Makai Plantation

Waiting on your flight back to mainland and want to fill up before the long flight? Come here!!The service is fantasic!! The food is really good! Lots of screens to view sports! I had the burger and it was exceptionally good!! I must have drank a gallon of tea. Another plus is they have a market to pack your bags for in flight meals. We purchased drinks, food, and snacks.

Makai Plantation at Honolulu Airport turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The food was good, offering a range of tasty options that didn't disappoint. Prices were decent, especially considering the airport location. The atmosphere was particularly impressive--inviting and surprisingly tranquil, despite the constant flow of travelers around.The service started off great, with our server being attentive and friendly. However, once our food was delivered, it seemed like we were forgotten. It took quite a while to get her attention for water refills and to receive our check, which was a bit frustrating.Despite this minor hiccup, I would still recommend Makai Plantation. It's a convenient and enjoyable dining option within the airport, perfect for a satisfying meal before a flight. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait if the service slows down. Overall, a solid choice for airport dining!

Hangry mode...Don't arrive hungry as if your gate is in Terminal 1 in the deep distance of Gate C this is your last option if you passed all the others.Makai Plantation is a love restaurant with lots of seating along with a beautiful bar but as we were deciding not about the food on the flight but the midnight arrival that'll give us no time for a meal.Looking at their menu there wasn't any prices...scary! Decided to walk back to the grab and go area with display cases with slider sandwiches and some racks with snacks all don't have any prices besides the warmer filled with lunch items like loco Moco $19.99, Spam Musubi $4.99 already has me losing my appetite decided to grab a bag of chips which turns out to be $4.99 as well lol! Omg at least I get to graze but lesson learned to have some snacks.Have a safe flight!

Let's start with the positives. We were looking for a place where we could plug our phones in (we have a mid-afternoon flight out) and watch some college football...we got that (ish...it's the Sportsmix so it shows highlights of pretty much everything playing at the moment, no particular game). Our server was excellent; very attentive and we didn't have to wait for anything. That said, the food was just meh. I had the Uncle's BBQ pork sandwich and when I cut into it, juice poured out. So much that it's obvious it was frozen meat, not fresh. The sandwich was not hot and the BBQ was good, but a commercial brand you can get at your local grocery store; all of the juice that poured out made the bun soggy and got all over the fries, as well. The fries were hot and crispy but your run of the mill store bought frozen fries. So it was just okay.

9/11 Wednesday 12:30pm Party of 2. Had lunch before our flight. The restaurant is open seating with a QR code for ordering. However, the QR code was working for us so they manually took our order. Service was good and food was average. We had the Loco Moco and Grilled Mahi Mahi. The Mahi Mahi was a little fishy. Liked the pickled ginger and veggies on top. Loco Moco was ok but the Mac salad was not flavorful.

With layover in Honolulu airport, this was the only restaurant I could find with good seafood/fish options in the menu. Came in to check the place out and ordered the grilled mahi mahi, for $25 I was very happy with my lunch! It was a decent meal for the price esp when you're in the airport.They have a bar and have standard dining tables. It's also near Starbucks if you wanna grab a drink before walking back to your boarding gate.

Absolutely terrible experience. Service was really bad....had to flag the server down to even get a water, then again to order. He was abrupt and disinterested. He was rushed and not friendly. Food was just OK. Ok enough to eat, as there was no other option at the airport at that time. Paid the bill and left a very small tip (indicative of the service). Maddening. It was the end of our vacation, and the worst experience of the week.

Amazing tasty food with very friendly warm customer service. Best place to eat breakfast at the airport.

We were delayed at the airport 2x at the time and decided to get some food and drinks. We decided to try this spot out.Once you get there, you seat yourself to any open table. The server came to our table immediately and gave us some menus. Our server had a great friendly personality and made some jokes. She checked on us often although there were many other patrons dining. She was awesome!We ordered the seared ahi salad and the char sui chicken sandwich. The salad was good although I'm not a big fan of purple lettuce so a lot of it was tossed because it was wilted. The ahi was not bad. One piece was a little tough but overall, the salad was tasty. The dressing that they used was similar to a sweet chili but not thick which was good. The char sui chicken sandwich was good and came with regular or seasoned fries. The chicken was cooked well and had a great char sui flavor. The bread was soft and topped with some carrots and cilantro.The food came out very quickly and our server was on point. We would return here again for dining.

Really great food for the airport! Lisa provided wonder woman service and the view of Honolulu from the window seat was a cool way to say aloha to Oahu! Mahi Mahi bowl, Ahi salad, steak Caesar salad and Bahn Mi were delicious! Drinks relaxed us for the long flight out!
