a very unassuming place with just about no atmosphere, but the food has been very good each time we have gone there. Order from the specials on the board and you won't be disappointed!

A nice lunch stop between Kona and Volcano, Hana Hou serves typical small town plate lunches with Hawaiian authenticity. The baked goods are particularly tasty and attractive. The restaurant is not fancy and the bathrooms are less than, but this is still a good choice.

Ate here twice while staying at the south end of island... The breakfast meals where wonderful ...comes with big slice of corn bread, Portuguese sausage with eggs gotta have it.. Then there's the passion bars and lemon bars, oh my these are beyond good...bought 4 to take to Maui with us ....ice cold milk and one of these bars ....heaven!!!

My husband and I stopped here for lunch after reading great reviews.

I love visiting the Hana Hou when I'm in town. The deserts are amazing and it's hard for me to choose between the coconut cream pie and the mac nut cream pie. Even thought I don't eat much sugar, I forget about that when I come here. The chicken salad with mango is my favorite dish.

This diner is like eating in your Aunt's kitchen in 1965. The food is hearty and good, with some wonderful healthy options. The desserts are just like mom used to make. Hana Hou is one of the few restaurants on this South Side of the Big Island, and we just enjoyed every bite.

The baked goods (turnovers) we got here for the next morning's breakfast were good. The meal we had left much to be desired. The lau lau plate was virtually flavorless. Wife enjoyed the loco moco and there was plenty of it.
