Description:
KOHALA COAST. Seduced by the gorgeous Fairmont Orchid resort on the Big Island's northwest shore, diners at Norio's are similarly awed by the bounty of fresh seafood at this eponymous restaurant named in honor of master sushi chef Norio Yamamoto. The menu highlights specialty rolls that incorporate soft-shell crab, fresh scallops, and fatty tuna, and it revels in main courses like misoyaki butterfish and lobster-and-shrimp tempura. Omakase options focus on sushi and sashimi, and sakes are available as accompaniments. For added adventure, catch all the culinary action with a seat at the sushi bar, or enjoy a private dinner in a secluded room with garden views. |

Description:
KOHALA COAST. This restaurant's Pacific Rim-influenced menu boasts a wide range of scrumptious seafood options.

The scene is equally delightful, and the rolling surf just a few yards away juxtaposes nicely with the large, outrigger canoe hanging over the enchanting outdoor dining area. |

Description:
KOHALA COAST. Restauranteur Roy Yamaguchi has garnered quite a reputation for himself, both in the Paradise State and on the mainland, and it's little wonder. Specializing in Pacific Rim cuisine, the Kohala Coast edition of his culinary empire dazzles diners with Szechuan-style baby back ribs, a kiawe-grilled rib-eye, and curry seared ahi tuna. Despite the shopping center locale, the restaurant offers an upscale scene that tends to get noisy during peak hours. The best tables offer clears views of either an adjacent golf course or a nearby lake. |

Description:
KAMUELA. A native of Lorraine, France, Daniel Thiebaut brings to the Big Island distinct French flair and dazzles patrons with his propensity for adding Asian or Polynesian culinary touches. The restaurant, located in the historic Chock In Store building (circa 1900), is set in verdant Waimea ranch country and is a favorite with romantics, who adore its antiques, local curiosities, uniquely appointed tables, and multi-hued Sig Zane fabrics (a must for any Hawaiian restaurant worth its salt). Featured dishes include crab cakes with corn and lemongrass-coconut lobster sauce, Hunan-style rack of lamb with eggplant compote, and wok-fried scallops with Asian-style risotto and coconut dressing. |

Description:
KAMUELA. Despite a distinctly American-sounding moniker, Charley's has become a Big Island favorite for luscious, flavorful Thai fare. While there might not be a lot of attention given to ambience, the focus is clearly on the food, where authentic, fresh spices make hot dishes really hot! Servings are generous too, so you'll definitely get your fill of offerings like pad thai, pad see ew, and a variety of curries. Thai plate lunches are an added bonus. |

Description:
KOHALA COAST. [Undergoing renovations due to earthquake damage; expected to reopen in December 2008.] The Mauna Ke'a Beach Hotel's signature restaurant, Batik suavely combines Far East-influenced decor and atmosphere with superb Euro-Asian cuisine to create one of the Big Island's most unique dining experiences. Enclosed completely in glass, the two-level, main dining area is accented with stained koa ceilings and bathed in soft, romantic light. House specialties include Thai curries served with naan bread, a veal porterhouse steak with fava beans, and Keahole lobster Provençale. Desserts are equally decadent, and Grand Marnier soufflé and Valrhona chocolate cake are particular standouts. |

Description:
KONA COAST. Locals love plate lunches, which generally come with a choice of meats, plus macaroni salad and rice or green salad. Kona Mix Plate is one of the most popular, thanks to its loyal following of regulars. Japanese, Korean, and Hawaiian influences are evident – teriyaki beef, chicken katsu, and broiled mahi mahi are some of the big sellers. The restaurant's strip mall location may not be particularly inspiring, but if you're looking for authentic local food, this is the best option. |

Description:
KONA COAST. Sushi and fusion cuisine – presented in an elegant, relaxed setting – don't get any better than this. Of course, only the freshest seafood is used, so the sushi is impeccable. Even so, the wide-ranging menu includes such an intriguing array of Japanese-inspired dishes that you may not get around to sushi. Starters include crab cakes, lobster rolls, and broiled black cod. Entrees range from seared ono with mashed yams to roasted duck with orange hoisin sauce and lamb in a macadamia nut crust. The molten flourless chocolate cake is achieving legendary status, so save room for it. Kenichi Pacific is small, making reservations essential. |

Description:
KONA COAST. Traditional tempura and sashimi are specialties at this friendly joint, tucked away in the Honalo community. A family affair that's been around since the 1920s, Teshima also earns high marks for terrific miso soup and sukiyaki. If you're savvy enough, a teishoku platter (an entree served with fresh vegetable sides, a bowl of rice, miso soup, and house salad) will certainly do the trick. Meanwhile, early risers can stop in and enjoy a traditional Japanese breakfast of soup, rice, and fish before hitting nearby sites and beaches. Dinner reservations are accepted and are suggested for large parties. |
