~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

    We ordered four dishes off the late-night menus (we sat down at 10:15pm New Years Eve) - we only ate the spicy tuna !! Servers were friendly but managed to forget one of the four drinks we ordered.

    I made a reservation but they did not tell us or specify anywhere that they would not serve the full menu. They had a small bite size expensive menu for New Year’s Eve. The waiter made up a little bit for the bad experience, but we were very disappointed. Would have picked another place had I known but it was already too late. Once we ordered they brought the food at different times, like if they had forgotten a dish and took them half and hour to bring a fork. The only thing they offered to make up for all the messs is a glass of cheap Prosecco….

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you faced during your New Year's Eve visit. We regret that the limited menu was not communicated clearly in advance. On the evening of your visit, we informed guests at the entrance about the limited New Year's Eve menu before seating them. However, we understand that this was not your experience, and we apologize for any confusion. We are sorry for the delays in service and the unsatisfactory attempt to make up for the situation. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will use it to improve our communication and service. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide you with the exceptional dining experience we strive for.

    There were lots of people today because of New Year Eve. This was my second time there, the sushi was always very fresh. Appetizers were delicious too. We loved fried tofu. Anyway we will definitely go there again next time.

    I usually love this place but I agree with another review I read here that the quality seems to have diminished. The menu is not as extensive and the food was good but not excellent like I remembered from past experiences.
