The 12 best spots for fish and chips in Hilo

Very expensive but great experience. Food was amazing and it was very fresh. I especially recommend the hot apple crisp which was even better than I expected. Service was great too, refilled our drinks often and checked in a lot. Atmosphere could’ve been better though, pretty loud and there was a 22 person group… But overall, if you want a big meal and celebrate something and still don’t mind the price then I recommend coming here.

By far the best service I've had at any restaurant. I mean, I wouldn't get halfway through a drink before a refill would arrive. The perfect amount of attentive without being overbearing. The food was okay besides the amazing garlic bread. Id give it another try just for the service alone.

Absolutely no complaints about this dining spot. From the menu to the atmosphere, it’s hard to find anything that doesn’t make you feel satisfied with your eating experience. The decor is simple and tasteful, and the restaurant is clean. We visited Pesto’s in 2016, returning because we were so pleased last time. We were again served with the best food and pizza on the island. We started with the Korean cream cheese garlic bread. It was pillowy and creamy, and sinful. Enough to give a good few bites to 4 people, but we wouldn’t have complained if the appetizer was double its size. (Ha ha!) For the entrees, my husband and I shared (fought over) the Thai chili shrimp and Luau pizzas. Both were so delicious! We also recommend the Greek pizza, which is loaded with fresh bites of vegetables and cheese. Our daughter tried the shrimp scampi and gave it a 5/5 (which is saying A-LOT)! Whatever you order, however, will undoubtedly be good, as will be the service you receive. Chefs kiss.

Had 5pm Saturday reservations and there was no wait for my family of 4. Free parking was easy to find in the parking lot infront. The server was so nice and on it, food came out fast and DELICIOUS!! The freshly made custom topping salami and pepperoni pizza was so good (my kids favorite)! The seafood risotto was perfect and the desserts were the icing on the cake. The creme brulee had that nice caramel crunch on the top and creamy inside with a side of pineapple and their daily dessert special Triple chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce was so soft, chocolatey and just melts in your mouth. We had an amazing experience at Cafe Pesto and will definitely be back on our next trip.

I live in Hilo and wanted to take my boss out for her Birthday! We made last minute reservations and although they were really busy they sat us at a nice table. Our server was very attentive and friendly . Food was delicious and they even brought out her desert with a candle and sang Happy Birthday! Thank you Pestos for making this a great experience for us!

What a great surprise and wonderful dining experience. The staff is friendly, the food delicious, and there was no wait when we went (around 2:30). We had the risotto and a sandwich and both of us agreed it was easily some of the best food we had on the island. Highly recommend giving it a try if you are in the area.

Super cute place. The food is interesting and delicious. The drinks are right on. Enjoy! We went with the coconut calamari, barn mi, risottos and pasta. Awesome.

Restaurant close to hotel on water. We were seated immediately. The server was attentive, and we ordered drinks. A few minutes later, drinks arrived. We ordered the cheeseburger with bacon, medium rare with crispy fries. The burger arrived 5 minutes later. It was on the rare side, and the fries were not crispy as ordered. The burger had good taste otherwise. Good views from this clean restaurant. Prices are at market for Hilo.

This has been my favorite restaurant in Hilo for years. We’ve celebrated many holidays and special occasions here, and the service is always excellent. The food overall is GREAT—but I have to be honest about the last sushi experience. Since their amazing sushi chef retired, things have changed. They stopped serving sushi for a while, and when it finally came back, I was excited—until I tried it. For $20 a roll, it was mostly rice with barely any fish. Honestly, I could get better sushi at the grocery store for half the price.

Tasty dishes expertly prepared, locally sourced. Friendly staff, lovely views, relaxing atmosphere.

The view of the bay from the outside seating is priceless. The service was good. The decor is upscale. The food was flavorful. I can only image the night views from the restaurant spectacular. The views and location are worth the price.

