I always like to say nice things but unfortunately the waitress here was very annoying. Some folks need to be reminded that they are in the service industry. I'm at a restaurant to be served otherwise I'd just as easily have cooked at home. Service deserves half a star. A half star for just being there. Reasons for having any stars at all are the food and atmosphere. The food was okay. Not bad but nothing to rave about. Had the food been bad, then they'd have no stars. Portions are small but that's the state of the world these days with prices increasing. Only a handful of items to choose from. Simple menu. Their saving grace is the atmosphere. Lovely old school vibe! P.S. If the management...
We were excited to have steak and butter fish and see this vintage hotel. But this dinner was definitely not for us, tourists from Los Angeles. There were a lot of local families having a great time though. The steak was fatty, needed salt and lacked flavor. The cheeseburger tasted like meatloaf. The butterfish has a nice citrus miso cream sauce that was very tasty and complimented the fish. The fish was cooked perfectly but was just so unappealing on the plate. The sides are family style and are low grade picnic items. The dining hall reminded me of a YMCA bingo multipurpose hall. Oldest restaurant in Hawaii, 100 years, and they have some artifacts to see. There are a couple tables with a v...
It's your down to earth restaurant that feeds you the old ways in a good healthy style of how we use to eat food back in our younger year and most of all very affordable prices. This you can't get in a high rolling restaurant or hotel . This my friends you have to taste it for yourself to make your own critique Kuros to the personnel that made it happen!
this is the place to get authentic Japanese Hawaii food next to teshima. this restaurant has been close for over 100 years and a family hotel with a rich history in kona. a cozy, mama and pop restaurant with friendly staff. we have the opelu 17), which is a fried fish. super tasty and tender. they also receive free pages with their order.

I would leave one a star review if it was possible. I've lived in Hawaii my whole life and eaten local food all over. Let me save you the hassle and just don't go here. It is rubbish! L&L Hawaiian barbecue is way batter. This place is a waste of time.
simple, but effective. a historical Japanese-Hawaiian institution. the Miso butterfish is the best on the menu. I never command anything else. the steaks and black jerseys are in order. side are also simple, but pretty good.
this restaurant is a foundation wall of the local community that serves good comfort and friendly service. if we come back to Kona, that's one thing.
black chops in gravur with fried fish ruined! I'll go to me when I go island! they'll get fried akule while they'll
