Discover the vibrant allure of Honolulu’s culinary scene at Tempura Ichika, where Michelin-starred chef Kiyoshi Chikano redefines refined dining with an exceptional Tempura Omakase experience. As Honolulu’s sole full-time resident Michelin-star chef, Chikano infuses his deep-fried creations with a perfect blend of tradition and innovation

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Kiyoshi Chikano

From the OpenTable editors: This unique tempura omakase in Honolulu offers a gloriously golden experience. Chef Kiyoshi Chikano trained in Japan before running the MICHELIN-Starred Tempura Matsui in NYC, and he’s mastered lightly battering and delicately frying everything from fresh tiger prawns to crisp chrysanthemum leaves. They’re all coursed out in a warm and minimalist space, where you can either chat with the chefs at a counter or get cozy in a more secluded booth.

Our family of three had the most wonderful experience at Tempura Ichika. The food was beyond my expectation, everything was so lightly battered, so tender and juicy, it’s not something I would imagine from the regular fried food. This was no doubt the highlight of our trip. I will definitely book again the next time we are on the island. Highly recommend!

Tremendous experience from the food, to the Sake, wrapped in refined hospitality. The best versions ever of familiar dishes, shrimp tempura, to stunning combinations of premium ingredients, uni stuffed fried perilla leaf.

An absolutely amazing experience in a beautiful environment with incredible food. Focus is on the main course ( or I should say courses :) ) not dessert, we loved our evening at Tempura Ichika !
