First time here for their Chinese food. We ordered the chicken chow mein and veggies soft noodles. Both dishes tasted delicious. Glad to eat something different after eating the cruise ship food. We talked to the grandson of the owner. They have been running this restaurant since the 60’s. We were glad to chat with him and know more about their family own business. Highly recommend this restaurant if you Judy want some Chinese food.

Hidden gem just off the (very) beaten path in Ketchikan. The cruise crowds don’t know about this place and it’s *phenomenal.* Limpia, ginger beef and pancit are to die for, and the family who run it are so warm and friendly! Found it by accident and so glad we did. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Filipino and Asian food. Just far enough away from the cruise ships to avoid that crowd. Get the Shrimp Pancit Bijon

I’ve lived in Ketchikan all of my life, and my mom and dad have been here for a long time. Diaz Cafe has always been here, it was one of my first restaurants, and Rudy and Clara have treated me and mine as one of their family. I love these guys, and their food is great. Best lumpia on the island, best pancit, and my favourite fried rice and foo yong.

RUN don’t walk to Diaz Cafe!!! This was THE BEST wonton soup I’ve ever had! The Pancit is light yet filling and delicious. This family owned 60 years in business is worth waiting for… it’s a MUST GO

Excellent food with a varied menu. Sweet and sour pork with pineapple on rice is a long-time popular favorite for many. Not a lot of ambience and gets fairly loud when crowded but the food makes up for that. They prefer cash payment but will take credit cards now with an added 5% surcharge. Their hours are limited, 4 p.m.-9 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. Closed Sunday/Monday. They also close completely for a couple of months during the winter.

Growing up in Ketchikan, I used to eat at Mama Diaz’s with my grandmother. It was a special place and for 36 years of being away from home, when I talked about Ketchikan, this was always going to be at the top of my list, as far as things to do.
Shortly after my arrival back home, I went to Diaz Cafe with my family and I must say, for as good as the food was, I was disappointed with the lumpia. They used to be a lot better, but now, it seems like they didn’t change the cooking oil or something.
Other dishes like the egg foo yung and whatever else was in the family platter were pretty good. It’s just the lumpia that weren’t all that great.
I was amazed that the place looked exactly like it had, when I left, nearly 4 decades ago, and would not tell anyone to avoid eating here. The lumpia may not be as they were, but the food is still tasty enough.
Sadly, I only went just once in a month. Maybe I will try it again, next time.
