Sam Choy's Kai Lanai

A former Wendy's restaurant completely redone.

Reviewed By JuneKaimuki

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 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.

Kenichi Pacific

Reviewed By T9-Orca

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.

TK Noodle House Kainaliu

Reviewed By rationalbluebird

A restaurant with noodle house in its name in Hawaii should do good saimin - right? Well, TK's doesn't! The broth is thin and flavorless. The meat - chicken and pork - was apparently dumped in water and boiled; it comes in flavorless lumps too big to eat in one mouthful. The greens are cut so big that it's impossible to eat them without making a mess.My husband wisely chose the poke bowl, which he liked.The service was slow. We had to ask for water twice.The ladies room wasn't terribly clean.Give this place a miss!

Beijing Garden

Reviewed By CRoberts1

Beijing Garden is under new management, and sadly the food isn't as good as it used to be. The variety and quality of ingredients has gone down, and the food is now very oily. Service is also less friendly than it used to be. I miss the previous owners and hope that the new management dedicates itself to providing higher-quality food than it does right now. It's gone from very good to disappointing.

This shopping plaza you will find another fave of ours, Choicemart...excellent grocery, local items - just big enough and very pleasant staff as well.

Junjira Fresh Thai Kitchen

Although this great new restaurant is in Captain Cook the Strip Mall is actually called the Kealakekua Ranch Center. It is located below the grocery store Choice Mart .

Reviewed By charley-marley

I can't believe I haven't left a review for Junjiras yet. We eat here quite often, and we enjoy everything about it.The owners are really nice, and everyone is always super friendly when you go in.It is a small walk in place you go to order and take the food out. You can take it outside, where there are chairs to eat- or you can take it home.We love close, so always take it home.The food is always made to order, so please don't go as expect to be in and out in 5 minutes. An order of 2 dishes will take about 10-15 min.I like to call in my order and pick it up.Everything we have eaten here has been good, there's nothing I can say to stay away from.It seems Thai is the new sushi in Kona, as there are no less than a dozen Thai restaurants here. Some are good, some not as much. Junjira is up there, and even better because it's only a 3 minute drive from home. We are lucky to have such a good place up mauka, and not be forced to drive all the way to town for good Thai food.

Thai Grindz and More

Reviewed By Jun R

When you're driving down hwy 11 from Kailua Kona towards South Point it can be tough to find a place for a decent meal. This food truck is a godsend. Right around the Honaunau area look out for signs announcing a food truck coming up. Run by a very friendly husband and wife team (she's originally from Thailand) this place serves up good Thai food as well as interesting takes on traditional comfort food. They have a couple of tables set up so you can enjoy lunch by the roadside under a macadamia tree. Different takes on Loco Moco... all very good... yes, we tried them all. Very cool place.

Teshima's

Reviewed By GC404

This is a classic Big Island local eatery that’s worth checking out whenever you’re heading south of Kona :)). It’s been in operation since the 1920s and features excellent Japanese cuisine, including super Ono misoyaki style blackcod (mmmm!). My oyako donburi was really tasty too... The service was exceptionally courteous, quick, and efficient... prices were reasonable as well :). BTW, they’re open early for breakfast too... If you’re seeking a good Japanese restaurant, give Teshima’s a try... enjoy!

Keei Cafe

Reviewed By Goldrichie

What a cracker of an eatery. Everything we had was delicious, especially the seafood pasta which is easy to mangle in lesser hands,. The owners young children took delight in serving the tables and good on them for learning responsibilities in this regard. This place as far as we can tell is the absolute stand out in the area around Captain Cook. We heartily agree with everyone who has rated this highly. It is wise to book as it is very popular, but we walked up and got an inside table on a week night in summer. Plenty of car parking off street.
