"I love Izakaya Nonbei. We've been going since long ago when my then-client Don Ho used to take us there. My favorite dish is Maguro Natto, an ahi/natto mixture that you spoon into rolled nori cones."
Chris Kajioka
"I enjoy the Salsiccia & Kale salad at Appetito in Waikiki. I think chef Naomi is very talented. The food is very classic, but the cooking and seasoning of all the food is always done well. I am definitely a fan of hers."
