Right across the street from the drive thru coffee is Kawamoto Store. One of the best okazuya in the state! Asami’s Kitchen too right next to Two Lady’s 🤙🏽
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👍🤙😁
A Must Visit ! Big Island Hawaii ! Wow ! Love that Pineapple Cake ! Amazing Sumo Special ! I Love Mochi ! Give me Mento Bento ! I am missing papaya ! Fresh Fruits !Love Big Island Candies ! Very Saucy Loco Moco ! Wow ! ! 1lb Lau Lau ! Sippin Coffee ! Awesome Vlog you two ! Nhi take care Mama ! Safe travels ! Mahalo for sharing !!!
Awwww thanks Gail for watching the entire video!!! We really liked the chill vibes in Hilo and of course the food. I really miss that Pineapple cake👍🤙😋 Hope all is well and thanks for always supporting us local UA-camrs🤙👍
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.
Aloha Kevin! Mahalo for watching. I was told that Kona has more activities and it's more touristy, but Hilo is more local style and has better foods. Hope you come to Hilo next time😋🤙😁
Haupia all day every day! That's my childhood right there! Thank you for taking us on a trip to Hilo. Some of us are here on the mainland and miss our ohana very much so. Big mahalos!
Aloha Zennoodle! Hope you're able to visit back home in Hilo! I'm sure your family misses you too! Please enjoy all the good grindz when you come back!:)
That's what I'm talking about. A Hilo Food Tour!! I tried looking up Hilo Food Tours before but could t find anything so this is helpful when I go there next month. Thanks for the vlog and cool to see Keith..I played ball with him in Oahu🤙
Hey Sean We just arrived in Hilo first thing we got was the 2 sisters mochi that was great. For dinner we went to tetsumen ramen across of the Hawaiian style cafe. Ramen broth amazing, my wife had the gyoza plate you have to try this. Top 5 gyoza we ever had large pcs filled with pork 2 large scoops of rice and Mac salad with tuna. This place must try. We going back before we leave lol. Shootzs.
Aloha Mitchell! Mahalo for watching and hope you and your wife enjoyed eating at 2 Ladies Mochi. And we'll def try the Tersumen Ramen next time we go. Appreciate the tip. Please tell your wife we said hi👍🤙😁😋
Super enjoyed your vlog on Hilo. Hilo is known for their food and crafts. Okazuyas, Dinners, and more Old-time businesses the next trip to Hilo. Lots of hidden gems in Hilo. After watching your video I want to take a long overdue trip to Hilo. Thank you for your very entertaining and informative video!
Sean. Where is the beef consumed in Hawaii coming from? Is it locally sourced and from the mainland? Also the OG mochi are the ones with adzuki red bean. Good adzuki beans are very fine without any bean skin. The one that they out on Matsu shave ice is low quality Adzuki beans you can see the bean skin. Love the market. But I like the diversity of the Oahu food better😎
Aloha Min C! I couldn't tell you where the beef comes from and the azuki beans was rich in those mochi we had. Oahu has more diversity with food since Hilo is more small but nothing beats Hilos farmers market👍🤙
Aloha Sean and Nhi! What an amazing list of eats on your trip. I love Ken's and wow you guys don't mess around getting the Sumo LOL. Two Ladies is so good with the fresh soft mochi. So cute that you shared it with that sweet lady. The rest I haven't tried because we did not have time, but it all looks so good. I'll put those on my list next time we go. Big Island is my favorite island to visit. 🤙
Aloha Food Fiend!! Mahalo for watching and Ken's was def my favorite place! Loved the SUMO and everything else! Nhi lived the mochi too and we will def get us more next time we go. Hope you try some of these places the next time you go to Hilo. Watching you eat Taste Tz on YT right now as we speak👍😁🤙😋
Just in time! Heading to Big Island in about a month. It may not be as foodie compared to Oahu or Maui, but we need more UA-camrs to show Big Island can have a food scene. Mahalo 🤙
Aloha Alex! Yes.. The other islands aren't popping like Oahu with food and activities but it sure feels nice to step outside of the box and go other islands. Glad you enjoyed it.👍🤙
Going to big island tomorrow, will pin down some of your recommendations! :) We will be staying at west side not far from the Kona side, will drive to Hio as well..I am very excited!! 2nd time there, first time was in 2006 LOL More videos cause I hope I can fly to Hawaii more time since now I'm working at home! Any recommendations on a reasonable lodging options if I wanna stay in Hawaii (any island) for a couple of weeks to work remotely? It'll be nice if you can group these vidoes by the name of the island? I'm still trying to get used to the Hawaiian name of the islands..
