The food was great, with a couple standout dishes in the hamachi crudo, vegetable plate, and brown butter bunny butter mochi. They offered some of the most unique flavor combinations that I've had in a while, which is saying a lot because I've had my fair share of Asian fusion food and prix fixe menus - an especially at a pretty unbeatable price. My husband and I got the supplemental lamb, but the portions were large enough that we both would have been full without it.
Service was also amazing! Our waiter was so kind and thoughtful, and the different courses came out quickly once the previous course was finished. They did a great job explaining what each course was as well as how best to enjoy them. In combination with the intimate ambiance and cozy restaurant setting, it made for a very enjoyable meal experience.
Including a photo of the brown butter bunny butter mochi because it was SO cute.

Got totally surprised when my husband picked this fantastic place for Mother’s Day dinner. What a fantastic experience. Very intimate dining experience, food was 20/10, and the drink selection was superb. Anthony was fantastic in accommodating our dietary needs and making sure we did not feel rushed in making our decision. Food came out as prepared and was absolutely mind blowing. Highly recommend this hidden in plain sight gem

So yummy, each course a flavor bomb! Good price!
Went here for dinner with my husband, ordered the 7 course set menu and added the +$10 lamb add-on.
Every course was yummy and full of flavor. The main ingredients (chicken, lamb, pork belly, etc) of each dish were high-quality and well prepared. But what makes this dinner really special are the unique sauces that flavor each plate. My favorites: the “Miso Sesame Vin” sauce on the sashimi, and the “Shellfish Beurre Monte” sauce on the shrimp. My husband, not at all a veggie lover, even loved the Beet Lotus course (as did I).
For sugar-lovers, recommend adding the ice cream pie. This was like a super high end-carvel ice cream cake with crunchy cookie crumbles and rich rum-chocolate sauce. The coffee ice cream was just the right amount of bitter. (Sous chef recommended combining bites of the bunny dessert with this ice cream, great advice!)
The courses are very reasonable in size, especially for the price and quality. We had leftovers.
The restaurant was not crowded for a Saturday night (guessing because we went late the day before Easter), so The Sous Chef had time to come out and tell us about how the menu was cultivated. His passion for food was obvious. The line cooks here are also the servers, so whoever brought the food to the table was able to answer any questions we might have about ingredients, etc.
We will certainly come here again if we can.

I’m blown away by XO. The quality of this price fixe menu was unbelievable, especially for the price. Every dish had so much attention to detail, flavor, and was generously portioned. The staff is attentive, informative, and hard working. We’ll definitely be coming back!

No complaints! A very good dinner place with your SO or friends
The food was beyond words!! EVERYTHING was awesome!! The pad thai was my personal favorite, full of flavor! If you’re not a fan of spice, make sure to ask for them to dilute the spice a bit (it helps!!). The buttermilk fried chicken was excellent. The mochi samples were great, my favorite being the chocolate, but all of them were surprisingly really good!! AMAZING service. Our server, Derek, was so polite and friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. The dishes have fun food flavors that play with your taste buds! Overall, this is a very unique and underrated restaurant that I would recommend to any vacationers or locals!!

Food here is excellent. Best chicken pad Thai I've ever had. Also one of the cheapest meals we've had on Oahu and cheaper than Maui.
Vandaag geweest met een vriendin
We werden geholpen door bas
Wat een aanwinst
En het brood carpaccio ...heerlijk

Food was delicious and unique. Drinks were good too. Server was attentive and knowledgeable. Some of the best fried chicken I've had which I did not expect. My girlfriend loved the beet lotus.

our company team of food snobs from SF and NYC came here very coincidentally and left WITH OUR JAWS ON THE GROUND at the quality of the $65 prixe fixe menu. the A5 wagyu. the mochi brown butter bunny dessert. the fried chicken. the hamachi collar. we needed a wheelbarrow to get me out of there. RUN, don't walk to this restaurant.

Solid experience for a nicer but not fancy restaurant, and they take a space that's literally a rectangular cube inside and give it some character.
Korean fusion lumpia, beef salad, fried chicken were all very good to excellent, the rest not quite up to the same standard. Bunny mochi is fun but not something you need to have more than once.
