Best Japanese Restaurants in Kawaihae

we had the panko crusted ahi roll, Hirahara Greens with umeboshi dressing, paia maki roll, AHI Hamachi and salmon nigiri, Hamachi sashimi, rainbow roll, and the 22 O bone in Prime rib. The stand out items were the Prime rib and the Hamachi. Our server Dave was attentive and efficient. Give them a try for an enjoyable diner.

We were a party of 5 adults who enjoyed a fantastic Christmas dinner. Five different entrees, drinks, and three desserts…all delicious! Roy’s Waikaloa has never disappointed, and this experience was at the top of the list. Awesome!!

It was very small groups of tables of 4’s and 2’s. Main server and helper were very nice and explained the various sake we were being served, aging and taste variants. Very informative as I’m not a sake drinker so I learned quite a lot. Food was good and plentiful. Overall a very relaxed pleasant dinner

Canoe House is a special place. The food is truly remarkable. The setting is gorgeous. Our server Dean was outstanding. He really helped make the experience special. He knows the menu and all the ingredients in great detail and was flexible in the way we ordered - allowing is to get half orders of various dishes so that we could create interesting combos. The restaurant is very expensive without a doubt. But they deliver in every way.

Dining at Copper Bar may have been our favorite dining experience on the Big Island! The setting was outstanding with the sunsetting and snorkeled heading out to see the manta rays. The service was outstanding. Our server was warm, knowledgeable, attentive. We loved the music and the beautiful, talented hula dancer made it extra special.