Delicious food, amazing service & a wonderful view. Recommend making a reservation but even without one we were able to grab a seat at the bar and the view was still wonderful! Highly recommend this place.

The place is nice with a pleasant atmosphere. The food is good, but not amazing. Overall, it’s a decent spot for a relaxed meal by the bay.

You can't go wrong with the Hilo Bay Cafe. The food is soooooo tasty, the atmosphere is beautiful (reserve a table on the patio), and the service is stellar. I will be back here again. It's AMAZING!!

I had a fantastic dining experience at Jackie Rey’s Hilo, located in the historic part of Hilo and just a short distance from the waterfront! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance struck a wonderful balance between elegance and comfort, creating a refined dining atmosphere without any stuffiness. It is in an old bank and vault remains. The cocktails were a highlight—creative and delicious, each one perfectly complementing our meal. I ordered the steak, which was incredible and perfectly prepared to my liking; it was tender and packed with flavor. The salads were also fantastic, fresh and vibrant, showcasing high-quality ingredients. The burgers that went by us looking amazing! The quality of the food was exceptional, and I was pleasantly surprised by the great prices for such high standards. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who made us feel welcomed and valued throughout our visit. Plus, street parking was easy to find. I highly recommend Jackie Rey’s Hilo for anyone looking for a memorable meal in a beautiful setting!

Nice upscale dining in Hilo. The service was great, attentive and knowledgeable and very patient with us. Food was good but not the most memorable meal of our trip. My husband got the seafood plate and enjoyed it. The menu is limited, so if you like a broad selection it may not be for you. However, the choices available all sounded like good options. We made a reservation in advance and they seated us about ten minutes early when we arrived.

Excellent food and service with unique drinks. Beautifully plated dishes. They can accommodate gluten free for several items. Most dishes made with seed oil, but they were able to reduce it for some items. Glad we found this place on our visit to Hilo. Small parking lot across the street is free for 2 hours or find street parking.

Our family came to Jackie Ray’s for lunch and early happy hour and we’re pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the fresh catch sandwich which was cooked perfectly and flavorful. Our kids enjoyed cheeseburgers while my wife enjoyed the crabcakes. Overall, I recommend however the service was a bit slow at times despite the restaurant not being very busy. Our experience may server specific.

The surf and turf was amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly and the pupu plater was spot on. If you make it out to Hilo,HI. Try this gem out. Everything about this place was so beautiful. Service with a smile.

We had a special evening yesterday. The service was very friendly, and the food was not only delicious but also incredibly presented. And dessert was a lovely way to end the day. I recommend making a reservation in advance because it was crowded and we had to wait for a table – but luckily, we managed. The only downside is that the restaurant closes after 8:30 pm. A place like this should be open until at least 10 pm.

Delicious food and the atmosphere was upscale. Unique building, seemed to be an old bank. Fish tacos were overflowing with fish; would have liked more seasoning on the fish and more of the pineapple salsa on top. Burger was cooked perfectly; an aoli or mayonnaise would have added some flavor. Highly recommend the chiffon cake; perfectly moist and not overly sweet.

Self serve restaurant to try local Hawaiian cuisine - loco moco - rice topped with gravy, choice of protein and eggs. Try the cascaron - coconut mochi donut. It’s not too sweet but with a good filling of coconut mochi

This downtown Hilo classic has been around for a reason! Local grinds done well and home of the original loco Moco! The braised beef and noodles, wow. The miso mahi is huge and delicious. Grab some food and hang out or go to the park. Daily specials and quick service also 🤙

Open air dining that's covered. Food was traditional Hawaiian and was ready fast!

I ordered the beef stew plate, and it was really good, even though it doesn’t look great. I thought the Mac salad was only okay. The service was friendly and pretty fast.

Hekka disappointed. I ordered the Hekka chicken. The other picture had green onions and glass noodles. Mine had neither. And the chicken was dry.

