Emma's Kitchen — Restaurant in Hawaii

Here’s what you need to know: this is what small family business is all about. Wow! Amazing Filipino flavors out of a small stall in a humble food court in Kona, BIG Island, HI. This is a true hole-in-the wall great find. So fresh and perfectly seasoned and cooked. And great customer service to top it all. Very Reasonable pricing for HI. This is a family business that makes food as a passion. #supportlocal #smallbiz

We tried 3 things and a drink. The Hawaiian Portuguese sausage with eggs over easy were simply amazing (off menu Hawaiian breakfast special) - as tasty as you’ll find anywhere on the island with amazing garlic rice and perfectly cooked eggs

the crispy pork belly was the best we’ve had with an incredible lechon sauce,

and pork lumpia (Filipino thin egg rolls) was the best version I’ve had too - perfectly crispy and an unbelievably well seasoned pork stuffing.

I would not recommend the boba tea - overly sweet and just not good but it’s an afterthought.

Our goal Meal was $65 for 3 persons. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place.

PS: excellent customer...

Tried the Taro Boba Bubble Tea and it was phenomenal! Best Boba tea I've probably had before. Here's my only complaint... And the only reason I am not providing 5 stars.

It was 30min before close, they had a sign up saying "sorry were closed" but the guy was at the window still taking orders. Since he was there I asked if I could just get a tea, he did yes. They were closed early because they had a lot of orders already which is understandable. Here's why they received 4 stars. I found a metal shaving in my drink about half way into it. I finished my drink because I ain't scared. However I just wanted to let the staff know about this.

Fully recommend coming here for Boba tea, not sure about the food. Looked...

It’s overrated. It’s just okay. The restaurant was not super easy to find, on the logo you can only see kitchen. The Indian restaurant next to it is more visible. The salmon was well cooked, and there was a surprisingly good amount of green. The grilled pork belly on the other hand was very underwhelming. I could not taste the marinade and was disappointed. I wished I had a green salad as well instead of the tough cabbage underneath the meat. I would not advice you to eat over there. Do take out. I do not know from which restaurant it came (maybe all of them) but it smelled like burnt plastic and oil. Very nasty. To summarize it was open on Monday night and the area does not have a lot of options, so it...
