The experience in a whole was amazing! It was the best part of my day, great way to end my Birthday celebration. All the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. The desert was complimentary for my birthday and the wine was recommended, after explaining what I was interested in having, and turned out to be the perfect find. I had the Oxtail as my main course and it was so amazing! I honestly get it on every yearly visit from another subsidiary location but chose here this one time due to the other location discontinuing the dish. It was even better (tasted just as great, but larger portion) than I remember from previous years. From the starter tray there was a peanut sauce I will return specifically for next year! Love it!

Fantastic dining experience with an amazing wait staff led by our server Kristy who was attentive, courteous and knowledgeable. The Hokkaido scallops were delicious especially the lobster reduction. And the crispy whole fresh red snapper in chili garlic sauce was juicy and crunchy with succulent meat. We highly recommend Chef Chai to celebrate a special occasion with a very memorable dining experience.

We happened upon Chef Chai when our docent at the Honolulu museum of Art suggested we celebrate our anniversary there. A quick Google and we made reservations for the Early Bird dinner. We found Chef Chai to be an easy stroll from the Art Museum. We got there exactly on time 4 pm, at there opening. We were first in line. They showed us to our table. It was so easy they have a Per Fixe special. All we needed to do was to choose our entree from a short list. Then the Amazing culinary extravaganza began! The service was perfect, the ambience was modern, the bathrooms were gorgeous, and my wife was beautiful.
When you make your reservation tell them Joe sent you...they will say Joe Who...that's me 😀

Service was excellent! Our waiter was very attentive and knew the menu very well and gave us great recommendations. My boyfriend said it was the best rack of lamb he has ever had.

Food was great but the Tasting Menu might have been too much for us. I was also confused by the underwhelming and dry chicken satay and peanut sauce after a very nice appetizer spread.

Went to this lovely restaurant to celebrate my 21st birthday and it was perfect. The food was amazing as well as the drinks and the service. Everything that we ordered was cooked and seasoned to perfection, and the drinks were very tasty as well (including the mocktails!) Robert Cazimero performed live on the piano with some hula dancers, and it was beautiful. I really couldn't have asked for a more perfect birthday. There was valet parking for $7 I believe, and even they were so sweet. I will definitely be coming back to Chef Chai's for my next celebration! Thank you to everyone who made my 21st so memorable :)

First time at Chef Chai's. We were very impressed from start to finish. We had a family birthday and had reservation for an early Sunday dinner. The had a early bird special that offered a great variety to choose from. My wife chose the salmon and I had the Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Mushroom Foie Gras Puff. You get a awesome 5 item appetizers something for everyone. Desert is also part of the early bird special a Heart Shaped White Chocolate Gelato with Fresh Raspberry Guava Puree. We will definitely be back to try the regular menu.

Beautiful restaurant and great service. Food took a while only because we were a big party and they wanted to bring everything out at once. Otherwise everything was great.

Everything we ate from appetizers to dessert was delicious. We had our wedding dinner here with family and it was amazing.

Everything is amazing! Chef Chal himself greeted our group. He was so friendly and down to earth despite. Quick and friendly wait staff were on top of service. Best of all was the delicious food. OMG! Every dish from appetizers, salad, entree, to dessert was amazing! We had a special menu for our group but I am sure it's all good. Can't wait to go back!

Me and my friend got a Groupon deal for this place a few weeks ago. The Groupon menu is not bad but appetizer sample plate was by far the best. Entrees we're ok but not an amazing selection. Good quality though. The desserts were a joke, didn't care for either the chocolate cake which was similar to what I can make myself or the ice cream in rasberry sauce and white chocolate shaped like a heart. Desserts weren't worth the experience. But ovearall it's one of the best restaurants I've been to Honolulu. They also have a very good service, waiters know the traditional etiquette of fine dining. Very impressed and will be coming back for more!

Bought a Groupon and was not only amazed at the amount of food included in the deal but how great everything from the staff to the decor was. I walked out sooooo satisfied. Chai's does it right and I highly recommend you go.

The staff was the best and the food was immaculate. The music and environment was to die for!! If I was on death row, their halibut would be my choice!! The best from Texas to Hawaii! I cannot express how much we enjoyed the time spent here!

Everything about this experience was wonderful. Appetizers to dessert were PHENOMENAL. Mike was our server, and he was excellent when it came to answering all our questions, and remained attentive to any needs throughout the meal. He refilled drinks as needed, cleared plates asap, and provided top-notch recommendations for our party. ��

Chef chai is an outstanding host. Always working, supporting his crew, and on top of great service, you get awesome gourmet cuisine! I eat vegetarian when possible...and the options were superb!

Had a wonderful evening. Perfect 10 from appetizers to dessert. I had lamb chop for entrée and it was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Of course Robert Cazermero's performance was the icing of the cake.
Cassandra Hill
Went on a Groupon gift certificate, had a 4 course meal that was off the charts. The best meal I ever had in my entire LIFE; I am 52 years old young and living my life like its Golden. Will definitely return and recommend as a elegant restaurant to go have dinner at!

Great food, service and atmosphere. Chef Chai never disappoints. We loved his restaraunt when it was in Aloha Tower and love it in the new location. I also like that Chai is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! :)
