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.

    I had reservations for 7:45pm, was seated at 7:50 and didn’t get water to my table or have anyone stop by until I had to physically get up and call someone over even with the tables next to me and my date being serviced. No one checked in at all until I got up at 8:10 to ask for help. Loud environment and pricey for the food that you get

    The food was good but I didn’t think it was worthy of being the best izakaya or best overall Japanese food on the island. A little expensive for what you get.

    Fantastic experience! Daniel the host took great care of us when we ended up coming late from North Shore. Garret, our server was very attentive, and even grabbed us our parking validation when he gave us our check. Great service and even better food! The miso on the salmon is out of this world! Maybe a little too much kale with the ahi haha! Overall fantastic experience!

    A real treat tucked down a side street. The vibe was lively and relaxed. The service was excellent and very thoughtful. We will be back!

    Watercress salad was terrible, tempura mediocre, and service didn't time out our meal. It all came at once.
