We had a great time. Service started a bit slow but its understood given the holidays and limited staff. The food was outstanding with innovative flavours that worked. I was blown away by the Moroccan red wine that paired perfectly with the salmon. The oysters with the passion fruit vinaigrette was just out of this world. Yum!!! Chef Kevin Lee really knew how to put food together in harmony. Definitely would go back.

Went to Pai Honolulu for Restaurant Week and WOW!! every course was unreal. Creative, flavorful, beautifully plated, and honestly one of the best meals I've had on Oahu. The staff made the whole experience feel special, and the cocktails were just as impressive as the food. If Restaurant Week is meant to showcase the best of Honolulu dining, Pai absolutely nailed it. I'm already planning my next visit. 🌺✨

Dining at Pai was an experience I'll never forget. We ordered the set menu with 5 delectable courses . Every bite was an explosion of favors in a unique interesting way. Who knew squid luau encased in pasta could be so delicious? My fav! The space was small but could be cozier. The service was phenomenal. Both servers were friendly, genuine and knowledgeable. We got to see Chef all night who do his magic all by himself. At the end of the evening we got to meet him and thanked him. We were so full and so happy we found Pai Honolulu!

The staff, food and wine were amazing! My daughters had mocktails which were also delicious.

We celebrated my daughter's birthday at a special Pai event.
Each dish was paired with a corresponding drink. The plating was elegant and clean. The flavors were distinct.
The most inventive and delicious fine dining experience on island. Elevated Hawaiian Regional Cuisine. Sublime and creative.

Pai Honolulu just celebrated their 8th Anniversary 🥳 and recently won several awards at the 42nd annual Hale Aina Awards - Gold for Best Wine Program, Bronze for Best Service and was a Finalist for Best Vegetarian 👏 Chef Kevin's tasting menus are definitely a treat to experience but I also love just sitting at the bar and indulging in snacks and cocktails 😊 The Shrimp Chips with Horseradish Creme Fraiche are a favorite of mine - the chips really do have a yummy shrimpy flavor, not like the ones from the grocery store!

All dishes on menu are creatively and perfectly prepared. Nothing dry or mediocre. We ordered the five course and three course menus and each dish was a surprising delight. Cocktails were original and also delightful. Very attentive service. We dine here as often as possible.

My brother in law bought us dinner her for the night of our elopement. This restaurant went above and beyond. They made us personilized menus and gave us a champagne toast for our big day. Portions are small and delicious. Our waiter was very sweet and attentive! Thank you guys for the amazing dinner.
