Fumi's Kitchen

Let me tell you a great story. My wife and I are at Fumis here in Kona HI. The other day we came in and didn't know we had top get our parking validated before we paid for parking. Well, Ronnie, the owner of the restaurant, came to our table and told us he would try to get our charge reversed. Im thinking okay, sure. So we come back in today. Who shows up at our table? Ronnie! He has a couple more questions before he can get our money back. Folks, tge food here is good, the service is good but the integrity of Ronnie is great!

Food was tasty. Had never tried Saimin before and it was great — kind of a mild ramen. Shrimp tempura appetizer was crispy and hot.

This place is a hidden gem. All the other restaurants have the same $25 burger and fresh catch of the day. This place is unique, has fantastic food, and is really laid back. The host is very gracious and you get an amazing plate of food!!!

Chicken Yakitori is a must try! Crisp on the outside and tender juicy on the inside. Cooked perfectly where you would taste that smoky flavor but not any bitterness. We tried to order more(just the chicken instead of the whole meal) and thought Yakitori chicken on the stick would taste very similar but it did not, still good though just a different way of cooking I guess.

If your looking for a delightful dining cultural experience, Fumi's is an excellent choice for a Japanese dining experience. The Mood as you enter relaxes you. The vibrant smiles enlighten you. The food, filled with pride, satisfies you. I was blown away with the dishes that and the care from the hostess. With much thanks... dinner for two. Amazing. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

Kona’s secret treasure! Excellent food and quick service! I got the shiso clams with a side of ramen noodles to dump in after the clams were finished. Delicious and generous portions for a good price! If you’re in the area - this place is a must whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or a nice meal with family/friends! Bonus: right next to the water!

If you find yourself in Kailua-Kona craving a bowl of hot, comforting, slurp-worthy noodles, let me save you the trouble of searching—Fumi’s Kitchen is the spot. It’s the kind of local gem where you walk in, take one deep breath of that rich broth in the air, and immediately know you made the right choice. Let’s talk about the saimen first. The broth is light yet flavorful, packed with that umami goodness that makes you wonder if the chef secretly has a cauldron in the back. The noodles? Springy, chewy, and soaking up all that delicious broth like they were born for this. Add in the classic toppings—green onions, kamaboko (fish cake), char siu—and you’ve got a bowl of Hawaiian perfection. And then there’s the udon. Thick, bouncy udon noodles swimming in a deep, rich broth that somehow feels both hearty and light at the same time. The atmosphere is casual, the service is warm, and the food makes you want to move to the islands permanently.

Amazing tempura fries so delicious! We wished we had ordered more! Staff was really friendly. It really seemed like most of the people in there were locals. It’s behind the strip where most of the shops are and it doesn’t have a big sign outside. We almost passed by it. Good amount of food for the price. We all left full. It was cool inside with multiple fans going and an ac unit. Good mix of island food and American food. Full bar. Very clean and nice bathroom available for customers. The women’s is inside, the men’s is outside and you’ll have to ask a staff member for the door code.

Went in & had lunch. Place was quiet_cozy_clean n spacious. The server was super friendly. We got to sit ourselves, we picked a booth seating. The menu was simple and clear. Ice tea and Stella Artois was choice of drink. Ordered, pork chop shrimp tempura tray. Yumm E. Miso soup and all the fixings. Also on the mop session_ Fried Ahi_ Shrimp tempura, also an Awêsomê meal. Dessert was the Chantilly cake with vanilla ice cream. Go and try, however, if a lite eater, try the A la Carte menu its quite pricey if you eat lite.
