Aloha Sean and Nhi! We love visiting Hilo. A little bit more of the old school Hawai’i vibes than Kona side. Loved seeing some of our favorite spots showcased and some other spots we haven’t gotten to yet. Definitely a ton of ono grindz. Mahalo as always for the energy and bringing us along!! Have a great weekend ahead to you both (technically 2.5 with baby girl relaxing in momma’s belly)!! 🤙🏽
Aloha Michelle and Jose! Mahalo for watching and always supporting us! We haven't been to Kona but I assume it can't be as chill as Hilo since it has less attractions but the food here is the best attraction!! Hope you get to try some of these grindz in Hilo and yeah..

Super enjoyed your vlog on Hilo. Hilo is known for their food and crafts. Okazuyas, Dinners, and more Old-time businesses the next trip to Hilo. Lots of hidden gems in Hilo.
After watching your video I want to take a long overdue trip to Hilo.
Thank you for your very entertaining and informative video!
Aloha ChopChops! I'll def take your advice and head to the places you listed! Hope your able to cost Hilo again soon! Mahalo🤙😋
Next time get bento from Kawamoto's Okazuya, before hiking Onomea Trail!
The best okazuya place💕😎🫶🏻🥷
Two Ladies.....giant strawberry mochi so ono!
Gonna try Kawamotos next time I go Hilo🤙👍😋 and Two Ladies is awesome😋👍🤙
🤙👍
Hey braddah. I was born in Hilo. Haven't been there ever since I was a baby. It would be good to visit and eat the good food in Hilo. God bless Brotha and Kaselehlie all the way from POHNPEI Micronesia.
Aloha Justin!! Oh awesome to hear you're in Micronesia watching. Hope you're able to visit Hilo soon! Take care🤙😁
Always waiting for your videos.👍
Mahalo Alan for watching our vids👍🤙😋
The line at Two Ladies goes way down the street sometimes. Big Island Style definitely one of the best in Hilo. Wilson’s is my go to, as a small child we went to Itsu’s for ice shave, Hilo way of saying shave ice. At Wilson’s her kids actually serve me now, we both got old. I never have been to Kula, however my cousins say it’s next level; however I’m old school I stick to Wilson’s. My mom goes to Kinoole Farmers Market, it’s small, but more local feel than the downtown farmers market. My mom has a standing Saturday order for 7 papayas from a papaya vendor. They actually bring out to my mom’s car since she is old now. When she doesn’t make it on Saturday they worry about her and will call her. Btw, I live mainland, it’s so nice to know people in Hilo are so caring. Big Island Candies, you gotta try the apple pie. It’s like a whole pie of a napples. Cafe 100 is OG, kind of the Rainbow Drive-in of Hilo. Kūhiō is probably my favorite in Hilo, the Korean chicken is my go to. You missed bento shops Kawamoto’s and Hilo Lunch Shop as my two favorites, I go Kawamoto’s 90% of the time. I remember a guy at Hilo Lunch Shop come in and order just rice with dinuguan. I like dinuguan, but I have yet to try theirs. My must eats when I visit is Wilson’s, Kūhiō, Kawamoto’s and I always eat something from KTA, poke for sure. Snacks I always stop at Lani’s, but don’t miss Big Island Delights, both places they are always so nice.
Big Mahalo for all the memories you had here , telling me about it.. and def giving me a list of what I gotta try the next time I'm here in Hilo! I appreciate it Lokahi👍🤙
Glad your back
I’ve been waiting so long
Good to be back Lemuela😁🤙👍
Aloha Sean and Nhi! What an amazing list of eats on your trip. I love Ken's and wow you guys don't mess around getting the Sumo LOL. Two Ladies is so good with the fresh soft mochi. So cute that you shared it with that sweet lady. The rest I haven't tried because we did not have time, but it all looks so good. I'll put those on my list next time we go. Big Island is my favorite island to visit. 🤙
Aloha Food Fiend!! Mahalo for watching and Ken's was def my favorite place! Loved the SUMO and everything else! Nhi lived the mochi too and we will def get us more next time we go. Hope you try some of these places the next time you go to Hilo. Watching you eat Taste Tz on YT right now as we speak👍😁🤙😋
Smart way to ask for a discount 😹😹 food looks delicious!
Aloha Koa!! Hahaha I tried but I like to support local too!! All the food was ono👍😋😁
Love it. I went to so many of those places when staying on the Big Island years ago. We ate at KHOP a few times.
Aloha!! You and I think a like. We went twice to KHOP and I wanna go a few more times😋😁🤙

Aloha LionMom!! Please enjoy all the grindz in Hilo when you go. And those mochi were soo good..Nhi really enjoyed the strawberry Mochi!! Mahalo for watching 😁🤙

