    I was somewhat disappointed with Zigu. From the photos the outdoor seating looked lovely, but in person the chairs are very uncomfortable and you basically are under a tarp with some flowers. We reserved for a birthday but got seated at a wobbly table with wooden chairs when better circular tables were open. Regarding the food- at least for sushi, it was average at best with a very narrow assortment of fish. The hot food was better- the tempura was delicious. The server got part of the order wrong but corrected it. The Yakisoba had very little meat and the noodles resembled packaged ramen. I do not plan to return.

    Services was horrible . Sushi was decent , but menu was very limited. Photos on open table are not up to date , better call to check what is in season and not assume what you see on here is still on the menu. Server told us, don’t bother looking online because it’s not up to date , they change menu within season but do not update any online platform. Zigu would have been a better experience if the server knew her menu and if she was helpful with it being our first time visitors.

    One of my favorite places in Waikiki. You’ll be greeted with a “A-LO-HA” in the style of “irasshaimase”. It may be pricier than the traditional IZAKAYA, but they have such a unique flare to their food mixing local ingredients with Japanese cuisine in a high quality standard. Almost anything you get here will be super tasty! Also, the drinks are AMAZING! I recommend the Mega Lemon chu-hi!

    Shoga-yaki (pork ginger) is one of best pork ginger - even for Japanese! I also love the creative flavor of Hiya-yakko which is cold tofu with ginger paste topping. Maui onion pickles was very good. Best Izakaya in Wikii.

    I ordered the Hawaiian Ahi Cutlet - it was delicious! It came with a kale salad and on the menu it was listed as Japanese tartar but it was like a semi creamy potato salad - both were very tasty. I also ordered the beer with ginger and turmeric - loved it because I love ginger and you can taste the ginger :) I would definitely go again and order that beer and ahi!!

    Delicious. Ahi entree was the star of the show, but the sushi rolls and other fried appetizers (mochiko chicken and takoyaki) were also delicious. Pork entree was a bit underwhelming, but still good. My boyfriend doesn’t really enjoy fish, but we were both in agreement that the food was fantastic (fish and all). Good cuts of fish for the price. Service was prompt and staff were attentive.
