Aomatsu - Hilo

It's a little pricy, but it's worth it. For lunch you can go to Bento or eat. They serve Katsu as a main dish (chicken, pig or fish of the day). If they have the gyoza available, then you should definitely get it. Best gyoza I ever had it and it's homemade there in the store.

Aomatsu greeted us cordially and her food was delicious! tonkatsu with sauce options and a delicious dressing for the cabbage salad. If I were a local, I would often go here.

Delicious Authenticity Tonkatsu, a little expensive, but the portions were good and the pork brain catsu was delicious.

Generally, delicious lunch. The hostess was gracious and attentive, noticed that my wife, Ramen, squirted on her clothes and brought us paper towels. We mainly decide to come here because it is right next to Hilo Brewing, but that was a great lunch and worth a visit. Of course also popular with locals.

Best katsu I have had outside of Japan! Delicious and authentic. The staff is so incredibly friendly too. And the restaurant is BYOB so we went next door to the brewery to grab a 6 pack of beer for our meal. You must try this place if you love katsu and bento boxes!
