Delicious. The he'e (octopus) here is consistenly well prepared and yummy, and the clams were well balanced with coconut milk. Please find another way to to serve ulu, as the deep fry came out dry and bland.

Unpretentious but stylish restaurant with interesting menu. We came here twice during our visit, and it was one of the highlights. Just felt like the got everything right without being overpriced. Thanks!

My hubby took me to a bday dinner here last week and I’ve got to say that everything we tried here was a 10/10 and took a leap out of the culinary comfort zone, elevating Hawaiian food and letting locally farmed produce shine. I’ve never been so proud to be eating reimagined Hawaiian food, and enjoying a twist on a classic beverage. I’ve already told my gals we are due for a girls night out at this restaurant. The ambiance- 10/10, service 10/10, and the tastiness 12/10. We ordered the ulu and the chicken long rice croquette for starters, and whoa…hello umami bomb!! For our mains we ordered the sausage and clams along with the house bread, the ludovico chicken, and the opakapaka which was a special…we obviously took home food because it was too much but we wanted to try it all. It’s hard to rank all these dishes because everything was so different and tasted amazing. The clear winner tho was the chicken long rice croquette. We haven’t recovered since! We will be back to enjoy their rotating menu. We hear their weekend brunch is a must!

We arrived 10 min early for our reservation and our table wasn't ready . They had us wait at the bar and we had a cocktail but they forgot about us . They figured it out and we were seated late . A waitress took our order and then other waitress came to take our order . We waited for 40 min with no food . Finally food comes and it is our dinner ! They said they put the dinner in as the first items and appetizers as the second. The waitress gave us the option of skipping the appetizers which we did . Then another staff member comes out with the appetizer . They didnt charge us for it but our overall experience was ruined . Nobody ever came and refilled our waters or drinks during the entire time . We paid and left . Food was fine but service was completely unacceptable .

Food is excellent, creative, fresh.... Cool space with easy going vibe and some good art on the walls. Fairly priced, ... I've paid more on the mainland at places that promise more and don't stand out at all.

Genuine island food. First time here. Staff so helpful in navigating menu to help me avoid gluten. Loved the fried Ulu appetizer. You must be slightly adventurous to dine here. No burgers and fries.

Our experience at dinner was far better. Food was mediocre. Nothing stood out except for the breadfruit chips. Luau, hash, banana pancakes and burger were bland, no usual “kick”. Pigs head fried rice was disappointing with too much gristle and fat bits. Server explained the dishes very well but service follow up lacking. We had to instruct her to remove several dirty plates. No refill of drinks or offer to do so. The table was so full of dirty dishes and we waited so long we gave up ordering desserts.
Amazing spot! Original dishes, skillfully prepared, emphasizing local products. Younger crowd, very chill atmosphere. Strongly recommend!

This is one of the better food experiences we had in Hawaii. I love that everything is local and fresh, which they promote, and the staff and service were exceptional. We had a great time here and I highly recommend.
