The Hawaiian Islands are home to countless incredible restaurants, many of which are found in the islands’ capital city and other large towns. But that doesn’t mean that the lesser-known restaurants found way out in the Hawaiian countryside are any less delicious. In fact, there’s one little eatery found off the beaten path that might just serve the best food you’ve tried in ages. Located in the southernmost town in the United States
— Na’alehu — is Hana Hou Restaurant, a country restaurant that’s too often overlooked… until now, that is.
