience at the speakeasy. My wife and I stopped by for pre-dinner drinks and we absolutely loved the drinks that we were able to try out. I started out with a cocktail called the "Spam Dram", a crispy Spam fat-washed barrel-proof bourbon, combined with seared Spam and nori syrup and topped off with a spam musubi garnish. As one might guess, this drink was presented in a spam musubi tin, and atop the bed of crushed ice was an *entire* spam musubi. The drink was a perfect representation of spam musubi in a glass -- sweet, savory, and full of umami. Props to whichever bartender put together this creative drink. The next drink I ordered was the "Smoky Bear", another bourbon based cocktail. This one had bird's eye chili essence in it, and was much closer than your traditional Old Fashioned, except it had an incredible amount of smokiness and a punch of heat to it as well. If you enjoy stiff drinks with complexity, look no further than this cocktail. While we were seated at the bar, we overheard somebody close to us mentioning a password special that had been posted on the Instagram page of The Hidden Nene. We checked their latest story posted two hours earlier and the password special for the day was a "fizz me baby one more time", a strawberry and yuzu gin fizz. My wife ordered this cocktail as her second drink and loved how refreshing the drink tasted. Overall, if you consider yourself a cocktail connoisseur, you owe it to yourself to check out The Hidden Nene if you're in Hilo.

    The coastal town of Hilo hides the fantastic speakeasy, The Hidden Nēnē. Head down the stairs by…read morethe green door, and it becomes less hidden, and you can see the sign for the basement level bar. The underground space is low green lighting, a long bar, and green velvet bar chairs. We went during the day, so they were not busy, and were able to sit at the bar. The service was quick, relaxed, and friendly. The cocktails are upscale priced, but well made. They do offer a full food menu, we did not order any food on our visit.
