About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
Kō, which translates to sugarcane in Hawaiian, is inspired by the sugarcane plantation era, a time when people from around the world came to the Hawaiian Islands to work in the sugarcane fields. The plantation workers brought recipes and cooking techniques from home, while utilizing the ingredients available to them in the islands. This culinary evolution eventually developed into what is now considered modern Hawaiian cuisine.

In 2012, Kō's concept was brought to life by the esteemed Chef Tylun Pang. Chef Pang passionately led and developed Kō into a cultural melting pot that best represents Hawaiian-style cuisine. The expansive menu features island family recipes that have been passed down for generations - including Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese, Korean, and Japanese favorites.

    We booked for mother’s Day brunch, it booked for 99.00 each. We arrived and was told it was 129.00 per person. The website link show a lobster Mothers Day brunch. Well the website was out dated and it was from last year. Prime rib was served , Korean BBQ Ribs and some other meats . All on the cold side. Not even slightly warm. The desserts were nice and the server was nice . Manager honored the 99.00 price.

    We made reservations for Mother’s Day brunch which was outstanding in food quality and selections, presentation and service. Ryan was our server and stopped by our table often to ask if we needed anything else. When we made the reservation on OpenTable, the price was $99 per person, but the bill reflected $129. Apparently there was a glitch in the OpenTable app that failed to distinguish between the regular brunch price of $99 and the $129 Mother’s Day price. Anyway, Ko honored the lower price which made us happy. We were staying in Kihei and it was our first time being at the Fairmont - the entrance is stunning.

    The ahi on the rock had to be the highlight. It was probably the best ahi we’ve ever had. The cocktails were delicious and refreshing. We had a great table, looking out to the pool. We had the pancit and lau lau and both were really good. Overall it was a lovely experience.

    Drew, our server was excellent. Food was unique and prepared with primarily local ingredients. Like all the resorts in Wailea, not for the budget conscious but worth the splurge.

    Amazing meal, great service- Zarzuela and wayu flank steak with amazing homemade noodles. Mai tais excellent. Beautiful table next to pool for sunset. It would have been perfect. Not the restaurant’s fault (they put candles out just before sunset to possibly prevent ) but an hour in to our meal we had flying bugs around us where we had to swat them away continuously from landing on our table and us. I think our table location which was near outside railing was prime also made us first in line. We decided to have dessert etc elsewhere.
