Local Food in Hilo

[sku]

I haven't been to Hilo in ages and am headed there in a couple of weeks. Any updates on the best local food or any great food there or nearby? Thanks.

No one is going to mention Cafe 100? That's about as local as it gets. Loco moco the big thing but I like the combo plates. There use to be the lau lau place, Kaupena Ono Food but I think they closed a while ago.

I really enjoyed the plate lunch at Itsu's Fishing Supplies and the food at Ken's House of Pancakes. Hilo Lunch Stop looked good too and if I had more time I would have tried it.
Kuhio Grill has tasty Hawaiian food...the laulau has beef which I thought was a bit odd, but it was very tasty.

Oh, yes... I completely forgot to mention Ken's House of Pancakes, which is always a fun time! I can't imagine going to Hilo without stopping there.

The food highlight of our stay on the Big Island. Ken's is a hoot, and the food is quite good.

Nori's Saimin..can't get more local than that.

I really love Miyo's (Japanese home style food), and have never had anything short of an amazing meal there.
