Blue Ginger Cafe
A family-run longtime favorite in Lanai City, famous for its hearty loco moco and breakfast fried rice, and the island's most popular budget restaurant.
Located on Seventh Street in Lanai City beside Dole Park, this family-run spot doubles as a bakery. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a blend of American and Pan-Asian flavors. The signature is loco moco, a classic Hawaiian dish of rice topped with a hamburger patty and a fried egg. The breakfast fried rice sells out, so reviewers suggest going early. Dry or stir-fried saimin noodles, fried chicken cutlets and Portuguese sausage omelets are also often mentioned, and breads such as ensaymada are available. Portions are large and served in foam takeout containers. Cash only. Expect about US$10–20 per person. Reservations are not accepted, and it's an easy walk from the town center.
Opening hours
Daily from breakfast until about 8:00 PM (check the posted hours)
