Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Wade Ueoka & Michelle Karr-Ueoka

From the OpenTable editors: Wife-and-husband team Michelle Karr-Ueoka and Wade Ueoka trained in MICHELIN-Starred kitchens from Napa to NYC before returning home to open what Eater calls one of the most essential restaurants in Honolulu. The airy, second-floor space has a big, bustling dining room for Hawaiian comforts like the signature mochi-crusted kampachi and wagyu beef sliders on housemade mochi buns. Save room for Karr-Ueoka's award-winning desserts, such as a gussied-up mango shave ice.

    As usual, the food was excellent, and the service was very good. No real complaints ... parking situation could be a little better, but it is manageable.

    One of the best meals, from start to finish, I’ve ever experienced. Butterfish & crab cakes were delicious. Deserts were so creative & the MW G&T was one of the best G&Ts. Great waitstaff & support staff. It was also really nice to meet the chef, as he & his wife are quit the combination!! Hoping to visit again

    Everything was great but there was a large noisy party (Rose Soirée) downstairs, making it difficult to enjoy our first visit to the new location, as our table was immediately after the hostess stand. Tyler was amazing! We were also very surprised and grateful for our birthday desserts! Loved the MW G&T too! Thank you so much!

    知人よりオススメされて日本から予約をして伺いました。The Busでワイキキから向かいましたが1本で行けて、バス停を降り横断歩道を渡った目の前(1Fフェラーリのビル)の2Fです。どの料理も美味しく、鰻のライスボールやポキをワンタンの皮にディップした前菜、カンパチのムニエル、リブステーキどれも絶品でした。1品のボリュームがあるのでシェアしていただきました。