Great food, fast service..tons of food with the super loco moco, this kept me fueled all day on a hike in Volcanos National Park. Just an FYI this is covered outdoor seating and no restrooms on site.

One of the most delicious food we had in the big island! The place is small and does not provide good dinning atmosphere. But all the points go to the food. The bbq plate and lau lau were super good, and very large portion, definitely worth the price!

Food: very fresh and reasonable price! The rice ratio is relatively high but their poke can make you finish it for sure. They offer many options from fish to octopus to scallop. Definitely recommend something with shoyu or spicy shoyu. Getting just poke is also more recommended! Service: very patient with tourists like us who can’t decide right away and friendly to recommend flavors and explain their menu. Ambiance: casual. You only get a few white benches outside so takeout is the most recommended option.

05/02/2025 (Fri) We stopped by after the beach, excited to try some fresh poke. We had the Ahi Sesame Shoyu and Ahi Spicy Oyster bowls. While the variety of poke options was impressive, you can only choose either one type or two types per bowl—one type for $15.50 or two types for $18.50. There are no combo meals with side poke, and pricing is market-based, so we couldn't know the total cost in advance.🐟 There’s no seating inside, and the picnic tables next door belong to another establishment, so we ended up eating on a bench outside the shop. The rice was surprisingly firm—perhaps intentionally so, to avoid overpowering the poke’s flavor—but it was a bit too hard for our taste. The seasoning on the poke was lighter than expected, and since no sauce was added to the rice, we found ourselves eating plain white rice at the end. Looking back, we realized that ordering two ahi-based pokes wasn’t the best choice. The flavors were too similar, and we got tired of the taste halfway through. So maybe it was just our selection or personal preference. Still, even with the friendly staff, we don’t think we’d come back to try other options.🤔

There are 2 eateries in this building: the Siusan Fish Market and Wailoa Grill right next to it on the other side of the building. Both are casual places for some of the freshest and tastiest seafood on the Big Island. Suisan Fish Market is great for poke and fresh fish while Wailoa Grill offers excellent seafood plate lunches. Go for the daily special and the ahi katsu if you see those on the menu. Best ahi katsu I’ve had-very crunchy light batter and super fresh juicy ahi.

All the poke choices here are Delicious! Both of my partner and my personal favorite is the ahi hurricane. The tako kimchi was different because I've never had kimchi poke before but that was pretty awesome if you like Kimchi. I personally love wasabi and salmon so I really the combo they have there as well. The first day, I got the poke nachos which had a base layer of super crispy wonton chips. They are so freaking crispy and delicious if you are a crunchy fan like me. The second day we went, we just got a few 1/4 lbs of a few variety of poke and then got some rice on the side.

Amazing market. High quality seafood! The staff is extraordinary friendly. We loved to get samples with a honest advice before purchasing it.

A great bite in Hilo! Fresh Poke prepared daily with some staples (spicy, ahi, etc) and some unique combinations like Caesar Also have prawns and other seafood to try Recommend getting here early as they sell out of popular dishes towards the end of the day Plenty of street parking and tables to eat out front (or eat at a local beach on the go!)

I really enjoyed their poke and atmosphere. They had a BOGO special today for Ahi poke. Buy one pound, get one free. I wish I lived in Hilo, otherwise I would have done it! Driving back to Kona with 2 pounds of poke or eating it for 2 days while on a trip seems like madness. The sesame shoyu and spicy Ahi were good! Unfortunately (blessing in disguise) that they ran out of rice at 2pm today so I got salad instead. Skipping rice for lunch was actually good for me because we ate again shortly after. The staff were really friendly and I got the feeling they they enjoyed working there. I’d go there often if I lived in Hilo.

Lovely, lovely vegan and gluten free restaurant. Very happy to find this gem on the island! Fresh ingredients, locally sourced, and the cafe has a positive energy. Portion sizes are large and generous; honestly, I would have paid the same price for half a sandwich and the soup.

