    Pancakes
    Michelle S.

    We came here for breakfast. It was an early morning so it wasn't that busy. Which is great! Our waitress got us seated and served right away. We shared whole wheat toast, bacon and pancakes. The ambiance was okay it's an airport dining area. So it was okay. You can also use the QR code for you to order your meals. But we chose to have the waitress. It mashed it more personable.

    Veggie spring rolls
    Terry K.

    4th star for the comaradarrie oppotunity. It's an establishment in the airport. What can I say? I was impressed though with their friend noodles. Tasted good (very little if any MSG) and the spring rolls were pretty tasty as well. Side bar- didn't have any burger there but I saw a burger order pass our table and it looked pretty darn good If you find yourself in the HNL and you are meeting folk or hungry; then you want to stop in at Stinger Ray's Located in the concourse between Terminal 1 and on the way to Terminal 2. If you pass Starbucks' you've gone too far

    Crispy Chicken BLT
    Lyle S.

    I stopped by Stinger Ray's for a quick lunch before boarding my flight. I got the Crispy Chicken BLT. The service was pretty quick when I ordered, but I did sit down around 10:30a. It did start to get a little more crowded when I was leaving. The sandwich was great! The chicken wasn't oily or dry and the fries were nice and crispy. Stinger Ray's is a nice place for a quick meal before a flight.

    Kalua Pig Nachos
    Shalamar P.

    We stopped in here since we got to the airport early, and it was a great choice. Service was quick and our server was super friendly. The food was good-- I got the Kalua Pig Nachos (just an appetizer) but they gave a lot! Really tasty. I'd definitely eat here again and recommend giving it a try.

    The best thing they have is the Kalbi Short Ribs. Basically a Hawaiian plate lunch. It was pretty good.

    The best thing they have is the Kalbi Short Ribs. Basically a Hawaiian plate lunch. It was pretty good. The Fried Noodles were flavorless. The Blue Moon beer tasted stale because they need to clean the lines.

    Nice to see Terry K.

    We received good and fast service here. The dishes are okay compared to all the airport restaurants I have tried before. We have the last table near the entrance. But the other part of the dining room looks very comfortable. I enjoyed my lunch here.

    We had a long layover so we decided to get some lunch. We were able to sit anywhere, service very nice. Cute ambiance for Christmas, clean. Wait wasn't too long, big portion for the Kalbi. Food was yummy, but definitely paying Hawaii airport food pricey. Kalbi was 29.99, Mac salad good.

    What's up Yelpies You and I know what to expect from airport food at least until you eat here. The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. If you just landed and are not sure what to eat then stop off here and you won't be disappointed.

    We needed to buy time, we landed about 2 hours before our son. We decided to eat here while we wait for him. Food: we had a sandwich, poke nachos and French fries. The food is pretty good, just ridiculously priced but we were not surprised- it's the airport Ambiance- it's pretty loud and busy. It's conveniently placed for people traveling and wanting a quick meal.

    When you're at the airport, and just waiting for a flight, you want service to be quick and they delivered. This is a great flight to just grab a bite and drink while waiting.

    Spicy Poke Nachos, Shishito peppers, and island Caesar.
    Cyanne B.

    Usually food in airport is overpriced. However, Stinger Ray's provided huge serving sizes for their portions. I ordered the poke nachos, the Caesar salad with mahi, and shishito peppers. We came during the afternoon and found Joann the waitress to be wonderful, and very attentive. Will definitely come back when flying thru.

    Aloha Hop Lei IPA

    Service was ok, not overly friendly, but fast and they checked in frequently as drinks emptied. You'll get a beer for a painful $14 plus tip, but I guess that's a regular price for it at airports. The mixed drinks and food menu don't even show the prices, so you know it's pricey. The napkins they put under your beer immediately disintegrate and leave a mushy mess on the bar. Just get some coasters! For food you're better off going next door to a well-known burger joint. And for a more fun bar experience, go to the little pop-up one by gate A7 in the newer terminal part.

    Their menu.

    I arrived in Terminal 1 and had about 25 minutes after arriving before my connecting flight started boarding. I asked the host at the entrance if their service was fast, and he said, "absolutely, very fast." I was starving, so took the chance. I ordered a 20 oz. beer--they didn't have much in the way of smaller options, which was annoying--and their 3 kalua pork tacos. The beer arrived instantly. The food arrived about 10 minutes later, but still plenty of time to enjoy it before I had to run. Not the best pulled pork tacos I've ever had, but certainly edible and enjoyable. Their service allowed paying through my phone which made turnaround even faster. So, if you're in Terminal 1 of the HNL airport, are hungry or thirsty, and have only a limited window to grab something, consider Stinger Ray's.

My father and brother are both military veterans and enjoyed the fact that this venue was situated at a golf course they patronized before. We all ordered drinks--I ordered a bottle of wine, taking advantage of the Half-off Wine Wednesdays; some tried the alcohol specials and others simply elected to have soda. I ordered a few appetizers for the table and those went quickly: calamari, bruschetta, and artichoke dip. Yum! Main entrees followed and everyone seemed to enjoy their selections. We ordered dessert and were disappointed that they ran out of creme brulee...my father ordered the cheesecake and thoroughly enjoyed it. My only reason for not giving five stars has to do with the outdoor seating. I wish the chairs were more comfortable, as we sat there for awhile, waiting for our server to take our large group order along with waiting for food to come out. There is adequate parking and the restrooms are clean and accessible. An elevator is located in the lobby for those who are not able to easily climb the flight of stairs to the venue.

