If you want to go to one fine dining establishment while in Honolulu, Mugen is it! An intimate, well designed dining room sets the tone. The service is friendly and very professional. Every dish that was served was perfect. This six course dining experience was exceptional. Try the foie gras sandwich...simply the best. All of the service staff and a visit from the chef made the visit a memorable evening. If Michelin ever starts reviewing Hawaii restaurants, Mugen would earn three stars!

Very cute place with great music and a nice view if you’re seated near the windows. The food was really good although I think the empanadas could have been fried longer. The exterior was hot, crispy and nice, but interior was a bit cool. It was stuffed with beef and cheese and they were both just somewhat cool/warm. The flavors were great, just needed more warming time. The queso fundido with chorizo was soooo delish! It also could’ve used a little more warming/melting time. We still enjoyed it though. Overall: great ambiance, good food, fantastic service. We will definitely return.
