Reviews of Senia (Restaurant)

Dave Ogilvie

The cabbage sauce was out the world! It is a bit bizarre that a main entree would be cabbage, but they pair so well together. I was imagining this dish to be paired with something more hearty but it would be too much. And lastly, our lovely server recommended I try my dessert with the banana ice cream.... ah. What a delight.

Kathy Bayne

The food and service were perfect. I found the ambiance a bit sterile.

Matt Lynn

Impeccable staff, amazing presentation and flavors to match! A great dining experience!

Food is top notch and unique. They have an original selection of cocktails and the ambiance is comfortable. Definitely a great place to eat if your visiting downtown Honolulu.

Chen Family

Chef’s counter is da bomb! Interesting island inflected fine dining food cast in a casual but responsive service setting. Worth a trip for the jaded mainland palette.

Charlie C

We had the lunch pre-fix and all 3 of us tried different dishes. The food came out and looked too pretty to eat! The dishes we had were very tasty, not too salty (as some places oversalt), and the portions were spot on for the price. Great place to get a nice lunch in with great company. Sorry didn't snap a pix of the lunch menu, but here are the dishes. App was a "Poke" cracker, taste fresh and the crisp added a great texture contrast to the fish, first dishes were Tako, Beef Tartare, and the Kale & Quinoa salad - all were phenominal! Main dishes were Porchetta, ahi burger, and I think a chicken burger - again, very tasty and not too salty! All of these came with side of home fries which were really well cooked, crunchy outside and the inside was moist (careful not to eat it too fast because it was really (temp) hot) Finally desserts - Senia cookie w/ a cream and Ice cream and a Iemon bar with a cream/mousse. Lemon bar was not too tart, the cookie was real moist and consisted of PB and Chocolate. Very refreshing way to end a meal.

dan tanaka

Clean, wonderfully tasty dishes. The cookie for dessert was good, but my favorite was the venison tartare. Close 2nd was my ahi burger. Might seem pricey for a lunch, what a way to give yourself a special treat.

Andrea Lin

Wow. Every dish was a surprise. Different. Great. Wonderful layered flavors, balanced. Bone marrow was the best thing I've eaten in years. Food was beautiful, service was attentive, not fussy or overbearing.

Jon K

The food was an adventure into amazing flavors, textures, and presentation. The 007 cocktail, Venison, Agnolotti and Soufflé cheesecake are unique standouts. Bright and lively vibe.

Stanford Lee

Great good, great service. Some stuff is definitely better than others, but overall everything is good.

hawaii no.1

Seagem Fix

Absolutely the most amazing restaurant with an amazing chef Chris and amazing staff♡♡♡ A hidden gem in downtown Chinatown ♡ Updated 1.10.19 still one of my favorite places to eat. Always amazing and several times I have come back and still blown away with the creations and combination of flavors. Tonight we had smoked ahi brioche, cabbage croquettes, hamachi, tako, duck confit, beretta, souffle cheesecake lilikoi dessert that knocks your socks off! We loved our service and especially Martin was the best server I've ever had!!! Love chef Chris as per usual, he is truly amazing♡ much aloha!

Alexandra Weingarten

One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. As a NYC foodie, I didn’t expect to be blown away by food in Honolulu but I was. This exceeded all expectations.

Mike Kass

One of the finest dining experiences in Honolulu if not Hawaii. Truly a "must-go" restaurant. Service rivals the quality of the food. Great place to go with a group of friends and family so plates can be shared.

大山晴夫

(Translated by Google) I booked immediately after I arrived in Hawaii, it was my second time to make a reservation for my luck. I was surprised that cooking using super food such as Moringa comes out with French. None compliments delicious! In addition, I definitely want to go there in Hawaii in May. One push in Hawaii! It is one absolute recommended shop. (Original) ハワイに着いてから直ぐに予約し、運良く予約が取れ今回で2度目です。 モリンガ等のスーパーフードを使った料理がフレンチで出てくることに驚きました。 どれも文句無しに美味しい！ また5月のハワイで必ず行きたいと思っています。 ハワイで一押し！ 絶対オススメの一店です。

CLARA MARCELA Mosquera López

Great food and service!!

