Hardly any tourist while we were here. Surprising because the food is better here than other places. It's clean and the staff was friendly!

It's like the cheesecake factory for Asian/Hawaiian food. Extensive menu, great service. Think I saw a kid in the corner doing their homework.

Kalua pork and cabbage must have been made a week ago...too dry and tasteless to finish more than a bite or two. Left it on the table. Staff was just ok--no greeting, no eye contact, reasonable time in serving.

The teriyaki chicken was really good. The Katsu and coconut shrimp were pretty dry. It was one of the only places open after 8, so still a win.

Came by after we landed around 3pm on a Friday. My partner ordered the Homemade Pork Lau Lau - “it was made with care, not over cooked, moist and seasoned well”. I ordered the pineapple chicken, it was great. Came out some time after his so he was about halfway through his meal ( I encouraged him to eat whole it was hot). I liked that the pineapple chicken wasn’t super sweet! I also ordered the Pink Lemonade, also not too sweet!
We've really good meals at Kauai Diner. They have classic Hawaiian fare and also Japanese and Chinese items on a pretty long menu.
We had dinner twice and tried the katsu salad, curry katsu, mapo tofu, and crispy pork chops. The katsu was crispy and light. They curry is a Japanese classic. The mapo tofu was a bit heavy on the sauce, but it was a nice break from other meats. We got the crispy pork chop which was really tasty. We got it under the snack/appetizer side to share (as an app it doesn't come with rice) and it was the perfect size for us.
Service is really efficient and friendly. We were seated quickly and the orders come out quickly as well.
We came for breakfast on the way to the airport. I got the Filipino scramble with eggs scrambled with onions and tomatoes and longanisa sausage and my husband got the ube pancakes with gotenberg sausage. The ube pancakes were delicious! The sauce that came with it has a nice ube and coconut milk flavor that is not too sweet. That sauce is also great for dipping toast. My scramble was fine. I did not care for the longanisa sausage, but I've not had it before.
All in all, we'd definitely recommend Kauai Diner. It's open late for Hawaiian restaurants and there's plenty of parking. We saw many local families dine here, so you know it's good.

We enjoyed an evening meal on the way to the airport. The garlic pork chop was as mentioned (in the reviews) and was top notch. The dinner salad, however, seemed a bit weak and worn, the veggies might have froze in the cooler at one point? The flavors, including the salad dressing, otherwise, were excellent. The service was very attentive. Dinner was mostly locals and us two tourists.
