Fodor's Review:

There's no ambience to speak of, and water is served in unbreakable plastic, but if you're searching for local fare -- that eclectic and undefinable fusion of ethnic cuisines -- Kuhio Grille is a must. Sam Araki serves a 1-pound laulau (a steamed bundle of taro leaves and pork) that is worth the trip. This diner at the edge of Hilo's largest mall opens at 6 AM.
