Sam Choy's Kai Lanai - Kailua-Kona

The evening meal of my man was good, but I had the worst dinner we've ever met there. I ordered a chrispy duck court, but the half of it was huh. duck is dark meat the half of this overly baked, then fried plate had white meat in it. they wanted to save it. it is an expensive restaurant to expect good food. DON’t order this dish!

The former Wendy’s location is impressive; great sunset view. eating is good, not spectacular. the service was attentive and thoughtful. there was a mix on our wine order and they have us 2 glasses; beautiful geste. her fish is fresh and well prepared. Fish trio was nice combo. recommended reservation for the front line table.

Everything was fantastic except the weather. we tried some of their signature drinks and three menu items. the mai tai was typical, but hawaiian mimosas were excellent. baked rice with eggs was good, but the bark stew omelette was inspired. all about a Sunday dinner with family packed in an omelette. we ended up with cocose nuts, which proved to be the perfect end. the local honey fits perfectly with the frittes. next time we are on the big island it is worth the two-hour drive from hilo.

Had lunch there. 3 of the five meals were very good. The out door view is amazing

Food not bad, waitress left a lot to be desired. Asked for a suggestion and she told me “I’m funny” wasn’t trying to be.