Jacob Beckelhymer

Exceptional food and service! Senia is a simply wonderful dining experience. It is personable and unpretentious, while offering an incredibly well thought out and spectacularly excited executed menu. We ordered the oysters, poke crackers, cabbage, tako, scallops, a risotto special and mushrooms. The scallops were the best I've ever had and everything we ate was wonderful. The dessert menu was awesome too! The cocktail and beer list are large enough to have something for everyone and wine is available in 2oz and 5oz pours so you can a lot of different things. This is the best dinner I've had on the island and ranks among the very best I've had in my life. We'll be back.

Patrick Lin

Awesome place.

Wil Horie

Deliciously prepared plates for sharing

Leah Danks

Fabulous

james louie

Great flavor and presentation.

Brent Nichols

Eating at Senia was definitely an organismic experience for the palate. No wonder it is one off Barrack Obama’s favorite restaurant in Hawaii. We had a wine pairing and tasters menu. I would highly recommend it. The sommelier did a fabulous job with the wine pairing, I won’t forget my evening and supper for the rest of my life!

Michael Park

Good

shanna salacup

Seriously a flavor explosion in every single bite of every dish.

Kevin Hester

OMG so good - our new favorite Honolulu resturant.

Cheryl (Yeoh) Sew Hoy

Our best dinner of the year so far!! Senia was outstanding and exceeded our expectations! We went for the ala carte option on a Mon night and sat at the counter so we can see the chefs at work. I loved my 007 refreshing cocktail, and these were incredibly memorable and delicious: chicken liver mousse with financier (order extras!!), beef tartare, and ulu cream puff dessert. Just so innovative and full of flavor! I’d come back to dine in a heartbeat!

Ricky Yap

Grill cabbage is a must

Kelly Lugo De Felice

Had the chefs tasting table. Very pricey but delicious. Also added the wine pairing. The staff members were nice and accommodating. It was very interesting to watch the chefs cook and plate, as we we're sat at the bar by the kitchen.

beth graff

Beautiful. Delicious. Must Visit!

Mike Steczo

Fantastic menu for sharing with your table. Highly recommend ordering a good variety to share family style! Staff was quite talkative but had lots of great suggestions. A fast favorite.

Phillip Ngo

Went in for a weeknight a la carte dinner and was not disappointed. Shared 5 small plates and a dessert which was very ample and gives you a great window to see the kitchen without the need for the pricier tasting menu. There's plenty of finesse in the food here without being too elaborate. The dishes were all approachable, great produce, and cooked to precision with some clever plays on familiar flavour combinations.

jeff escuadro

Make the Reservation and enjoy. Yes pricey and not the largest portions but incredible flavor profiles and you will be satisfied.

restaurant was great the waiters treated us right and the food came right on time we would come back again

Marc A

I've been to a lot of great restaurants in my life and Senia's Chefs' Counter was easily one of the best meals that I have ever had. If you're a foodie then you must pay this restaurant a visit.

samuel decamp

Awesome food. Awesome staff! You must eat here in hawaii!

Ben Clayton

I cant say enough good things about Senia. This was by far the highlight of my recent trip to Hawaii and one of the best meals I have ever had. My family and I had the pleasure of sitting at the chef's counter and we got to watch the kitchen work as we enjoyed our meal. The food is made to be shared which is great because you can try more dishes (they all were fantastic). The staff here was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, they all made us feel very comfortable. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, yet feels relaxed and not stuffy at all. We also had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Chef Anthony Rush who was very kind and made for an unforgettable night. Do yourself a favor and eat here as soon as you can. I know my wife and I already want to go back to Honolulu for the single purpose of enjoying another night at Senia.

Josh Sanders

Excellent! Delicious! Wonderful!

Isabella M.

It was ok. The service was not nice. The food was ok. Overall The whole place was meh to ok

Alex Fairley

Wonderful staff and food

Andrew Wikel

Go here. Go here for lunch to get superb value from the fixed price menu. This place is fantastic. Would highly recommend for a foodie's Paradise

Jeff Healy

Outstanding dining experience in Chinatown. The food was amazing. Each course was better than the last and the cocktails were excellent. The staff were very attentive but not overbearing. Jason is a great waiter! We will definitely be back.

