Kenichi Pacific will wow you with its highly praised Japanese Pan-Asian cuisine and sushi, and its contemporary ambiance. In a relaxed, elegant setting, Kenichi offers unforgettable original dishes, such as the Duck Confit, a Chinese five-spice cured duck leg served with russett potatoes and wild mushrooms in a delicious balsamic reduction sauce. The Ono tataki grilled rare, stands out as well, with mashed yams, green beans, Japanese mushrooms and a ponzu emulsion. Another must try is the Dynamite Shrimp, tempura shrimp baked with smelt aioli and teriyaki sauce.
The presentation and the flavors are equally superb. Of course, only the freshest fish and seafood are used, so the sushi is impeccable. The molten flourless chocolate cake is achieving legendary status, so save room for a delicious finish!

No visit to Hawaii can be complete without sampling the local specialties. Enjoy a Hawaiian poke bowl as an appetizer. The ahi poke will be made with fresh, chunked tuna marinated in soy sauce and seasoned with green onions, sea salt and other ingredients. For dinner, enjoy the ginger steamed clams served with Hawaiian chilies, sake and crispy long rice. For lighter fare, consider sampling the mahi mahi fish tacos.
