I have been to this place years back and it appears they might have had an ownership change because everything seems to have been renovated and new. Located right across pier 38 on nimitz highway called "Nimitz center" This insides is all new and modern looking. Its airconditioned (of course) with comfortable padded seats and veneer type tables. The insides is airy comfortable and not too loud (Well at least when we was there). The staff or wait help seemed to be seasoned and knew their job well. They were pleasant And accomodating. The menu consist of the usual burgers.. entries..soups salads...etc...prices are manageable and portions are good... A good alternative to gyppies. Go check them out they are a good option read more

How does one screw up Kalbi ribs? Well, New Eagle did. The WORST ribs I've ever had! They were tough as nails and tasted only like ginger. No soy sauce, sugar or sesame oil taste. I could've done a better job with my eyes closed! The waitress had a lot to be desired too. She didn't seem to care about our well being. There were only 3 tables in the restaurant but she couldn't be bothered checking on our dinners or stopping by to see if we needed anything! She was too busy talking story with the kitchen crew! Won't be going back! read more

3.7-3.9 out of 5 Came to this location because it was a family friend's favorite eatery. The environment is retro modern and they even have live band/performances in house. The wait for food is not long at all and they provide large portions for the set price. Fried noodles were definitely a must try. I really enjoyed that dish There is parking within the strip but just use caution when pulling out since the storefront is at the edge where the entrance to the lot is read more

I arrived and was just content with going out to eat for my relatives B-DaY celebration, but I couldn't believe how different the place was with new management. I ordered a sizzling New York Steak plate and was satisfied with how it turned out. The dessert menu was decimated for the day and it was only 3pm-ish. Made up for the last visit here and the Crispy Pork Belly was a disappointment. New management is already ahead of the competition... so far, so good. read more

I've been here at Eagle Cafe many times from the days when my office was above the restaurant around 40 years ago. The restaurant has gone through many owners and transitions through the years. Its current manifestation isn't that great. Willy and I usually rotate between Eagle Cafe and Tanaka Saimin when we are tired of eating hostess bar food. Bar food can be exceptional depending on the kitchen mama, but is way more expensive than at local restaurants. We have been to Eagle Cafe several times in the last six months but this Wednesday night may have been the last time for a while. We got to Eagle Cafe about 8:15 and there were only three other parties there. The restaurant closes at 9:00. They have live music M-F until 8:30. This Wednesday they had a solo guitarist who played covers of popular hits. Nothing wrong with his performance. And Eagle Cafe is one of the only family restaurants that employs locals musicians so that is commendable. The food prices are decent. Willy's sizzling hamburger steak with onions and mushrooms was only $20.99. And my pork chops was only $18.99. My diet soda was $3.50. And the menu selection has most of the typical diner dishes local families enjoy. The service is friendly and efficient. The waitress with the tattoos is very patient. Willy always asks multiple questions about various dishes he never intends to order every time we are there. Maybe she doesn't remember but I do. It can be irritating. The worst part of Eagle is the food. It is hard to screw up rice, which tastes ok, even at the end of the night. And the mac potato salad is pretty good, especially when you add a little salt. But Willy's sizzling hamburger steak was drenched in brown gravy and the mushrooms and onions were sparse. He was not happy with the taste. My pork chops were extremely thin, about 1/4". And deep fried, making them extremely difficult to slice with the cut-rate Chinese steak knife provided. I have the calluses as proof. Anyway, overall just ok but certain dishes are not great. read more

We haven't been here in a while. We decided to stop by here for lunch, because it was on the way. Parking: There is free parking, in the front, back and upstairs of the building. Location: Eagle Cafe is located on the left corner, 1st floor of the complex. Ambiance: It's a casual diner with this bright new feel to it. There are TVs now! Food: They have quite the selection of items. They have something for everyone. I decided to get the vegetable sizzling platter, a kids item for my kiddo and my husband ordered the pork chop. YEARS ago we came and we like the brisket deal, but it was ok. NOW, I was so happy of the flavor from my all vegetable dish. I ate EVERYTHING. It was supposed to be shared. oops. If they can make vegetables take good then daaaang! My husband enjoyed his porkchop and my kiddo loved her pasta. There is a new taste to the menu, which I love! Overall, we enjoyed our lunch! My order was on their daily specials listed, so make sure to check out the specials if you want to try it. read more

