Great place to start your day on Lanai. Blue Ginger is currently opened for breakfast and lunch and we stopped in for both meals on our trip. I enjoyed their breakfast burrito which came filled with meat and eggs with a side of fried rice. I also tried their bay shrimp omelet and I added Portuguese sausage. That was my fave. They bake their own bread and have a bunch of different pastries to take on your daily excursion while on the island. Stop by and grab a bite! read more

Great food and prices. Service was really nice and fast. Bring cash as they only accept cash or check. Ample seating. I had the club sandwich and it was delicious. read more

Good food here, serious sized portions. I've not found breakfast to be remarkable, taste-wise, but you will be stuffed to the gills and likely won't be hungry for some time. They really shine at lunch, dinner, and through their baked goods, made onsite. I had one of the best french dip sandwiches here. There is indoor and outdoor seating (in a lovely leafy setting, just have to battle flies). There's a restroom in the back, but it does involve tackling a few steps. There's also a step into the restaurant. Cash only! No dough - walk about a block up the street to the bank's ATM. read more

Best restaurant in Lana'i! Fresh baked bread, home cooked comfort food. Atmosphere is welcoming and staff friendly!

There aren't many restaurant options in Lanai, so we ended up here. The service was pretty weird - the lady at the register didn't crack a smile once and seemed tired of answering any questions we had about the menu. However, the food was great. I ordered one of their daily specials that had samples of a lot of different things - shrimp tempura, fried chicken, pork, an omelette, and rice. The portion was also massive so it was good value. Keep in mind that they are cash only though! read more

Love coming here! We come here all the time as it is one of the few places to eat around here. Food is good, service is ok. Really disappointed in my last visit. I phone ordered 6pcs of Fried Chicken @ $2.50/pc. Went to pick up my order and it rang up $20.83. At $2.50 a piece I was expecting to $15+tax. So I paid the order and when I opened the container to notice I had 4pcs of chicken and 2pcs of drumettes(wings). Not only did I pay more than I was told, I didn't get 6 full pieces of chicken! read more

Best burger I've ever had! Coming from NY, I did not think any of the food I would be having in Hawaii would blow me away. But this burger was AMAZING. We came back a second time before leaving to have it again and it was just as good. Lots of locals here and a spot you have to go to while in Lanai. This restaurants beats a lot of the fancy restaurants at the resorts in Lanai. The double bacon cheeseburger is huge, if ordering that you can probably share with another person. read more

It was great food and we were hungry. Pretty much the only game in town. But good. You order and they bring it out to you.

Day trip. Great place to eat. Bakery is good, had blueberry turnover and cinnamon roll. Also, had the saimin noodles and a big breakfast. Friendly staff. Right across the park. read more

As a tourist on Lanai, dining options are extremely limited. We stayed at Sensei Lanai, where there is only 1 restaurant (Nobu) available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Luckily, Lanai Town is a short 15-20 minute stroll down the hill. From the moment we landed in Lanai, we heard about Blue Ginger from our driver. It's a local favorite for breakfast and lunch. When you get tired of the fancy resort life, Blue Ginger is the go-to place on Lanai. We went for breakfast and wanted to try as many things as we could. The Breakfast Bento Plate comes with pretty much all the breakfast meats + chicken. The Big Breakfast comes with 1 choice of meat plus pancakes. The one thing that was special here is the fried chicken. I wish I had just gotten a huge plate of only fried chicken. The breading was crispy and tasty, and the meat inside so moist and tender. Idk how they do it, but it's way better than Popeye's, Jollibee's, Zippy's, anywhere else! They're also known for their pastries, and we couldn't resist getting the ensemada, which was the size of my face. Buttery, soft, not too sweet. It was an amazing afternoon snack later in the day. Overall, our Lanai trip was just okay, and I probably wouldn't come back to visit. But in the event that I do find myself back on this island, I'll be sure to make a stop or two at Blue Ginger, just for the fried chicken! read more

Come here for breakfast if you're visiting Lanai! Very old school type diner with some Filipino flavor.

Wifey and I stopped at this place twice during our stay in Lanai and just thought it was so cute. It smelled delicious in the morning and the outside seating was perfect. No wonder it was packed with all the locals! I ordered the Lanai omelette and the big breakfast and had no complaints on either. The bread and pancakes were delicious too. The bathroom was a little funky to get to, but it was enough. Almost wanted to come back a couple times for lunch, but I'll have to save it for the next trip! read more

Mom and pop's outdated diner. Ordering was slightly confusing, but the portions made up for it. Loved the fried rice just the perfect seasoning. read more

Why all the locals talk about this place, I'm not so sure. I really wanted to like this cafe but unfortunately that's not how it played out. We ordered the chicken stir fry and shrimp tempura. Chicken stir fry was bland, and then on top of that the sauce was so thick and gelatinous like it had tons of corn starch in it. Not very appetizing looking. I don't know how they can call the shrimp tempura "tempura" because it looked and tasted like it was dipped in regular batter. There was nothing tempura about it, it didn't even come with a dipping sauce. Like I said, I really wanted to like this place due to it being a local's favorite, but I would go elsewhere. read more

Food is great but note they only take cash. Lanai is one of my favorite places to go!

