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 always, an excellent meal; we usually get the set menu, but chose to taste some other entrees this time, and all three entrees were outstanding. Noise level was quite high this time in the bar area as there were multiple functions going on in the building, but this didn't ruin the ambiance.

    We had a great experience with MW, especially the food featuring their signature mochi-crusted kampachi fish dish. The service was terrific, and pretty good prices for what you get, down to a reasonable valet parking.

    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.
