Threadfin Bistro

This great little gem in Kapahulu was awesome! In regards to the food, every dish was an absolute hit. I began with the Salmon Pastrami, which was beautifully presented with a mix of flavors that worked well together. The trout caviar, roasted tomato salad, and pepitas added depth and texture, making it a delicious and indulgent starter.For the main course, I got the Day Boat Catch paired with wild mushroom risotto. The fish was tasty and cooked to perfection, while the risotto was rich and creamy, with just the right touch of earthy mushrooms and beets. My folks got the Washugyu Steak Diane which was another highlight--an incredibly tender cut of steak, enhanced by the porcini glace di viande and a side of smoky BBQ carrots that elevated the entire dish.The service was great and with a clean environment. The menu always changes and it keeps on impressing me. Will definitely be back soon

Small bistro in an unassuming spot. Friendly staff. And until they get their liquor license, it's BYOB with no corkage fee. We had 4 people so took advantage of 2-3 course pre-fixe menu to try all selections and added 3share plates. The server paced the selections nicely. Started with the local greens, smoked hamachi rillettes and burrata. Greens were great, especially with the roasted grapes, the rillettes seemed more like canned tuna but the burrata was good (didn't need honey in my opinion). Then had the thai curry crab pasta and hokkido scallops. The thai pasta was the highlight of the meal...very flavorful and balanced. The scallops were ok, a bit dry. Next we had the lobster noodles and short rib. The lobster noodles were ok, with bits of tough, dry lobster. The short rib was so tender and delicious. For dessert they served a ginger cake with apple compote. Consensus was it was good. Overall good meal, great service and interesting food. Another plus is there's private parking!

Loved the overall experience here! Threadfin is a cute, cozy restaurant. Service was friendly and helpful. There's parking in the back of the restaurant (and the entrance is on that side) or street parking. Check out their IG to find out about the menu since it changes every month. We ordered the pre-fixe menu and I really enjoyed everything. The onion tart was very flavorful. The steak was so good and it was a larger portion than what I was expecting. The dessert that day was a pistachio cake and I was also surprised by how much I liked it! We also added on the lobster noodles - I would definitely recommend getting it. It looks like such a simple dish but it was more delicious than it looked. Good amount of lobster pieces in there and the veggies paired nicely.

I looked for something new and nice restaurant when my friends come from Japan. We always have dinner 3couples when they come to HI. I made reservation from their website. They are located in Kilohana Square former "Mr. Ojisan". Some parking stalls inside the Kilihana Square. For us no problem to park but I think depends on your reservation time. They have only prix Fixe 3course menu and you can add some their specials too.

Service was also good. We asked our server separate check each couple and he said "no problem" but he mistook the check (charged different one to others) but that's ok. Still our dinner experience was good!

Located in Kilohana Square in Kapahulu, Threadfin Bistro is an intimate restaurant that serves wine-friendly global-focused dishes from Chef Jason Kiyota, who formerly operated a restaurant in Kailua called The Food Company Café. At Threadfin Bistro, guests will have the option of an a la carte menu and an affordable three-course prix fixe for under $80 per person. The August menu is priced at $68 per person. Our party of four shared the Lobster Noodles which turned out to be my favorite dish. For my options from the prix fixe menu, I chose the Hamachi and upgraded to the Mediterranean Spiced Washgyu Steak. The hamachi with the pickled watermelon was so refreshing and generous in portion. The steak was nice as well and I enjoyed the onion jam. We finished with the chocolate torte which was perfection. We had such an amazing meal and the ambience was just my speed - lively, but in an intimate setting. Service was top- notch. The bistro is also gluten allergy friendly, so just be sure to let them know. They are currently BYOB, but offer a limited selection of wines by the glass as they are preparing the launch of their formal wine program. They are open for dinner Thursday through Saturday from 5:30pm with last seating at 8:30pm. My new favorite restaurant for sure and I would recommend to you to check it out!

Dinner in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawaii...I tried to go to Threadfin Bistro a couple of months ago, but I didn't make a reservation in advance. My bad... This time, I booked a dinner for 2 online! BINGO!Located at Kilohana Square, the shared parking lot for Threadfin Bistro is free of charge and is sometimes challenging at peak hours. We had no issues. We got the three-course Pre-fixe menu for $68. I chose the Rooted Farms Tomato Salad with bonito flakes, dried prawns, and pepitas. I didn't see any long beans, but it was tasty!The second course was the Fresh Day Boat Catch (mahimahi) with beets, corn, and remoulade on wild mushroom risotto. Delicious and intriguing!Mackenzie is the amazing, young pastry chef here. We really enjoyed her Tropical Mousse, which was creative, light, and fun to eat! We were thrilled when she came out of the kitchen to chat with us for a bit. We were able to tell her in person how much we enjoyed her dessert:The toasted coconut was a nice texture contrast to the smooth whipped cream. The chewy passion fruit gel cubes were colorful and tart, compared with the slightly sweet, pastel-toned lilikoi-mango puree base. Wow!We had a wonderful experience! It's a cozy space that seems like you're sitting elbow to elbow with strangers, but this is a classy joint. Everyone is well-behaved!Thank you, Jesse, for being a competent, polite server!

Been away a long time, so went to an OLD favorite and left...sadly. Desperately searching nearby we found Chef Jason's place and were welcomed in to a new upscale in Kapahulu! (did not want to eat in Waikiki). Top shelf food, service and ambiance! Really good concoctions with local and international twists! Chef came to talk with us and is justifiably proud of his work, like the abalone escargot.A bit pricey but highly recommend. EPIC!
