Kay's Kitchen

4.5(11 reviews)

About

On Hawaii (Big Island), Kay's Kitchen occupies 78-6831 Mamalahoa Hwy, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740, United States, along the highway that threads through the Kona district. What it is known for is a small-scale kitchen with a devoted following rather than a large operation, and first-time visitors should expect a modest setting where the cooking carries the reputation. The review base is compact, which suits a place that has built its name quietly.

A 4.5 out of 5 average from 11 reviews reflects a small but positive sample of customer feedback. Reaching it from the main resorts and towns is straightforward by car, since Kailua-Kona, Hilo, Volcano, Waimea, the Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook and Kona all lie within the island's road network. The highway address places it on the Kona side, within easy reach of the coast.

Kailua-Kona sits on the leeward side of the island, where conditions are drier than the windward coast. That contrast is a useful thing to know when deciding where to base a stay.

Hawaii's wetter season runs from November to March, with a drier stretch from April to October, and the Kona side tends to stay dry through much of the year. Pidgin, or Hawaiian Creole English, is spoken widely across the islands, so everyday exchanges may sound different from mainland English. Humpback whales migrate to Hawaiian waters to breed between roughly November and May, a seasonal sight off the Kona coast. The islands were an independent kingdom before annexation by the United States in 1898, and became a state in 1959.
