Kevin crafts each dish with locally inspired flavors, blending artistry and warmth into every plate. By sourcing local ingredients and preparing each element in-house, he creates dishes that are as genuine as it is beautiful.

PAI offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere where we hope you’ll enjoy the moment, connect with loved ones over good food, and feel welcomed as part of our ‘ohana.

Food preparation quality was inconsistent, with some dishes cooked to near-perfection but others just mediocre. Servings of mixed greens in salads were much too large in comparison with the skimpy volume of other salad ingredients. Service staff were efficient, unfailingly attentive, and a pleasure to deal with. Nice atmosphere and pleasant live music.

About the restaurant
We invite you to join us at Beach House by Roy Yamaguchi at Turtle Bay Resort where Hawaii’s royalty swam and relaxed with the turtles. With sweeping views accentuated by two stunning reef points as a backdrop, Beach House guests will dine like royalty in an open- air pavilion that offers an authentic sense of place.

The concept and design for the 140-seat open–air restaurant is a reflection of Yamaguchi's love for white sandy beaches and the ocean. Roy has fond memories of potluck gatherings on the beach with a variety of his family’s favorite dishes- a memory he hopes to create for you at the Beach House.

So please come and indulge in one of our spectacular hand-crafted cocktails or choose from a selection of ice-cold local beers while you discover the fresh ingredients and outstanding seafood, expertly prepared by our local chefs.
