Made reservations ahead of time. Place was busy on a Saturday at 6pm during June, they took us early and took walk in as well.
I enjoyed my opakapaka Ravioli that the waitress recommended. Husband said fish and chips was okay. Appetizers and drinks were decent. View of the ocean was spectacular, Would go back! ...READ LESS
Great view of the Kailua bay, great food and staff Stopped over at this restaurant for a quick lunch and coffee with my wife. She ordered the Mahi Mahi, and I the fish and chips. The food was yummy. The staff was amicable and expedient - took care of everything we needed.
Fantastic views and amazing dinner!!! Made reservations here while on vacation and it was perfect!! Ordered the Mahi-mahi and it was fire!!! Customer service was super friendly and great.
Great food This restaurant has some great food with the poke and the ono. Service was great with kanoe. Took forever to get a table but we heard the hostess left not feeling well. Manager was doing everything which was great to see and did seat us as soon she could. Kanoe was great and Jenny sang happy birthda...

Manager was doing everything which was great to see and did seat us as soon she could. Kanoe was great and Jenny sang happy birthday and she is awesome with her voice. Kanoe went off shift and we closed out with her and then nobody picked us up to make sure we were taken care of. Very disappointing with nobody to follow up with us. We tipped very well with our servers and Jenny but no other service. ...READ LESS
Great breakfast option, loved the pancake breakfast, awesome oceanfront view, but most importantly, the service was superb. Rebecca was our server, so prompt and courteous and the rest of the staff always ready help out. Something hard to find these days. Can tell they have been well trained.
Love this place. Great staff, great sunset views. Try the Pasta Isabella and the Macadamia-crusted Mahi Mahi. Our waiter--Aramyn, I think her name was?--is a treasure. Double her base pay!
Breakfast bargain reservations are helpful. Beautiful view for breakfast. i had a yummy omelette and my husband and my daughter enjoyed the farmers breakfast. Good hot coffee. not rushed. Kona vibes. nothing like breakfast to the sound of the ocean.
Delicious tradition Great food right on the main road in kona. We stay up in Mauna Kea beach hotel each year but always make an effort to come down to kona to eat here. The service, food, and ambience is unmatchable we really enjoy eating here and will continue eating here each year
Went for breakfast, definitely recommend pancakes, cool atmosphere, all inside but windows and doors are all open providing nice air flow.

Great View and Food I did a google search on seafood restaurants in the area we were staying in and the Fish Hopper came up with great reviews. I had to try it myself. It was worth going, the wait staff was great and the food was even better. It was so good we went back twice. The food was fresh, the portions were fair and the food was great! - 2 weeks ago

Food was good, recommendation for fish meals We had a nice evening with a very nice table (reserved before). We both ordered fish as main dish und fried octopus as appetizer.
Octopus was okay with tasty sauces
Mahi Mahi with sides (vegetables and sweet smash potato + sauce) was very good
Yellow tuna was good, sides (rice and vegetables) missed some sauce and salt
Both cocktails were also good.
Nice location if you get the right table. Rates are partly relatively high.
In a nutshell we would recommend to book a table - 2 weeks ago

Joseph JoubertA busy spot. Even with a reservation we had to wait 15 minutes to get seated. Prompt service at the table. Our server was cheerful and answered all our questions relative to the menu. The appetizers and entrees were plated in a way to create a strong visual appeal and they were delicious. Liked it so much that we made a reservation for lunch tomorrow . - 2 years ago
rex connelyA nice open air location looking out at the beach. The food and menu were great. If you are super hungry try one of their ship platters...but bring your wallet. The drink menu was impressive. - 2 years ago
Andrew BrysonWas walking by and needed a place to eat. So glad we stopped in. The service was great and fast. Wasn't sure what to have so the waiter suggested the Ono fish and chips. It was a good meal, very tasty and filling. The fish was cooked perfectly and it had a lovely light batter. I want more. - 2 years ago
Sammie LewisAlthough we didn’t get anything other than breakfast, I highly recommend Fish Hopper! It’s one of the more reasonably priced places that still taste quality. Service was great every time we went! I recommend the French toast or crab omelette. Love this place! - 2 years ago

