Aloha Sean and Nhi! We love visiting Hilo. A little bit more of the old school Hawai’i vibes than Kona side. Loved seeing some of our favorite spots showcased and some other spots we haven’t gotten to yet. Definitely a ton of ono grindz. Mahalo as always for the energy and bringing us along!! Have a great weekend ahead to you both (technically 2.5 with baby girl relaxing in momma’s belly)!! 🤙🏽

Aloha Michelle and Jose! Mahalo for watching and always supporting us! We haven't been to Kona but I assume it can't be as chill as Hilo since it has less attractions but the food here is the best attraction!! Hope you get to try some of these grindz in Hilo and yeah.. Nhis stomach is getting a little bigger and it will be 3 of us👍🤙😁

I loved all that places but my best is the farmers market safe and fresh. I love this video and only in Hawaii you get lots of love and aloha. Over hear in Vegas I hate to say this there is locals from Hawaii open business they force they're aloha they don't have love in they're voice like Hawaii business. No love at all. That's why I miss my home Hawaii. But I'm a retiree and back home is too expensive for me. I so love your videos.

What's up Sean...awesome video of my hometown. Hilo is underrated and people pretty much go Kona side for food and sights. You might be one of the first guys that really wen come down Hilo and show what Hilo got to offer. Got to see some people I know on your video from Ken's who wen ring the bell and the two ladies at Farmers Market. Sorry was raining wen you came down and yes Cafe 100 close on the weekends but never go there for ages. Two ladies in the kitchen is one of my favorite for get some Mochi and my wife and daughters go Kula for some shave ice..next time you go Kula's ask for Kamaina discount at Kula and they going give you $1 off. Just Cruising Coffee you should have tried the Mac nut pesto sandwich. The thing is pretty good.....anyway much Mahalo for stopping by Hilo!! My favorite place for eat in Hilo is Miyos and Kenichi btw you gotta stop dropping your food. Lol

Aloha Kipo808! Yes.. we were aware that there wasn't a Hilo Food Tour on KZfaq and I don't know why. Soo many good spots you guys have and we really enjoyed the relaxing environment. The rain was no big deal but the food at Ken's, Two Ladies, Farmers Market was a big deal!! We def wanna visit Kona too but glad to come to this down to earth city. Gonna try Miyos and Kenichi the next time. Mahalo for wlays supporting this channel🤙👍

literally, we just got back from the Big Island... 5x of the places were already on our list, we'll definitely add the other 5x for our next trip!!! We also got rainbow bread from Low International, picked our our lychee from Kaye Family Farms, crispy beef jerky from George's Meat Market, and we got some Rainbow Falls Lavosh from KTA (we used to get it from their factory/kitchen but not sure if we can still do that).

Great episode in Hilo. Shout outs for your mom! My brother lives in Hilo, so I had him watch and complained to him how come he didn't bring back some of the treats you tried! He said he didn't know about a lot of them. He has lived there for almost 50 years! No excuses now when he comes to visit us on Oahu. Hope Nhi is doing well. I noticed this was filmed a while ago, so I hope she is feeling good.

Aloha TitasMom!! Hahaha I would say the same thing to my siblings if they lived there for 50 years.👍🤙😁 But I'm sure there's some areas I may not know about in Kaneohe soo.. I'll give a little grace.😂 and yes.. filmed 3 months ago and Nhi is doing wel. Thanks for caring😁🤙👍

The line at Two Ladies goes way down the street sometimes. Big Island Style definitely one of the best in Hilo. Wilson’s is my go to, as a small child we went to Itsu’s for ice shave, Hilo way of saying shave ice. At Wilson’s her kids actually serve me now, we both got old. I never have been to Kula, however my cousins say it’s next level; however I’m old school I stick to Wilson’s. My mom goes to Kinoole Farmers Market, it’s small, but more local feel than the downtown farmers market. My mom has a standing Saturday order for 7 papayas from a papaya vendor. They actually bring out to my mom’s car since she is old now. When she doesn’t make it on Saturday they worry about her and will call her. Btw, I live mainland, it’s so nice to know people in Hilo are so caring. Big Island Candies, you gotta try the apple pie. It’s like a whole pie of a napples. Cafe 100 is OG, kind of the Rainbow Drive-in of Hilo. Kūhiō is probably my favorite in Hilo, the Korean chicken is my go to. You missed bento shops Kawamoto’s and Hilo Lunch Shop as my two favorites, I go Kawamoto’s 90% of the time. I remember a guy at Hilo Lunch Shop come in and order just rice with dinuguan. I like dinuguan, but I have yet to try theirs. My must eats when I visit is Wilson’s, Kūhiō, Kawamoto’s and I always eat something from KTA, poke for sure. Snacks I always stop at Lani’s, but don’t miss Big Island Delights, both places they are always so nice.

Man I was there back in February. I spent most of my time on the Kona side of the island. Kona was beautiful but I couldn’t find good food anywhere. The food wasn’t bad. It just was mid. I feel like Hilo had way better options. Next time I go back I’m spending more time in Hilo.

Next time you're in Hilo try Don's Grill, Koji's Bento, Hilo Seaside, Coconut Grill, eta. Some say Cafe 100 or Lincoln Grill now known as Koji's were the inventors of the Loco Moco.
