Amazing local spot with family style dishes. The servers pay attention to detail and know the menu well. We had the Smokey tuna sashimi, which isnt pictured because we ate it instantly. The special of the day of a goat rib turnover which was one of the best things we ate here. Highly recommend!

Friendly neighborhood spot, fun staff, great food options and yummy cocktails. Even though they were very busy they sat us quickly and they even celebrated a birthday for one of their regulars. Parking can be hard to find, and the area can be a little nervous after dark but highly recommend this place.

Amazing restaurant !! Affordable fancy food in Hilo ! Only been a couple times and I’d definitely go many more. Can’t believe it took me years to try it. The dishes seem to update daily depending on fresh ingredients available at that time. Always something new! Personally I could eat the small dishes all night and pass on the main course lol

Menu on 7.12.2023 was great! Some dishes were heads and shoulders above others but overall a great experience!

They require reservations but was able to accommodate us without one. We picked some porridge based dishes. The mushroom risotto is banging. Get that for sure. The main dish can easily feed 2 people and 3 with one other dish. We picked the market fish. The ginger in our mahi mahi was very overpowering so not as enjoyable but overall good. Overall a different angle on food and very welcome overall if you’re looking for something than the usual pupus.

The meal and service at Moon and Turtle was great. We made a reservation in advance and ordered virtually everything on the menu. I particularly enjoyed the beef shank campanelle pasta, Smokey sashimi in Kiawe-smoked soy, and the garlic butter ahi belly. I wasn’t taken by the local abalone or the panko-crusted ono, but glad I tried. Definitely one of the better restaurants in the area – and for good reason. Will be back to sample the rotating menu when I come back!

This is my favorite restaurant in Hilo, and also on the island. You will likely need reservations, and they are closed Mondays.

The food was good, however a little expensive for what it was. Pretty limited menu, but apparently, it does change frequently. Service was good. Reservations are pretty much required to get in. I would definitely eat here again but I’m not sure what the fuss is all about.

Always looking for fun out of the way dining experiences. My cute wife wanted to dine here for her birthday! Absolutely delicious the Smoked Sashimi and Portuguese Sausage Campanelle are worth trying. Local ingredients and fresh caught fish.
