Island Roots - Kailua-Kona

What a gem! This small spot by the highway occasionally pops up at street food markets, and it's definitely worth seeking out. Now, let's talk about the food. The menu is concise, but every option looks incredible. We had a group with us, so we decided to try the Kays Lilikoi and Spicy Volcano dishes, paired with brown rice and seafood slaw. The shrimp were cooked to perfection—the tails and the bowls were still delightful! The seafood slaw and rice complemented the spices in the Spicy Volcano and the sweet butter in Kay's Lilikoi wonderfully. The Spicy Volcano packed a nice kick and heat without being overwhelming, while the Kays Lilikoi was wonderfully sweet and tender, making the shrimp practically vanish! Be sure to check their schedule on social media, but it’s definitely worth the trip and the effort to find this food truck. You won’t want to miss it!

I think I’m hooked on the Vulcan crimp. It's truly the best I've ever had! Whether you have it with rice or as a salad, it’s definitely worth it!

Absolutely! The Lilikoi Shrimp is fantastic!!! I highly recommend checking out this place!

One of the best places to eat in the city. Just follow them and you won't be disappointed. The kimchi slaw rocks!

The fish salad was soooo good!! Nice big piece of fish on top the crisp salad. I loved every bite of it!
