DO NOT EAT HERE! Absolute filth all over the restaurant. Rude, slow service. Garbage on floors. Dirty tables. General uncleanliness.

$15 for a cold, pre-packaged turkey sandwich that may not have been held at correct temperature. The Health Department should do an IMMEDIATE food service inspection.

Eat before you come to this airport!!! They don’t care about your business. The service is walk-up, and then you seat yourself. When you pay at the register, they have the nerve to have you sign a receipt asking for a tip.

Not only was it $15 for a prepared cold sandwich served in a plastic clamshell, but the prices for many of the menu items were out-of-this-world expensive, even for it being Hawaii and even for it being an airport in Hawaii. Some examples include $25 for a frozen beef patty warmed on the flat top grill. $30 for a poke bowl. $5 for a soft drink in a plastic bottle.

This is price-gouging make no bones about it. The Hawaiian Attorney General or Health Department should shutter this business immediately.

It was ok, just several items all seem to taste the exact same, not making it there own flavor.

Ordered the catch of the day, in this case, Ahi Fish tacos and Ahi fish and chips. We had a choice of Ahi or Ono. I would have liked to try the Ono as the Ahi was a little too heavy. Otherwise, the crust was crunchy and the fish was meaty and generous and tasted good.

Ate out on the patio and enjoyed a nice breeze.

Very good food, especially for airport food! We got the garlic furikake chicken, and the loco moco, and both were very good. Both were very flavorful and had big portions!

And the staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. Really, there were no complaints!! Also, note that they do have grab and go foods in a fridge on the side, which you can't see right away.

It's probably better to eat before getting to the airport... The food here was pretty bad. I had the furikake chicken and it was extremely oily and fatty to the point I felt sick of eating it ?

Being a “monopoly” at the airport, I guess good food doesn’t have to come with good service or a smile. The heat must be getting to them. The food is amazing though. Stop by, it’s worth it for the AC & grub. $100 for three people.

Great local food at plane. Enjoyed great poke spicy, garlic chicken and katsu. And the fries were thick and curly/ wish I could have brought some home!

I don’t like high top seating but it was limited

Disappointing End to a Perfect Trip

We came to Umekes on a Sunday, excited to enjoy a meal, despite the hour-long wait. However, our experience was completely ruined by the two ladies working there. Their rudeness and inconsideration were shocking, especially in front of my little girls. The tone they used was far from the Aloha spirit you'd expect in Hawaii—practically yelling at customers. My 6-year-old even said she didn't want to eat there because the atmosphere was so terrible. It's sad to write this review because I love the Umekes restaurant in Kona, but this airport location is a huge disappointment. A place that should embody warmth and hospitality did just the opposite.
