Good for groups
Neighbourhood gem
Great for outdoor dining

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.

Excellent spot for sushi. The beef nigiri was the best I’ve ever had! Also loved their spicy edamame. Everything was fresh and delicious!

Excellent dining experience. Highly knowledgeable and attentive staff and an expansive menu. Housed in an original 1936 historic Honolulu home. Always a favorite.

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.
