At the far end of Waikiki across from Kapiolani Park, you can experience a bit of Japanese-style tranquility at Miyako Restaurant. Located on the second floor of the New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel, the restaurant offers an intimate atmosphere with beautiful ocean views, especially from the cabana area, which offers a perfect view for of the sun setting over the Pacific.

Miyako’s specializes in the classic cuisine of Japan, served by kimono-clad waitresses in a setting accented by traditional Japanese decor.

A favorite in Hawaii as well as Japan, Broiled Misoyaki Butterfish ($34) is available in a Hot Dish Set that includes not only delectable, delicate butterfish but rice, miso soup, Japanese pickles and ice cream as well for a complete, delicious dinner. The Misoyaki Butterfish is also available as part of the Miyako Prix Fixe Dinner ($55) which adds sashimi, tempura and the nightly appetizer to the mix.
