A bunch of the reviews I saw were complaining about how expensive the beer is and plates being 20 bucks…womp womp maybe sober up and grab yourself a diet Dr Pepper. Look, coming from a half pinto bean boy Mexican man who has been cultured by the fellow Hawaiians this place is good. For the plates I recommend either the shrimp (it’s fresh) or the Katsu chicken. My lil Bro even said it’s the top 3 foods he has had this trip..idk abt that but for airport food it’s pretty good. You get meat, rice and some mac salad. Teryaki chicken was good too just a tad bit try but overall bussin. Stay breezy out there steezys

Standard cafeteria style airport eatery, but the veggie burger was surprisingly juicy and the fries tasty

We had a 10am flight out of Lihue and the only two food options open were Starbucks and Ai Ono. We chose Ai Ono and went with the Local Boys breakfast. They were out of Portuguese sausage, so we had it with bacon instead. Overall, it was a solid choice—tasty, filling, and gave me the protein I needed before a long Southwest flight (where only snacks are offered).
Like most airports, drinks are pricey—$7 for a Smartwater isn’t fun, but that seems to be the norm everywhere.
All in all, I was happy with the breakfast and glad we skipped the Starbucks line. Ai Ono is a good option if you want something more substantial before your flight.

Worst teriyaki beef I ever had. Sauce made from powder. It is a shame to pay $18 a plate for such a terrible meal. Unfortunately my husband had the same. TOO much mayo for mac salad. We live on Kauai and know it could be betta

Stopped for breakfast after security. Quick service, got food in 5 minutes after ordering. I had local boy breakfast which had generous portions of scrambled eggs, fried rice and 2 pork patties.

This is inside the Lihue Airport. We were early for our flight so we dined here for lunch. The prices were competitive to the prices around the island for similar plates. We liked our orders and we bought spam musubi to eat on the plane. Staff were friendly, service was fast and efficient and place was clean.
Food was just Ok but staff and service was just about as bad as I’ve ever experienced at an airports. Poorly managed and staffed by people that don’t care or understand customer service.
You have to really try to make food this bland. Get the cheapest thing on the expensive menu because it doesn’t get better the more you pay.

No prices listed anywhere, so you either have to ask for every item or be shocked at checkout. A small can of beer costs $11! Ridiculously expensive for what you get. Wouldn’t recommend.

$10.50 for a 12 Oz bottle of Corona and the same for a can of pinapple & Vodka, add $9 for a bowl of Portuguese Soup and $17 for a Caprese Sandwich, add tax and you got a total of $49. One last kick in my financial butt while waiting for a redeye flight at Kaua'i airport.
