Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Wade Ueoka & Michelle Karr-Ueoka

From the OpenTable editors: Wife-and-husband team Michelle Karr-Ueoka and Wade Ueoka trained in MICHELIN-Starred kitchens from Napa to NYC before returning home to open what Eater calls one of the most essential restaurants in Honolulu. The airy, second-floor space has a big, bustling dining room for Hawaiian comforts like the signature mochi-crusted kampachi and wagyu beef sliders on housemade mochi buns. Save room for Karr-Ueoka's award-winning desserts, such as a gussied-up mango shave ice.

    Service was perfection. While the gumbo was disappointing the duck was fabulous. Skip the lobster rolls, get instead the rib/foie gras wontons. Yummy.

    Welcoming atmosphere. Always a pleasure dining here. Friendly staff and just enough touch points to address needs, but not overwhelming. Great place to visit with friends and catch up. Food is tasty and I like the mix of favorite staples with the always rotating specials so there is always something new to explore or try once again. Desserts are always good and the parting gift a nice touch.

    Great experience, food was exceptional. It was surprisingly busy for a weekday. Only thing, it felt like we were being rushed to leave.

    The food was the best I’ve had since I had been in a Michelin star restaurant! The service was top notch, our waiter was very much knowledgeable. I had the tasting menu with its wine pairing. Everything cooked and assembled perfectly.
