~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

    Great food and attentive service. Best of all, one of the less touristy spots. I will definitely come back on my next visit to Oahu.

    Bad experience. Booked early for Thanksgiving Dinner in Hawaii. Arrived on time. We were put in what looked like an added on crampeda spot in the back with babies while others who walked in were in a pleasant outdoor area. Hostess nastilly argued that we didn’t sign up for that area but it was BS because there wasn’t a place to request that online. Waitress was nice but we felt like the staff thought we were the problem. Extreme bummer
