Hoku's Kahala

"An incredible experience from start to finish. We chose the four course dinner menu and two of the specialty cocktails, a paloma and a prosecco spritz, both very good. Our servers were wonderful, introducing each dish in detail as they were brought out, and with perfect timing so we rarely were left with an empty dish but by no means were we rushed. Everything was just unique and delicious (the only exception to this is an odd pairing of roasted fingerling potatoes accompanying the salmon, such a flavorful dish with a dull side). We are so grateful to have stumbled upon Hoku's and to have had a memorable anniversary dinner thanks to them."

"The experience you get at Hoku’s is special to this restaurant and this restaurant alone. With an open air kitchen you can see and smell everything. From the moment you walk in, Chef Johnny Phan is front and center rallied by his kitchen staff. With a warm greeting they look at you to greet you as soon as you walk through the large doors of Hoku’s. The staff is friendly, kind, and so welcoming. From the moment we sat down we felt special. With great attention to detail, Hoku’s knows how to make every experience something to remember. We got the three course meal as this was our first time with a prefixed menu. As the food rolled out, they make everything timed to your pace. There is no rush or push to finish too quickly or if you’re a faster eater - to slow down. The chef looks into the dining room speaking with wait staff as they check on you, relaying messages from table to kitchen. In most kitchens you would think the noises and sounds would be distracting, but you could not hear a sound. The kitchen works well and cohesively to provide a great ambiance. The food was amazing. As with the experience, the food did not disappoint. It was a good size portion for the quality you’re looking for. The crispy tako with shishito peppers paired so well together. The scallops were cooked perfectly, with a sauce you would not believe. To finish it off we had a crème brûlée dessert with a coconut cookie. The entire meal worked so well together and ended off so nicely. The wait staff was attentive and so kind. No glass went empty and no detail was too small. Thank you to Hoku’s for creating a dining experience we will never forget, and making my sister feel special on her birthday."

"Wonderful food & great service with a beautiful ambiance! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to treat themselves to some fine dining. My wife was surprised that they didn't boast at least 2 Michelin stars!"

"This time a culinary journey took place at Hoku’s Kahala. It’s an elegant and refined, yet comfortable and relaxed restaurant, where exquisite flavors and impeccable presentation came together to create an unexpected dining experience for us. We had a 4-course tasting menu and everything was truly divine, because here we didn’t find food, we found a culinary artwork in every plate of food we had."
