Fodor's Review:
It's out of the way, but the food at this spot in the heart of Hawi is good and the service and ambience have a Hawaiian-country flair. Creative entrées feature fresh island fish prepared several ways. The Thai-style fish, for example, combines lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves, and coconut milk; it's best washed down with a passion-fruit margarita or passion-fruit iced tea. Bamboo accents, bold local artwork, and an old unfinished wooden floor make the restaurant cozy. Local musicians entertain on Friday and Saturday night.

Great lunches

Although it's out-of-the-way and in the opposite direction, I always stop here for lunch on my way to the airport for afternoon flights back to the mainland.
Charming and Delicious (Try the Lili'koi Margaritas)
Posted by jrz from Northern Virginia, USA on 10/28/07
What a charming place, funky and inviting. We were recommended to this place in tiny Hawi by someone at the airport Hertz counter--and he was right. We had a great dinner--a huge chicken breast stuffed with Kalua pig (a Hawaiian speciality) and a lili'koi glaze, macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi, and panko crusted calamari strips appetizer. All accompanied by their trademark lili'koi (passion fruit) margaritas served in coconut cups. The waitstaff was friendly and engaging. Don't miss the art gallery/shop upstairs. And buy the cookbook ($5) for a souvenir. Note: Bamboo is closed on Mondays.
