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.
It was definitely a night to remember.

Pai Honolulu just celebrated their 8th Anniversary đ„ł 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 đ 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 đ 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!

Every element of the dinner was beyond expectation and easily deserving of 5 stars. Service was exceptional, the music selection perfect AND the food was absolutely amazing. This is the place to go if you are looking for a special dinner.

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.

Wow. 3 star Michelin chef making personalized dishes just for your table. Order ala carte or prix fixe 3 5 or 7 courses. Small, modern, light interior and ambience makes for a relaxing experience where the food creativity really sparkles. As vegans we especially like the dedication to this cuisine. It's so much more than an afterthought. The non veg dishes are also superb according to our friends. Consider yourself lucky to enjoy world class food.

Chef Kevin Lee at PAI Honolulu is hands down one of the best chefs Iâve had the pleasure of experiencing. Every dish was not only beautifully presented but packed with unique flavors that blew me away. You can really feel his passion for blending local Hawaiian ingredients with modern techniquesâit makes each bite unforgettable.
The whole experience, from the food to the warm atmosphere, was perfect. If youâre looking for an amazing culinary adventure in Honolulu, Chef Kevin Lee wonât disappoint!
Staff are all very attentive and accommodating. Justine has very good wine pairings with the Chefs Tasting Menu. My husband's Duck Confit dish was his favorite. He wants to go back and have it again.

Always an excellent dining experience at Pai. The food is creative and delicious. It's fun to sit at the counter and watch the kitchen create their masterpieces. Looking forward to going back soon.
This restaurant deserves Michelin stars! They have many local awards displayed and rightfully so. We had dinner at PAI HNL with some friends , it was delightful! The Chilled corn soup with crabmeat was oh so good! A large potion of crab and pickled grapes in the soup was a culinary delight! The braised beef was so soft and tender. It just melted in you mouth! The panna cotta finished the meal with a bang. Service was excellent! A must try for everyone, truly an amazing experience for the tastebuds!

Delicious. Chef Kevin was amazing. Excellent and creative dishes.
We were fortunate enough to snag a table for Paiâs Christmas Eve chefâs tasting menu. Our evening could not have been more perfect! Justine assured we were well attended to, and Chef Kevin curated an inventive yet accessible menu to treat us for the evening. Although itâs hard to pick a favorite, the tako and watermelon was a standout. My fiancĂ© opted for the mocktail pairing, and it was clearly well crafted and not just an afterthought (as many mocktails are). The wine pairings were also very tasty, so any choice would be a good one! We felt like part of the family and also very spoiled; we canât wait to return!