Bernadette Wilkins

They take a modern twist on a lot of Asian cuisine so I def recommend to anyone craving an unconventional Asian inspired meal. First time I went there couple years ago, my husband and I ordered almost everything on the menu and loved it all. This time, went with hubs and 3 other friends for a bday. Last minute reservation but we were able to get us in 2 days later at 8:30.

Brian Yi Liu

Phenomenon experience. Service is very attentive and detailed without feeling intimidated. Atmosphere is very relaxing compared to other fancy places restaurant. I was completely blown away by its smoked salmon dish, never imagined salmon can taste like that, out of this world!

Jonathan McManus

New York Times, Food & Wine, Eater....they all said it best...the best dining restaurant in Hawaii.

Roger Bernstein

One of our best meals ever!

Brad Espedal

If you are in to experiencing unique flavor combinations then you will enjoy this chef driven menu.

Jacqueline Washington

Seven of us for my brother in laws well behaved bachelor party, descended on Senia and enjoyed a world class Michelin level meal....Definitely coming back with my sweetheart next time! Inventive food, masterfully prepared and gorgeously presented....a visual and all sensory pleasing experience. Service was top notch, from our dmservers to our Sommelier only regret, I didn’t get a chance to thank the chef and his two partners for the amazing experience

Benny Cao

Fancy eatery in Honolulu Chinatown... food was nice without being amazing. Service was the best part... brilliant.

Akihiro Nakamura

Hawaii top level restaurant with very unique arrangement dishes.

Greg Curtis

Great! Best fine dining we had on the island. Also ate at Vintage Cave. This was a much better atmosphere and all around dining experience. Every bite was great.

Khanh Nguyen

A great place to sample dishes while the main shared course will make you leave happy. Get the pork belly. You won't be disappointed.

Jeremy Wiss

Great service, dishes, and cocktails

angie pham

Amazing tasting menu at the chef's counter. Everything was good albeit very small bites except for main meat dish. Lovely meal. I would def come back for their a la carte dishes too! They looked so good at the other tables. Reservations needed.

Kalpana Bhandarkar

One of the best meals we have ever had in any country. Inventive, innovative, perfect. Drinks were amazing (try the Freddie and old fashioned). Appetizers were out of control - BBQ beets and charred cabbage. The triple king salmon was perfect. Exquisite. Service was attentive and kind. A must visit.

Nadia Kouchi

We originally wanted to sit at the Chef's Counter for Senia's tasting menu, but having to pre-pay with a no cancellation/changes policy for my group of four didn't seem like a good bet to me so we opted for their dining room. I love the restaurant's space with built in booths along the mixed decor walls and the simple neutral color palette. It's pretty, modern, and sophisticated. I like that it's not stuffy so while it's an ideal venue for a date night, it's equally a great choice for an any-night dinner out...except Sunday night. They are closed. We were eager to order a bottle of wine, but the wine director suggested we look over the menu and decide what we would be ordering first. After we decided on the oysters, poke crackers, salmon, kampachi, pork belly, foie gras, and bone marrow custard we asked for his recommendation on a nice pinot noir. Both the wine and the food were excellent. My favorites were the poke crackers, bone marrow custard, and kampachi. We ended our meal with the sticky toffee cake and some Kona coffee from Kona Coffee Purveyors (my fave!). I admit if you give me good wine and company I'll have a good time, but I sincerely enjoyed my experience at Senia. The food is original and the service was warm. I left wanting to shout from the rooftops for everyone to, "Dine at Senia! You will love it!!!" Instead, I settled with a facebook post and plans to take my husband. What the heck; yolo. Dine at Senia! You will love it! :D

G Tom

Lunch is much more affordable than dinner. The food is actually amazing. I don't always enjoy fancy for the sake of being fancy, but the taste of the food is on point and the decorations are modern. The carrot cake mochi is fantastic.

Joel Navarro

A must...for all foodies!

