Combining the flavors from his hometown of Kaua‘i, and the decades of experience working for some of Hawai‘i’s top culinary leaders, including Ian Ruso of Michele’s at the Colony Surf and Roy Yamaguchi, Nami Kaze Hawaii is a unique melting pot of culinary creativity. With a farmer-focused approach, guests can expect to embark on a culinary adventure, enjoying creations that reflect Peel’s appreciation for the produce and provisions found throughout the state.

Nami Kaze Hawaii is currently open for brunch and dinner, Wednesday through Sunday.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Jason Peel

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Jason Peel is known nationally as the former executive chef for Roy’s Waikiki and beloved locally as a cooking instructor at the Culinary Institute of the Pacific. He opened his own restaurant Nami Kaze in 2022, quickly scoring a couple of James Beard Award nominations for izakaya-style small plates, both hot and cold, that star ingredients from favorite local farmers and fishermen. Be sure to try the hamachi rolls, plus the honey walnut shrimp stacked on waffles at brunch.

    What a wonderful, lively brunch experience! While the Sushi Bar seating was not traditional, it gave a great view into the wonderful dance that was the open kitchen. The cocktails were spectacular and the sashimi really leveled up. This is my new go-to sushi haunt when in Waikiki!

    Interesting fun menu-just not quite there in execution of some of the items. Scallops and eggplant too well done, bok choy would have been better with baby bok choy. Pork belly was excellent and the highlight!

    Every dish from starter through dessert was not only outstanding, but unusual preparations. This includes perfectly cooked salmon with a chili pepper sauce, the beet starter with creamy goat cheese, and a Thai peppery chocolate dessert. Even the cocktail special was unusual but delicious. Service was prompt and outstanding, and they left a pitcher of water on the table - a plus in my book.
