Description: Named after the famous all-Japanese fighting battalion that even predated the famous "442,", the Cafe 100 is a Hilo landmark. The Miyashiro family has been serving food at their indoor-outdoor restaurant here since the late '50's. Cafe 100 is famous for its loco moco, a local concoction of a hamburger patty and egg that is served atop rice smothered in brown gravy. They serve the regular loco moco, the teriyaki loco, the sukiyaki loco, the hot dog loco, the oyako loco, and for the health-conscious, the mahi loco (most loco mocos are under $5.00). Breakfast choices include everything from bacon and eggs to coffee and donuts, while lunches feature beef stew, mixed plate, fried chicken (most plate lunches are between $6.00 - $8.00), and an assortment of sandwiches from teri beef to a good old BLT. If you are health conscious I wouldn't recommend eating here because a lot of the food on the menu is high in calories and cholesterol. But if you are looking for an affordable place to eat fast food (and a lot of it), then I would recommend dining at this local joint. The service is fast and the dining area is usually kept clean. Cafe 100 is open from Sun-Thurs 6:00am - 8:30pm, Fri 6:00am - 9:30pm, and Sat 6:00am - 9:30pm. To get to this fast food restaurant, drive south on Kilauea Avenue from Waianuenue Avenue. Keep driving until you pass the large banyan tree on your left. It is located between Kekuanaoa Street and Aupuni Street.
