Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Great for outdoor dining

Here at ZIGU, we believe the key to running a successful restaurant is to serve fresh local ingredients. We cook in a Japanese style using only ingredients found here in Hawaii. We will soon be opening our doors to customers. You'll enjoy authentic Japanese cooking and sake either inside our cozy interior or outside our spacious courtyard terrace.

~Important notice for our OHANA ~
We are asking customers to limit their dining experience to 2 hours when we have high volume booking.
＊Happy hour exclusionday: 12/23/2024~1/1/2025

Thank you for your understanding.

This used to be one of our top favorite places for drinks and dinner but everything just seems slightly different now. The potato salad was the best I ever had but has been changed slightly and now is just good and not great. Tempura is not as crispy and perfect anymore, soba smells like it was cooked in tap water and not filtered water now. Just overall something changed in the kitchen. No big welcome when coming in and leaving anymore as well. Still ok to good but not great anymore unfortunately.
