"The first place I was shown to was not good, so I asked to change to a seat on the lanai, but was told no. When I asked them why, they simply answered Reservation without checking to see if there were any seats available. The seats were extremely close to each other, making the air stagnant and uncomfortable. (See attached image) Looking back on it now, there was no point in saying anything to the guy who seemed to be a part-time worker who was just guiding me to the seat I was assigned, and I should have complained to the person in charge who gave me the instructions. This is a really disappointing restaurant, as the food was delicious. Hospitality needs to be improved."

"Love this spot! As soon as you walk in , you are greeted with a smile and an Aloha! welcome. THE SERVICE: The host/manager (Jeffrey is very prompt about greeting you and also seating you. I was able to witness this over and over as it got busier and busier throughout the breakfast 'rush hour '. Service was very consistent for all the workers there. You can tell they run a tight ship! I was very impressed at the 5 star excellent service I received. As soon as I sat down I was greeted by another service/hostess/waitress who took my drink order within like 30 seconds of me sitting down. My Waitress (Heather was very attentive, friendly and on top of it. THE FOOD: There were so many delicious looking options on the menu , but I opted for the Omelette. It came with my choice of hash brown or rice, and pancake or waffle. (I ordered hash brown and ? waffle SO ONO!!!!! I would fly back to Hilo just to eat this same thing. The homemade whipped butter was to die for. It went beautifully with the soft but just crispy enough waffle THE PARKING: Lots of parking available in the parking lot next to restaurant. It 's a one way so you can loop around to find more Parking."

"We stopped here for lunch after Visiting Akaka falls and on the way to the Kiluea Visitor Center. Parking was difficult and we had to wait a bit for a spot to open up. The restaurant is surprisingly large inside with decent sized tables. You order up front first before finding your own table. We tried the sugarcane juice which was ok and watered down with coconut water imo. The mung bean soup was good and the quinoa and bean burger was fantastic. We also had the avocado, sprouts sandwich and the side of tabouleh salad with mint was excellent. Service was quick and efficient. Definitely worth the visit if you are in the Hilo area."

"My goodness! What a gem! We ordered about 30 mins before close not only did they accommodate us, but they even added extras. They were so kind and hospitable. Food was ready fast, even when we added fried spring rolls at check out. I had a noodle dish which was good, average Thai to me. However, the yellow curry was AMAZING. Best curry I’ve ever had and has some special flavor I couldn’t put my finger on (cardamom maybe? . Idk. She also added a tapioca coconut pudding that is the stuff of dreams. So good. Food portions were big. Only feedback is the Thai tea was smaller than I expected, but everything else was 5 stars! Great!"

"A group of friends and I went to Kenichi 's for a birthday dinner this evening. Upon entering the restaurant, a lady who I presumed to be the hostess did not bother to give us a proper greeting or welcome (as a host/hostess should) Rather, she/he told us in a rude tone, I can help you guys, as if they were directing traffic in a curt and awful manner. She then said, one check yeah. A snotty way of explaining to us that split checks weren 't available. As a customer, I don 't expect every service worker to smile at me or welcome me with energy or joy. However, you need to be respectful and have the decency to treat your customers/guests with civil service. This host/hostess was terrible and needs an attitude check as well as a good look in the mirror because her facial expressions and the way that she looks at her guests is insulting. On a more positive note, our waiter was very friendly and helpful, as well as the rest of the staff that acknowledged/serviced us."
