Small hole-in-the-wall eatery, tasty local fish served fried. There is a patio by the water to sit and eat your meal.

Nothing special here. Regular old fried seafood. I doubt the seafood is "fresh". Everything tasted frozen. The salmon burger my gf ordered was definitely frozen, processed salmon. She barely finished it. This place is fine if you want something "cheap" (for the location) and fast.

Great fish sandwich - needs a little seasoning but an amazing deal for the location. Outside seating only and overlooking the Koi pond - beautiful!

Very affordable and tasty fish and chips (battered mahi mahi), adorable couple running the place. Salmon burger was just okay, shrimps were not as good as stuff we've had off the trucks (i.e. Macky's in O'ahu) but they were tasty nonetheless. Watch out for the birds when you sit to eat - they sit on the chairs, fences and tables... More

Took our two little ones here along with my elderly parents and found something for everyone. It is certainly not the BEST fish and chips the world has ever seen.....but it was very good and very reasonably priced considering the other options in Waikaloa. Nice patio seating next to the lagoon makes for a nice break from shopping. I would... More

They have a lovely patio area along a lagoon to enjoy their yummy food. Reasonably priced and good fast food right in the King's Shops.

This was a great place to come get a delicious, fresh fish meal without the local resort pricing scale! Good service and a neat setting out on the patio.

well worth a visit, great value, and friendly, you need to have a good walk after eating, to burn off the food.

This is a tiny little take-out window hidden in the back of the King's Shops in Waikoloa. There is lots of out-door seating available, right on the lake, and the koi swim up hoping you'll feed them. Don't. The fish and chips were very good, and an incredible value, likely the best in the resort. Definitely worth the hunt.
