I have never had food of this caliber. Simply outstanding. We attended with a large group of Hilton vacation club owners.

This was one of the best dining experiences my wife and I have ever had. The flavor profiles, creativity of ingredients, and presentation were top notch. We did a full testing menu, with each dish paired to a complimentary wine. It was absolutely spectacular. My wife literally, and involuntarily, giggled when first trying both the first and second course. I asked after the second time and she said that it was just so good she couldn’t help it. This happened on each course but one. I had never witnessed her do this before and haven’t since.

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.

Very well executed menu with varied complex flavors and textures that are expertly balanced by the Chef.

Service and food were exceptional. We enjoyed the chef's delicious creations incorporating local ingredients and style, the top-tier service and the intimate ambiance. We look forward to coming back again!

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. 🌺✨

Went there for the restaurant week tasting menu and wine pairing. It was out first time and we had a lovely dinner! Service was wonderful. Will definitely come back to try out other seasonal menu in the future!

We celebrated my mother’s 60th birthday here and had a phenomenal time. The space was cozy and intimate, as if it were a completely private dining experience, and the Pai Honolulu team went above and beyond to make our celebration special. Chef Kevin’s menu is carefully curated. the dishes are beautiful, and everything we ate was absolutely delicious. We especially loved the carrots (which we learned came from his own garden)! I’d highly recommend celebrating a special occasion here!!

Simply the best meal I've had in my life. I'm still thinking about it weeks later. The service was also phenomenal.
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.
It was definitely a night to remember.

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!
