I love this place. Every time we come to Waikiki from New York we make our punctual stop at Zigu, David has always been our server (by coincidence) and he has always made our experience memorable and joyful, he definitely made my birthday dinner special!
David is really great and made some awesome suggestions. Had one of the best foods at Hawai last night. Everything at the place was from farm to table. I’m not kidding, you could feel the freshness of the main ingredients while eating😊. Had the most delicate miso salmon and baked yellow fish collar. I 100% recommend the place.

While searching for Japanese bars, Zigu came up with a Yelp review of 4.3, so I decided to gave it a try.
Zigu is located just off Kuhio Avenue and occupies a decent size indoor/outdoor space. The dishes we had were good, but the menu is limited.
if you’re looking for a bar with Japanese food, Zigu would be fine. If you’re looking for a Japanese restaurant in Waikiki, I would go to Restaurant Suntory.
RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER:
Beef Nigiri Washu-gyu = A
Lobster tempura= A
Agedashi Aloha tofu = B

We love this restaurant ! Food is amazing. Service is great. Came here for 3 nights during our trip. I loved what I had, it left me craving for sashimi still.
As a walk-in for one person and got a table right away. I mostly a solo travel and always do everything by myself especially going out to eat. I wish I could have tried the rest of the menu cause they look yum. What I got was very good and I bet you can pick anything without disappointment. The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about their menu. Bravo!
Let me begin by using the words of my 14 year old: this place is exceptional and the staff is incredibly talented. The produce used is of the best quality possible, fresh and handled with care in its preparation. The staff's knowledge of the menu and their recommendations; specially taking into consideration our lack of understanding of this cuisine, made the experience memorable and our enjoyment even more amazing. Garrett our server is hands down one of the best servers we have ever had in our dining experiences across the world. David made the moment of celebration of our 14 year old's birthday a great event with a spectacular video (and ensured consent was provided) and even the restaurant joined. If you don't know anything about Japanese sushi this is your spot, if it is, then again; this is your spot! Thank you for the amazing experience
We had a perfect family dinner here with a party of 6 thanks to our server David. The food was fresh, cooked/seasoned perfectly. The vibe in the terrace was chill and relax. And David’s service added even more to our experience. He offered great recommendations and warm and friendly service. Will definitely recommend to others as well as coming back for another perfect dinner in Waikiki.
