05/27/2008: "Ken's House of Pancakes - Hilo, Hawaii"

I love diner digs, and this is no exception. I heard great things about this place, and it didn't disappoint! I visited twice. It's like Hilo's Anna Millers, only Ken's is much better! Let's check out what I had.

Cute restaurant sign




Busy busy busy restaurant interior shots


Ken's Menu


The Original Loco Moco ($6.25 USD)


You gotta break the yolk and let it ooze everywhere!


2 scoops rice, 5 oz. beerf patty, brown gravy and 2 eggs. You can't beat this, I can see why Ken's is known for their great loco moco.


Saimin ($6.65 USD)


Typical saimin garnishes


Teriyaki Chicken Stick


Noodles shot! This saimin comes with a teriyaki chicken stick, char siu pork, egg garnish, fish cake and green onions in a shrimp broth. Very delicious!


Eggs N' Things with Portuguese Sausage ($7.85 USD)


My love for portuguese sausage is deep, this should be popular in all restaurants that sell breakfast


Eggs over easy...yummy


Buttermilk Pancakes, Eggs N' Things comes with 2 eggs, rice or hash brown and your choice of buttermilk pancakes or toast.


Same dish but with scrambled eggs and hash browns...


Breakfast in Hawaii is not complete without rice, so here it is! Side of rice ($1.50 USD).

Another shot of the great sausage...


Yummy eggs, not so much scrambled...but close enough.

Ken's is a MUST visit for anyone visiting Hilo! They offer a huge variety of great food and are open 24 hours a day! You can't beat that kind of food and service. Highly recommended!

Hi Scott! Thanks for the tip on parking. Luckily for me, both times I found a spot in the crowded lot. Did you end up parking on the street both those times?

Love this place, but the parking can be a big challenge. The last time I was in Hilo I tried on two different days to go to Ken's but the parking was full both times
