I've had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at Paris Hawaii twice now - last year and this year. Though I have to admit that this year's May menu wasn't quite as amazing as last year's, we still had an incredible experience from the service to the ambiance. It's island-French fusion with a seasonal prix fixe menu, and we were honestly a little skeptical since fusion cuisine usually misses the mark for us. But this turned out so well, and the ingredients complemented each other perfectly. The interior is minimal yet sophisticated, and the thoughtful details, from the lighting to the dishware, really stood out to us. They know how to make birthdays feel special, so it's definitely a go-to spot for celebrations. read more

Must try. Absolutely impressed! Open kitchen restaurant with minimal staff that can host up to ~10 guests/ course. Every item was fantastic, a ton of flavors, and actually enough to make you feel completely satisfied. We haven't had a prix fixe experience in a while where we enjoyed every single item. For ex, grilled shrimp may seem like a normal shrimp..no. It was grilled over charcoal/wood indoors and holy smokes it was a flavor bomb. Same with the rest. Could've done with one more lamb though! Service is impeccable. 2 gentlemen cared for everyone and it felt very private and personalized. Better service and intimate feeling more than the star restaurants I've been to. $150pp and we got ~ 5 glasses of wine and opted out of wine pairing. ~$500 bill plus tip, but it's worth it. Highly recommend you give it a try for a fancy night out. Parking available for $5 for 4 hours with voucher. We'll be back every quarter! read more

Amazing hospitality! Total attention to detail and to your every move. Located in Salt it Kaka'ako makes parking easy! No big sign but easy to find lower level. The single counter dining is slightly sterile, read more

This review is long overdue for my first visit to Paris in Kakaʻako. It's such a cute restaurant with an intimate, cozy atmosphere -- the kind of place that immediately makes you feel like you've discovered a small secret. Service was truly top-notch. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the entire experience feel effortless. And the food... absolutely stunning. This is the kind of cuisine you savor with both your eyes and your tastebuds. Every dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that were elegant yet comforting. For a first visit, Paris definitely left an impression -- and I'm already looking forward to coming back. read more

If there was a Michelin Guide for Hawaii, this amazing restaurant would be included. All seating is at the counter so guests can see the chefs in action. Every course was amazing. My favorite dish was the Washugyu tenderloin. Cooked over kiava wood (what we call mesquite in California), it was one of the best steaks I have had anywhere. Service was perfect. Wine pairings were well chosen. It's a little bit difficult to find because the addresses on this street are not easily visible, but it's well worth the effort. I most highly recommend Paris.Hawaii for fine dining. read more

Had a wonderful experience at PARIS.HAWAII. Everything was delicious from course 1 to course 8. The sauces, the aroma, the presentation...all so good! Customer service was great with every dish being explained when presented and I never had to ask to have my sparkling water refilled. Haha. I liked the open kitchen concept to see the Chef's at work. It's hard to imagine that this same space used to be Hank's Haute Dogs! Lol I was told the menu will change up in mid-November so I'll be back then! Parking at SALT and they have the QR code inside for validation. read more

