It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and staffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night. read more

Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be seated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing. read more

A co-worker had a gift card that he couldn't use before Nami Kaze closes at the end of October so he gave it to me. Being a single, I made a reservation to sit at the bar. I started with a Botanist gin & tonic ($16), then ordered Sashimi Moriawase ($56) and Ama Ebi ($26). The restaurant was packed so it took a while to get my food ... That was okay we me, I was in no rush. There were 15 nice pieces of sashimi, some ogo, shredded daikon, lemon and lime slices, and the obligatory wasabi and pickled ginger. The fish was fresh and tasty ... My ama ebi was great! The heads were deep-fried perfectly so I was able to consume them without any problems. I loved them! The bartender was personable and attentive. I've been here a number of times and this was my best experience. I'm sad to see them closing. read more

This place was really great! Service was awesome and we had a big group and they were able to accommodate us. I love the layout. The only challenge is parking! It can be a little tricky.

Fun little restaurant located by the pier! I initially came to Nami Kaze when they first opened, so I'm late posting this review. Restaurant is casual, but clean. Staff is super friendly. They have a QR code for the menu and you order from that. When I ate here, we came for brunch. Now, looking at their website, it appears they're only open for dinner, no brunch anymore. There's a nice selection of food items. We were able to order sushi, French toast, tasty desserts among other items. Food was really good. Definitely want to come back and try dinner. read more

Nami Kaze - Tofu - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Last week I had a chance to enjoy an Omakase dinner. Only once before I attended this event (May of 2024) and was informed that each dish was the developed and prepared by one of the sous chefs, or cooks. This time each of the nine courses was inspired by Jason Peeel. Each course was delicious, the ambiance was lively and friendly and the whole affair was an exceptional meal. The first course consisted of Hokkaido Scallop with finger lime. This set the stage for the following courses: Oyster with Hau'uka tomato, Hawaiian Kampachi and shiso, Hawaiian Big Ete Tuna-Hudson Valley Foie, Kauai Prawns-yuzu, Smoked Trout Roe-Hakurei Radish, Beef-sushi Rice, Lamb Loin-Roselle, Ikura-mushroom and a Mango cream dessert. Each course elevated the expectation for the next course and each came through for a magnificent meal. read more

My boyfriend and I had the best dinner experience at Nami Kaze the other day! [Ambiance] Nami Kaze is impeccably clean, stylish and aesthetically pleasing. There is plenty of free parking close by. Two single room restrooms. Plenty of seating. Tip: Make a reservation ahead of time if you can! My boyfriend and I just walked in and got seated fairly quickly; however, the place got busy as the night progressed. [Food] My boyfriend and I mostly ordered off the sushi menu. We tried sushi rolls, samplers and the early grey basque cheesecake. The fish was exceptional in freshness, flavor and appearance. The cheesecake was pretty good too! My boyfriend loved the sakes that were recommended to him by our server (Kainalu, I think). [Service] From the host to the server, everyone was hardworking, efficient and kind. The team here is one oiled machine. They all appear to enjoy their jobs--made me want to apply! We will most definitely be back, maybe for brunch next time? read more

I've been to Nami Kaze before and had a wonderful experience -- I forgot to leave a review the first time, but I'm back again and it's still just as amazing! I really appreciate how they incorporate farm-fresh ingredients and change up the menu regularly. It keeps things exciting and seasonal. One of my favorite things about dining here is the seating setup -- being able to sit in front of the chefs and watch them work their magic adds a whole new layer to the experience. This time, two standout dishes were the scallop and escargot -- everything was incredibly fresh, tender, and literally melted in my mouth. The flavors were on another level; I've never had anything quite like it! . read more

Highlights are free parking however if you want to park close to restaurant then it's little more difficult to park close, very nice staff, tasty offerings but very pricey. We made reservations via open table so that made things easy. The restaurant is cozy with seating for smaller parties. Staff are very attentive. Best kids menu I have seen with many choices for the kids. Adult menu has a few things with high prices which makes this place a kinda "come here for special occasions". We were a party of six and decided to order a bunch of appetizers and entrees to share. The sushi dishes were delicious. The short rib was tender with tons of flavor. Kids dishes were generous in portion size. Everything tasted really good. Dessert was unique local and tasted refreshing. Will definitely return to try other things on this menu! read more