If you are vegan or not, you have to try their food, especially desserts. so delicious and fresh. If you are on the island, must try their food on or out of your way to volcano national park. Hopefully they will be in business when I return after few years. This cafe would be one of my reasons to visit big island.

The place itself is really nice and the menu offers plenty of healthy yet tasty choices. Everything is fully vegetarian and most dishes can also be made vegan, which is a big plus. Unfortunately, we were a bit unlucky with our picks. We ordered the avocado toast, which turned out to be just one slice of bread topped with avocado and some seeds. It felt quite small and underwhelming, especially since most places usually serve two slices. A few sprouts or something extra on top would have made it more interesting. We also tried the açaí bowl. The menu mentioned blueberry and strawberry but instead of being served in pieces or slices like the banana, they were blended into the açaí itself. The result was pretty uneventful and honestly we’ve had better açaí bowls elsewhere on the island.

Cute little café with a good selection for vegetarians. I tried the Chickpea Burger and the Ulu Burger, the Ulu Burger was enjoyable, while the Chickpea Burger could use a bit more flavor. The sourdough toast was fine as well. Overall, a nice spot to try at least once, especially if you’re looking for vegetarian-friendly options.

I would give 10 stars if I could. Super fresh food. Lots of gluten free and dairy free options. The cassava pizza is a MUST try. Beautiful spacious seating inside and out.

nr 1 was Cacao Nectar! so unique taste! pizza was great • salad as well • cakes chocolate also • if you nearby thats the place to eat!

This is a gem in Hilo! our family stopped here to eat before heading to the airport and what a great decision. Everything we had was tasty. For the record we are MEAT eaters and don't plan to make a lifestyle change anytime soon and I would choose to eat here ANY day of the week. Staff was friendly and quick. prices are a bit expensive but the food tastes so good and fresh you understand why it's at that price point. We had the soup, salad, burgers, smoothies, fresh juices, sandwiches, cakes and a couple assorted desserts. We ate ALOT and finished everything. Thank You Sweet Cane! We hope to visit again!

This was our favorite restaurant on the island! We tried the Smokey sashimi, sizzling poke, and Portuguese sausage pasta. Everything was delicious, but the pasta really exceeded expectations! Service was great and efficient too! Recommend calling ahead to make a reservation.

Moon & Turtle is a food heaven. The menu is reasonably short yet innovative and inclusive. The dishes are delicious, full of flavours yet perfectly balanced. It’s wrapped in intimate and friendly atmosphere of boutique restaurant, yet you feel like eating at home. Highlight of our visit to the island. Mahalo !

Great dining option in downtown Hilo offering a blend of traditional flavors mixed with dinner international influences. Book a table in advance. Good to share dishes. Cocktails are worth a try, too.

Everything at this restaurant comes from the big island of Hawaii! I have been here more times than I can count and have never had anything that tasted short of amazing! Every time someone visits me in Hilo, I have to take them here. Make sure to make a reservation before you go! It's a small restaurant and seating is limited.

It was my first time to this spot last weekend while I was visiting my ohana. My sister surprised me with reservations on a Friday night. I'm an world traveling foodie, I love to dine out, eat well and be doted on. So I'm not easily impressed. This placed rocked. From the quaint vintage Hilo atmosphere to the warm patient staff, and down to the epic dishes offered, my mind is blown. Check it out, probably the best spot in Hilo.

Absolutely incredible dining experience at Moon and Turtle in Hilo! Every single dish was insanely delicious — bursting with flavor and clearly made with so much care and creativity. The staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Each plate not only met our expectations — it exceeded them by a hundred times. If you’re visiting Hilo, this place is an absolute must. Can’t wait to come back!

We came here on 3/30 with 4 other friends. One of the better restaurants in Hilo. We ordered Smokey Sashimi, Mushroom Risotto, and Market Fish.

