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!

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.

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.

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 🙂

Great food. Everything was delicious. Marked down one star because we felt rushed out. We went for dinner and they didn’t close until 10pm jeweler we were the last party around 915 and everyone began circling our table. It made up feel a little uncomfortable, so we cut our conversation short and left. But again, the food was delicious.

Amazing atmosphere and location. You must pay to park so bring cash for the valet. The food was very interesting as a fusion Asian twist on traditional dishes. Me and my wife celebrated our anniversary here and would love to come back. Also the duck tacos are the best appetizer I have had in a long time.