Nothing short of Amazing. A very well thought out menu very with thoughtful pairings. If you are picky and want to omit or change things, please do not come here. There is no reason. These ingredients are paired well and any changes would be a complete failure on your part, or just eat off the kids menu. The Foie Gras- absolutely wonderful. So this is meant to be eaten with your bread that is served. Put the foie gras on the bread slices and put all the almonds and bbq gel and lychee on it and eat it in a couple of bites all paired together. You will get an explosion of flavors and textures. The Lobster pasta was so good. Those deep roasted and smokey flavors leave a wonderful bite in your mouth. A fairly large portion and the lobster was so tender. The Kanpachi was the absolute winner tonight. That beurre blanc was so amazing, that we needed it bottled to Come home with us. In many restaurants you will see beurre blancs with oil specs (not a beurre blanc) ans usually broken. It is also difficult to keep a blanc from not breaking fro kitchen to table. This was absolutely perfect. It is so simple and so delicious. The fish, white and flakey and cooked Perfectly!! The green beans were perfectly cooked and those spiced almonds were incredible. The only complaint I have for this dish is that a I had to share it and I did not get my own plate. We could not get enough. The specialty rolls were good and had a different take on flavors than you Would normally be used too. Very good. We ordered the Tsunami and the Krusty Krab. We did get two kids menu orders which was Hosomkai which are smaller rolls . There were 12pcs and the cucumber roll didn't hit perfectly . The ume shiso wasn't our favorite paring with the cucumber. The miso was so good. The miso was so rich and so yummy. The ube cookies and cream gelato were banging good. The bar area is beautiful, this place is beautiful and laid out thoughtfully. Loved the open kitchen . Note the Chef. Please have a blind tasting menu and try it on our family and other patrons. You are amazingly talented and would love to eat in a blind bliss of your fun and unique pairings!! I know you well sell out!! 5 people 2 adults-3 growing boys (who ate every single thing) 1 alcoholic beverage . Before tip $248.15 read more

Attentive and great energy. * Free parking, we love that! The Bad: * Pricey, of course... understandably for delicious and fun food The Weird: * It really is an interesting location for such beautiful food and great interior architecture.

What an excellent experience!! My husband and I came here on a Friday night for a 630p reservation and were seated right away at the bar. I sat closer to where the food was coming out, so it was a little warmer than if we sat in the main dining room, but it was no big deal. And I got to see all the food coming out! We ordered 6 items from the menu to share and the hamachi crudo is something I will never forget. We also got the pickled beet salad which was SO good when you dipped the House Japanese Milk Bread. I also ordered the chawanmushi, corn (I'd skip these), and the lukki nana (25/10). This was filling enough to share with my husband to achieve the right amount of full. The service was also excellent--our server was so attentive and so friendly, it was like eating at a friend's house. It's a shame this place is closing because this was easily one of the best meals I've had. read more

Nami Kaze - I I am on a mission to try everything on the menu. The next time I visit.. - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Definitely our new favorite restaurant across the Islands (Kenichi Pacific was until now). I can't tell you how much this broke da mouth other than that. We're meat eaters, but fave for sure was the Ulu Tots and the Cabbage Salad. The Miso Butterfish was so flaky and tender, the Tsu'nami roll and Kanpachi Crudo were also excellent. We sat by the sushi bar, which was great, seeing that they have an open kitchen, nothing to hide, and totally profesh. Service was quick, attentive and kind, it didn't seem like they were only working for tips; it didn't seem fake Can't wait to go back! read more