Morgun Somerset

For two people we ordered 6 plates, 1 dessert and 4 drinks. Our bill was $198. Everything came out perfectly and was delicious.We tried the Ahi Brioche x2 (5/5), the Kalua Pork Croquettes (3/5), Pickled Beets Salad (4/5), Charred Cabbage (5/5), Ricotta Tortellini (5/5) and the Soufflé Cheesecake (5/5).We drank the Polynesian Blonde (5/5), the 007 (5/5) and The Freddie x 2 (5/5).

Jeffrey Zheng

The most amazing flavors and textures in a dish I've ever had combined with the hands-down best service we've ever had and I will continue to recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. I wish I could give them more stars. First, quick shout out to our server, Martin. He was fun and bright and gave us recommendations on his favorite dishes (most of which we tried and he has my utmost trust from now on). We started off with the ahi brioche which is not a menu item, but is apparently popular on their social media. It is AMAZING. Its ahi and an avocado on a homemade brioche and it explodes with flavor in your mouth. Absolutely incredible and you must try this if they have it. The burrata was recommended to us by Martin and I wasnt sure if i would like it at first, but Im happy to say that I was so wrong. Saltiness from the goopy melty cheese, sweetness from the raisin puree and the truffle honey all over crunchy bread? That's hard to beat. I found myself enjoying it more and more with every single bite. The charred cabbage is one of their signature dishes and very popular across social media. While this was also incredibly delicious for being a chunk of cabbage (make sure to drag it across as much of the sauce as you can), it was not my personal favorite. Maine Sea Scallops. Incredible. They're soft on the inside. Crunchy on the tops and with the sauce and all of the accoutrements in one spoonful, it'll blow your mind. Casoncelli with escargo and burgundy truffle shavings. This was one of my favorite pasta dishes of all time and definitely one of my favorites here. The pasta is cooked perfectly and the potatoes inside are delicious. This was my first foray into escargot and it was very very good. Everything sits in truffle and bacon oil and its a very rich dish overall. The souffle cheesecake with the lilikoi marshmallows and the lime-avocado (its amazing) sorbet just all melts before it can hit your stomach. It's impossibly light. The Freddie cocktail with the massive block of blood orange ice was so good. Definitely give that a shot. Parking is found in the municipal lot in Marin Tower on Smith Street. It tops out at $3 so its quite reasonable.

Kim Hanson

Food was delicious and although it was pricey for two people, there was more than enough leftovers. Great service and has plenty of side dishes..

Yuki K

Amazing food (three course) and fantastic service and ambiance.

Douglas Okada

Great food, ambiance & service. Highly recommend eating there.

Arthur Perez

Quality food is served here.

tony lee

Amazing place.

Addison Denenberg

Amazing food. The charred cabbage is to die for. The staff was all extremely helpful and attentive, explaining all the dishes and recommending drinks. The area seems a little sketchy at night, but don't let that scare you away. If you are visiting Honolulu, definitely stop in.

scott B

Fantastic meal and service, cheesecake was the most outstanding part of the meal.

Cameron Chan

Love the squid ink ahi chips.

Daniel Bond

Amazing fine dinning. Best salmon presentation I've ever had, and the charred cabbage is pure magic.

Jason Cook

Outstanding dinner and service.

Steve He

The is the best fine dinning I ever had at this price level. So cost effective... The taste, the quality, and the service are all excellent.

Jeff Healy

Outstanding dining experience in Chinatown. The food was amazing. Each course was better than the last and the cocktails were excellent. The staff were very attentive but not overbearing. Jason is a great waiter! We will definitely be back.

Chanaka De Silva

Loved every minute of it. Great ambience. Excellent and innovative menu. Very interesting cocktails. Even a vegetarian will have a great fine dining experience at this place. The servers take pride in describing the menu items. However, a reservation is recommended and parking can be a bit of a challenge. Will definitely visit this place, the next time I am in Hawaii.

Mark Moses

Everything we ate was great and survice was good too

James Chen

Best fine dining in Hawaii!

Josh Leong

Fantastic!

