   Food was very underwhelimg, especially the oysters. We were the only people in there on a Friday night and the head chef could be heard arguing.

   We went to celebrate a birthday, and it was very disappointing! We dined there a few times before, but we are not going back. The service was terrible! I ordered Ahi Crudo (appt.), Branzino Fillet'd (main), Pavlova (dessert), and ginger ale. My husband ordered 'UMI' tasting menu and a glass of wine. We were warned, very oddly, about sharing food. The server told us that the chef does not allow any sharing of the tasting menu. We were stunned to be told something like that, but the server was very firm about it. The food was overall okay, except the steak, which my husband said was great. Also, they did not acknowledge that it was a birthday celebration even though I made a note when I made the reservation. I mentioned this when we were paying. Then, the server told us to wait for the birthday dessert. Then, when we examined the bill, we saw that we were being double charged the desserts, $17x2, even though one of them was included in the tasting menu. Luckily I caught that after paying, alerted the staff, and they redid the charge. We left very unhappy. I was very sorry that I chose this restaurant to celebrate an important day.

   On my most recent visit, I ventured beyond past tasting menus and encountered even more delights. A fascinating ahi tartare. Foie gras gyoza?! A perfectly delicate branzino and more! Plus, perfectfully thoughtful wine pairings to accompany the journey. Top-notch all around. Iʻm more a quality over quantity diner, and find their servings just right for the sampling I want to do. In my experience, this spot has a relaxed, non-rushed, and attentive vibe. I also find their pricing more appealing because there isnʻt the clamor, table-turn-over quota, or required formality of nearby peer establishments. Much mahalo to Abby, Vikram, Henry, and Lee for curating great dining experiences!

    お料理とサービングしてくださる方々とのコミュニケーション、両方ともが素晴らしい体験でした！ お酒が好きな方は、ペアリングをお願いするのがおすすめです。 日本の食材も使われているので、やっぱりおいしさに安心感があって、その点もよかったです。 テイスティングメニュー（コースメニュー）のワイキキコースとカレーコース、アラカルトをオーダーしました。 量の点でいうと、日本人でしたらカレーコースで十分、ワイキキコースはもうお腹いっぱい、、という感じです。アラカルも３つたのむと料理数はワイキキコースと同じです。 デザートもすごくおいしいのでコースをぜひ！なので、朝食よりもディナーで。
