“ OMG! This chef knows how to tickle the taste buds! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. The food was fantastic. They sure know what wine to pair with what dish! The whole thing was amazing! I did this as part of the Hilton Grand Vacations exclusive event and I highly recommend it! ”

“ Chef Kevin is a science genius! Love every ingredients that touched my palate! And his wife Justine was a wonderful host! Definitely a Michelin star restaurant in my book! Homemade strawberry gelato with velvet cookie for my friend’s birthday was amazing! Thank you I had to lick the bowl!!! Highly recommend it!!! ”

“ We had the chef's fall tasting menu and it was possibly the best meal we've ever had. I'm not sure why they don't yet have a Michelin . The service was impeccable. Two fantastic and knowledgeable waiters tag-teamed to ensure we never had to wait for anything. The decor was minimalist, but being able to look into the kitchen was great. Excellent ambiance. I HIGHLY recommend trying it out. Be warned though, you get what you pay for, so don't expect it to be cheap. ”

“ We celebrated my daughter's birthday at a special Pai event. Each dish was paired with a corresponding drink. The plating was elegant and clean. The flavors were distinct. It was definitely a night to remember. ”

“ My brother in law bought us dinner her for the night of our elopement. This restaurant went above and beyond. They made us personilized menus and gave us a champagne toast for our big day. Portions are small and delicious. Our waiter was very sweet and attentive! Thank you guys for the amazing dinner. ”

“ WOW... and I mean woooooow! We are still here, and we have loved everything!!! We did the Chef's tasting menu, and my oh my....it has been one of the best meals I've had, even better than some Michelin Star restaurants I've been to. The Chef is AMAZING!!! The food is spectacular! I highly recommend to spend a little more and opt for the Chef's tasting menu, it os worth it. ”

“ T.L.D.R: try this place. If you're thinking about it, stop. Just do it. Don't hesitate. Just go. It's worth it. Try the (insert dish here) and you'll be happy. I wanted to bring the wife out to a nice, final meal in Hawaii before heading home the next morning. I landed on this place, so we decided to try it out. We made a reservation with the note that it was for our anniversary, and the exemplary service started there. Within the first hours of the reservation, I received an email asking what my wife's name was because they wanted to put a customized note on the menu. They also asked if there were any dietary restrictions so they could accommodate. I replied with my wife's name and that she's due with our first child, so undercooked meats would be the only thing. Fast forward to our visit, Justine (part owner) greeted us with celebratory drinks while having a non-alcoholic drink available for my wife. She was very courteous and absolutely genuine in every way possible. We asked about some items on the menu for recommendations, and you could tell that she has an absolute passion for what her and her husband (chef) do. After some back and forth, we settled on the ciapinno and the 5 spice pork shoulder. Additionally, I took advantage and tried the caviar for my first time as an appetizer while trying the Thunder gone Rogue to drink. From start to finish, every dish and drink came out with an artistic, beautiful presentation that clearly showed attention to detail and flair to match the outstanding flavors that were presented. My only complaint is I wish I got more of the caviar. We proceeded to clear each plate that we ordered and couldn't stop there. We proceeded to order dessert and wanted to share the Ricotta Malasada. In conversation with Justine, we had mentioned that my wife had been craving fresh fruit lately, so in her thoughtfulness, she insisted that we try the Strawberry panna cotta as well and served both dishes to us. Each dessert had a wonderful depth of flavor that capped our night off with joy. Myself, wife, and child all were satisfied with every bite taken. Justine proceeded to offer us her card so that next time we come back or if we know anyone that is coming back, they can reach out to her and make sure that they have a good time. This is definitely something I plan to take advantage of because she is clearly the type of person that you want to have around. While the food and flavors were incredible, the service gave it the 5 star experience. Definitely will be back. ”

“ Pai Honolulu just celebrated their 8th Anniversary and recently won several awards at the 42nd annual Hale Aina Awards - Gold for Best Wine Program, Bronze for Best Service and was a Finalist for Best Vegetarian Chef Kevin's tasting menus are definitely a treat to experience but I also love just sitting at the bar and indulging in snacks and cocktails The Shrimp Chips with Horseradish Creme Fraiche are a favorite of mine - the chips really do have a yummy shrimpy flavor, not like the ones from the grocery store! ”