If I could give Nami Kaze more than 5 stars, I would! I came here with a big group of about 15 friends to celebrate a birthday, and from start to finish the experience was flawless. First off, the staff deserves huge recognition. Handling a party our size can be tricky, but everything flowed seamlessly. Drinks were always refilled, dishes came out hot and beautifully plated, and the energy of the service matched the celebratory vibe of the night. The food? Absolutely incredible. We decided to order a variety of dishes and go family style, which was the best decision we could have made. Every single plate that hit the table was a winner. From the fresh seafood to the inventive small plates and mains, it felt like a culinary tour of flavors--unique, thoughtful, and executed perfectly. Nobody at the table had the same favorite dish because they were ALL standouts. The atmosphere is modern yet welcoming, with a lively energy that makes it perfect for group gatherings while still feeling intimate enough for a date night. Add in the fact that you're dining right in Honolulu with a gorgeous setting, and it's hard to imagine a better spot for a special occasion. All 15 of us walked away raving about the night, which says it all. Nami Kaze exceeded every expectation, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for anything from birthdays to casual nights out. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in Honolulu. Definitely recommend! read more

I was able to book a brunch reso the day before. Sat at the sushi counter to get a view of the kitchen. Let's get straight to the food. 4 course prefix menu. Choose starter and main. Amuse was their take on like a mapo tofu without the sour chili oil heat. Omg YES! Yes, yes, yes! This should be a whole main course with a bowl of hot rice. Starter, onion soup. Cute little mug. Flavorful broth with just enough cheese and bread soaked inside. Loved how I could just pick up the mug and drink the soup toward the end. Main (this was tough to choose. Wish I had a bigger stomach to try it all). Honey Walnut Shrimp Waffle. YES! You heard that right. Best part? It all worked together. From the green granny apples to the micro greens to the savory from a classic Chinese banquet dish to the sweet fluffy/ crunchy waffle all served in a bed of nice GOOD maple syrup. It was like a melting pot of flavors that I savored every bite. Yum YUM! Last course, dessert. Caramel macchiato (sp?) Salted Caramel and I forget the other ingredients but the cake was just spongy and soft and not too sweet and was a perfect finish to the meal that left no crumbs behind. DD had the steamed Egg which was just absolutely divine that she refused to trade with me despite how much she loved my soup. Her ahi burger was...IDK. It was so good that I never got a bite from her. Fries were thick crunchy and nicely salted Definitely going to come back again. Their menu changes...seasonally I believe the serve said. No complaints. Kudos to all the guys in the kitchen taking so much pride in their craft, plating ea dish with attention to detail and care. read more

Check in: We dined on a Sunday evening and the food and service remain as excellent as always. For a family occasion, it was delightful to discover that the menu is more izakaya style now, perfect for sharing. We ordered kampachi, black cod, soft shell crab appetizer, beet salad, roasted cauliflower and braised short ribs. The fish (both dishes) were perfectly cooked and the short ribs were exquisite. The veggie dishes were all great including the beet salad. The only off note was that the soft shell crab was heavily battered rather than being light/crispy. Overall, a great meal with excellent service. Nami Kaze continues to impress us. read more

Always wanted to try this fusion brunch place! We went for a pre-wedding get together. Located near Pier 38, a true hole in the wall of you're not being observant. Free parking around the restaurant in marked stalls. Missed the entrance a few times trying to locate it because their sign is not really that noticeable. A simple exterior that matches the other places around it, but once you step in, it is sleek and modern. What a vibe! I ordered the Shrimp Banh Mi Sando. Was expecting a banh mi with the baguette and shrimp inside but it's basically a shrimp burger on a brioche bun with pickled do chua (carrot & daikon), lettuce, tomato, and kewpie mayo with their house chili gel. Comes with side of fries or salad but I had to get the fries of course! Burger was actually really good! I thoroughly enjoyed it with the, what seemed like, twice fried and coated crispy fries. Would get again. Friends got the Honey Walnut Shrimp Waffle & Shrimp Toast Benedict (deconstructed Benedict with a sous vide egg and Hollandaise sauce for dipping). They were both okay. Wish there was a little more shrimp on top the waffle & the syrups were a little too sweet for me but the shrimp & waffle work well together, surprisingly! The waffle was not as crispy as I would have liked. The shrimp toast Benedict was interesting. You dip the toast into the hollandaise/egg mix. We also got the Lilikoi Crunch pancake, Negi Ham-mah, and the Marinated Eggplant Salad to share. Wow! I loved the Lilikoi crunch pancakes! What a burst of tart, passion fruit flavor and those crunch pieces, delectable! So good taking a bite with all components. Negi Ham-mah (roll with charred scallion ginger hamachi and torched hamachi with a soy chili gel) had a perfect mix of textures and flavors that worked well together. Didn't need extra shoyu at all! I usually don't like eggplant but this one was good! A little vinegary and salty from the marinade with daikon on top, refreshing! I would definitely get the Lilikoi pancakes and the Shrimp Banh Mi Sando again! Can't wait to try some of their other brunch items! read more