Ordered the beef stew plate with Mac salad and French fries, got to have Mac salad with stew. The stew was very flavorful and the meat was cut just right, little larger than bite size. Wife had the adobo fried rice, this is a huge portion, wrapped in egg, so much we had leftovers the next day. The waitress we had was super friendly and made some recommendations. They are located on the opposite end of AAA on Nimitz Hwy. It seems a lot of regulars go there as the wait staff seem to know a lot of them by name/face. They also have live entertainment, not sure on the times. read more

I went to Eagle Cafe the last three Saturdays with my uncle and we enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Service has been consistently good. I tried the prime rib sandwich served with au jus, crispy fried pork belly, and pork chops. The pork was a bit dry for both the pork chops and pork belly but the dipping sauce was good. Portions are generous. The best thing I had was the prime rib sandwich which was fresh and delicious. My uncle tried their pork adobo omelette which was huge, chop steak, and crispy fried pork belly. He agreed that the crispy pork belly was on the dry side. Chop steak was good with a limited amount of vegetables. Omelette was delicious and enough for two meals. We will return. Just wish that they had the lamb curry special on Saturdays. read more

Eagle cafe is a nice local eatery that serves comfort foods. The ambiance is old school like in the 70s. The service was very good. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Chicken Papaya soup - 3.5/5 The broth was good and tasty, but little on the salty side. The chicken consisted of wing flats and drumettes. The grab papaya was tender, not mushy or too firm. Since were arrived around 7:30p, the chicken have been in the soup for hours under heat. This made the chicken a little hard and dry. If the chicken wasn't overcooked, I would give the this dish 4.5/5. Mahi Mahi- 4/5 The Mahi Mahi was very tasty. The fillets were a bit small for our liking. That said, the Mahi Mahi was cooked perfectly. The fillets were tender, not hard and over cooked. Just increase the quantity of Mahi Mahi a little more. I will definitely return. Give Eagle Cafe a try. The good and service is worth a visit. read more

1 star for good service and a big clean place. As for my food, yuck. I got the garlic ahi belly and it was horrible. It definitely was NOT ahi. The fish did not taste good. It had a really fishy taste to it. It was also really white and flakey, Not how I know ahi to be. I could not bring myself to finish it. We also got a saimin for our kids and we found pieces of plastic in it. I'm guessing from the noodle package. I would not recommend this place and we most likely won't be back. read more

On vacation and was tired from eating restaurant food. I wanted something that tasted like home. I ordered the oxtail soup. It was superb. Tasted like home. Tasted like an aunty was back in the kitchen cooking. The soup was clear. Whomever made the soup probably double boiled and stood over the soup to skim the grease from the top of the pot. If the grease is not skim, it will cause stomach aches in is some people after consumption. The chef used fresh Chinese mustard greens with whole shiitake mushrooms, sprinkle of cilantro, and a few peanuts. The peanuts were not overpowering but just enough for taste. So delicious that I asked the waitress to bring a side of rice in a bowl so that my daughter may have a taste of the soup. read more

If you're looking for an authentic local spot that delivers on both flavor and hospitality, Eagle Cafe should be at the top of your list. I finally made it in after hearing great things from friends and neighbors--and now I understand the hype. This place is the real deal. Let's talk about the prime rib. I ordered it medium rare, and it was very good--tender and flavorful, with a nice herb crust on the outside. It wasn't overly fancy, but definitely satisfying and cooked just right. It came with a rich au jus and a side of horseradish cream that added a nice kick without overpowering the beef. I also tried the loco moco, and it was fantastic--comforting, hearty, and just the kind of satisfying local dish you want when you're craving something filling and flavorful. Service was outstanding from start to finish. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we enjoyed everything. The place had a steady flow of people coming in--clearly a local favorite--but the staff stayed on top of everything without making us feel rushed. The atmosphere at Eagle Cafe is cozy and casual, the kind of place where you feel instantly comfortable. There's nothing flashy or over-the-top about it, and that's exactly what makes it so charming. Just good food, good people, and a strong sense of community. It's rare to find a place that nails quality, service, and vibe all at once, but Eagle Cafe pulls it off effortlessly. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty dinner like the prime rib or something lighter like the loco moco, you really can't go wrong here. Already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Please don't let these photos deceive you. They look good, but in reality they weren't good at all. Here's the reasons: Hamburger steaks were hard and difficult to cut with my fork. Never had a hamburger patty that I couldn't cut with my fork. It should've been soft and tender. But it was tough. Tough to cut and tough to chew. Gravy was salty. Onions were scant, just a tiny bit on the plate along with the mushrooms. Kalbi ribs were tough. My husband had difficulty getting the meat off the bones. The rice. OMG who serves rice that's been sitting out, cold, dry and hard!!! Seriously being honest here. There were rice grains that were dried and hard. Biting into them was very unpleasant. Rice should be served hot and fresh out of the pot, instead we got cold hard rice that's probably been sitting in an opened rice cooker. We tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. We haven't been there in months since our last experience was also pretty bad. Sorry to say that we won't be going back to Eagle cafe. If they don't take pride in the quality of their food and keep serving rubbery hamburger patties and tough to eat kalbi ribs we're not getting the quality that we paid for. Over $20 for that Hamburger Steak and over $25 for that Kalbi plate. Not worth what we paid. read more

