A hole-in-the-wall atmosphere with very good food, plenty of it, and very fair pricing, especially when you consider the area they are in. We had the Korean plate and would recommend that anyone else get it, too! Only four stars because it is pretty steamy in the dining area (need more fans or some A/C). The staff are pleasant and helpful.

The owners Joy and Kaliko offer great, tasty and affordable plate lunches! And they are so friendly. My dad loves their HÄmÄkua beef burger served on house made bun. I really enjoy their cheesecake (ono loa!) and fresh banana bread. They have great take away options available at the farmers market on Saturday. Can get spam options and croissant sandwiches to eat at the beach park. Try um!

Great, friendly place to grab a quick lunch before exploring. We got the Chef's special fish, macaroni salad and white rice. Simple, fresh tasting food and they gave us free water.

Very good food and friendly laid back service. We got the fish and chips and French dip, both were great. Also note, you can BYOB!

Hidden little fast food place in Hilo. Quality real food at decent prices. Ordered their fish & chips and finished the entire plate. For $12, I got real potato fries (not the frozen french fries most other places give you), salad, and three pieces of fish. The portion is small though, was barely enough to make me full. Overall, this place is pretty good if you want a quick meal. I also noticed that they bake their own bread, which is pretty impressive.

The other week I try their new Burger Beatrice, and omg it was crazy delicious it was as if I had a whole party in my mouth, as soon as I bit into the burger it was an explosion I'm not one for Beatrice but my goodness it tastes so nice and it complemented the the grass fed burger I highly recommended every one to try this place out.

The Kaliko Burger ($11.50) is named after Joy's husband. The burger is made with HÄmÄkua grass-fed beef and topped with his favorites – lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, bacon, avocado, sliced portabella mushroom, cheddar, Jarlsberg swiss cheese and served with hand-cut medium French fries. It was a “broke da mouth†burger with lots of toppings heaped onto a juicy beef patty. Each bite had huge flavor from the salty, smoky bacon, sweet caramelized onions, creamy avocado, and earthy, meaty portabella. The fries were cooked Filipino-style. They were not super crispy on the outside but had nice golden-brown color on the outside and were tender on the inside. Rating: 5/5 Local-Style Fish and Chips ($10.50) is panko-breaded mahi mahi served with hand-cut fries, tartar sauce, and organic tossed greens. The fish had a golden-brown, crispy exterior from the panko breading and were succulent on the inside. The fresh greens had a light dressing so the produce could shine through with their own natural flavors. Rating: 5/5 Remy's Homemade Lilikoi Cheesecake is a must-try! It was a light-style cheesecake, not heavy like New York-style, with a velvety, creamy texture. The shortbread crust had a nice texture, kind of cookie and cake-like at the same time. The lilikoi sauce is made from lilikoi grown in Joy's backyard and has a fresh flavor with a perfect balance of sweet and tart.

After the long drive from Kona and visiting Rainbow Falls. we were ready for lunch. We waked up and down Kamehameha Ave and nothing grabbed our attention. Then we spotted a building with a food court inside. This was the last one on the left and it was perfect. We shared the special of the day which was Mahi-Mahi and it was perfect. The staff was friendly and the prices were good. We couldn't even finish the rice. If we visit Hilo again, we'll definitely eat there again.

Happened into the food court for shaved ice, further back were tables, and Remy's. What a GREAT burger and fries, made only better by the friendly service.

Great place for a quick bite to eat. Located in a little food court where you get multiple options. Remy's has a great Loco Moco and awesome burgers. Most places will give you a tiny burger patty but Remy's does it right!