The world food tour duo made their first visit to Paris Hawaii in SALT. It's the old Hank's Haute Dog location totally remodeled. A white counter dominates the space, surrounding an open kitchen. There are several tables along Coral Street, which is where we were seated. Kazu-san was our host and server and there were two people working in the kitchen. We opted for a bottle of 2021 Othello from Dominus Estate ($120) versus the two wine pairings ($50 for 3 or $80 for 4 glasses). I started with a glass of Arnot-Roberts Rosé wine ($16) as it was National Rosé wine day. This inexpensive wine from Clear Lake (CA) was crisp and refreshing. The Othello red bled was somewhat closed in but got better with air. It was full of dark fruit but lacked much of a nose. The Prix Fixe menu ($85pp) consisted of eight courses with several options to choose from, which I will cover during the courses. Course 1: Jerky / Poke / Sable. Three petite bites of food sat atop a bowl of rocks, interesting. The beef jerky was tender, yet with texture. The ahi poke came in a black, edible cup; Kazu-san told us what it was, but I didn't hear him clearly enough to recall. The sable reminded me of a shortbread cookie with a piece of jalapeno. I thought of this as an amuse bouche; perhaps that was their intention. Course 2: Kona Kampachi. Four pieces of Kampachi sashimi sat amongst pieces of asparagus, mango and smoked ikura with edible flowers decorating the plate. I added caviar ($40) to my dish. There was also the option for uni ($30). This was food as art and the flavors were sublime! The asparagus was tender yet retained its crunch ... perfection. Course 3: Bouillabaisse. This was a deconstructed soup, with pieces of carrot, dill, sea asparagus, watercress, finger lime, horseradish mayo, fennel, potato, salt, pepper and garlic flower placed on the rim of the large plate. Kazu-san poured the soup into the center of the plate, and one was free to add ingredients as one saw fit. The broth was delicate and each little tidbit added to the mélange of flavors. Course 4: Onaga or Lobster (additional $15). We both chose the red snapper and were not disappointed. A perfectly cooked piece of fish with crispy skin sat atop pieces of cauliflower and a beurre blanc sauce. This dish was wonderful! Kazu-san brought each of us a plate of warm bread with a dab of flavored butter. This bread was "to die for" delicious. I could have eaten many more pieces. Course 5: Jidori Chicken or U.S. Wagyu Tenderloin (additional $25). We ordered both ... each sat atop pieces of crisped Okinawa sweet potato and Champignon duxelles. My chicken was flavorful and moist. The tenderloin had a great crust. I don't know how they did that with such a small piece of tenderloin. Course 6: Risotto. A small bowl of goat cheese and mushroom risotto followed ... I wished it was served along with course 5 as it would have complemented my chicken. Goat cheese, an interesting choice for risotto. I loved it. Course 7: At this point I was ready to tap out ... I was stuffed! A small bowl of acai with pieces of strawberry, blueberry, and honey atop the granola. I left it to the better half of the world food duo to polish off my bowl. Course 8: A slice of chocolate terrine topped with a quenelle of vanilla ice cream with macadamia nuts and dust concluded this feast. This one went home. What did we think? This was a great meal at a very reasonable price. We've spent much more and received far less at other places in Honolulu. Service by Kazu-san was attentive but unobtrusive. I just wished more diners were there to experience a wonderful tasting experience. Food as art personifies Paris Hawaii! read more

This hidden gem is where French fine dining meets island flavors -- and it's next level. Get ready for locally sourced ingredients , artful plates , and a prix fixe menu that'll have you saying "oui!" with every bite. From Kona kanpachi to Wagyu beef tenderloin and that housemade chocolate terrine -- it's a full-on flavor trip you'll never forget. It is small and cozy... mostly bar style seating so you get a show of the kitchen. Only two seatings, one at 5 and the other at 7:30. So make reservations. The service is spectacular, but to be expected due to the high end intimate setting. Perfect for a date night or special occasion. Pro tip: wine pairing also available, such a great deal for the wines we got read more

We had a wonderful dinner here last night. Innovative cuisine- who knew that mushroom broth could be so tasty, and complement an heirloom carrot so well. We had ahi poke made with fresh strawberries which sounds strange but turned out to be a revelation. Mashed potatoes with different kinds of seaweed was also a creative salty umami creation. Overall, an 8 course tasting menu with all winners and no misses with great friendly unobtrusive service. Warning - Uber sends you to the wrong address when you put the name of the restaurant in - check the address instead! The restaurant is aware but hasn't been successful at getting Uber to fix the problem. read more

My wife, friends, and I visited Paris Hawaii for a friend's birthday and had an incredible evening. The tasting menu was thoughtful and beautifully executed from start to finish, and the four-glass wine pairing complemented each course perfectly. Every dish showed creativity and balance -- the Kahuku corn soup and carpaccio were highlights -- but the extra selections truly stood out. We added the garlic lobster and the duck breast, both of which were exceptional. The service was polished yet friendly, and the intimate ambiance made the night feel special. A wonderful dining experience in Honolulu that blends French technique with local Hawaiian ingredients. read more