I've always seen this place on my Instagram since I love seeing restaurants using local ingredients and creating a little twist to it! I went on a Friday night to treat my little shawty for their birthday dinner, and it was DEFINITELY POPPING (very busy). Despite being located next to the spooky docks at night, they had a very, pleasing, modern ambiance which would be great for a girls night out or date night! I highly recommend booking ahead on their website since it gets busy. It can be a little pricey, but it is worth the experience since the seafood was very fresh and they look like they collaborate with other local businesses like Asato Sorbet and Okazu Ma. We got - Ulu Tots ($13) - Oysters ($14) - smaller than what we expected - Lobster Chawanmush ($16) - Steamed Hawaiian Kanpachi ($42) - Krusty Krab Rolls ($26) - Vanilla Chiffon ($8) - Asato Family Sorbet ($6) *BONUS POINTS* - updated menu for brunch and dinner menu on their website - easy adjustments for reservations - amazing service - good idea for girls night out, date night, or just to treat yourself *PARKING* -plenty of parking -just be careful of driving at night since there's not that many painted arrows or lines that could be one-way roads, along with a few stop signs. read more

We didn't read the bio/description of the restaurant enough before choosing to come here (our fault). We were in Oahu for a few days and that day was my dad's birthday. We saw it was a sushi spot, so we stopped by and celebrated there. We didn't realize that it's a quality-over-quantity food experience. We ordered multiple dishes that we killed instantly LOL. It was kinda embarrassing for us, but still a dope place for a date night or something like that. The owner said he was also from the Bay Area so shoutout to him and for hooking it up for my dad's birthday. But also the extremely helpful and friendly servers assisting too! read more

Made reservations for a Thursday night for two at the sushi counter. We dropped in a bit earlier and they sat us right away. The server was very polite and suggested some of his favorite dishes. We ordered a sake and beer, I didn't take a pic of the drink menu so I forgot, but we also ordered a hamachi roll (that changed our lives) it was flavorful and acidic and the perfect bite, we ordered ahi-cold (maguro with natto, okra and yamaimo) Kanpachi crudo, Hokkaido scallops with basil pesto risotto changed me and eggplant hot plate. We also ordered the Maia-lo-ffee (apple cookie crumbl) for dessert. Everything was made with so much thought put into it and what's very fascinating Is that from the sushi counter, you can see how the kitchen staff move swiftly and even the waiters are also supporting the cooking staff. seems like a fun place to work. read more

I love asian fusion food and had very high expectations.. which is maybe why i was a little disappointed. The ambiance is nice, however our server was not very attentive to our table even though it was empty on a random Tuesday night. In terms of food, we got: Ulu Tots: this was disappointing, not very crispy and a little bit salty Cabbage salad: this was my favorite of the night. a little spicy but very flavorful. Salmon: i think it was a special? salmon was dry but the vegetables were amazing and the presentation was nice. Short Rib: boyfriend got the short rib and i loved his!!! would get this dish read more

