Hilo Lunch Shop

"The pickled limu and kimchee cucumber kinda salty. The chicken nori and mochiko chicken tasted like sesame oil only. The egg roll didn't have much taste. The rice was undercooked and the same with the musubi. The laulau had nice flavor, just the leaves wS undercooked a little. Lastly, the cone sushi had great flavor. The rice was just really mushy. The service was great and the atmosphere is kind of cramped but it's like that with allt of okazuka places."

"This place is a local favorite. It’s like a deli customized with Hawaii’s Japanese favorite foods(Okazuya style). A lot of people get a meal or a quick bite to eat because the prices are so affordable versus a traditional restaurant. The food is made daily hot and fresh. And just to note, there’s a minimal amount of seating. So take out is recommended. There’s lots of free parking, and you might want to Google map this place because it’s on a side street."

"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!"