Aloha Alex! Yes.. The other islands aren't popping like Oahu with food and activities but it sure feels nice to step outside of the box and go other islands. Glad you enjoyed it.👍🤙

Aloha Mark! Not at this time . I enjoy being a virtual guide because I think I would need to have a professional company. But thanks for the kind words. Have a great weekend🤙👍
Honestly, I never considered a Big Island vacation, but your video has changed my mind. Hilo looks beautiful, friendly, delicious, and not too crowded. Awesome video! 🤙
It’s beautiful just do go during the rain season. It rains a lot all year but it’s bad during Feb-April. 140” a year. I just Spent the last 5 months there.
@@joshkissell8877 thanks. 140"? yikes!
Aloha Alan! Mahalo for always supporting our channel! I know that Kona is more touristy and has more activities and Hilo is way more chill with some good eats. Glad this video can help change your mind. We enjoyed the chill time here🤙👍
Another great video~! I can't believe your videos seem so short when I watch i..but it's not short!(^^ thumbs up for long videos) Our whole family really enjoy your watching videos almost everyday now that we changed our plans to go to Hawai'i earlier than November!! Thank you and always look forward to your videos!!! Have a great weekend!!

Awesome tips! Def gonna try the Big Island top dogs next time we go to Hilo. Mahalo 👍🤙
Of course bro my girlfriend and i just found and subscribed to you channel about a week ago we already watched all your videos lol, we love the content thanks for visiting the big island we’re big fans aloha 🤙🏾
Great episode in Hilo. Shout outs for your mom! My brother lives in Hilo, so I had him watch and complained to him how come he didn't bring back some of the treats you tried! He said he didn't know about a lot of them. He has lived there for almost 50 years! No excuses now when he comes to visit us on Oahu. Hope Nhi is doing well. I noticed this was filmed a while ago, so I hope she is feeling good.
Aloha TitasMom!! Hahaha I would say the same thing to my siblings if they lived there for 50 years.👍🤙😁 But I'm sure there's some areas I may not know about in Kaneohe soo.. I'll give a little grace.😂 and yes.. filmed 3 months ago and Nhi is doing wel. Thanks for caring😁🤙👍
Thank you Sean and Nhi for this wonderful video. I never been to the Big Island and it's so beautiful. The portion of the foods is worth the price to me. I loved all that places but my best is the farmers market safe and fresh. I love this video and only in Hawaii you get lots of love and aloha. Over hear in Vegas I hate to say this there is locals from Hawaii open business they force they're aloha they don't have love in they're voice like Hawaii business. No love at all. That's why I miss my home Hawaii. But I'm a retiree and back home is too expensive for me. I so love your videos. Especially this one cause I never been to the Big Island and yes thanks to you two I get to see it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Mahalo and aloha strong.
Mahalo for watching and yes.. there's bigger portions for sure in Hilo than what I experience in Oahu. Hope you're able to visit. And I'm sorry about that in Vegas. Usually those people don't last or.. they end up realizing it and change their attitude!! Hope all is well in Vegas and Mahalo for watching 🤙
Next time you go Kula shave ice, check out the "Poke in sides' place next door. Got hands down my favorite fish tacos. Usually ahi, and get it tempura style to make it taste even better...
Mahalo Jon for the tip! Definitely will try those fish tacos tempura style. Aloha 🤙😋👍
You gotta try Fujiya Hawai’i mochi on Oahu!!! Two ladies is a must on Hilo tho🤤😋
Will def try Fujiya Hawaii Mochi since I'm back on Oahu. Mahalo🤙
I've been on a diet 😫. You making me miss home food 😋
Gotta do once every 8 days 😁
@@SunnyIlha YES.....
Awwww it's okay to have a cheat day here and there🤙👍 Mahalo for watching😁
@@SeanKaleponi Yes....
I just finished watching this video and it’s always a banger. How is the pregnancy coming along? Cant wait for the next video
Aloha Jesse!! Mahalo for watching and always supporting our channel! Pregnancy is good..baby is getting bigger and we are blessed with all the support we recieve.. Mahalo🤙😁
ALL LOOKING ONO ♥
Mahalo Michael for watching 🤙😋
Thanks for this vlog Sean and Nhi. I've only hung out on the other side of the Big Island (scuba diving and helicopter touring) but now I have to come back for a Hilo food tour!
Aloha Craig for watching!! That's what we're gonna do when we go to Kona. Do the scuba diving and Parks. Hope you enjoy the food in Hilo when you go!🤙👍
@@SeanKaleponi I will thanks!
Diving with the Manta Rays at night was amazing and diving in lava tubes was a bit scary (you always think lava is coming down. 😳🥵😂). I forgot to mention that I did go to Merriman's in Waimea. Incredible local sourced food and excellent service. Take Nhi there for date night next time you're on the Big Island.
