It was busy, but I didn't have any problems getting a quiet corner to sit in and a chance to eat lunch. With my work travel through HNL this has become a nice option before flying back to the mainland. One other word of warning to new visitors - the signage to find it is not very clear. The other lounges are more prominently signed. Just head to the base of the triangle that accesses the E gates and look for stairs that go up. There are two set of stairs at the end of each walkway coming from the E gates. There is a Starbucks at one entry point.
