Kailua-Kona
Fumi's was founded by members of the family that runs Teshima's, and they bring a similar high level of home-cooked fare to hungry diners. The menu dips into Japan and Korea: you can find sukiyaki (hot pot), garlic shrimp rolled in panko crumbs, yakitori (skewers) and a decadent ribeye marinated in kalbi sauce. The bar is open until midnight.
The restaurant is located in the rear of a shopping center, near a public parking area.
