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.

    I like the lunch menu. I had the pork belly lunch and the smashed burger. They were delicious and beautiful to look at. Service was warm and wonderful.

    I’ve been there several times and servers have always been very good. I’ve always enjoyed everything I’ve ordered. Just wish they’d offer the natto, poke, ginger chicken bento they had years ago during natto week.

    Have been wanting to try Nami Kaze for a while. Menu is creative, with fresh takes on classic brunch dishes. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

    We grazed through five delightful appetizers. Each was creative and delicious. The cocktail menu was similarly creative. Everything was delivered with excellent service. I look forward to visiting again soon.