The order taker had such an attitude and we thought he was kidding but his sharpness took us by surprise. Fire him as he isn't going to help with those of us who visit occasionally from Maui- his insulting attitude is not appropriate for any public facing job especially in a restaurant . Also a huge negative is that they only take cash. That requires a run to Bank of Hawaii. Unfortunately they are like to only game in town for breakfast or lunch and yet in the future I'd go to the market and take my food home or to my car. That is how awful it made us (group of 4) feel. read more

4 out of 5 The food was good, as someone who is not used to having spam and rice for breakfast, it was different. The portions are huge as you can see on my picture. I had the Binto, which came with every kid of meat you can think of and then some. The service was prompt and prices were reasonable considering you do not have may option in Lanai. Its a great place for large groups, considering the price and the seating. I would def recommend it. cheers read more

Fresh pastry made this morning. It was still warms when we ordered it, and it tasted so flaky and sweet. We loved the apple and blueberry turnover. The lanai omelette was huge. It has lots of sausage inside. I wouldn't finish it. But it was delicious filling. The self-serving coffee was delicious Cash only. The service was good. We enjoyed sitting outside and people watch. There was farmers market open on Dole park. read more

This place is amazing!!! I swear my kids have never eaten this well before! The people working at blue ginger are very friendly and helpful. I got a breakfast burrito and it was very tasty and made sure to try both of my kids foods (chicken nuggets and a cheeseburger) and all were delicious!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

This place welcomes everyone with their beautiful smile behind the mask, and the walls well decorated with paintings of local scenes. Good food too. Pastries satisfied our Pinoy palate. Great gem when you visit the island. read more

We spent the day on Lana'i and rented car for the day from Judi at 808 Day Trip (Hey Judi - the silver Nissan rental was very nice!). After spending the morning at Hulopo'e beach we drove into the city for lunch and found Blue Ginger Cafe. I was planning to get a burger, but a man who I assume was the owner pointed out a pastry that had a hotdog and cheese inside. This seemed like a local thing so I got one. First bite was great - fresh baked bread with american cheese and a filipino hotdog. The hotdog was a nice and unexpected surprise! I didn't expect to see the very distinct red outer red skin. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by this little gem right off the park in Lanai City. We took the ferry over from Maui this morning and it was nice to stop in and have quality and affordable food. We are a family of 6 and ate omelette, French toast, Portuguese sausage & rice for only $23. Believe me this is a quality bargain and truly a local cafe spot. Such kind people. Forgot to get pics before everyone dug in. read more

Came back again to give the owner another chance. More bad service and overpriced Costco food. French fries taste fishy and you can tell he doesn't value or pay his employees. What a shame this owner has killed the family business. read more

One of the few restaurants on the Island of Lana'i and also one of the only ones that is open seven days a week. They only take cash, but they do have a large menu selection along with plenty of baked goods. I had their chicken katsu plate and the food was absolutely amazing and delicious unlike any other places in Hawai'i that I've been to. Their apple turnover was pretty good as well. read more

Picked up 3 plate lunches & a couple t-shirts. You can dine in or take out. I decided to take out and eat at the park across the street. The loco moco, chicken katsu, and mixed plate were very tasty, but the cashier was slow. read more

3.5 star food. Food was decent. Big, cheap, and tasty saimin bowl. Thin and hot (okay, but not great) fries. Spiral sliced ham in the ham & cheese sandwich, but mayo on BOTH pieces of thick toasted bread ruined it for me. Wish I'd thought to ask. A good, solid place for a meal off the resort properties, but nothing that I craved. 3 star service. Not very warm. 5-star prices. It's Lana'i City, and your options at this price point are limited. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Bakery items at the counter all day. Little lending library of books in the window up front. read more

1 of only 5 eateries on the island if you are not staying at the four seasons hotels. We came here for breakfast at the recommendation of our shuttle driver. Two things stood out! First, their fried rice is the best I have ever had! It was soo good. Second, the Apple turnover was amazing. Warm, flakey, and just absolutely delicious. They are only open for Breakfast and lunch, and the bakery items sell out early. We were there at 8am and most things were gone by 8:30. Cinnamon rolls seemed to be the most popular item as they went first. I recommend spending a day in Lanai and when you do go here first thing! read more

Pretty easy to be the best show in town when you're just about the only show in town. However, surprisingly, this place was worth a stop - it hit the spot with local kine grindz. My husband and I got the Regular Breakfast and it did not disappoint... opt for the Fried Rice! Or upgrade to the Big Breakfast and add on with super fluffy French Toast. I would have preferred for the French Toast to be topped with Kerrygold Grass Fed butter rather than the typical fake butter but hey... you shouldn't be a snob when it comes to dirty local food. But I'll standby my snobbiness when it comes to coffee in Hawaii...so just a tip -- if you only love good high quality coffee, skip out on ordering coffee this time and order something else. The service was great and the ambiance was cute, prices not bad considering! This place was frequented equally by locals and tourists. Locals definitely give off the good Aloha vibes here and throughout Lana'i. read more

This is the only restaurant in Lanai City that's open seven days a week. If you're from a big city, it's not much to look at, but it does kind of have a small town, old-timey charm to it. There's not much of a menu, but they do serve breakfast foods and lunch foods. If you're here for the cat sanctuary and looking for a place to grab a hot lunch, this is probably your best bet, because it opens before everything else and tends to close later. The service leaves a lot to be desired, especially since the town is so small that they know if you're not a local. They don't cook food with any kind of speed-- two tuna sandwiches took over 20 minutes-- and they don't tend to be very friendly to those who don't know how their system works. They also only take cash, which isn't too surprising. We at least got a heads up from previous reviews and knew to have cash on hand when we walked in. Food was good enough to warrant a return if we ever find ourselves back on Lanai. read more

Great burger, one of the top I've had. Who would've thought from a ring island like Lanai! I think we ordered 4 whole papayas during our stay, they keep 'em nice and cold. Ensaymadas were solid too and was the only pastry we had. Solid service too read more

Service was good, very welcoming, considering line was out the door for Sunday breakfast at the time. Dining room area clean. The veggie omelette was outstanding, and plentiful. The only thing that I didn't give Blue Ginger Cafe 5 stars is because they only take cash. read more