Aloha Beccal.. Mahalo for watching f and enjoy the Big Islamd. I like the foods more on Hilo side🤙👍 lots has changed since 2006, so it might be a whole nother adventure. I don't know if any lodging spots. I usually just got the cheapest ones with the best reviews. I liked Hilo Reeds Hotel. They were awesome👍🤙
Aloha Patricia! Awww that female host is my wife😁👍🤙 Well wendo it for the camera and try have a good steady diet through the week. Mahalo for watching 🤙👍
Kuhio Grill use to be good but not anymore. Hawaiian Style Cafe has gone downhill with their flavor also. You have to check out our Okazuya in Hilo as it’s the best in the State of Hawaii. Kawamoto’s, Hilo Lunch Shop and Asami’s is where it’s at for the locals.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Kuhio Grille and still like Hawaiian Style Cafe. I think the focus was more on portions although I loves their pancakes:):) I'll check out the other places next time you mentioned. I appreciate it🤙👍
Yeah Hawaii is good growing up everything is mostly the same but when I went to the mainland and Australia every is big and advanced like Hilo is stuck and everywhere else is 20 ahead maybe more
Hey braddah. I was born in Hilo. Haven't been there ever since I was a baby. It would be good to visit and eat the good food in Hilo. God bless Brotha and Kaselehlie all the way from POHNPEI Micronesia.
Wow guy, the way you love to eat, was thinking you'd have a potbelly! I live in Hill & know the places shown! Its people like you who expand those places & gain more notoriety for them! 2 ladies kitchen is so famous worldwide, people from Japan come to Hill just to by their mochis! Kudos to & family for posting! Aloha
Aloha wow delicious food I been there before I miss my hometown but I tried to look places nothing is available for me so I suggest just stay in hawn paradise oahu.
Aloha! There are some good places I love like Ken's and 2 Ladies but Oahu overall jas better good since it's more competitive. Nothing beats Hilo Market though 🤙👍
Aloha Mark! Not at this time . I enjoy being a virtual guide because I think I would need to have a professional company. But thanks for the kind words. Have a great weekend🤙👍
Aloha Bill and Lisa!! Mahalo for watching and would love to see your vlog here if you do on in Hilo. Big Island Candies has some exclusives here but yeah.. the food scene around is pretty good too🤙👍😋
Aloha Tung! Oh. Just because I work a full time job and Nhi has her own business. But of course we want to go full time UA-cam We will do our best to get there🤙👍
Brother you are the first video I ever saw about Hawaii. We started doing research for our first ever trip to Oahu, since then I met a pretty awesome podcaster from Oahu as well who has helped me learn so much about Hawaii and it's culture. I hope one day you two meet and collab on something soon. Please check out Ikaikaloha, Tales from the Taro Patch, if you like I can get you his info
Yes sir, I always recommend you to people who want to find the best grinds and Ikaikaloha for people wanting to learn more about the history, culture and Hawaiian politics. Mahalo nui loa for personally responding! Makes a fan feel special! 🤙🏽
@@SeanKaleponi PLEASE DO and then tell us what u think!! its right on first street in J-town (little tokyo) - 100+ years old - survived the internment camps! its Japanense american history!! pink and white/blueberry w/shiro ahn... so delicious😋
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.
Big Mahalo for all the memories you had here , telling me about it.. and def giving me a list of what I gotta try the next time I'm here in Hilo! I appreciate it Lokahi👍🤙
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 UA-cam 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).
Aloha Dadabetic!! Awesome you visited most of these places and still more to see. Gonna refer back to your list the next time we come to Hilo. Mahalo👍🤙😋
Aloha, Sean & Nhi...Awesome episode!!! We appreciate you both too and mahalo for showcasing Hilo! Now I have too take a trip to the Big Island and revisit to get my fill of goodies. Never been to Sippin Coffee before but anxious to try. That coffee with a Cafe Loco Moco and I'm in Heaven. MAHALO PLENTY!!!
Aloha RSER808! Mahalo for watching! Please enjoy your time in the Big Island and yes.. you're the first person to mention the coffee.. Soo important and Sippin Coffee was my go to every morning! Have a great week🤙♥️
Cheehoo 🤙. Thank you for showing us the Big Island and its grindz. Da sumo burger...brah is monsta. Get da Kanak attack just looking at it. Da mochi....brah! I've heard wonderful things about how they have THE best mochi. I never went to Da Big Island, I'm considering visiting just fo try da grindz. Yessah 🤙 lessgggooo.
