Mom and Pop eateries

[VancouverIslander]

Poke to Your Taste. Nothing like making your own poke bowl the way you like it! For breakfasts there's a little place across Kilauea from Lucy's (maybe a few doors down). I can't recall the name, but definitely a mom and pop operation that makes you feel you are putting your money back into the community. Royal Siam Restaurant just up from the Hilo market has good Thai and it seems to be an all in the family operation. Mountain View Bakery does have employees, but it's still a small town local style place for sure (get there early cause they sell out quick!) Pretty sure I could go on all day. There are more places to check out than a person has meals to eat, especially for people like me who like to cook at home.