literally, we just got back from the Big Island... 5x of the places were already on our list, we'll definitely add the other 5x for our next trip!!!
We also got rainbow bread from Low International, picked our our lychee from Kaye Family Farms, crispy beef jerky from George's Meat Market, and we got some Rainbow Falls Lavosh from KTA (we used to get it from their factory/kitchen but not sure if we can still do that).
Aloha Dadabetic!! Awesome you visited most of these places and still more to see. Gonna refer back to your list the next time we come to Hilo. Mahalo👍🤙😋
Oh you gotta go Kenichis the next time you go Hilo--ono
Aloha Sandee. I'll go Kenichis next time for sure. Mahalo 🤙😋
What's up Sean...awesome video of my hometown. Hilo is underrated and people pretty much go Kona side for food and sights. You might be one of the first guys that really wen come down Hilo and show what Hilo got to offer. Got to see some people I know on your video from Ken's who wen ring the bell and the two ladies at Farmers Market. Sorry was raining wen you came down and yes Cafe 100 close on the weekends but never go there for ages. Two ladies in the kitchen is one of my favorite for get some Mochi and my wife and daughters go Kula for some shave ice..next time you go Kula's ask for Kamaina discount at Kula and they going give you $1 off. Just Cruising Coffee you should have tried the Mac nut pesto sandwich. The thing is pretty good.....anyway much Mahalo for stopping by Hilo!! My favorite place for eat in Hilo is Miyos and Kenichi btw you gotta stop dropping your food. Lol
Aloha Kipo808! Yes.. we were aware that there wasn't a Hilo Food Tour on TH-cam and I don't know why. Soo many good spots you guys have and we really enjoyed the relaxing environment. The rain was no big deal but the food at Ken's, Two Ladies, Farmers Market was a big deal!! We def wanna visit Kona too but glad to come to this down to earth city. Gonna try Miyos and Kenichi the next time. Mahalo for wlays supporting this channel🤙👍
Man I was there back in February. I spent most of my time on the Kona side of the island. Kona was beautiful but I couldn’t find good food anywhere. The food wasn’t bad. It just was mid. I feel like Hilo had way better options. Next time I go back I’m spending more time in Hilo.
Aloha Kevin! Mahalo for watching. I was told that Kona has more activities and it's more touristy, but Hilo is more local style and has better foods. Hope you come to Hilo next time😋🤙😁
Sean!!! We arrive in Oahu this Sunday for 5 days -- can we take you to breakfast lunch or dinner?!?!
Our fam has been watching you, and I’d love to surprise the fam by meeting you and blessing you for the fun you’ve given us 🤙
Oh man, love the video. I am not a fan of the big island but you and Nhi make want to go back. I need to buy the matching salty and sweet t-shirts for Susan and me.
Aloha!! Please enjoy your time here with your family! 5 days can't come sooner! I'll be off Island working this week but I appreciate your offer. Thank for commenting and watching👍🤙😁
Aloha Kenny!! Always good hearing from you! And yes.. the shirts are there on the site. Thank you to you and Susan for always supporting us. And Hilo is def good for the food and just a load back environment for sure😁🤙👍
Great video! Will you be going to Maui?? Love to see some there too!
Aloha Katherine! Well def shoot for Maui next year (Hopefully early next year)🤙
@@SeanKaleponi we will be coming to Oahu in January 2025 for a week. Then going to Maui. Enjoying videos of places to go on Oahu. Thank you. Would love to take you and your wife out to dinner while we are there. I lived in Denmark for a year as an exchange student.
Love the video! After baby's born you guys have to go back and try Suisan's poke!! There's also Makani's magic pineapple shack. They have good acai bowls
Mahalo Kristine for watching! Well def be back next year and I'll try Makanis Magic and Susan's Poke. I appreciate the tips.🤙😋
Aloha!

Next time you're in Hilo try Don's Grill, Koji's Bento, Hilo Seaside, Coconut Grill, eta. Some say Cafe 100 or Lincoln Grill now known as Koji's were the inventors of the Loco Moco. All the other islands never knew what that was. Visited Diner's in the seventies and ordered one and they look at you like you were high on something. Lol high on food from the Big Islands.
Hahah Ray I def have to go to Diners with all the suggestions told to me. And I'll try all the Grill places as well:):) Mahalo for the recs👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi Thought Diner's close. Across from the now closed Likelike Dive Inn. Now a Walmart. LOL.
Cannot believe never go Kawamoto’s !!!!
Next time Brian🤙

