Great restaurant for date nights or any other special occasions. The location is perfect and the parking is $15 for four hours with the restaurant validation. Food is incredibly tasty. We had the Ala Cart menu with five in our group. Each dish was special and tasty. The complimentary desserts for one birthday and one anniversary in our group were very impressive. We really enjoyed everything. The service was very attentive. The only bad thing about it was the cork fee was $50 each bottle. The most I had anywhere else was $30 each bottle. It’s not very reasonable to charge $50 each bottle.

Best culinary experience to date! Wouldn’t be surprised if this restaurant starts gaining Michelin stars soon. Unique, fresh, creative food with perfect wine pairings and attentive, courteous, professional service that I’ve only seen at Michelin-awarded restaurants. Excellent plant-based options; cannot recommend this place more!

An amazing dining experience in all respects. Lohi as our server, stepping out of bar role, was the perfect delivery system for incredible tasting menu with pairing in an exquisite surrounding. Will be back for more!

IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR PRECIOUS FAMILY, FRIENDS, OR LOVER TO BE KILLED, THIS IS A RESTAURANT YOU SHOULD NEVER GO TO. This is the worst restaurant that completely ruins the image of Japanese. It should go out of business immediately. I guarantee it's much cheaper and tastier to buy some sashimi at Safeway and pour soy sauce over it. If anyone I know is planning to go to this restaurant, I've decided to stop them even if it means stabbing each other. Just coming here will pollute all of your beautiful memories of Hawaii like the dark oil leaking from the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. I told the restaurant about the foods I don't like and asked them to let me know if they couldn't avoid serving them. Of course, they replied that they could. But then a dish containing that ingredient was brought out right in front of me. They deliberately mixed the ingredient in right in front of me. And if I hadn't known that the dish contained foods I don't like, I would have eaten it without knowing anything about it. "I can't eat this ingredient, so I asked them to exclude it from the menu, but what's going on?" I asked the Japanese woman in front of me, and she gave me advice along the lines of, "I see. Then why don't you just avoid that ingredient?" I've been to many restaurants run by Japanese people in other countries, but this restaurant is by far the worst in every way. Conversely, this might be the perfect place to assassinate someone with allergies. I also have a full recording of my interactions at this restaurant, as well as an email from the person in charge—both utterly outrageous. But for the sake of their dignity, I’ll refrain from revealing the details. That said, there is one thing that must absolutely be pointed out is, Everyone at this restaurant should be thankful to God that I was generous enough to not have killed any of their employees. It was a restaurant of such a level that they wouldn't have been able to complain if they had been killed by me.

Best creative vegan tasting menu. All the courses in the tasting were not predictable and super creative. The blend of veggies which I never thought of. The cutleries and utensils were so unique. Our attender was very friendly and welcoming. He made our day and it was worth visiting. Also, they surprised with the dessert as we were celebrating a birthday. It was quite expensive but you won’t be disappointed at all. Overall it was great experience. Highly recommend the place specifically the tasting menu for special occasions.

Was seeking a vegan friendly location for my companion and this place did not disappoint. Went with a la carte selections upstairs at bar. Big island beef and gnocchi were extremely tasty. Service was superb and the bar seating ended up being perfect for date night. Will be back again soon!