So this follow up review is for their dinner, up til now I've only been here for brunch and really liked it. As far as dinner goes, it's good, some highs and some not so highs but I wouldn't consider anything a low. The evening started out with their Nihon Negroni which was really tasty. Japanese gin and vermouth with some suze in it...delicious. I really like the small flower shaped cutout made from lemon skin that was floating on the ice, a nice touch. For the meal we decided on getting multiple plates and having them family style... Roasted Shishito Peppers Hamachi Crudo Oysters Nigiri sampler (x2) Pork Belly Octopus Kara'age Beef Cheeks I think the highs of the meal were the peppers and the hamachi, with the octopus being my favorite. The crunchy exterior with the tender interior was perfect. And the presentation of it being the entire leg was eye catching for sure. The good but not so highs were the beef cheeks (on the tough side) and the nigiri sampler. While pretty tasty, each sampler came with 4 different pieces of nigiri so we ended up having to get 2 samplers so we could both try each different type. At $38 for one sampler of 4 pieces, it's probably something I wouldn't order again. All in all, the dinner experience was really nice but for the next time, I'd probably stick with brunch. read more

A friend recommended this place awhile back and we finally made it. It's rare I don't read the reviews, but such was the case this time. I thought it was a lunch plate type of spot. Oh, was I wrong! This place is on the upper scale side. No judge from outside, walk in for da wow. Great service and great tasting food. If you follow me you know I find well balanced medley of flavors and meats cooked correctly a higher priority. This place delivered with both the dishes and cocktails. True 5 stars. read more

The island hopper cocktail is delicious. Limited gluten free options but they do exist. Food is great. My husband wanted to order the salmon but it was not available. He went with the kanpachi instead. He said the grilled grape was a flavor he had never had before. He enjoyed it. The fish was perfectly cooked. The portion size was just right. The okra pieces were flavorful but tiny. Perfect size for the dish, but smaller than the Louisiana born gent was expecting. It was so good, he finished off everything. The ponzu butter was on point. Thank you for the surprise birthday sorbet. I would have still been happy with a candle in the hamachi roll. . The hamachi crudo was my favorite dish of the night. Next up was the scallops with basil pesto risotto. Park in the gravel parking lot to the left before reaching the restaurant or on the street if any spots are available. On a random note... the table next to us and behind us ended up being medical professionals. As diners in the same professional field, we enjoyed the overheard banter. We are recent transplants to the area. My husband said "we are going to fit it very well here, we have found our happy place". read more

Our meal here was sooooo good. So lucky to have stumbled across it after a quick google search. Nami Kaze is an izakaya styled Japanese fusion joint with very cool dishes. The menu has a bit for everyone, from fish/meat to veggies. Both cold/hot plates that play with flavors. My sister and I were both able to enjoy according to our dietary abilities (she's a vegetarian and I am not). The standout was the Lobster escargot style, which I've never had anything similar to in my life. Extremely rich, buttery, and delicious! Would 100% return to try other menu items. read more

My first food visit after touching down in Oahu, our first stop was to Nami Kaze. Not a super long drive from the airport, but certainly need a car to get there aunce it's at one of the furthest Piers away from the main city area. It's an Asian fusion diner style kind of a place, with several offerings available. The menu isn't huge, but do note the place is pretty nice, so you're probably paying for some of the ambience here, though it's not bad. The staff here were very friendly as we got here quite late from our delayed flight, so it was right at their 1:30pm afternoon rest time. Anyways, let's jump into the food. I got The People's Choice, which seemed to be the favorite here, but also hands down the best value on the menu, and for good reason. This is a set that comes with a variety of things, such as a small bowl of poke, pickled cucumbers, potato salad, rice, and a bowl of karaage. The karaage was quite yummy, as the batter and the taste of the chicken were all on point. You also get a decent amount of chicken even though it's part of a set. The poke was also nice, as you get to pick from a few flavors too from the list. I went with the garlic miso today which was part sweet, though I do wish it was more savory. The cucumbers were quite refreshing too. In addition, got their yuzu ginger soda. Overall, Nami Kaze was a nice experience as my first dining venture on the island. While most of the other items on the menu (particularly the sushi) seemed a bit more than I expected, The People's Choice really stood out comparatively when taking into account price and versatility of what you get from other stuff on the menu. When taking that into consideration, great place to start off your eating venture. read more
