One of the best places to go in Hilo more

I would have never gone here since it is in a strip mall between Walmart and Office Max. I am glad that I trusted my guide book and did. The food is incredible and the wait staff was friendly and quick. We thought about driving back to Hilo (30 minutes) just to go back a second time to try the... more

While staying at a B&B in Hilo our host suggested that we try the Hilo Bay Cafe. At the time we really just wanted Chinese, but I'm glad that he steered us in the right direction.

We were told about this restaurant by our B & B hosts and we were not disappointed. The flavors were great, and the portions just right. And it was the only place in Hawaii that didnt' strain our wallets! It was an excellent little restaurant with great dishes. We'd go again if we just didn't have to fly 9 hours... more
