About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Kō, which translates to sugarcane in Hawaiian, is inspired by the sugarcane plantation era, a time when people from around the world came to the Hawaiian Islands to work in the sugarcane fields. The plantation workers brought recipes and cooking techniques from home, while utilizing the ingredients available to them in the islands. This culinary evolution eventually developed into what is now considered modern Hawaiian cuisine.

In 2012, Kō's concept was brought to life by the esteemed Chef Tylun Pang. Chef Pang passionately led and developed Kō into a cultural melting pot that best represents Hawaiian-style cuisine. The expansive menu features island family recipes that have been passed down for generations - including Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese, Korean, and Japanese favorites.

    We were very dissatisfied with the location/view of our table. The food was adequate but nothing special. Our server was excellent.

    The flies were horrible. When I say horrible I mean unacceptable. I grew up in a state where I am used to bugs. This was downright unacceptable. Flies in my food, flies in my hair, flies in my drink. We went there for my daughter’s birthday and she cried the entire time due to the bug situation. Will not be back.

    Ko was the best dining experience yet we had the pleasure of enjoying in Maui. Any bad review is either clearly the competition or someone not in their right mind. Christina our server was outstanding and the service was top notch. I appreciate their attentiveness but privacy during our romantic dinner The Lavender shrimp was the best crusted shrimp I've ever had and I'm usually not a shrimp lover. I loved it so much I went with their surf and turf noodle dish. I have never had noodles so good it felt like I was being gatekept from my whole life. My wife's lamb special was fall off the bone and couldn't be more flavorful. The drinks were delicious too, the Mai Tais and Liliko' i margaritas were outstanding. All wrapped up in a beautiful sunset by the pool on the ocean side of the grand Fairmont. Would highly recommend and will be absolutely returning.
