I last reported on the Oki Diner in 2007 as one of our favorites when visiting Kauai annually; five visits to Oki Diner at that point. However, we skipped Oki in 2008 in favor of the Lihue BBQ Inn. We stopped today for breakfast and were pleased that the service is superb, the food is great, and prices are still... more

This was the first restaurant we ate at when we arrived on the island. The chicken special stirfry and coffee were excellent, the teriakyi beef was very good. Breakfast Oki pancakes (served anytime) was $11.95, we thought that was way too expensive. Our lunch (for 2) with coffee-$25 plus tip. We had great service and sat outside on the porch,... more

Don't know why this place wasn't reviewed in the travel guidebooks we used. We heard about it on KVIC, the visitor info channel, and saw ads in the locally produced magazines. By far, the BEST pancakes I have ever had in my life. Order them with bananas baked in and coconut syrup. YUM! My mouth is watering just thinking about... more

So the Oki Diner is not the Pantry in LA or any number of places in other cities. It is an inexpensive and reasonable alternative in an area with few of them. Last time I was at Oki it was located in the building across the highway. The new location has a nice second story porch in the back with... more

Ate there serveral times. It's open late, so a good choice when options are limited. Right at the top of Rice St. Easy to find. Park in back. A bigger than average menu. Nice decor. Pleasant servers. On our server said the new management (it's still in the family and Barbies still there!) is making more of an effort to... more

Our group of five, including a five year old, enjoyed a delicious breakfast. We loved the pancakes, with the coconut and vanilla syrups. Our server was friendly and efficient, offering coffee and water refills. Not terribly expensive by Kauai standards. more

Second time to Lihue and first trip to Oki Diner. About the only place open late on a Sunday night. Neal's Chicken, Loco Moko, and pancakes with coconut syrup were all fantastic. Added to our "must do" list along with Hamura's. more

The Oki Diner was not nearly as great as several locals told us it was. The portion sizes were huge, but the food was just okay. I had pork and my husband had chicken, and we also got an order of pancakes to go to have in the hotel. The price was fair, but so was the food. Also, our... more

I loved the eats at the Oki Diner. I've been to HI 6 times total and Kauai is my favorite island. I am a repeat customer at Oki and would bring all my friends there if the airfare wasn't so expensive from New Jersey! more
