About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Healthy
  • Lively
Here at ZIGU, we believe the key to running a successful restaurant is to serve fresh local ingredients. We cook in a Japanese style using only ingredients found here in Hawaii. We will soon be opening our doors to customers. You'll enjoy authentic Japanese cooking and sake either inside our cozy interior or outside our spacious courtyard terrace.

~Important notice for our OHANA ~
We are asking customers to limit their dining experience to 2 hours when we have high volume booking.
*Happy hour exclusionday: 12/23/2024~1/1/2025

Thank you for your understanding.

    We were expecting a lot more since the restaurante has 5 stars on open table. My sashime came with pieces of skin and bone. Inaceptable.

    Zigu was a great find for our last night in Honolulu. We love Japanese food, and Zigu's use of locally sourced ingredients (including the best watercress I've ever eaten) was an extra draw. Our sushi was first-rate and the service was attentive and very friendly.

    ZIGU was awesome. Felt like Japan. Spicy tuna roll had great kick, super fresh. Sakes were killer, loved ‘em all. Gotta go if you’re into super delicious food and a great vibe.
