Hilo Eats !

[Rob L]

When I came to Pahoa and realized that such a small town had TWO good Thai resturants, I knew I was in a place I could call home. I'm in Bangkok frequently and have many Thai friends, so I know a thing or two about Thai food.

Aloha,

We went to the "other" Thai restaurant in Pahoa (I don't remember the name either) in our first week in Puna. We thought that the food was a very good rendition of standard dishes, but that the menu did not show a lot of creativity. The restaurant was almost empty, and service was friendly but slow. Then someone recommended Ning's, and we tried it and found that the quality was at least as good as the first place and the menu was much more interesting. We went back to Ning's almost weekly for the rest of our stay. The service was almost always at least somewhat chaotic, but the food was worth the wait.

Actually John I wasnt thinking about Sharky's but the farm Rick has up in the back country of HA.... KCC is up there too and has a shop on Hwy 11.

I used to have Sharky's coffee when I worked at Akaka Falls Inn years ago but hadnt seen him in a long time. Glad to know he is still around.

You can get Sharky's Coffee byt calling Scott or Sylvia (the owners) at 960-9720 or at their web site www.sharkyscoffee.com. They did not have ANY coffee for three months but they just roasted new growth. My favorite is the French Roast. Say hello to them for me, will you?

The best place to buy meats for home is George's Meat Market in Hilo. EVERYTHING there is GREAT!!!!

When on BI last year I discovered Lucy's Okazuya(Probably not spelled correctly). Takeout only, and don't bother after 11:30AM as it will be all gone. It's in upper Hilo, I believe on Kaumana Drive.

So its George's Meats for meat.
How about fish?
KTA does well for me most of the time, but I'm also looking for a well stocked fish market.

Any suggestions for great fish?

Try Suisan in Hilo for fresh fish.
