Puka Puka Kitchen

Go! Service was great. Food is great! Prices very reasonable. Special $9 Veggie curry, nice variety of veg & flavor over rice Special $23 Miso mahi over garlic rice and side salad. It was SO ONO!! They really do a great job, we will be back!

This is the perfect hidden gem every tourist wants—went twice already ! Amazing food, super friendly service, and crazy cheap prices. A true hidden gem you can’t miss!

They need some help with the service. That lunch took way too long, we had to repeat our order many times, it took forever to take order, then for over half an hour we didn't hear anything, they were still confused about our order.

Old Hilo Town vibe. Local bento diner at Bay Front. Decided to eat in. There is about 3 tables for seating. Bentos are made. So grab n go seems like a convenient Local Japanese Fusion stop. I got the Seafood Plate and the Chicken Katsu. Side note. Ordered fries on the side. They are large potatoe wedeges. I enjoyed them. Some people are particular about fries. FYI.. Decent sized portion for the price. I was full. Support Local Businesses.

Pick up the miso chicken! Delightful, rice was curry esk seasoned and delicious as well. I was surprised by how awesome the food was. Atmosphere was, well it's a hole in the wall but great food, I would certainly return over and over again!

The food here is great. The service is great. There's only 3 tables so you're probably better off getting takeout. The rice here stole the show. The falafel pita was pretty good though difficult to eat. They were out of a few items as well. The rice and service keep this place at 5 🌟

Go for the garlic rice alone. Seriously. It haunts our dreams. We’re already brainstorming on how to reverse-engineer a vaguely-similar version of it when we get back home. We also loved the host and felt very well taken care of. What a gem! 💎

Our 22 meals were tasty nutritious and filling! Great service too. What was in the rice? Delicious. Highly recommend. If you are feeding teams like us, ring ahead. Food was still hot when we got them back to hotel rooms. Thank you Hilo x
