I've been to many omakase's both here on island and on the mainland. This place is hands down THE best of the best. The chef and owner is a true artist of his craft. He is passionate and pays attention to every single detail meticulously. From the freshest fish hand selected from Japan, to his homemade aged shoyu. I wish I could afford to eat here every day but I'll have to settle on Hihimanu for special occasions. Truly a treat!

amazing omakase with a speakeasy vibe. Beyond delicious, the chefs were so talented. The only thing I will say is it was REALLY difficult to find the restaurant as it’s not listed on the Waikiki shopping plaza directory and when we asked employees for help we kind of walked circles around the place.

About the restaurant

Brick Fire Tavern is a Craft Pizza Restaurant, specializing in creating hand crafted Neapolitan Pizza paired with craft beer, select wines, and other hand crafted dishes. By definition, “craft” in the context of food refers to the expertise in making things by hand, and usually in limited quantities. With this as our core, we are dedicated to the art of creating combinations that work in harmony with each other. Our ingredients are homemade, and seasonal whenever possible, and our menu items are uniquely balanced and creative. Everything served from the kitchen has at least one element either cooked or finished in our wood fired brick oven. We have traditional pizzas, as well as our creative and unique pizza combinations which are both fun and fancy ways to use local and fresh ingredients.
