What Juan Montaño doesn't like about Kaiwa:
Absolutely awesome! Great food, great service...thanks to Joe and outstanding waiter. Unfortunately they close on 30 JUN. Go before its too late, you'll regret it if you don't. View all feedback. What DonnaM likes about Kaiwa:
We have friends who come from the mainland twice a year and they always insist on Kaiwa 's happy hour because of the value and the wonderful service. We never feel rushed to eat quickly during happy hour and they even come and give us a last call notice. View all feedback.

Definitely I will recommend this place. It's our favorite place to eat in waikiki.

Kaiwa restaurant in Waikiki has garnered a loyal following for its great food and service, with many patrons expressing sadness over its upcoming closure at the end of June. The outdoor dining area is especially pet-friendly, though valet parking is recommended. Some customers have mentioned issues with service and timing, but overall, the restaurant has left a positive impression on many, with fresh and delicious food served in a romantic ambiance. Kaiwa will be missed as a staple of Japanese cuisine in Waikiki.