Popular restaurant with great ambience. There was about a 45 minute wait for a table on a Thursday evening. There was live music, and the atmosphere was cheery and bustling. The appetizers came out quickly, and the entrees followed soon after. I watched as everyone else got their food and started eating while my steak was still being prepared. Since the restaurant was busy, our waitress didn’t check in on us much, and we were seated in a corner where we were pretty much out of view. By the time my group had almost finished their meals, my steak still hadn’t shown up. We managed to flag the waitress down, and she said she’d check on it. It came out shortly after, but unfortunately what was supposed to be a medium steak came well done. We flagged her down again, and by that point, we were pretty disappointed with both the service and how the steak turned out. The waitress felt bad about the whole situation, took the steak back, and offered a complimentary dessert, which she wrapped up for takeout since we had to head out.

My family and I all came here and all 5 of us ordered something different. Let me tell you,everything we had was so delicious!! Even both my picky teens loved their food. Great place, great amotmosphere. Staff was super friendly and service was awesome. All around great place!

My husband and I ate here twice on our trip to the Big Island because we loved it so much the first time. We enjoyed all of our food and would have loved to have eaten every dinner here! The service was also great and the atmosphere very pleasant. We waited just a few minutes each time for a table, but under 10 for sure.

Just wow! The food here is amazing! I might be back several more times over the next week while in Hilo. The coconut crusted fresh catch was delicious, best I’ve had. The grilled fresh catch sandwich was also delicious, especially the homemade tartar sauce. The Pineapple Pow is a must try cocktail, and you can get for kids without the “pow” (alcohol). We tried the triple lilikoi pie which was outstanding. Service was excellent too, but it’s a small place so it likely gets busy during peak times. Plenty to walk and see in the area while waiting for a table.

Calamari, Hilo local plate and triple Lilokoi pie was enough food for 2! Yummy food, open air restaurant with fun vibe and live music that is just the right kind and level so that you can relax and have a pleasant conversation while enjoying your meal. Wait staff were quite attentive and friendly. Very well priced meals.

The restaurant has a nice vibe and a cozy street-corner location, making it a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy a drink. However, the overall style feels more Americanized rather than truly local Hawaiian. We ordered the Mai Tai flight, which came beautifully presented but was a bit too sweet for our taste. The Hilo Local Plate had decent variety, but again, the flavors leaned quite sweet. The Coconut Ginger Mussels were also super sweet, and the portion was small and didn’t feel worth the price. Overall, we didn’t quite enjoy the food. If you want a more authentic local Hawaiian experience, there are better options nearby

Cas was amazing! She was friendly and made our time fly by! We tried the Poke Tower, Nachos and fresh fish sandwhich. Everything was amazing and fresh! We cant recommend this place enough. The live music was also a plus! 10/10

We stopped by today for some burgers to go, burgers were a 5 star, fries were 3 stars, service was 5 star. Our server was amazing, she sat us down, brought us ice water, treated us to a lovely moment where she visited a very well behaved doggo at the next table, brought him some fries. They sent our orders in boxes, they were for seltzer I believe, very handy. I had the Caprese Burger, Ciabtta bun, tasty burger, nice mozzarella, large tomatoe slice, very ripe. I'd have had it again for dinner if we were close. We are spoiled, we get beef from my first cousin and the ground beef is amazing. This patty was a close second. The Balsamic reduction was the kicker.

Typical Hilo prices with a friendly staff. Clean bathrooms and resturant. Must enter through the front to be seated even for patio. Parking is limited and off street right in front. Was a nice visit, I enjoyed my chicken ceasar salad. Burger were okay, expected more honestly. Sweet potato fries rocked! Its one of the nicer resturants to eat and even though it looks small its actually pretty big.