Aloha Gary!! Mahalo for watching and all the SUMO specials were awesome and the Mochi was the best for sure!! Hope you guys are able to come here and visit the Big Islamd and introduce everyone to Dem Nutz!! Best snacks for sure you guys sell👍🤙😋
Love the video! After baby's born you guys have to go back and try Suisan's poke!! There's also Makani's magic pineapple shack. They have good acai bowls
Thank you Sean and Nhi for this wonderful video. I never been to the Big Island and it's so beautiful. The portion of the foods is worth the price to me. 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. Especially this one cause I never been to the Big Island and yes thanks to you two I get to see it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Mahalo and aloha strong.
Mahalo for watching and yes.. there's bigger portions for sure in Hilo than what I experience in Oahu. Hope you're able to visit. And I'm sorry about that in Vegas. Usually those people don't last or.. they end up realizing it and change their attitude!! Hope all is well in Vegas and Mahalo for watching 🤙
Amazing video Sean and Nhi!! 🤩👍🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 I'd like to go to Hilo now to check out those places. The oreo mochi looked so good.😋 And incredible views of the monk seals and dolphins.👏🏽 Mahalo for your Hilo video!🤙🏽
Awww thanks Liz for always noticing the Hawaii wildlife! I know it's a food video but we are in Hawaii and their part of our culture! And yes.. if you wanna chill and relax with some old school Hawaii vibes.. Hilo is where it's at. Mahalo for watching 👍🤙😋
Watching this, I felt like I was right there in Hilo with you guys! Cool you had brought in your friend Keith, and you make friends everywhere you go!! AMAZING food tour in Big Island, now I'm craving these mochis and fresh fruits. Much respect for covering the HILO food scene since no one else does 🤙
Aloha LionMom!! Please enjoy all the grindz in Hilo when you go. And those mochi were soo good..Nhi really enjoyed the strawberry Mochi!! Mahalo for watching 😁🤙
Next time you go Kula shave ice, check out the "Poke in sides' place next door. Got hands down my favorite fish tacos. Usually ahi, and get it tempura style to make it taste even better...
Aloha Maria!! I'm glad this video can inspire you to come to Hilo! We had a great time and so many good places. Definitely more respect after seeing how the Big Island Candies are made👍🤙🤙
Aloha Jesse!! Mahalo for watching and always supporting our channel! Pregnancy is good..baby is getting bigger and we are blessed with all the support we recieve.. Mahalo🤙😁
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😁🤙👍
Thank you for doing the big island local food spots , the dynamic dual back at it again or should I say the traveling Trio , much love support and respect
Great video..some awesome food choices! Now I’m hungry. Sooo many great options. Love to see you visit new islands too. Omg the whole world loves your mom ❤
Aloha Lori!! Mahalo for watching and always supporting our channel! And yeah.. it was good to explore other islands and see what they had too and we loved it in Hilo🤙😋. Oh and yeah.. I'm glad to hear people tell me about my Mom.. even outside of Oahu🤙👍♥️
Woo Hoo so GREAT to see you both! It’s always a great pleasure to watch your videos and now My Wife is also a big fan! All the best from both of us! Aloha!
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. All the other islands never knew what that was. Visited Diner's in the seventies and ordered one and they look at you like you were high on something. Lol high on food from the Big Islands.
Right across the street from the drive thru coffee is Kawamoto Store. One of the best okazuya in the state! Asami’s Kitchen too right next to Two Lady’s 🤙🏽
Nice Ryan! I'll def check out the Kawamoto Store and Asamis Kitchen next time. Mahalo🤙😋
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..

We started doing research for our first ever trip to Oahu, since then I met a pretty awesome podcaster from Oahu as well who has helped me learn so much about Hawaii and it's culture. I hope one day you two meet and collab on something soon. Please check out Ikaikaloha, Tales from the Taro Patch, if you like I can get you his info
Mahalo David! I appreciate you watching and I'll check out Ikaikaloha! Aloha and have a great weekend🤙😁
Yes sir, I always recommend you to people who want to find the best grinds and Ikaikaloha for people wanting to learn more about the history, culture and Hawaiian politics. Mahalo nui loa for personally responding! Makes a fan feel special! 🤙🏽
Ho bruddah....too much kaukau! No wanda errbody opu big like wat a melon!
Hahaha I luv da pigeon talk🤙👍
agreed "two ladies" best mochi on the islands.... fugetsudo best mochi in LA!!
