We were very impressed with the chicken curry salad! The staff were helpful and it was a great restaurant to have lunch while spending the day at the Bishop Museum.

Beautiful building, well organized display, giving an appreciation of Hawaiian legacy and colonized history,

Surprisingly solid food here while at Bishop. Got the Kalua pork plate and was good! Pretty affordable prices too. Service was fast. Some indoor and outdoor tables to relax before going back to the museum.

Amazing collection of cultural artifacts from Hawaiin and Polynesian cultures, along with a clear exhibit of the origins of these rich cultures. Hawaii's transition from a Monarchy to statehood is explained. Also science and discovery for kids. Well done!

This is premade convenience food, so some menu items may not be available later in the day. The plantation ice tea is refreshing, and the servers were friendly.

At least they have food here. But I suggest bringing your lunch

I was glad to have a good lunch spot available at the museum!! Good food!Kid-friendliness: Easily accommodates families with children.

Under the category of better than it looks. . . . My work friends and I had a very quick lunch here. The $5 hot dog was pretty big, ham on croissant with real slices of ham and everyone thought the kalua pork was very good.
The food was better than we expected!! We spent the day visiting the museum before our flight home and stopped in for a quick bite. We ordered the kalua pork and beef stew. Delicious! We also had the strawberry guava sorbet afterwards. Wish we took some photos but we were too hungry .

A small cafeteria, which really shows it’s age. It doesn’t seem well cared for at all. The air conditioning is broken and there’s just one fan blowing around the entire room. The food is severely overpriced. The attached photo shows the meal I paid $12.95 for. The pork was fine, but nothing on this plate was worth $12.95. As another reviewer stated: the “jumbo” hot dog is just a regular hot dog with packet ketchup.The soda fountain is broken, so you have to pay for small canned beverages. An entire section of seating is closed off. Most guests try to sit out on the patio, but it’s very limited space.Do not eat here if you have a choice. You can leave the museum, eat at any other eatery nearby, and return to the museum after.

Had the spam musubi and partner had the pig bowl. Not much room to make it worse but the service was good and the prices were fair. Cafeteria wasn't dirty.

They don't open on time. They had a issue with their credit card reader. Food is average, not much ambiance to speak of and staff is extremely rude!

My beef tew was canned, the lomi lomi wasn't good, prices were jacked up for what it was but it is what it is. The best part was the friendly local gentleman Bruce who was a local diner not an employee. It was definitely this place. It tastes identical to Denty Moore canned stew. Unfortunately neither of our meals were good, we'd had high hopes as it was recommended to us.
