    This is one of our go to restaurants in HNL. We have been going here since it opened and as well to its predecessor at the Modern. While the food is exquisite (sticky ribs are the best you will ever have), we have determined that the real reason we keep coming back is the staff. This year, they confirmed that beyond our expectations. Bryan was our server and he was fantastic, enthusiastic and friendly. The manager, Vinnie, came over to our table and a good visit turned into something truly memorable! Thank you Vinnie! We look forward to continuing to come back; for the food but more importantly, the amazing/great/welcoming staff!

    Consistently good service and food For this high end type of restaurant they should have a better check in process There is constantly walk ins from the hotel that run in ahead of people with reservations There should be a defined separate method for those coming in who have made reservations months ahead like most locals do than those walking in It’s like a cattle stampede with rude people pushing into one small doorway No other high end restaurant has this issue. Servers and food are great. Even the limited eating time works because orders come out quickly. But the entry always causes some anxiety Fix that and it’s a perfect place to eat

    I went here thinking I was going for a sushi bar, but I ended up with an Omakase experience. The fish was extremely fresh, I found out Thursday as “fresh fish Thursday“ when they get all of their shipments in, but when I came into this place I thought it was going to be busy because of the reviews, but I was the third person there. The sushi chef was one year in the US coming from Japan, so knew very little English, but I just rolled with it. Turned out. I had a wonderful experience with some delicious sushi. I’ve had Uni in the past and I thought it tasted like the bottom of the ocean, but the Uni they had here was straight from Japan and it was very sweet … and I can now understand why they consider it a delicacy. Had a couple glasses of sake, along with the Omakase experience. All in it was about $160 … but it was unbelievably delicious. I would highly recommend this place.