Mahalo Tracie for watching! Gonna try Fugetsudo in L.A when we go🤙♥️😋
@@SeanKaleponi PLEASE DO and then tell us what u think!! its right on first street in J-town (little tokyo) - 100+ years old - survived the internment camps! its Japanense american history!! pink and white/blueberry w/shiro ahn... so delicious😋
While I’m eating my mochi I brought back with me
Aloha Lei!! I remember you were the first person I asked about going to the Big Island🤙👍
I'm enjoying the video and your shirts
Aloha Elika! Mahalo for watching and shirts can be purchased I'm description link if you want🤙👍

I'll try bite the eye good truck next time. Mahalo for the tip🤙👍
Steamed in Ti leaf, wrapped in Luau...
Sorry I had a brain fat. I meant ti leaf🤙😁😋
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.
Big Mahalo for all the memories you had here , telling me about it.. and def giving me a list of what I gotta try the next time I'm here in Hilo! I appreciate it Lokahi👍🤙
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 UA-cam 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🤙👍
Strawberry mochi looks yummy 😋
Strawberry Mochi was good Lindy👍🤙😋
!!!!!SUMO CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!!! HILO just take my money and give me your food. Super good sir Super vlog👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

The smoke meat quesadilla and the best Margaritas at Reuben; missed Rainbow Bread too
Aloha Joshua!! Loved Reuben’s and gonna try the Rainbow Bread next time. Mahalo👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi Low International Foods; right there past Two Ladies Kitchen on the corner
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).
Aloha Dadabetic!! Awesome you visited most of these places and still more to see. Gonna refer back to your list the next time we come to Hilo. Mahalo👍🤙😋

Thank you Sean and Nhi for this wonderful video. I never been to the Big Island and it's so beautiful. The portion of the foods is worth the price to me. 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. Especially this one cause I never been to the Big Island and yes thanks to you two I get to see it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Mahalo and aloha strong.
Mahalo for watching and yes.. there's bigger portions for sure in Hilo than what I experience in Oahu. Hope you're able to visit. And I'm sorry about that in Vegas. Usually those people don't last or.. they end up realizing it and change their attitude!! Hope all is well in Vegas and Mahalo for watching 🤙
Amazing video Sean and Nhi!! 🤩👍🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 I'd like to go to Hilo now to check out those places. The oreo mochi looked so good.😋 And incredible views of the monk seals and dolphins.👏🏽 Mahalo for your Hilo video!🤙🏽
Awww thanks Liz for always noticing the Hawaii wildlife! I know it's a food video but we are in Hawaii and their part of our culture! And yes.. if you wanna chill and relax with some old school Hawaii vibes.. Hilo is where it's at. Mahalo for watching 👍🤙😋
Watching this, I felt like I was right there in Hilo with you guys! Cool you had brought in your friend Keith, and you make friends everywhere you go!! AMAZING food tour in Big Island, now I'm craving these mochis and fresh fruits. Much respect for covering the HILO food scene since no one else does 🤙
Aloha LionMom!! Please enjoy all the grindz in Hilo when you go. And those mochi were soo good..Nhi really enjoyed the strawberry Mochi!! Mahalo for watching 😁🤙
Next time you go Kula shave ice, check out the "Poke in sides' place next door. Got hands down my favorite fish tacos. Usually ahi, and get it tempura style to make it taste even better...

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😁🤙👍
Every time you two take a bite of something, I can almost taste it!!!! Recently got back from Maui. I was taken to Mama's Fish House. WOW.

Hi Sean,
Glad you and Nhi is show-casing the amazing eateries in the Big East side! I have been to most of them …
Aloha Ann Chee!! Always good hearing from you!! Glad youve been to these places. It was new to us and food was great👍🤙
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. All the other islands never knew what that was. Visited Diner's in the seventies and ordered one and they look at you like you were high on something. Lol high on food from the Big Islands.
Hahah Ray I def have to go to Diners with all the suggestions told to me. And I'll try all the Grill places as well:):) Mahalo for the recs👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi Thought Diner's close. Across from the now closed Likelike Dive Inn. Now a Walmart. LOL.
My daughter lives in Hilo. We have eaten at all of these places. I Love it there. Aloha from Indiana
Aloha Patricia from Indiana. Your daughter lives in the best place for food and such chill vibes. Mahalo🤙👍
Sumo Grinder Burger & Fries and Pork Katsu Kuhio grill was a banger food
Mahalo! I'll check out the Burger and Pork Katsu next time👍🤙😋
