The service was great, the lady ringing me up was really friendly.
The atmosphere for being inside an airport was welcoming and nice.
The food was awful though. I understand the prices are high in the airport and in Hawaii, but I had much better Hawaiian food all over the 4 islands during my stay. I ordered the Pork Lau Lau and it was flavorless and came out about 1 minute after I ordered it, for $25 I would have hoped it would have been freshly cooked or tasted...read full review

It’s a basic convience store in the Kauai airport. Good for basic food and beverage. The Cuban sandwich was actually pretty good!
A nice place to refuel but nothing fancy!

Ai Ono Cafe offers authentic local food that tastes fresh and homemade. The mole with egg, rice, beef, and sauce is a standout dish, with rice that is freshly made. The Loco Moco and teriyaki burger are highly recommended, surpassing other airport food options. The chicken katsu plate is crispy and flavorful, served with rice, Hawaiian mac salad, and delicious katsu sauce. This cafe is located inside Lihue Airport. The roast pork loco moco is a generous portion, though the pork was slightly dry. The shrimp and katsu chicken are recommended dishes, while the teriyaki chicken is good but a bit dry. Prices are on the higher side, with plates around $20 and expensive beer. Overall, Ai Ono Cafe provides a solid dining option for airport travelers, offering a taste of local Hawaiian cuisine.