Todd Singleton

Exceptional dining. Food is beyond imagination. Service is friendly and attentive. Very knowledgeable staff. This is a life changing kind of place.

Brian Vest

Has to be the best service, cocktails, and food in all of Hawaii. Just very good and really impressive platings.

Bernadette Wilkins

They take a modern twist on a lot of Asian cuisine so I def recommend to anyone craving an unconventional Asian inspired meal.

Waikiki Massage Clinic

Still good but after a few visit in becomes redundant with the menu

Howard Pak

Awesome food and prepared perfectly!!! Would highly recommend!

(Translated by Google) One of the best place in Hawaii! If you're in Oahu, you should definitely go to a restaurant, great service and food, and an extensive wine list. (Original) One of the best place in Hawaii! オアフにいるなら絶対に行くべきレストラン、最高のサービスや料理に、豊富なワインリスト。

Marcey Mason

Most amazing food i had on my trip!

Julia H

So when I made a reservation I used their website and chose specifically ‘counter’ but today the host led us to table seating. I immediately asked her about ‘counter’ seating and a manager lady (short and dark hair) came out and said it’s not available today. (Of course with no explanation). She rudely added both counter and table seating serve the same food (Apparently she doesn’t know why people choose counter seating over table seating). She did say sorry though but her face and attitude weren’t saying sorry at all. I’ve been enjoying Senia’s food last few times but today is one of the most unpleasant dining experience I ever had.

Ret Eng

Inventive Food, Attentive Staff, Comfortable Environment. Overall great meal. We had the Chef's Table special meal, limited to 8 people per night. You pay the full price including tax and tip in advance when you make the reservation, like you pay in full in advance for a concert. Wine parings available for the meal as an option. Very memorable experience.

Katie Lewis

We ordered the poke crackers, liver mousse with cornbread, cabbage (highly recommended and unique), bone marrow (even the bread that came with it was heavenly), mushroom soppressini, and scallop dish. It was hard to pick favorites because everything was amazing and different.

Stacy S.

Delicious, creative, and refreshing. We enjoyed everything we ordered and the service is top notch. They truly made our celebratory night a memorable one. I love that the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The chef sent out a beet dish and I am not a fan of beets at all but I ate this one. I won't say it was my favorite but it was tasty. I'll be back for sure!

Rebekah Ellis

Dinner at Senia last night was the best dining experience I've had in a long while. Loved every dish I ordered, and the service was impeccable. I don't remember the name of the sparkling rose on the menu (my friend and I drank two bottles--it was my birthday, ok?), but get some.

Patricia K

Favorite restaurant in Oahu! We were lucky enough to snag a last minute reservation for a table of 2 on Wednesday dinner in April just two nights before the date. Both chefs were out of town (boo) so we couldn’t do the tasting menu but dinner was still extremely delicious and memorable! We ordered 5 dishes to share plus a dessert. Drinks were wonderfully crafted as well and you can’t go wrong with any of the cocktails. Highlights: Roasted bone marrow - I’m not normally a bone marrow fan but this was AMAZING paired with the perfectly buttered bread *drool Charred cabbage- never thought I would be so excited for cabbage but the flavors in this dish blended together so well I was craving more after we finished Wagyu beef- a bigger portion intended to be shared- this was the best wagyu we’ve tasted.. outside of Japan so definitely splurge on it if you’re here already This restaurant was definitely better than some of the Michelin’s we’ve had so I’m definitely making this a mandatory stop every time we’re in Oahu!

Toni Holm

Amazing!

D Jacinto

What more could I want? Everything's fresh and put together so delicately for parts and flavors. Bits and pieces come from sources unknown but assembled in harmony. Everything is a work of art for only me to devour. Yes.

maggie

Perhaps the best restaurant in the state. Intimate. Top tier cuisine that outshines most Michelin stared restaurants I've eaten at. Very personalized and informed service. Simply flawless. I also love that Senia transcends the prix fixe inflexible 3, or 4 dish format. Instead, you can create your own combination with as many and varied small plates as you care to try. Not a dud on the menu. I can't wait for my next visit. Reservations essential.

