Hawaii Restaurants

Food on the Big Island of Hawaii reflects the island's long culinary history. While it's true that kalua pig and whole fish dominate most menus in Volcano, it's also worth looking for restaurants that serve modern Hawaiian food trends like poke bowls, a dish that's essentially a deconstructed version of sushi. Every restaurant on the Big Island puts their own spin on it, but common ingredients include noodles, spicy garlic salmon and tofu with soy sauce. You won't just find tasty dishes in restaurants; Volcano plays host to plenty of food trucks and plate-lunch diners that keep their ingredients local. The dramatic backdrop of fiery lava flows and black-sand beaches provides an accent to the culinary fusions happening here.
