With a second-story view of magnificent Kahala Beach, this restaurant has a warmth that comes as much from its attentive staff as it does from the sun filtering in. Order from a world of choices that range from Indian nan bread baked in a tandoori oven to a wok-seared Maine lobster. For the vegetarian, Hoku's Rainbow of Vegetables entrée features a colorful platter of veggies that are steamed, grilled, and cooked to perfection. With 24 hours' notice, Hoku's will create a Seafood Tower of shellfish that is both an architectural and epicurean marvel.
