The experience

What to expect when you drop by.

Guests eating at wooden tables inside Mohala's, surrounded by nautical decor and warm light.

A counter, a few seats, salt air

Weathered wood, boat propellers on the wall and the bay right across the street. Pull up one of our handful of seats and watch the waterfront go by while your basket comes out of the fryer.

Takeout & “Mo’s To Go”

Everything travels well. Order at the counter or online, and your seafood is boxed fresh and ready to grab. Ideal for a beach day, a boat, or dinner back at the house.

Back to the little counter we started with

We have gone back to how we began over a decade ago: a small takeout counter doing one thing well. It is easygoing, family-friendly and local, the kind of spot Hilo keeps coming back to for the fish.

Getting here

Down on the water, easy to reach.

We sit along the bayfront in downtown Hilo, a short stroll from the shops and eateries in the historic district near Maui Brewing Co. Street parking runs along the waterfront, with public lots close by when the block out front fills up. When in doubt, aim for the bay and follow the "Mo's To Go" sign.