During our week-long stay on the Big Island, we made a deliberate effort to patronize local, family-owned businesses, and our encounter with this burger establishment was particularly fortunate. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by live music and a spacious seating arrangement that accommodated both indoor and lanai areas. The burgers, prepared to our specifications, surpassed our expectations in terms of quality. In observance of my birthday, the staff demonstrated exceptional customer service by providing a complimentary burger. However, the limited parking capacity, with only a few spaces available in the front and rear, posed a significant challenge, nearly discouraging us from visiting and ultimately necessitating parking at Long's Drugs but other than that we had an amazing time

Love the wide variety of options they got going on here, had a wonderful convo with a server who was frequently checking up on me, and it just feels really homey. The food itself was solid I devoured the fries really. And honestly relative to how damn expensive this island is it wasn’t bad, 5/5 will be coming again

The place is open till 9pm unlike many that close a little earlier and they take orders till 9pm is the only pro of this place. We ordered a turkey burger and salmon burger. Both were average at best - the buns were stale and dry, the burgers had no flavour and tasted like a dry bun with a patty. The fries were just sad! The service was very slow and erratic. We had to ask for everything twice - straws, condiments! There was live music until 8:30pm, which was also a positive for the atmosphere.

Classic Burger bar, nice ambiance, and optional outdoor seating. Wait to be seated area is very small in the entryway, it needs some more space to wait or a seating area outside for people waiting to get in. Meal sides are options of coleslaw, fries, soybeans or salad. I got fries. Pretty good, maybe a little too crunchy. $18 for simple meals, $21 and up for more expensive ones. Their flagship Hilo Burger is $21 an and comes with 2 patties, bacon, pickles, onions tomatoe and sauce. Good bang for your buck. Very tasty, and served on a large but light, Brioche bun. Overall a great Burger experience. I haven't had time to try the beer or Bar yet, but it looks nice.

We went for a late lunch. We were seated immediately. You can see from the photos that it wasn't very crowded. The food was delicious. We all ordered some sort of hamburger. When the food arrived, we were so hungry, that I didn't take any photos of the burgers. If we ever find ourselves back in Hilo, we will definitely come back.

After living on the Big Island for 12 years, we finally made it in—and let’s just say we’re already planning our next visit. We arrived a bit early, so we started with drinks at the bar (excellent pours, by the way) before moving to our table, where the service was warm and attentive from start to finish. We began with the escargot, which, honestly, is the best we’ve had on island: buttery, garlicky, and perfectly tender. We also shared a shrimp dynamite roll that was fresh, balanced, and made exactly as it should be—each bite delivering that satisfying crunch and spice without overpowering the delicate shrimp. For our main, we split the 16-ounce cut prime rib, cooked to absolute perfection and served juicy and flavorful, with each bite reminding us why we love a classic done right. It’s rare to find a spot that nails the food, service, price, and overall vibe all in one, but this place delivered. We’re already looking forward to coming back—and next time, we’ll be saving room for dessert.

This restaurant is the greatest. They delivery fresh and delicious quality food. Especially the oysters, duck breast and escargots. Very impressive. Well done Chef!

Our party of 4 was very pleased in every aspect of our dinner. Blackened ahi, Mac nut crusted ahi, volcano shrimp, poke nachos, raw oysters, and cocktails! Great service! Can't wait to go again and try more flavors!

Classy restaurant, with lovely views of their pond, and Four Miles beach on the other side. Service from Tako for reservation on phone was extremely pleasant. When we arrived on 10/18/25, our server "Michelle" was sweet, patient, and attentive. Our dishes were incredible! We started with Kumamoto Oysters and Shishito peppers: EXCELLENT! I had Steak & Lobster, which was perfect. Husband had Chinese Style Ehu, and he loved it. The Black tables and chairs were comfortable and beautiful. Scenery is delicate, with lovely orchids inside. Entire vibe, which is one of tranquility, is priceless. Affordable too, so treat yourself to the best! Mahalo nui, Seaside Restaurant.

