~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

    The Christmas season was quite busy, and although there were some delays, the staff was very attentive and accommodating. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely return.

    Gary was very helpful with sake recommendations. We liked the salmon. Lively ambience that’s not too loud.
