Best Authentic Restaurants in Kawaihae

Paula was fantastic and the food was wonderful. Great service, good food.

Fantastic views of sunset in the East and of the eastern horizon including Maui.

Food, service and ambiance was great. I appreciated the cauliflower gluten free pizza crust option.

Best Japanese food since we were in Kyoto. Well worth a visit to taste fine sake and lovely tasty courses of food. Much cheaper than flying to Japan😉 The menu changes monthly to target the freshest food. Highly recommend. We’ve gone at least 3 times. If given warning, they can accommodate food allergies. My celiac family member was over the moon. Unlike many GF accommodations which remove ingredients with subsequent less tasty food, her GF dishes were delicious! Go for a special experience.

Such a wonderful experience! Tada San, co-owner, led us on a very educational tasting experience of their sake which is made here on Hawai’i Island. The sake was wonderful, his story telling and execution were very insightful. Even the tasting glasses were beautiful. Will definitely be back and bring friends!
