Well, the Ohana Grill in Kaikodo Building seems to have been closed. I have been seeing a reality company’s sign in the window since Jun 1. Other than that only the hibiscus flower remain on the window.

That now leaves only Kuiho Grill (so far) for my burger needs.

Had teh “surf and turf” and it wasn’t even shrimp tempura, it was breaded shrimp. Simply Horrible for the price!!

Ordered meatloaf, the menu said home style. It was horrible. Had bacon on it and tasted funny.
Waitress, apparently didn’t speak English. I asked for rolls and butter, and she looked at me as if I was from out of space. My stepson said bread? and she nodded her head. Never came back to report if they had rolls or bread.
I can see why they are so cheap.

Horrible dinning experience. The servers need some training and the cooks need to learn how to cook rice. Ribeye was tough, stir fry was horrible, Unco’s ribs was yuck. Never eating there again.

Previously I forgot to mention that “Penne Rustica” at Romano’s Macaroni Grill in Waikoloa beats the pasta at above mentioned Hilo restaurants.

Yes, bread is very dense indeed. Sometimes it is a turn off, other times not. It is certainly not enjoyable everytime unlike the bread at Romano’s Macaroni Grill, Pescatore, or Cafe Pesto (if it ever starts serving the full bread not itsy bitsy pieces).

I liked, & have ordered multiple time, “Ohana burger” after once ordering some pasta entree.

The pasta dish was average in taste with reasonable portions. It was better than Big Island Pizza & Cafe Concerto offerings, somewhat below than pasta at Pescatore.

Thank you Pomai! Yes the building and high ceilings are just beautiful. It totally cries out for fine dining, so I was bummed to find out how uninspired the food and new furnishings are. I’ll go ad
my review to yelp. Thanks for adding them!

Too bad it didn’t work out on your first try. As you said though, it could have just been a bad day (junk cook in the kitchen). Plus their still relatively new.

I certainly wouldn’t want BBQ sauce on my ribeye steak. Simple salt and pepper ’nuff.

I like the look of the place with the high ceiling.

Punaweb forum has a thread on the place here:

I took the liberty of adding Uncle Don’s Ohana Grill to the listing on Yelp. James, leave your review there to start it off.