This popular local restaurant is worth considering for dinner, but ensure they have an available table or make a reservation in advance. Despite high expectations from reviews, our dining experience wasn't particularly special. Waiting over 50 minutes for our sushi roll and a mix-up in cooking the fish extended our wait time to over an hour. The Spicy Ahi Bombs were flavorful, the Seaside Roll was okay but had a specific taste we didn't favor, and the Fresh Catch of the day (Ono with linguine) was well-cooked but lacked a distinctive flair.

We gathered here for family dinner and conversation before we left the next day to return to our transplant home in the mainland. The Seaside Restaurant has been a family favorite for many years for special occasions. The food is delicious, flavorful and served with a smile. We enjoyed multiple appetizers and dessert along with our main dinner meal. No complaints from any of the family members. The 3 course dinner menu option is long gone, but we will always return when we are in town.

Seafood is always done right! The host was really nice he told us the daily specials and some recommendations. We ordered the poke nachos and shrimp dynamite roll for starters and the blackened ahi and the New York steak & lobster for dinner. Everything tasted delicious and was cooked to perfection. It did take quite a while for our order to come out and it was a bit loud making it hard to converse. The restaurant is a bit dated but the view of the pond makes up for it.

On my last day in Hilo I made a stop here for breakfast. Came right when it opened and ordered the kalua pork plate with mac salad and purple sweet potato salad. I deeply regret not having tried this earlier during my trip because it was AMAZING. I specifically wanted the purple sweet potato salad which blew my mind. The plate was light, savory, and refreshing all at once. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Wow wow wow! The flavors are ridiculously delicious and has a great kick! I ordered a spicey ahi poke bowl with the kitchen cucumbers and it tasted glorious. This is a solid poke restaurant and the fish is so fresh! I will absolutely be returning here the next time I visit Hilo because the flavors were so good. I've never tasted kimchi this good and look forward to trying it again!

The poke was fresh but the selection was a bit limited. The purple sweet potato side was delicious and worth trying. Overall a decent spot for a quick meal.

Small shop with big food items. Been here before for poke. Just needed a burger, got the Bleu cheese and fries. Very good.

They didn’t have a huge selection- just three. We tried two of them and liked them. I didn’t like the flavors I got as much but the poke was still fresh.

Amazing poke, very fresh. All of the side options were delicious as well, fries superb too! Afterwards we got shaved ice in the same building, wow. You can definitely tell the flavors are made from real ingredients, we'll come back again before we go home for sure. Highly recommend!!

Food so good, we ate here twice in the 2 full days we were in Hilo. Poke is fresh and delicious with our favs being the Hawaiian and Shoyu. I also really enjoyed the Korean fried chicken plate. Seems like they separately fry the chicken skin, which tastes exactly like you'd think... Amazing! Definitely try this place if you're in Hilo.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mohala’s Bayfront Fish and Chips is absolutely fantastic! The service is incredible — fast, attentive, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. Definitely a must-visit spot for great food and even better hospitality!

Always ono seafood, and friendly service! Love the laid back environment, perfectly suited for Hilo Town. We actually live in Oahu, so every time we can visit Big Island, Mo's is our last stop before heading out. Never disappoints!

Go here. Would recommend to everyone, would go back when I get back to Hilo. Atmosphere is 10 stars, in Hilo!!!!! Cuz it in Hilo. U get a decent amount of fish, great quality fish. I was full and content.

The food was excellent. We had scallops and fish. And of course onion rings! Everything was Panko coated and cooked to perfection. Liz waited on us and she was just fantastic! Thanks for everything! You absolutely must stop here for a meal. Highly recommend.

Excellent Fish and Chips and we also had the Fried Chicken Tenders with fries. Our tour guide recommended this place and he did not steer us wrong! Everything was served hot and delicious. Great service also. Five star all the way!

Adorable little restaurant with so many things to look at on the walls. Food was excellent.

Absolutely everything on the menu was a winner. We came on a Sunday where almost everything was closed but this was a godsend! I loved the shrimp whether in a boil or fried. The clam chowder was yummy! Quiet vibe and fantastic food equals amazing.