Food was okay but the view and ambience were nice, especially at Christmas at Night! It's a huge restaurant with seating for parties with a lot of free parking shared with the golfers at the golf course. Indoor and outdoor seating. The last time, my friends weren't too impressed, but we did try variety of dishes from pizza, salad, pasta and appetizers. They have some specials from time to time. So sad that tomorrow is their last day of business according to my friend. Sad to see many restaurants are closing soon.

    Happy Hour in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. We were nearby and decided to give Shark's Den Bar and Grill a try. It's quite spacious, clean, and pleasantly decorated (with many bunnies)! Located in the Airport Honolulu Hotel, customers get 4 hours of validated parking! Service was very friendly and welcoming! We were allowed to sit anywhere, so we were near to the pool, but could still feel some air-conditioning. We should have stayed away from the open-air side of the restaurant to possibly avoid the flies. We enjoyed being served by Rosie, the robot! Since we were there during Happy Hour (between 2pm and 5pm), we shared one of each item: a flatbread pizza (truffle and Hamakua mushroom), hamburger (shortrib and chuck blend) with fries, and a Trio of Tacos (chicken, pork, and braised short ribs). I liked the fries and the flatbread pizza the most. The breakfast buffet looks interesting. We should return for it some day...

    POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE/STALE FOOD/DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS VETERANS…read more On 7/30/2026, I ate at Shark's Den Bar & Grill because my flight was delayed and by the time I checked into the Airport Honolulu Hotel it was already close to 8:00 p.m. I was scheduled for surgery at Tripler Army Medical Center the next morning and had been instructed to stop eating at 9:00 p.m., so I didn't have time to look for another restaurant. As advertised by the business, the restaurant is "located in the Honolulu Airport Hotel." Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. After being seated, a couple who arrived after me were greeted and had their orders taken before anyone acknowledged me. It wasn't a great first impression. I ordered the loco moco and requested the eggs be cooked over easy. The server then asked how I wanted my hamburger patty cooked, which caught me off guard. I've ordered loco moco many times over the years and had never been asked that before. Seeing my confusion, the server suggested serving the burger medium then I agreed. When my meal arrived it was around 830pm and the eggs were cooked medium instead of over easy. The bigger issue, however, was the rice. The texture was very inconsistent...some bites were stale and crunchy, others were chewy, and some grains even stuck to my teeth. It gave the impression that the rice wasn't freshly prepared. Given the restaurant's convenient location for airport travelers, I was hoping for a quick, satisfying meal before my surgery. Unfortunately, the questionable service and disappointing food quality made for a less-than-ideal dining experience. I hope they can improve both their service and consistency in the kitchen. This restaurant also advertises having "live music", but on the Thursday night I was there, they had karaoke. Restaurants should not advertise karaoke as "live music" because the terms describe two entirely different customer experiences. Update (7/31/2026): After posting this review, the server, Rutilio A., sent a "compliment" to me, here on Yelp, stating: "Questionable service??? (3 laughing emojis) bless your little heart. Please note that unless you are ordering loco moco out of a truck most RESTAURANT that don't serve frozen patties will give you the option on how you would like it cooked. Can't wait to see your review of your surgery. (Thumbs up emoji)" Rutilio's comment to me actually reinforces why I described the service as "questionable." Customer service doesn't end when the check is paid...it also includes how a business and its employees respond to customer feedback. Rather than addressing my concerns about the flawed rice or how customers who arrived after me were greeted and had their orders taken before me, he chose to mock me with laughing emojis, a condescending "bless your little heart," and a sarcastic comment about my surgery. That isn't the response most customers would expect from someone representing a restaurant. His comment became additional evidence supporting my original observation and demonstrated the same lack of professionalism and customer care that led me to describe the service as questionable in the first place. I originally gave this restaurant a 2-star rating, but after the server Rutilio A (using the alias Tillo A.) personally attacked me with his "compliment" here on Yelp, I now give this restaurant a 1-star rating.

Wife got the Caesar salad with char siu chicken katsu. The chicken was ono but the salad was lazy. Basic greens with a low-quality bottled sauce squeezed on top. No wonder it came out five minutes before mine. I got the fish tacos with tots (extra $2), and this dish was the most egregious rip off I've ever seen in a restaurant. No wonder the server dropped it and ran. For $18, I got three street taco-sized flour tortillas, goopy mayo-laden "slaw", and pico with a teeny tiny piece of fish on top. See the pics! Smaller than my thumb. Barely two tater tots in size. And because it was plopped into mayo slaw, it was soggy on arrival. The fish was also suspiciously fishy tasting. I debated eating it. I ended up making one taco with all the fish and a potato taco with some tots before finally giving up. I know things are tough for restaurants right now. But this was ridiculous. I paid and left and called it a lesson learned. I'll likely stick to the Pucks Alley location from now on. Still some pride in what they serve there.
