Fujimamas
Fujimamas blends hip, eclectic ambience - something Kailua's restaurant scene sorely lacks - with chic presentation, making it a very exciting new addition. The heavily Japanese-influenced menu includes sushi, wok dishes and 'things that make you go ummm'. The handmade Chinese noodles with mushrooms and truffle oil get wide acclaim, as does the grilled pork chop on tempura sweet potato bread with apple chutney and miso sesame sauce.
Oh, and leave room for the insane desserts, such as banana tempura on tropical French toast.

Miyo's
Overlooking Waiakea Pond, Miyo's resembles a rustic Japanese teahouse. Tasty, fresh renditions of tempura, sesame chicken, beef teriyaki, donburi, sashimi and more are generously accompanied by soup, rice and salad. Call ahead to reserve a coveted window table at this local favorite. The restaurant is in the first complex of buildings adjacent to the pond as you enter Waiakea Villa.

Teshima Restaurant
Another window on local life is Teshima Restaurant, in Honalo. Families and immigrant coffee pickers have been ordering delicious Japanese comfort food here since the 1940s.
