I eat a lot of Thai food and this is one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The pad thai was amazing and I was so sad when the plate was empty! The service was great as well.

A former Wendy's restaurant completely redone.

Sam Choy is a legend in Hawaii. But he is not in the kitchen of this restaurant. The description of the food was tempting, but it just did not quite deliver. We had the fresh fish, and it was dry.My suggestion. Go for Sunset. The view is the BEST. They do great cocktails. The pupu menu is standard but well done ( calamari was great!)And as other reviews note, the staff is great. Friendly and professional

We came here for our first dinner in Kona this trip. The food was every bit as good as the other reviews suggest, if not a bit better (we are foodies). Service was delightful -- and the pricing was exceptionally reasonable for Kailua-Kona. Well worth finding the place!

The food is GREAT and the portions are HUGE. We started by ordering the chicken and shrimp spring rolls. When the plate was brought with the chicken rolls we thought that it was both the chicken and shrimp spring rolls because it was so huge. Then they brought the shrimp! The fried rice was also fantastic. We had left-overs that we ate for another dinner. They also do very good carry-out but they close at 9 so you have to get your order in by 8:30. Shrimp rolls, chicken rolls, fried rice and beers cost $41. Not expensive at all.

Firstly, I wasn't expecting this place to be a sports bar so that was kind of disappointing. Secondly, we were SO looking forward to this poke - but the poke we'd bought at the local supermarket (Foodland in Waikoloa) was way better than Umeke's. The fish tacos were also good but nothing special. Pretty disappointed as we were expecting this place to be really good! The staff was, on the other hand, amazing! Very friendly and helpful.Aloha,Thank you for your honest review. We feel sorry that you did not enjoy your meal with us. This is not the normal experience one should have at our restaurants. What makes our poke and seafood dishes so special is that we only serve the freshest fish from Hawaiian waters, with each batch of poke made in small portions to ensure the highest quality and freshness. We incorporate both traditional Hawaiian recipes and also infuse popular local dishes with modern twists. Umekes has received numerous awards for our poke and seafood dishes, and have even been featured on a few Food Network TV shows.If you have any suggestions on how we can improve or if you could provide further details about your negative experience, we would love to hear your thoughts as we are always looking to improve. If you could please email [email protected] we would sincerely appreciate your input.We hope you will give us another chance someday soon,Umekes Management Team

We eat Thai food in MN about once a month at various restaurants. Thai food is always super flavorful and delicious. This place was the exact opposite, extremely bland and super watery. It was seriously the worst "Thai" food I have ever had. Only positive was the server was friendly. Don't waste your money.

We ate here on a very busy Monday, Presidents Day. They were short staffed but doing pretty good despite that. My "Poor" review is not based on the service at all, just the food. It's a family run establishment and they are very nice and friendly. We had heard really good things about it and a local woman recommended it so we decided to try it. We ordered the fried Hawaiian sweet potato appetizer. It was very bland with no spice at all and the sauce that came with it was also very bland, no spice or seasoning for either. I ordered the Panang Curry with chicken and asked for it to be Medium spicy. They have a disclaimer sign up saying that they do not refund if your meal is too spicy. Not a problem here, it was hardly spicy at all, mild at best. Not only wasn't it spicy but there was very little flavor or color to the Panang curry which is usually very colorful and tasty at most Thai restaurants even if there isn't much spice to it. Our meals also came out Luke warm, probably because there were tow women doing everything in a packed restaurant. Not their fault really but the food should have tasted better even if it was cold when it arrived. Very disappointing considering all of their good reviews. Since there are several other Thai restaurants in Kona town I probably wouldn't eat here again.

Happy hour is the time to be there - We had several different rolls, and the quality ranged from middling to fairly good. There was nothing great, and nothing terrible - but the price was low (for the area), and it's popular, so expect a line before happy hour starts. We liked the salon skin roll, the spider toll and the lilikoi martini. We found the salmon avocado roll and the yellowtail roll reasonably good but with a far smaller portion (not as good a value). The eel roll wasn't great ... and the calamari was nothing special, what you might have gotten anywhere.We were super impressed with the bartender - she not only made all the drinks and waited on the bar patrons, she also managed two bar waitresses, and was more on top of their customers needs than they were. She will go far.

Sushi Shiono is without a doubt the best sushi restaurant on the Big Island of Hawaii. We offer only the finest and freshest selections of fresh fish from all over the world, including lots of local Kona fish expertly prepared and served with love.

We had a great sushi dinner at Sushi Shiono with friends on the big island. We had a large party including two kids, and the staff were friendly and accommodating with what we needed. The sushi selection was excellent, including fresh Uni, and the combination meals were a big hit with the families. We also enjoyed some delicious cold sake and beer. Reservations are a must - Shiono is small and popular so make sure you book ahead so you won't be disappointed.

Consistent food and service is where Shimaichi Sushi shines. I've gone there a few times, and I'll go again. I went with business associates the first time and we were all hungry, and had to wait because they were busy. Once seated, I told the server we were really hungry and asked if they could bring us some rice, edamame, and beers ASAP while we looked at the menu. The server followed through immediately with my request and we were so grateful (the server was sharp, caring, and did the right thing). The food is also excellent ... definitely give them a try!
