"Terrific. Fresh food - excellent fresh fish (ono) and lovely beef pattie in a Loco Moco. Interesting coleslaw. Large serves.
Topped off with friendly service and relaxed, local vibe. Highly recommended."
"My dinner was great! I couldn't make up my mind. I wanted the pork and gravy and the papaya with macadamia chicken, so hubby ordered the pork, and I got the other. Portions are huge, lots to eat for tomorrow breakfast."
"Amazing spot. If you are in the area, definitely eat here! The staff were so kind and welcoming and the atmosphere is great, really laid back. The smash burger was probably the best smash burger I've eaten. The kids enjoyed the pizza. Yummy desserts as well. I would 100% recommend this place."
"I’ve lived in South Kona for 25 years and always enjoyed the “old” Hana Hou but I lost it during the pandemic. The “new” Hana Hou is really nice. The food is exceptional, the service is personal and efficient and the atmosphere is warm and relaxing. Kudos to the new owners, the staff and one owner’s wife who is an excellent artist whose paintings are displayed in the restaurant. What a nice addition to the south end of the island. I will continue to go back for the comfortable experience I look for when dining out."
"Best Loco Moco I've had."
"During our 8 day stay on the Big Island, the lunch we had at the Hana Hou was the best we had. My pastrami burger was the best burger I’ve eaten in a long time. My wife had a fresh Ahi dish that she is still talking about. Our server Donna was warm and friendly, gave us some travel tips, and delivered our food hot. She made us feel welcome and we had some interesting conversations with her. I would describe this place as a “local’s diner”. There is no ostentatious presentation here, just amazing food and friendly people. If you’re in the area and you need to eat, STOP HERE!"
