Giovedi, helmed by Chef Bao Tran, offers a seamless fusion of Italian culinary technique and pan-Asian flavors. The lively atmosphere of our dining room inside infuses energy into every meal, while the charming patio offers a tranquil escape in the heart of Chinatown, Honolulu. Indulge in our Prosciutto San Daniele, featuring sliced prosciutto paired with a sesame donut—a playful nod to both gnocco fritto and bánh tiêu—served with giardiniera pickles. This creative fusion showcases how our cuisine harmoniously combines familiar flavors, blending tradition with originality. At Giovedi, we provide more than just a meal—it’s an experience. With a welcoming ambiance, thoughtful service, and creative cocktails, we ensure every guest feels like part of our Thursday night dinners in our home that inspired it all.

    Yesterday was my second visit in the month. Vibe was cosy and clean, yet modern without being too much. Food delicious. Staff knowledgeable, attentive, and personable. Prices are fair. Very much looking forward to my next visit. I was amazed how the textures in some dishes endured. What I remember as a crumbled parmesan on the salad stayed crunchy the entire time!!!!! And the crunch in the mushroom donburi?! YUM.

    Best meal I’ve had out on island in a very long time. Servers were amazing and everyone was very knowledgeable and welcoming to our group. The plates are so unique and would 1000% recommend to anyone thinking about dining here. Will be dreaming of the onion dip and Hokkaido milk buns for a good while 🥹

    This is a jewel of a restaurant with exceptional food. Their take on combinations of flavors and textures is amazing. A great place to share small plates and experiences tastes you probably have not had. The scallops are exceptional with layers of flavors. I also had the crab pasta and it was another winner. We will return!

    Pleasantly surprised on how great the food, service and atmosphere was. From the moment we walked in, everyone was very inviting. We had reservations at 5:30 pm and were seated promptly in the left back corner. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. We started off with some cocktails. If you like Calpico, like my boyfriend then the Sun Chong Spritz cocktail is for you!! Slight sweetness and a very refreshing taste. If you like a little sweeter cocktail with a fruity flavor, then the Chromakey dreamcoat is the cocktail for you. Then, we began our appetizer portion and that's we were blown away by the flavors!!! We had the Nairagi Crudo, Scallop Carpaccio, Prosciutto San Daniele. As each appetizer came out we were so surprised with the flavors and couldn't wait for the next dish to come out. Everything was nice and light and wasn't overpowered by the other flavors in each dish. Next came our entrees, we had the Capellini Granchio, Char Siu pork and an order of the Hokkaido bread which we used to mop up all the saucy goodness from both dishes. We really enjoyed the pasta dish, and had commented on the type of pasta that was used. We both agreed if a different pasta was used it would make the dish really heavy, but the use of angel hair pasta was perfect!!! The showstopper for us was the Char Siu pork. It was perfectly cooked and was accompanied by red wine plums. Make sure if you have this dish, eat each piece of pork with a slice of plum then take a piece of soft Hokkaido bread to mop up the sauce. Lastly, we finished our feast with the Five-spice carrot cake which was pretty tasty. But we enjoyed the ginger gelato more than the cake itself. It had a very light taste, that helped to cleanse the palate. We really enjoyed Glovedi and will definitely be back to try the other dishes!!!

    Mid-meal, my wife said, “I want to come here for my birthday. And I want my birthday to be every day.” The staff were knowledgeable and kind. The food and drinks were amazing. Even the menus were gorgeous. We can’t wait to go again.
