We’re definitely checking these places out on our next trip to “da big island”…We were just there three weeks ago and we’re talking about going back again in early Dec. as a gift to my wife and I for Christmas …We love the food,,,the people and the Hawaiian hospitality…

Great video looks like you guys had a blast! I love the storytelling, looking forward to visiting these places and following your journeys!

I loved Moon and turtle in Hilo, absolutely unreal. Coming from the UK, I was so excited to see how the cuisine would be. Moon and Turtle is one of the best places I’ve eaten.

Great video. We'll us that info in 2024 when we're on your island

Thank you for sharing

No one should miss the authentic Japanese Taiyaki (called O’z Kitchen, so new don’t have a google page yet) in Captain Cook. Same spot as Randy’s Huli chicken except Thursday and Friday. Their Taiyaki is the most delicious food I had during my three-week vacation on Big Island.

Thankyou 😊❤😊

Thank you.

My favorite place is the Big Island Grill in Kona

When I lived on the big island, we used to go to the canoe House and stay at Mauna lani, that’s when Alan Wong was head chef… opaka’paka pasta with asparagus and Chinese black beans. That was 28 years ago….

🌈🌴Aloha from Captain Cook really enjoyed your travel log. Next time.maybe try wear leis and put a flower 🌺 plumeria known as frangipane...every wear else in the young girl's hair. Aloha 🌈🌴

there are a lot of local eating places tucked away from the hotel scene, in Waimea, Kohala Kailua, Kealakekua and so on.

Hawaiian Style Cafe and Ken's Pancake House beats everything on the list

Don't forget Managos! For Hilo side, I'd recommend tex drive in malasadas, Hilo lunch shop or Kawamotos (take out lunch cause no seating, and always long line), cafe 100 for loco mocos only, Le umu in Keaau if you like try something different (samoan food), mt view bakery (sometimes they close so call before hand), and KMC bowling alley for cheap eats in volcano national park for the little one to unwind in the gameroom.

What do you like about Ken's Pancake House? I mean it's nice that they're the only game in town late at night and I have lots of fond memories eating there after last call at the bars but the food is just average. I mean pancakes are good and I always thought their real crab meat omelet was great but Hawaiian Style basically beats them out for just about everything other than hours open.

@@skynsidhawaii Some nice suggestions. I'm a little surprised about Cafe 100. I mean since I grew up in Hilo I'm pretty proud of it being the home of the loco moco but I always thought theirs was stuck in the past and very average. Other side of the island but Big Island Grill had awesome ones. I remember I liked Hawaiian Style Cafe as well and I believe it was Kuhio Grill with the fried rice version. But to each their own and I know I'm in the minority when it comes to Cafe 100.

Great video and detail! We're staying by Mauna Lani in Sept and then Nov- I'm excited to go to Canoe House and for breakfast too-

We will be staying at Maura Lani Point by Hyatt. Is that same as Mauna Lani Resort?

@lifeofsup

3 жыл бұрын

I believe it’s in the same area, but different resort entirely. I believe the Mauna Lani Point is more condo style rentals and the decor is different for each unit, but they have a kitchen and even washer / dryers in each unit. Mauna Lani Resort is run by Auberge and is more of a high end resort.

great reviews. Try to shoot everything in Horizontal mode looks so much better and professional.

What about Merimans ya?! Or San Sei in the queens shops in waikoloa?! I would say KPC but nahhh lol they arent what they use to be sadly. Speaking of broke da mouth, the brewery!!! I agree with you there! Very good!

I'm planning an itinerary right now cos we're going to big island on the next 2weeks and this video really helps a lot. Mahalo!

Thanks for the great video. Really like your narration. I'll have to try Canoe House for a special dinner when I move back to Hawaii Island. Small advisement. It's pronounced Poh-Kay. Not Pokee. :) just so you know.

You should definitely go, it's a great place. I've been a couple of time over the years and would rate it pretty high. Also, Pokee was getting to me as well! :)

My sister actually got married at the lava lava beach club in 2015! My fiance and I tried to do the same thing for next year but they unfortunately only offer a full restaurant lease out now :( great place tho lol

The Fish place is actually above Kawaihai and not in Kamuala-Waimea.

Da fish house is da place for da unbelievable local dishes....in Kawaihae.

This girl is so cute, how could i not comment. Amazing video thank you.

What about Hilo?

just to let you know you got more than one location incorrect

Why you not looking at the camera. WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING

Overall the video is ok. I cringe hearing the local and Hawaiian words being destroyed. Please learn the proper way to pronounce, “kailua” and “poke” just to name a couple. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

THE FOOD LOOKED YUCKY.....UYYYY
