Lucy's Tacqueria
Sombat's Thai
Hawaiian Style Cafe (good place to try local stuff)
Pahoa Fresh Fish (Fried Mahi Mahi, Ono, Cod, Salmon, Crab cakes)
Maku'u Market on Sunday (Papaya salad, Nachos, Crepes, Filipino, ice cream truck)
Uncle Robert's on Wednesday (if can. taco stand outside, brick oven pizza, where are they now?)
Pizza Hawaii's Pizza Bakes
Hilo town tavern (wings, fries, beer)
Tex's Malasadas
That ice cream place in Honokaa
Baskin Robbins on the 31st
Of course you have to try poke, most grocery stores will serve it, or go straight to Suisan. 1/3 lb or 1/2 lb + a scoop of rice is usually a better deal than their "bowls". Also try lomi lomi (like salmon pico de gallo) with tortilla chips or on cottage cheese. And cucumber kimchee.
ETA: Kamana Kitchen (Indian) only went once but the royal platter was a good deal for two people to share.
