About Umeke's

Umeke's at KOA airport is the only dining option at Gate 1, offering a variety of dishes like poke nachos and grilled fish plates. The spicy ahi poke was noted for its generous portion, although some found it a bit heavy on mayo. The grilled fish plate was flavorful, served with rice and macaroni salad. Customers praised the fresh, hot food made to order. The atmosphere is casual, clean, and air-conditioned, providing a pleasant dining experience. Umeke's now opens early, serving breakfast and desserts. The Ahi Fish tacos and Ahi fish and chips were well-received, featuring a crunchy crust and generous fish portions. The garlic furikake chicken and loco moco were also highlighted as very good, flavorful, and served in big portions. The staff is friendly, and food comes out quickly. While there are some vegetarian options, the place is also suitable for kids, with no stairs. Notably, customers enjoyed the thick cut fries and found the smoked pork with cabbage better than expected. Although some reviews mentioned a preference for different fry styles, the unique bowl fries were appreciated by others. With lots of outdoor seating under umbrellas and an air-conditioned café inside, Umeke's is a convenient and enjoyable choice for travelers.
