Excellent service with specific recommendations given and even thoughtful timing of the dishes we ordered and when they would each come out. We had the most lovely evening and enjoyed every bite! Make sure you try the watermelon salad and the wagyu hangar steak.

About the restaurant

Discover the rich flavors of Hawai‘i’s sugarcane plantation past at Kō, where every dish tells a story. Named after the Hawaiian word for sugarcane, Kō is inspired by a time when immigrants from around the world brought their culinary traditions to the islands.

Blending heritage recipes with local ingredients, this fusion gave rise to what we now know as modern Hawaiian cuisine.

In 2012, acclaimed Chef Tylun Pang brought this vision to life, crafting a vibrant menu rooted in generations of island family recipes — from Hawaiian to Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese, Korean, and Japanese influences. Come taste the soulful journey that defines Kō.
