Best Casual Restaurants in Kalihi-Palama

What an extraordinary dining experience. Not only deliciously creative, but also exquisite presentation. It was obvious that the staff in the dining room and the kitchen were so very pleased to share their art with their guests.

Always an excellent experience at Podmore. The staff and Management always go above and beyond, the menu constantly changes and the food is delicious. One of my favorite places.

The food was amazing with the most unique and interesting flavor combinations. Our party of 4 ordered 8 plates to share-some lighter plates and some entrees. The veal, char sui pork chop and mushroom donburi were excellent. The Frito misto is served with a lime aioli and is to die for. Cocktails were interesting and delicious and we saved a bit of space to share both desserts. Yum! Service was excellent- perfectly attentive, warm and friendly without being intrusive. Fast becoming a fave restaurant for us!

We two had an excellent omakase meal. We really enjoyed it. Genuinely 5 stars. Great service; great hospitality; great food.

A very interesting menu, and a great location in the midst of Chinatown. Most of the dishes were very flavorful, but a couple of the meat-focused appetizers could’ve benefited from less cooking time and more seasoning. Would return.
