Love this place. Feels like your standard Hawaiian Diner all the good breakfast vibes. Was able to get seated right away. The service was amazing and the food was even better. My steak couldn't have been a more perfect medium rare. I'll def be back

Food service excellent I enjoy eating here. It is usually busy but the food is good and da ser is great 2 star nothing else

Good food, friendly people. Always a wait because the food is worth it. Staff does a great job with quality & as fast service as possible

Got here around 620pm on a Thursday night and there was already a wait. They told us 15-20 minutes and we were indeed seated in ~15 mins. During our wait, we strolled through the plaza (mostly everything is closed). I got the Hawaiian loco moco with over easy eggs on the side. Being pregnant, I can't over stuff myself or have to suffer the consequences of being overly full, bloated and reflux. I stopped half way. It was the perfect midnight snack. Anyways, the beef was cooked perfectly with a little char, ask for extra gravy for your left overs! If I needed to make a critique, I say it needed a little salt, but I prefer not enough salt than too much!!! My partner had the mauka/maki - also a great trio sampler. The shrimp was perfectly crisp and the short ribs, yum! (Yes I had a couple bites!).

I visited during Merrie Monarch and was surprised to catch them at a small corner of Manono Marketplace! They have a classic Hawai'i style flavor in a diner to enjoy with friends and family alike - I visited for dinner during the time I went. I ended up getting the Moke-a-saurus, which was HUGE! I couldn't finish it but was able to save it for a late night meal later. Would definitely come back to try the rest of their menu! - Miguel Morales Photography

This is a really popular cafe that's great for families and big groups. Head towards the front register to get on their yelp waitlist. The booth we sat in was roomy and the table was large enough for the big plates they have for the huge portions of food. Their loco mocos are generous. The mok-a-saurus is enough for 2 people to share if you're not starving. They serve mimosas too and I ordered mine with the POG juice. We dined here 2 years ago and we'll keep coming back again.

Hawaiian Style Cafe-Hilo, was recommended by coworker but I didn't have a chance to check it out, til this recent visit, it was on my list to try. So happy we finally did and loved it too! Warning, portions are HUGE, be prepared for kanak attack, Hawaiian Style Cafe does make sure you are well fed before you leave the restaurant, hehe. Mahalo! The lines were long, we put our names on the Yelp list and waited about 20 minutes, popular place! Everyone was observed sitting, chatting, and waiting patiently for a table. There are indoor and outdoor dining. Great for family dining and huge parties out in Hilo, a Hawaiian style cafe feel here! Looking at the menu while we waited for our table, I went with the loco moco plate as it has everything on that plate, I love the different varieties of Loco Moco plate. Hawaiian Style, chicken cutlet, Da Big Mok, Dat Tita Mok, & Mok-A-Saurus. hehe.. I went with the Mok-A-Sauraurus ( fried rice topped with spam, chicken cutle, kalua pork, hamburger patty, two eggs & gravy) All for $18.95. Wow! all this sounds great in a moco. The other half and I enjoyed this plate & was huge portions for 2, we pack the leftovers for when we get hungry at the hotel. The haupia pancakes was OMG- WOW! so moist and so good, I really enjoyed it, so much better than a spot that does pancakes here on the windward side. The pancakes are huge and this haupia one of their popular item. Our waitress and the service received was great, despite how busy this cafe gets. All in all, the other half and I loved our first time experience here and plan to be back when in Hilo again, but next time we will try out the lunch menu. We will be back-Recommend!
