    We used the restaurant with a small child, so we were worried that we might cause inconvenience to the restaurant. As a result, we were warmly welcomed by very helpful and friendly waitstaff and had the best travel memories. If I ever come to Hawaii again, I will definitely use this restaurant. Thank you very much.

    If you want to go to one fine dining establishment while in Honolulu, Mugen is it! An intimate, well designed dining room sets the tone. The service is friendly and very professional. Every dish that was served was perfect. This six course dining experience was exceptional. Try the foie gras sandwich...simply the best. All of the service staff and a visit from the chef made the visit a memorable evening. If Michelin ever starts reviewing Hawaii restaurants, Mugen would earn three stars!

    I did the vegan tasting menu and my husband did the meat tasting menu and they were both incredible. You cannot share because the portions are small but the flavor is worth it. We added on the wine pairing and it was all very well thought out!
