Pineapple's Island Fresh Cuisine - Hilo

I got the pumpkin curry with extra veg instead of tofu it was good.

I got the pumpkin curry from the vegan menu, which was vegan and gluten free. The local tofu was so good!

Nice vibe, friendly staff. Vegan options limited and a bit pricey, but it’s good for one visit. Didn’t try the cocktails, can’t speak to those, but the red ale I got was very smooth.

Pineapples has a nice ambiance. It’s open air and just feels like a nice place to chill and have some cocktails. They have a separate vegan menu which I thought was pretty cool. The curry is pretty decent, and so is the stir fry. The drinks are strong. It’s not super exciting, but if you have people visiting and want a pretty casual place to hang out with them where you know there will be clearly marked vegan options, I’d say it’s a good choice.

Went back again and it was horrible. Quality has gone down down down. I would give it 3 stars for lack of interesting options and 4 stars for making an effort. Ask for vegan menu. See recent photo of menu. Most offerings were standard (stir fry, portobello mushroom sandwich) but the Kabocha Pumpkin Curry was outstanding. Updated from previous review on 2022 01 07
