Reviews for ZIGU in Honolulu, HI
We just had a fantastic meal at Zigu. The happy hour specials (4-6pm) are a good deal - the smoked potato salad, watercress and... tofu salad and tempura being particularly tasty. Then we jumped to the abalone, natto tuna poke and sashimi platter - all ofwhich were delicious! The food was fresh and tasty, with prices better than some other honolulu restaurants we ate at. And tocap it off, we had hospitable service - and our server even chased us down the street when he realized that we had left our ballcaps behind! If you haven't been yet, we recommend that you try Zigu! Read more
This reminds me of a typical Izakaya (pub) in Japan. The atmosphere was pleasant, service was exceptionally fast, and the food... was incredible. My wife and I arrived during happy hour (4-6PM) where they had discounts on some appetizers and drinks. Weshared the spicy edamame appetizer which was phenomenal. I had the Honolulu Beerworks Cocoweizen - I love typical Hefeweizensand this was both unique and delicious. I got the chilled soba noodle and my wife got the vegetarian Taro maki roll. It was adelightful first honeymoon meal and I would absolutely come back here! Read more

Decided to do a staycation with my friend. We found Zigu and what a gem! The draft beer was so fresh and the food was delicious.... We tried the edamame, fresh tofu salad, takoyaki, and spicy cold soba. There was just enough spice, allowing for the taste ofthe soba to come out. We didn't have reservations but were lucky enough to sit within 10 minutes. The staff were wonderful--friendly and quick! We'll definitely be back!! Read more
Atmosphere is a mix between corner bar and nice restaurant, great feel. Service was too notch. I had a lemon sour, so good and... strong! Also had the tuna cutlet plate with kale, the dressing on the kale is the star! Definitely will be going back to trymore items. Read more
Heard a lot of great things about this place and we finally got to experience it ourselves. Fantastic food, sake and service.... Shareable plate make this a perfect spot for groups who like to pick on a lot of delicious dishes. Everyone we ate we enjoyed.Check them out if you’re in Waikiki. Read more
LOVED Zigu. I live in NYC with a lot of Japanese food options and none of it (Tempura, Sushi, the side dishes) are remotely as... good as Zigu. The ambiance is wonderful. It’s charming, just off the touristy drag so it’s quiet, and service isimpeccable. You really feel as though you are in Kyoto! We had the Watercress salad, Tofu, Veggie Tempura, Sushi (it wasperfection- the quality of the fish was outstanding), Sake and a few other dishes. All were excellent. I thought the priceswere to be expected and very fair especially considering the quality of the ingredients (both the fish and produce). The bestpart is, this place as a neighborhood feel. Like it’s a hidden gem. There is a great back patio with expanded space. Theyalso take reservations! Read more
