A proper lunch can brighten up a dull day at the office and provide afternoon fuel to get you through a full school day. In the Hilo, HI, area, whenever people are hankering for a fulfilling mid-day meal of authentic Asian and Hawaiian food, they head to Kawamoto Store.

For more over 70 years, this restaurant and catering company has served the Big Island. Regular customers know they can always count on friendly service and affordable prices. However, what they love the most is the broad selection of lunch dishes!

They offer an astounding variety of authentic Asian and Hawaiian food. For example, their chefs have mastered a wide range of Japanese cuisine, such as maki sushi, tempura, and shoyu pork.

They offer several carefully crafted bento boxes at different price points, so there’s something for everyone! These bentos range from four items for when you’re just feeling a bit peckish to seven items for your hungrier days. They’re also the perfect way to sample a lot of dishes and find out what you like.

When you’re in a rush, you can pick up a bento box, but if you have the time, peruse their many dishes! If you happen to stop by on the 1st Wednesday of every month, you can even find malasadas!
