5 Spice

My go-to bento shop! Especially for fishing or hunting! I've ordered a lot of stuff on the menu and everything so far was above average! They have drinks but I think it's mostly canned/bottled, and this place doubles as a local chinese snack/treats shop! Bonus! Like any other Chinese take-out place; this place also PACKS their containers, so much so that I'd say it can serve as a good meal for a local Hawaiian braddah or for others like me; 2 meals. Average $10+/person, and they have small and large sized bentos! Very friendly and engaging staff! One of them even complemented my car! Automatic +1 star! If I could give 6 stars I would😂😂😂 I recommend ordering ahead(30 min in advance at the least) otherwise I'd say wait times could be up to 30 minutes. But in my experience my most recent wait time was 20 minutes for 3 plates when it was busy. And they do take your orders out to your car if you are cautious of covid! To whomever it may concern: I would like to see/recommend opening up a 5 Spice out in Kona/Waikoloa side! I've been working on that side of the island for years now and never heard anyone talking about a "better than average" bento/take-out lunch shop! I know prices for places are crazy high out there now, so maybe sometime in the future! Thank you for all the hard work you and the staff at 5 Spice commit! Please keep it up!😁🙏🤙
