Hands down, the best sushi restaurant in Hilo. We normally order takeout and stop by Grapes for a nice bottle of wine to pair with the delicious sushi. The price is right!

Drinks & Nightlife

Wainaku Wednesdays at the WEC are the best! Great drinks, mostly business type locals who are there to take in the incredible views, network and partake in the food and drinks. Open to the public every Wednesday from 5pm - 8 pm. Worth the stop for sure! I'm there almost every Wednesday!

The views are stunning and the vastness of the island can really be experienced when you are on top of the world. This is the only place in the world where you can see snow and a live volcanic lava flow in the same day! Make your trip and epic one and experience it all!

Everything Else

I play basketball in an open gym every Thursday night at 8 pm. Sometimes they go 25 deep with players. Locals get first dibs, so wait your turn, play nice and you should get a run in. Tell them John Kai sent you or not? Haha.
