***During COVID-19 Visit*** Local kine grindz located in a strip mall right by the airport. If you're hungry and need something to eat right when you disembark, this is the place to go to. I ordered the Pinoy omelette and the pork adobo omelette. Great prices for both and total only came out to like $21.00? Food was good. I've definitely had better, but you'll get your fix right here. I found the rice to be a bit different based on its texture and the adobo also had an unusual taste. It wasn't bad at all, but everybody has different taste buds. Customer service was really good though so still five star review from dis guy. Mahalo!

Not far from the Honolulu airport- what this place lacks in ambience definitely makes up for it with the food. Pick any one of the dishes and you will not be disappointed. It is our first stop off the plane! It is the hidden hole in the wall that is inexpensive and tasty. We have eaten here numerous times and wouldn't think of missing it every time we come here.

Nestled in the corner of the Airport Commercial Center sits Christine's Diner. First timer here at this spot so I wanted to see what the hype was about. Had their adobo fried rice with steak and eggs and a braddah moco plate. The plates offer big portions that could feed 2 people. Adobo steak and eggs had some flavor. Not to MY liking and I've tasted better but the plate itself is alright. The braddah moco consists of homemade corned beef hash, bacon, spam, eggs and I switched up the rice to fried rice. I shouldve just stuck to regular rice. The flavors are a bit strange for me. The gravy that was on top of the hash was weird and tasted different. Slammed some black pepper and salt on the plate to give it some taste. Over all for my experience the plates were on the not so exciting side for me or maybe it was just the plates I choose to taste today. Theres seating on both sides of the diner and I highly suggest to sit on the right side of the diner. It's much more cooler on that side and there's also a tv to keep you conpany while having your meal. Anyhoot goooo check them out and see whats good for you.

Very good local spot. Fast friendly service. Portion size is great, food was delicious. All the locals seem to come here so that's also a good sign.

Tried the kim chee fried rice 0/10. Definitely would not recommend. Her plate lunches are usually good but that was awful.

Fast, friendly, local diner. Great place to sit and enjoy local style comfort food. Authentic adobo like it es made at home. Lots of choices on a daily special board. Located in an industrial part of the Airport park, if the workers are eating there you know it's good!

No frills, down home diner. The staff are always friendly and remember me every time and the food is always fast and delicious!

It is close to the airport. Hash browns were not cooked and rest of the food was average at best. Fountain drinks options almost nil and there were boxes everywhere. I cannot even imagine what the kitchen looked like. Skip it. IHOP would be a better choice.

A nice lunch plate restaurant to satisfy your hunger. Big selection of your favorites. So far I've had the Angus hamburger steak and the spicy garlic chicken. No disappointments. The young lady behind the counter was pleasant and efficient. Prices are low despite all the rampant inflation we've been seeing. The portions are decently large. I will definitely eat here again.

This is the perfect local experience - if you care to see how the non-tourists eat, try here.The food was great and tasted super; the servings of ahi were generous and well prepared. Not exactly a Michelin star kitchen, but well above average for this class.
Food was excellent service was just as good. Management was so nice nite time manager Julia makes you feel like family. Friends and I eat there 2 to 4times Bi Weeky. Great menu

Ordered the Spinach and Bacon Omelette with Hash Brown ($2more); husband ordered the Teri Beef sandwich. Husband said the sandwich was okay-nothing special; hash browns not really worth the extra $2, but the omelette was full of Bacon, Spinach, and Onions-husband said it looked like a 4egg omelette. They have tables inside and couple tables/chairs outside.

Had the pork adobo omlette with steak fried rice. It was awesome. Also near the HNL airport and reasonable prices.

I've only gotten to know this business because of my previous boss. He would always treat us plates here. I like the local fusion. My favorite plate is the chicken adobo fried rice, with sweet longsnissa and egg. It's such a great mix. But these plates don't play! They are packed and will make you full. I also love the steak and shrimp. They do take card and cash. But there is a minimum for card, I don't quite remember what it is, between $5-$10. I love supporting local businesses, and this is definitely one of them. Will continue to come here to satisfy my cravings!
