Hilo Lunch Shop

This place is definitely one of my favorites. The food is easy to share, and it's perfect for those long days out on the street.

There’s a lot to love about this place! Your prices are incredible, but be sure to arrive early since the line can get quite long. It’s definitely worth the wait for the authentic local and homemade flavors.

I've been coming here since I was a kid, and it's the best spot for bento-style food whether you're going on excursions, beach trips, picnics, or just want a great breakfast. I always make a point to visit when I return home and get the full spread at a reasonable price. I even introduced my husband to it, and now he can't wait to go back. The portions are generous, so we always have plenty to take home to share with my grandparents. The food is best when fresh, but it's still delicious as leftovers. Now I'm craving it again! Lol.

Let me tell you what if we visit the Ohana all the way from NY, this is a must for us every time! Very better food here than in most places in NY! I love the atmosphere and only the smiling faces and happy people when we go there.

A very small local Japanese restaurant. Love their food! Very traditional old school Japanese food! Price is unbeatable! Very very cheap, nothing is more than $3 on the menu. Most of the food is $1-2! Love their fish cake, fried fish and fried chicken! A lot of local people come here to buy food, not a lot of tourists. Although food is a bit salty, you can order more rice that will balance out. Highly recommend!
