Threadfin Bistro — Restaurant in Honolulu

Perfect Date Night Spot... IYKYK @threadfinbistro. This intimate dining restaurant serves up amazing set course meals... a true affordable luxury dinning experience by Chef Jason Kiyota .

You can park in the rear of Kilohana square... where you walk through an unassuming door, and are welcomed into a beautiful intimate bistro. They are known for their affordable set menus, that often change frequently to offer you the freshest unique experience. Each plate we had was an edible piece of art. And if you are big eater, like me, they have delightful add on's like the Kona Abalone, (which is a must try) and also pasta dishes to share.

For our experience we had the following:

*KONA ABALONE COGNAC BUTTER, BREADSHOP * (Highly Recommend)

THREE-COURSE PRE-FIXE MENU

First HOKKAIDO SCALLOP CUCUMBER, FENNEL, CITRUS, CHORIZO

BURRATA NECTARINE, TOMATO, BOTTARGA, CINNAMON

Second SPICED CRUSTED SALMON CAULIFLOWER, CORN, ROOTED FARMS TOMATO

JIDORI CHICKEN FRESH SUMMER TRUFFLES, WILD MUSHROC VELOUTE, SWEET POTATO

Dessert Chef Choice Local peach oat crumble with honey and whipped ricotta

Pro Tip: Located in Kilohana Square on Kapahulu. Call for reservations. Ample parking in the rear...

The Abalone from extra dishes menu was excellent! It was so yum! I enjoyed the Burrata salad - that was a 10/10 salad. Other dishes were good. But I felt the pace of the dishes were very rushed… I sat down at 620pm, and was in my Uber going back to the city at 728pm… just under an hour for the whole experience… Felt like a fast food chain with really good food than a restaurant serving proper 3 course menu.

The experience was let down by the service. To be fair, the two girls in front of house worked really hard to attend to everyone. Unfortunately, I felt like they were missing a lot of the fine details in services. They were so occupied with clearing the tables, fetching the bills, placing orders, and bringing plates of food to the room packed with people. The whole experience would be more personal and memorable if they had another person there sharing the load.

I really want to LOVE my experience at Threadfin. But I walked away feeling...

Great spot. Food was immaculate. Service was prompt. Price was reasonable. Portions are petite, so make sure you get 1-2 of the add-on appetizers.

I do like that the menu is constructed that way though. I rather Threadfins lower price point with the option to add to the fixed menu, compared to most other places that give too much food pre fixe but also charge a lot more. The quality of the experience makes me WANT to return, but having an approachable price point with the option to add will ALLOW me to return many,...
