Ai Ono Cafe

Given that it's airport food in Kauai, the price for what you get is typical. The teriyaki chicken plate was great - comes with Mac salad and rice. The Katsu was good.

If you are just looking for a coffee shop "near" airport, this isn't the one to wait in if you are picking up someone from the airport. Silly me didn't realize you have to go through airport security for this cafe.

Got a nice bout of food poisoning from eating here yesterday. Had the pork loco moco. The meat was 80% fat so we skipped eating most of it and only ate the rice and gravy. Still got sick. Save your $18 and your stomach. Don’t go here.

The person taking the order was rude and arrogant, could not even take a simple order accurately.
The food is okay.
The only reason this place is in business is because it is inside the airport and there aren’t many options inside the airport.

Good selection of food choices. Can get food to go or dine in. Quick service, large portion sizes. Located just beyond the security check point.

Five Stars for the large number of charging stations (power outlets). Hint, they are along the window facing the runway.

Very good Katsu, exceeded my expectations for small airport food. Fast service. Yeah it cost $16 but given the location it’s fair.

From our experience from their menu items, it’s a decent flavor but pricey for low quality food. The Local Moco beef tastes like a reheated burger pattie that’s stiff and not juicy. McDonalds version of Hawaiian food. There’s a lot of options for prepackaged food so I’d suggest buying that if you choose to eat at the airport.

It’s nice that this place is past the security checkpoint, allowing you to take your bottled liquids in the flight with you. Expensive prices for water and other drinks. Line was pretty long and not service wasn’t breaking any speed records.

There are places to sit down and the air conditioning was nice as well. Not a terrible little place to burn some time.

WARNING: OVERPRICED. (They don't show prices on the menus) We ordered a Crusty Chicken sandwich and a House Burger. It came to $32. Crusty chicken sandwich was good. The house burger tastes like Spam mixed with fish oils. Lol. Aloha!