Sat at the bar on Christmas Eve, had a cocktail and tried their Poke Nachos, Crispy Calamari and the beef and shrimp skewers. Everything was promptly delivered and it was delicious. The bartender Katie was awesome to watch her practice her craft. Our server, not sure if her name, she was on top of our needs, never missed a beat.
You must try their Bloody Mary, they are a essentially a breakfast entree.
Great food, great service!
Merry Christmas! - 2 years ago

Amazing! We were in Kona for a week and ended up eating there every single night. The food is really unbelievable. Kalani made us feel like family and the same for Joel. even the special salad was spectacular. And we don't like salad! Everything was fresh and cooked perfect and everyone there was extremely helpful and it really made our trip special.
Steaks, all kinds of local fish, wasabi mashed potatoes and mashed sweet potatoes, and of course the beautiful and crisp local salad! Outstanding. Thanks again everyone! - 2 days ago

I'm so happy that we checked this restaurant out on our last day in Hawaii. The servers were really nice, the food was delicious and we had yet another beautiful view. On top of that, this place had one of the best clam chowders I've ever had in my life, and I've had a lot of them.
My wife and I started out with the coconut fried shrimp and a bowl of the clam chowder. The shrimp were okay, but they tasted a bit more like fry oil than they did coconut. The shrimp were a good size, though and quite juicy! The clam chowder was absolutely astonishing. There were thick chunks of vegetables, loads of clams, the consistency was perfect and it was absolutely bursting with flavor. I was very skeptical because a lot of places claim to have amazing clam chowder but I'm glad to have put my suspicions to rest. This is a must if you're headed to this restaurant!
For mains, my wife had the mahi mahi and I had a lightly crusted whole fish (which I believe was an ono), which came with shrimp, tomatoes and vegetables. My wife loved her mahi mahi and even though she isn't normally a fan of it, she ate all of the mango-papaya salsa that it was topped with. She also thought that the mashed sweet potatoes were excellent and as I've mentioned in previous reviews from our trip to Hawaii, these purple sweet potatoes have become her new obsession. My whole fish was also very tasty. I loved that it was only lightly fried, as you could get large pieces of fish with this softer, delicate crunch on the skin, which was a textural dream. Flavor wise, however, it had a similar issue as the shrimp, it tasted strongly like frying oil. To combat that, the tomatoes that they served with this were just about the most flavor packed tomatoes I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Along with some sort of creamy citrus sauce (of which, I can't honestly remember the name), they surprisingly worked well with the oily taste of the fish as well as complemented the texture. What could have been a "meh" meal actually turned out to be quite stellar when all the accompaniments were combined. I should also mention that the grilled shrimp were also plump and juice, but a little under seasoned.
To finish off, we ordered some dessert. I had a lime and mango cheesecake and my wife had a crème brûlée. I don't know if there's ever been a crème brûlée that my wife didn't enjoy, but this was certainly not the exception to that. Had we not eaten so much already, she probably would have gone for a second one. My cheesecake was exquisite. The lime was both sweet and tart, the mango was extra sweet and creamy, balancing out the strong citrus notes of the lime. The cheesecake as a whole was so luscious and velvety, it was enjoyable until the very end. I still dream of it to this day. The waiter also told me that the desserts are all made by a local woman who comes in and makes them fresh, which is always a huge plus in my book!
If you're in the area, definitely check this place out. Their clam chowder and desserts are absolutely killer. I only wish we went to this place sooner instead of on our last night. - 3 days ago

We stayed in Waikoloa, but we drove down to Kona for dinner and made a reservation at the Fish Hopper. First off the view is beautiful with the sea breeze coming in. Our waiter was so kind and patient. I had one of the specials, it was Mahi Mahi with the amazing red pepper sauce. It was so delicious! My husband had the shrimp trio, but really a duo because they were out of crab meat, but that didn't stop it from being delicious! Thank you for a great meal! - 4 days ago

I walked in Thursday night and they were able to seat me at the bar on a whim.
My appetite returned so I ordered oysters on the half shell (half dozen), pasta isabella, Kona coffee and chocolate cheesecake and a nonalcoholic coconut mojito. All of the items were excellent!
I didn't get my server's name, but she was nice and friendly with me and the other folks at the bar. - 2 weeks ago
