Combining the flavors from his hometown of Kaua‘i, and the decades of experience working for some of Hawai‘i’s top culinary leaders, including Ian Ruso of Michele’s at the Colony Surf and Roy Yamaguchi, Nami Kaze Hawaii is a unique melting pot of culinary creativity. With a farmer-focused approach, guests can expect to embark on a culinary adventure, enjoying creations that reflect Peel’s appreciation for the produce and provisions found throughout the state.

    Food was fine. But the restaurant needs to address some serious service issues. Hopefully a one off for a restaurant that received good reviews in the past.

    Our dinner at Nami Kase was our first experience with the restaurant. And it was a very pleasant surprise! The vegetable appetizers were very tasty and deceptively filling. Our entree courses were large and delicious! We had to take home a portion of the entree. Our server was very attentive and helpful with recommendations on the menu. While our wait for the entrees was a little long, the restaurant filled up after our reservation, so the kitchen was busy. We plan to return to Nami Kase in the near future!!
