~AUTHENTIC JAPANESE CUISINE INSPIRED BY HAWAII'S FRESH & LOCAL INGREDIENTS~
We created ZIGU in order to share our passion for fine cuisine with the people of Hawaii.
We have been fortunate to acquire the perfect building for our restaurant. The restaurant was once a wooden low-riseApartment building which was constructed in 1939. This has allowed us to create a cozy atmosphere that wouldn’t have beenpossible in a more modern building.

The key to the perfect dining experience is fresh local ingredients, prepared by chefs dedicated to the art of cooking. Here at ZIGU, you will enjoy dishes such as juicy Japanese omelettes made with fresh local eggs, sushi made from freshly caught fish.We also have SAKE and Shochu varieties that perfectly complement these dishes.
~Important notice for our OHANA ~
We are asking customers to limit their dining experience to 2 hours when we have high volume booking.
Thank you for your understanding.
*Happy hour exclusionday: 12/23/2024~1/1/2025

    David was awesome! He walked us through a sake flight and helped us choose one we liked, then guided us through the menu. Everything was on point, but the ahi cutlet and spicy salmon roll were real stand outs. 10/10 would go again

    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
