Agreed about Luqins that place in filthy. The prices are also absurd.
On a semi-related note I don't particularly care for the fare at Lucy's (In Hilo) but I am regularly astounded by their staunch cleanliness. I don't hesitate when I say that Lucy's is easily the cleanest Mexican reatyrant i've ever patroned.
I really like the beef tenderloin with mushrooms in a red wine reduction at Kaleo's but their prices are also absurd and I don't care for their service. I feel like a second class citizen at Kaleo's and will probably not patron their establishment in the future.
When it comes down to it Ning's is by far my favorite in Pahoa. The BYOB is of course irresistible. Their service and demeanor is impeccable.
The whole Longs thru Malama area makes me wince. Much akin to driving through Hilo around the Mall / Big Box Land.
I will go out of my way (kinda) to take the postal service road or the light by the schools (kapoho-pahoa road) to get onto 130 instead of attempting to navigate the death trap - I think Kalakoa so aptly named - "criss-cross crash".
If there is ever another alternate route maybe it could completely bypass the malama/longs/kahakai death-trap and take you into and out of lower puna independent of "criss-cross crash".
