This is a branch Roy Yamaguchi’s Hawaiian restaurants. The menu is primarily seafood with a few meat entrees and the wine list is large and priced from moderate to expensive. The fish are all called by their Hawaiian names but the servers can translate them for you. We shared an assortment of appetizers including the tuna poke which is minced raw tuna with spices & sauces. Other excellent appetizers were the Mongolian ribs, the coconut shrimp, the lobster dim sum, and the blackened ahi tuna. The arugula salad was dressed greens wrapped in prosciutto and topped with shaved parmesan. For an entree I had the dynamite shutome (a mild swordfish) on rock shrimp fried rice. Other tasty dishes were the grouper which was served with fingerling potatoes and greens, and the pink snapper. I loved the pan seared grouper with blue corn grits and portabello mushrooms, and the lemongrass crusted shutome. There were several non-seafood dishes on the menu and someone in our party ordered the rib-eye steak which came nicely grilled and tender. For dessert, we shared the crème brulee with papaya and strawberries, the key lime pie with an incredible coconut crust and the Monkey Business which was a chocolate & banana pie.
