Itsu’s used to be a great place when the original mom and pop used to run it.This was our favorite spot after the beach for many years growing up.Now that we have moved on and away we went back for some back in the day’s memories and were very dissapointed.Never fail’s the several times we went there all we got was attitude.They act like they no need business.Same thing when a family member from colorado visited the store as well as family members that still reside there.Well all I can say is we won’t be back there to give them business I’d rather go to kawate seed shop they are the bomb.Well anyway thank’s Itsu’s for nothing.

I owe my size to eating at Itsu’s for years of my life. Best Mom and Pop store in business today.

I used to live down Hinano street from about 1976-86, and remember riding my bike down the street with my $.25 to get ice shave at Itsu’s. Even when I go back there now, the lady asks “eh how yo fodda doing, good?” Itsu’s used to be more down the street, closer to Wailoa Park, I think this is their third location at least since I’ve been alive. Righteous! Eh next time try da hot dogs too.

You know, being from Hilo, I always get harassed on the backward sayings like Ice Shave and Tomato Beef. I even heard Mango Pickle, but I think that is a Kona side thing.
The wife even chimes in with stuff like “what about Stew Beef” and “Slippa Rubba”
James, I think you should dedicate a topic to the anomalies around the Islands. e.g. French fries with ketchup and mustard on Maui.

I used to live in this house, from the late 1930’s to 1956 when I joined the AF. My dad lived there till 1965 when he moved to California. I have many good memories about that house, and I am glad it is still standing and being used.
Aloha,

Interesting thought on that one. I think I heard something similar the other day on another board. I can’t remember where though.

Hilo Lunch Shop rocks!!!!! Whole lots of good items to choose from. One of the items I really miss is their spam battered with egg. Must be the poor man’s meat jun. LOL!!!! I think it’s a Hilo thing. Haven’t seen it here in Honolulu all these years. Mentioned it to a delicatessen owner/cook here and he gave me funny looks. Never saw it as one of the items after our conversation. But he has chorizo, yum.
