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.

    We have a new, to us, go to place in Honolulu! MW’s unique setting, the showroom of a luxury high end foreign car dealership, is an added bonus to the wonderful food and pleasant friendly service provided by all. Drawn to MW’s by the chefs’ prior experience at the former Alan Wong’s, we were pleased that the food was just as outstanding. Lobster roll special appetizer was excellent, the only minus was the waiter saying he would make it 4 piece serving vs the standard 3 so we wouldn’t fight over the last one! We thought that was nice, but were surprised when we saw the extra charge on the bill, minor thing, but it wasn’t clear to us. The salads were excellent as was the main course Kampachi, probably the best fish we have ever eaten.

    My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner. She had the miso butterfish, and I, the ribeye. For dessert we got mango shave ice and I also had and iced Irish coffee. We will be going back.