!!!!!SUMO CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!!! HILO just take my money and give me your food. Super good sir Super vlog👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Aloha Telawson! Def worth the movie and SUMO size is where it's at😁🤙 Mahalo for watching🤙😁
Sean. Where is the beef consumed in Hawaii coming from? Is it locally sourced and from the mainland? Also the OG mochi are the ones with adzuki red bean. Good adzuki beans are very fine without any bean skin. The one that they out on Matsu shave ice is low quality Adzuki beans you can see the bean skin. Love the market. But I like the diversity of the Oahu food better😎
Aloha Min C! I couldn't tell you where the beef comes from and the azuki beans was rich in those mochi we had. Oahu has more diversity with food since Hilo is more small but nothing beats Hilos farmers market👍🤙
Mahalo for always supporting us🤙👍
Great picks..best poke bowl is Poke Market on Waianuenue…get the shiitake salmon…so ono
Mahalo. Gonna check out the Poke Market the next time I go. Aloha🤙😋😁
Reuben’s! One of my favorite places to eat!
We loved Reuben’s. Such good Mexican Food Ryan😋🤙
Next visit you HAVE to hit up Big Island Bakehouse/The Keaau Deli. Their baked goods are next level! 🤤
Mahalo Elizabeth! I'll check out the Keaau Deli next time🤙😋
Howzit braddah Ken’s
Kens was my favorite🤙😋
Hey Sean, how come you only make one video a month? You should make more, love your videos
Aloha Tung! Oh. Just because I work a full time job and Nhi has her own business. But of course we want to go full time TH-cam We will do our best to get there🤙👍
If you haven't visited before another local place in Hilo you could visit is Kandi's Drive Inn.
Gonna hit up Kandis Drive In next time Justin 🤙😋
Liko Lehua in Kaumana and Punalu'u Bakery in Na'alehu are onolicious #brokedamouthkine
Mahalo Shauna! Def gonna check out Punalu'lu next time😋🤙
peanut butter and brownie mochi is the best from 2 ladies!
Peanut Butter and Brownie Mochi are def winners🤙😋
Brother you are the first video I ever saw about Hawaii. We started doing research for our first ever trip to Oahu, since then I met a pretty awesome podcaster from Oahu as well who has helped me learn so much about Hawaii and it's culture. I hope one day you two meet and collab on something soon. Please check out Ikaikaloha, Tales from the Taro Patch, if you like I can get you his info
Mahalo David! I appreciate you watching and I'll check out Ikaikaloha! Aloha and have a great weekend🤙😁
Yes sir, I always recommend you to people who want to find the best grinds and Ikaikaloha for people wanting to learn more about the history, culture and Hawaiian politics. Mahalo nui loa for personally responding! Makes a fan feel special! 🤙🏽
Woohoo-Hilo! Love all those spots. But don’t spread the word about the Hilo farmer’s market-shhhh!
So sorry.. it was 5th on the video if people make it that far. I love the Farmers Market.👍🤙 Mahalo for watching
A tip for those who go to BI Candies in Hilo to bring back to Honolulu. Check the sign for each item. If there's a small "AM" in the corner (upper right I think), that means that item can be found at the Ala Moana store, so you might as well just get it there. If no "AM," it's a Hilo exclusive.
Mahalo Spang. Wish I knew that beforehand. I did see items I don't think we're in any of the Oahu stores.🤙😋
@@SeanKaleponi Well ultimately, you buy what you want to buy. But if you're trying to save space and weight in your luggage, just get Hilo exclusives and the rest at Ala Moana.
agreed "two ladies" best mochi on the islands.... fugetsudo best mochi in LA!!
Mahalo Tracie for watching! Gonna try Fugetsudo in L.A when we go🤙♥️😋
@@SeanKaleponi PLEASE DO and then tell us what u think!! its right on first street in J-town (little tokyo) - 100+ years old - survived the internment camps! its Japanense american history!! pink and white/blueberry w/shiro ahn... so delicious😋
Please do a review on Kona (or west side of BI), ill be visiting in july .
Aloha Risah! We plan to do a Kona one next year. Hope this helps out if you do decide to come to Hilo🤙😋
@@SeanKaleponi sounds good. Thank you for the videos!
Awesome Sean and Nhi!! I like that you guys are exploring the other islands too. Love all the Hilo Food and the vibes seem so chill!! Awesome to have your friend Keith there as well🤙👍 Have a great weekend 🤙
Aloha Crucial Thinker! Mahalo for always watching and supporting. We totally want to explore the other islands and we want to do more episodes!! And Keith is one cool guy!! 🤙
Kuhio Grill use to be good but not anymore. Hawaiian Style Cafe has gone downhill with their flavor also. You have to check out our Okazuya in Hilo as it’s the best in the State of Hawaii. Kawamoto’s, Hilo Lunch Shop and Asami’s is where it’s at for the locals.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Kuhio Grille and still like Hawaiian Style Cafe. I think the focus was more on portions although I loves their pancakes:):) I'll check out the other places next time you mentioned. I appreciate it🤙👍
Steamed in Ti leaf, wrapped in Luau...
Sorry I had a brain fat. I meant ti leaf🤙😁😋
