The New Eagle Cafe

---

The New Eagle Cafe a comfortable family friendly dining atmosphere that provides home cooked meals. The menu is extensive with Asian as well as Western food offered for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Take Out. The Prime Rib dinner at the New Eagle Cafe is the best in Hawaii for the price. The Chinese steamed fish is excellent for those who like Asian food. The food is prepared from scratch in the restaurant to include all of the pies and the desert specials. The Eagle Café is believed to have been operating in Hawaii since the 1930’s. Back in the 1960s, George and Teruko Teruya bought the Eagle Cafe at Fort Street and Chaplain Lane in the Blaisdell Hotel. They wanted a similar name, but one that reflected a new era so they put the word 'New' in front. In 1976, they moved to Nu'uanu Avenue and Pauahi Street, then to the Nimitz Center in 1988, where New Eagle Cafe would be one of the area's new anchor tenants. The New Eagle Cafe represents the best of "nostalgic and old Hawai'i restaurants," said city Councilman Donovan Dela Cruz, who co-authored the book, "The Puka Guide: Oahu's Hole-In-The-Wall Restaurants. "They've seen generations of customers come and go. These types of places are slowly disappearing. They all help define local culture" Dela Cruz said. The 3,600 square-foot restaurant can seat 140 people, has 35 employees and stays busy despite hard times in Hawai'i.
