Best Contemporary Asian Restaurants in Hawaii

Great experience in a modernized sushi bar. The creations were excellent. The service matched the quality of the food as well. It had a young hip vibe which is not typical for a sushi bar, but it was an entertaining experience. We'll definitely be back.

Great food but it’s more of a club than a restaurant.

Wonderful setting. We had dined here before but this time the menu is all share plates which was great for us as we got to try an array of different dishes, each presented beautifully and uniquely delicious. Perfect WOW date or special occasion spot with its outstanding inventive decor. Pictures go not do it justice. I marked the noise level as loud in this review. We were next to group of 12 people who were celebrating something and felt it appropriate to speak and laugh VERY loudly as if they were at a private party venue. It was distracting and annoying and quite frankly did take away from our lovely dining experience. Our first experience dining there was different. While the dining areas were full the noise level was low. Guess one should ask not to be seated next to a large crowd.

We were recommended to try Pig and Lady, and it did not disappoint. We shared the chicken wings and beets to start, I had the Pho 75 (which is huge) and my friend had the epaulette for entrees. Everything had complex and unexpected flavors. Plus excellent service, and the decor is quirky and fun. Would definitely visit regularly if I lived in Honolulu.

Enjoyed a great meal at Sansei. Their dining room has improved since the last time I had dinner there. The white table cloths and all same level seating has made the experience more enjoyable. Fairly quiet during our experience, but it wasn’t too busy at that time on a Wednesday evening either. I highly recommend the crab ramen. A large dish for one, and easy to share for 2-3.
