Went to Akaka Falls in the morning and stopped here for lunch (it’s only a few minutes drive). We were greeted by 3 different people when we arrived. So friendly. We purchased a cold beverage from the market and sat outside for a few minutes before ordering lunch. We had the reuben and the cubano. Both came with ulu macaroni salad. DELICIOUS! Food was fresh and tasty. Don’t pass this up!

We had the Chicken Kalbi sandwich, and it was really good, so much flavour and big portions. Also the pickles were so crunchy, we went for seconds. A pleasant and must do stop before you go on the scenic rainforest drive towards Hilo. They have fresh fruits and great collection in the store too. Such a homely kitchen where it feels like the chefs have a passion to serve good food to folks.

This was probably one of the best meals we had in the island. Everything from the kalua pork nachos to the cubano and the kimchi reuben were fantastic. Price was reasonable, and the small patio is lovely. I also liked the store, which carries local goods. We will be back!

We have lived in Ninole,Hawaii for seven years, we like to eat here at least once per month and get shaved ice with the special topping.
The place is awesome, clean and cozy. It is perfect for locals and saucey tourists. The food is great and a large variety for everyones taste. You can get a vegetarian dish if you want too.
The prices are fair, the area is great, view of the Pacific Ocean. Plenty of parking across the street if necessary.
The food is fresh and always made just for you, once you order it. Fresh everything.
All dishes I have ever ordered have been really good.
The employees are very friendly and helpful.
Are overall experience has always been great.
Merry Christmas everybody. In Hawaii we are very pro Christmas and we love the Lord, Jesus Christ our Savior.
We are proud people.
Maverick from Ninole. Hawaii on the heritage Hamakua Coast.
God Bless you all.

From the street, this little spot isn’t exactly screaming “culinary adventure” — more like “blink and you’ll miss it.” But once you settle into their cozy outdoor seating, the magic starts.

The pork tacos were tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of zest, while the Caprese sandwich was fresh, bright, and stacked with juicy tomatoes, macadamia nut pesto and creamy mozzarella.

Service was warm, quick, and genuinely friendly — the kind that makes you feel like you belong.

This little place is proof that looks can be deceiving, and good food doesn’t need a flashy façade.

Enjoy the locally grown produce to go as well!

Excellent food Excellent and friendly service. We were warmly greeted. We felt like we were their only customers. They truly conveyed their thankfulness for us being customers with them. We had fish tacos which were very tasty. The pineapple salsa was out of this world, I definitely recommend it with your fish tacos.

Great lunch stop on the drive up the coast.
Delicious cubano with the best homemade pickles! Yummy shave ice. Well worth the stop. We enjoyed lunch with a great view of the ocean and a cool ocean breeze.

Amazing! Perfect spot for distant ocean view, shaded patio, and amazing local food with top-notch Customer Service! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. And Fly was a very gracious and welcoming. Don’t miss the shaved ice with a snow cap too!

This is a hole in the wall local place that was great. We were touring the big island and found this place on google and just had to check it out.

I had the tacos and the wife had a grilled sandwich. Her lunch came with macaroni salad and house made pickles. Seating is outside at picnic tables and there were chickens to entertain us while we waited for our food to be prepared.

We saw several locals eating there so it is definitely a local dining spot.
