Bamboo Restaurant
$-$$$, Hawaiian, Contemporary, Kohala Coast
User Rating: ***** 4.8
Fodor's Review:
It's out of the way, but the food at this spot in the heart of Hawi is good and the service and ambience have a Hawaiian country flair. Creative entrées feature fresh island fish prepared several ways. The Thai-style fish, for example, combines lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves, and coconut milk -- best washed down with a passion-fruit margarita or passion-fruit iced tea. Bamboo finishes, bold artwork, and an old unfinished wooden floor make the restaurant cozy. Local musicians entertain on Friday and Saturday night.

Great lunches

Although it's out-of-the-way and in the opposite direction, I always stop here for lunch on my way to the airport for afternoon flights back to the mainland.RATING: 4.6
Charming and Delicious (Try the Lili'koi Margaritas)
Posted by jrz from Northern Virginia, USA on 10/28/07
What a charming place, funky and inviting. We were recommended to this place in tiny Hawi by someone at the airport Hertz counter--and he was right. We had a great dinner--a huge chicken breast stuffed with Kalua pig (a Hawaiian speciality) and a lili'koi glaze, macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi, and panko crusted calamari strips appetizer. All accompanied by their trademark lili'koi (passion fruit) margaritas served in coconut cups. The waitstaff was friendly and engaging. Don't miss the art gallery/shop upstairs. And buy the cookbook ($5) for a souvenir. Note: Bamboo is closed on Mondays.RATING: 5.0