Located on Nimitz, Eagle Cafe has been here for many years. I believe they just changed ownership not too long ago. PARKING Not really an issue here. They have a decent sized 2 floor parking lot. Some of the parking spaces are a little tight. Also l, be sure you park in customer stated stalls. RESTAURANT Very clean and the lots of tables. Kitchen is in view and you can clearly see all the cooks working and the food coming out. For me that's a plus. Bathrooms are a little out dated but fairly clean. The waitress that served us was nice and attentive. However, they can get chatty with one another sometimes and speak Korean instead of English which I feel is a no no. FOOD Food came out nice and hot. You can tell the food was made to order. Adobo Omelette was well seasoned and the portion was huge. Loco Moco I thought was not bad. Patty could've used a little more flavor, but I enjoyed the gravy. I feel that there's a lot of repeat customers that come here. Price reasonably right. Will come back here to try out the dinner menu. read more

This place used to be New Eagle Cafe now its Eagle Cafe with new owners I read and they renovated the business. Restaurant looks nice and new! I have to admit the new owners did a fantastic job, modern feel when dining here. The menu is revised too and everything sounds great, the few times I dined here under Eagle Cafe, I always have a hard time deciding on what to order. We dined here after our trip, super hungry from our flight and I am so glad I decided upon Eagle Cafe. Lately my favorite is the saimin with add in 6 piece gyoza for additional $4. I love the cilantro taste from gyoza. Besides the club sandwich w/avocado that is my other favorite. I have to say with the new cook, I can really taste the difference. Lets just say I go here for my saimin fix ( if no Kauai visit for awhile) I love the noods which is nice and firm, the broth is not the dashi broth, taste like its a mixture of bone broth and dashi and not as salty. ( I could be wrong) I really enjoy eating the saimin here. I will have to wait for my brother who is a saimin fanatic to give me his input, hehe. For the husband he likes the chicken papaya soup with marunguay leaves but last visit they ran out of this, the only thing the soup is good but it is on the pricey side for soup. It sure hits the spot if you are too lazy to cook it on your own. This visit I ordered the mahi mahi with capers for the other half and he enjoyed it. He seems to enjoy all the food that we had here so far. The service is great, servers are friendly! There is music here on the weekends. Happy Hour starts 3-6 daily. Plenty parking but it can filled up pretty quick. Save room for pumpkin crunch! I really wanted to but was super stuffed. Check out them out, big difference/change than before. Recommend. read more

We had a nice dinner with friends last night. They had a musician playing guitar and singing a good selecting of songs. The service was friendly and quick. It wasn't very crowded for Thursday night at 6:30. My husband enjoyed the Lamb Curry. My friends had the Adobo and the spaghetti. I tried a little of the Adobe sauce and found it wasn't too vinegary. I liked it. I was told that the spaghetti was on the sweet side. I had the Chopped steak. I like the mix of vegetables and the tender meat. This time the assortment of vegetables was broccoli, cauliflower, onion and mushrooms. (If you look at my last review, the photo showed more carrots and bell peppers. ) We all had doggie bags to go. (We're seniors.) I had to save room for dessert. I usually have the pumpkin crunch. This time I had the peach pie. (Sorry, no ice cream.) read more
