Dragon Kitchen Brown Rice Sushi — Restaurant in Hawaii

Great food and friendly service! We happened to find this sushi spot after visiting the Hilo Farmer's Market and are so happy we did! We ordered two poke bowls and a sushi roll (spicy tuna) to share. You can see the chef making the food behind the tiny counter, and he apologized profusely that it would be a 30-minute wait. It was peak lunch hour, though, so it was an understandable wait and ended up being closer to 20 minutes. Poke bowls were tasty--the ahi tasted fresh and had a nice flavor, though the spicy ahi wasn't at all spicy. The spicy tuna roll was the real standout, though, and was super tasty! If I return to the Big Island, I will just order sushi rolls here because that roll...

Perfectly mediocre. It wasn't great, it wasn't terrible.

The restaurant is located inside the "food court". It's kind of a dumpy location, which I don't necessarily mind. Some of the best food I've had are in questionable locations.

I got a small ahi and a small salmon roll. They said it would be a 20 min wait, which surprised me a little, considering the few patrons. It ended up being about 10-15 min.

While in the area, I also got a poke bowl from a little "LLC" around the corner. The poke bowl there...

Stopped in here for lunch, it's part of a 6 stall mini food court style building. Cannot beat the prices at this place. Between $2 and $4 for a basic 8 piece roll, up to $7 for the most expensive "special" roll, and $2 to $3 for a hand roll. All the sushi is made with brown rice and the fish to rice ratio is great for the price. If you're trying to grab the most high end fancy sushi dining experience this is not what you're looking for, but if you've got 20-30 minutes for a quick inexpensive sushi lunch this place is on point. Would definitely...
