Let’s start off with some positive comments. The restaurant was clean and very customer friendly, which was a nice surprise, not to mention the restaurant is very colorful and eye pleasing.

I will admit that upon deciding on this restaurant as my point of rest to eat I tried to get fish and chips elsewhere in Hilo but they all were closed (3pm).

The first dish I ordered was the fish n chips the fish being designed into sausages/sticks (not too sure where they got that novel concept from). However, I guess it works for them but for me it’s weird and it’s not how (fresh) fish (especially in a sea-faring island) should be served.

The fish portions (I believe I received 5 pieces) were ample for my appetite but I’m sorry to say the fish was dry (overcooked) which probably meant it was frozen. The fish was covered with a heavy breadcrumb type coating — which is not the right way to serve fresh fish (which goes with my point about the fish being frozen).

The chips meanwhile looked old (tbh) and kind of limp. Moreover, some had black spots in them which again comes down to preparation. Ok I finished the meal because I was hungry but I definitely won’t re-order this again.

My second dish was the fried shrimp, which like the fish (sticks) was caked in breadcrumbs and tasted old and tbh didn’t taste like shrimp at all. Furthermore the dish came with rice which for whatever reason the chef poured sweet soy sauce which really makes you wonder if they trying to kill the taste of the rice (low grade) as It definitely did not add any form of enhancement.

Again the service was good, but the food was pretty average (maybe poor), and way overpriced and not really worth it if you’re wanting fresh fish.

Lastly they don’t have any sparkling water.