PARIS.HAWAII (NOTE: Keep in mind that this was from January 2025, and their menu changes every season. I also would have gone back every season, but they couldn't even thank me for coming, hitting like, and/or supporting their business on Instagram. Remember, thank you goes a LONG way! Especially when it was Tasting Menu $120/guest Wine Pairing $70/guest (not including tax and tip)! If you know me, I don't usually post much of my private life on social media, but I celebrated another year around the sun! I also don't care for most fine dining (high makamaka) places because of their high price, small portion sizes, perceived pretentiousness, discomfort with formal atmosphere, and feeling of being judged by the staff or other guests, but I think @paris.hawaii changed my mind! I hoped to get my hands on one of Chef's Nana-Tsu-Mori Pinot Noir, but he hand-picked me three wines! My experience at @paris.hawaii was amazing! It was sophisticated with soft lighting, intimate with limited seating, and a lovely ambiance setting. The dishware and silverware were also stunning, and I enjoyed the interior design and architecture. I valued the culinary techniques and presentation by Chef Yuya @yuyayamanaka0214 . Each course was noteworthy, with a delicate balance of culinary excellence, attentive service, and cleanliness. Overall, it was an unforgettable dining experience, and I can't wait for their next season's menu!!! ~10 Course Munu~ * BEEF JERKY Local beef, horseradish * WATERCRESS Watercress, clam, herb *AHI POKE Ahi, beef, shallot, whole wheat flour, raw sugar, eggs, butter * TROPICAL FRUITS Medai, fermented tropical fruits * CARROTS AND SPICES Roasted Chicken, brussels sprouts, carrot, spices * SHAVED ICE Local tomato * MUSHROOMS King Salmon, local mushrooms, maitake mushrooms * CHEF YUYA'S FRESH BREAD, sea asparagus butter * KIAWE WOOD GRILL Local beef with red fruit juice sauce, chicken broth sauce, burdock puree * ACAI BOWL Acai, strawberry, blueberry, granola, honey * TARTS Whole wheat flour, raw sugar, eggs, butter, almond flour, fresh almonds The Ahi Poke and Shaved Ice were interestingly good!

Paris Hawai'i is back!!! Used to go to the old location in Waikiki and really missed their food when they closed. New spot in Salt Kakaako is small but cozy and the French food with Japanese and local flavors are as wonderful as ever. They serve a $85 pre fixe menu and were able to accommodate my shell fish allergy. You can choose to change the menu by adding things like lobster or uni for an additional cost. Each dish was cooked to perfection and better than the previous one. Felt like I was eating at a Michelin starred restaurant in Paris!!! Great place to come for special occasions or to treat yourself after a long week. Will definitely come back again and again. No pics to upload because I wanted to try each dish right away so forgot to take pics. read more

I loved the old Paris Hawaii, and am glad to see it re-open after so many years. The food is still exceptional. My favorites were the Ahi tuna which comes with some beef tartare mixed in, on a crispy shell, and the beef with a delicious burdock root sauce. If I had to nitpick, the service was a bit fast, but friendly, and the quality of the food more than made up for it. So glad to have tried the new Paris Hawaii, it was a great experience! read more

Celebrated our anniversary here! Staff was incredibly attentive and kind, they explained each dish well, answered questions without judgment, and served us pairings that were perfect for the meal (some wine pairings are set, I believe, while other pairings can be decided by you). The restaurant had a minimalist but cozy atmosphere. Everything was clean and organized, it was quiet inside but not at all strange or awkward. Loved being able to watch the chefs cook and assemble the next meal. The food was delicious. I think the upgrades are worth it. My partner didn't upgrade to duck breast and had the fish, and we wanted to swap plates. Both were so yummy, we just have different preferences and palates. But if you don't upgrade any of the food-- PLEASE consider the wine pairing. We did the 4 and I was enjoying every glass. If you don't know which wine to select (when given the option), I highly advise listening to the staff recommendations. They wrote a sweet message for the dessert plate and that was touching. Overall, I highly recommend dining here. Thank you for such a wonderful meal and experience! read more

The seasonal menu was excellent. Each dish was flavorful and tasty. The oyster ahi tartare combination as starter was refreshing. The tomato zucchini tart was creative. The kampachi with a generous amount of caviar was excellent. The mushroom goat cheese risotto with the uni addition was rich and tasty and the perfect size so you don't feel stuffed. The homemade bread was great. The lobster and onaga were delicious. The lobster had subtle kiawe smoked flavor. I definitely recommend the Jidori chicken. The wagyu was perfect for those who prefer steak. All the dishes showed attention to detail in not just the plating but also the ingredients, most of which are locally sourced. The wine pairing was excellent. Service was terrific. Sit at the counter to watch the food preparation. I like the design of this location better than when it was in Waikiki. 10 counter seats and 2 tables for larger groups. We will definitely return. read more
