5. Seiji's Sushi

Tucked away in the back side of Fish Hopper restaurant in Kailua Kona is Seijiâs Sushi. A yellow sandwich board sign on the sidewalk across from the bay points you to a small, intimate eating place run by Seiji and Chie. Itâs a good idea to call for a reservation because people who love authentic Japanese food have discovered Seijiâs. While the freshest sushi and sashimi are highlighted, the menu also has delectably prepared tempuras, unagi don, and sobas as well a variety of starters and salads. A big plus is that you can call in a requested dish and theyâll make it! Chie prepared a wonderful okonomiyaki (omelet pancake with shrimp and squid). The Nigiri Sushi Special with assorted tuna, hamachi and mackerel and California Rolls was as fresh as you will ever find!

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!

During our stay at the fabulous Four Seasons Hualalai, we had the pleasure of eating breakfast at Ulu several mornings and enjoyed a romantic dinner, overlooking the sparkling Pacific Ocean at sunset. Dinner was a showstopper. Appetizers included oysters, shrimp potstickers, and octopus. The shrimp potstickers may very well be my new favorite food! Do not miss these treasures! My husband is an oyster lover, and the oysters at Ulu were among the best he had ever tasted. They served the fresh Hualalai oysters that are harvested onsite, with a couple of different sauces and a small bottle of their homemade Hawaiian chili pepper hot sauce, which is outstanding. I wish there was a way to bring their specialty hot sauce home. The octopus was excellent and beautifully presented. All three appetizers were winners.As a main course, I ordered the Charred Hawaiian Hapu'upu'u, which was cooked to perfection and served with lemongrass creamed Hilo corn, romesco, and yuzu beurre blanc. It. Was. AMAZING! The pairing of the fish with the corn, romesco, and yuzu beurre blanc was perfection. My husband opted for the Cold Water Lobster Tails entree, which was served with Dungeness crab, chuka soba noodles, uni butter, and salted egg yolk. It was a masterpiece! We still had the Hawaiian chili pepper hot sauce from the oysters, so he added a few drops to the soba noodles to give them a little kick. Both of our entrees were spectacular. For dessert, we shared the souffle special of the night, which was Kona coffee with toffee, and we absolutely loved it. Our server who orchestrated this beautifully choreographed meal, Bronson, was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and professional. He made our evening extra special and our anniversary dinner unforgettable. Ulu manager, Paul Jennette, even welcomed us and introduced us to the incredible executive chef, Thomas Bellec, who was just as charming. Our entire Ulu dinner experience was above and beyond. The phenomenal food, sensational view, and xenial team, together make Ulu a dining experience like no other. If you want to experience breakfast in paradise, this is it! Breakfast options are plentiful and there is also a buffet option. This trip, we only ordered from the menu and did not partake in the buffet, but it looked plentiful, clean, and well organized. Over several days, we tried a variety of their breakfast specialties. Our favorites included the divine coconut tapioca with fresh fruit, the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon (just ask and they will gladly swap salmon for the bacon), the lemon ricotta pancakes, the Hualalai pancakes with lilikoi syrup, the acai bowl, and their French press Kona Coffee. You really can't go wrong with any of the breakfast selections, and the view is ethereal. Starting off the day, and ending the day at Ulu made for ultimate vacation dining experience. We will definitely be back! Aloha grlgrdgate,Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your experiences at Ulu Restaurant. We always strive to provide our guests the best to create a memorable stay. I'll definitely be sure to share this with our Service and Culinary team at Ulu. We hope to see you back very soon at Hualalai! Alessandro CartuminiDirector of Food & [email protected]