John Washko

One of, if not the best dining experience in Hawaii. The entire team from culinary execution and technique, to service style and flow is flawless. An easy, comfortable dining experience, that leaves you wanting more....!!! Congrats to all....I will be back.

Todd Trabert

Very good 3-course lunch menu.

Ashley Ikeda

Excellent

Jimmy T

Great service and good food! Family style restaurant that offers a few different sizes of food to order. The high lights was the bone marrow pudding, the ahi crackers and truffle pasta. All the food was delicious, beautifully plated and presented. The service was attentive without being too intrusive. I will definitely come back and try the rest of the dishes. Definitely give it a try.

Joshua Chen

Went for restaurant week and had they set menu. The foie gras, bone marrow, and the steak were underwhelming. However the casconelli, charred cabbage, and cheesecake were amazing! Would go again to order off the menu ala carte to try a variety of things. Wait time in between dishes was a bit long and service not as attentive as expected, most likely due to how busy they were that night.

Cuong Le

Most plates are meant to be shared. Every dish we had was delicious.

Valeria Parra Vera

One of the best meals I've ever had. Great food, excellent service. Foie bonbons, charred cabbage and bone marrow were a couple of my favorite entrees. Great cocktails too!

Bruce Kinney

This is probably the best meal you'll have in the state of Hawaii. Including Alan Wong's, Merriman's, you name it. Make a reservation for the chef's counter tasting menu, you won't be disappointed!

Kelly Custer

Amazing food and great service!! Definitely want to go back to try some of the other things on the lunch course.

Jamie McDaniels

Unbelievable food presentation! The modern decor was a highlight and of course the variety of delicious shareable food.

angelbert beaton

Horrible music and lighting...also the food was very unbalance.. will never go again

Michael Tom

A new place run by the chef who used to be at Vintage Cave. Expect to pay $40-80 per head. Ambiance is great and the food is fantastic. Favorite dish overall was the chicken liver mousse on financier, but unexpectedly the charred cabbage was flavorful and balanced. Only negative was the waitstaff outfit: loose white T-shirt? Didn't seem to match everything else and stuck out.

Patrick Ordinado

First time visitor to the restaurant. I must say, it's a bit pricey but what the heck! The food and flavors of the sauces were awesome. The waitress recommended that we start with the snacks, plates then a shared plate. All of the food that we ordered was awesome. If you are a meat lover, the Wagyu ribs is a must try. It definitely melts in your mouth. Great food and service . Definitely will go back.

Courtney Godfrey

Where do I start - We are here on holidays and all the reviews said this was the place to try. (Quick recap if you don’t want to read full review) Dinner was plesant but dishes were nothing amazing and service was lacking. Considering the reviews I was expecting big things and unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype ....or price! We ordered 8 dishes from the menu, all to share between 4-people.When ordering the server mentioned two specials. There was also a larger plate on the menu marked, market price, which I enquired about the price. When we ordered the risotto specially the server didn’t think to tell us it was truffle and $60 a plate! Shortly after we had 4 of the 8 dishes on the table. We had to ask our server to slow down, we’d only been in the restaurant 20min. They slowed down with the service after we asked, to allow us to enjoy each dish. Not all dishes pictured.

Evan Pardo

Absolutely incredible! One of the best meals I've had in years.

Jeff Pompadur

It's very difficult to write a detailed review for this restaurant other than to say, everything was above and beyond exceptionally excellent the service the presentation the textures flavors the herbs the spices all extremely amazing it lifetime experience in dining.

Jeoffrey Bernstein

Good dining experience

Thydakeo Kim

This place is amazing!

Hideaki Karita

(Translated by Google) I went to the most popular restaurant “Semia” in Honolulu now because I could make a reservation for a special course at the counter. It ’s so delicious! It was done. It's more than I imagined! I don't know where to do something similar in Japan. Tell me if you have w I was able to enjoy Hawaiian cuisine

Susan Hwang

Lovely and delicious menu options. Looking back, wish we could have tasted the entire appetizer section. Great wine program and knowledgable servers. The smoky cocktail was more than just a tasty libation. It's been a month since I've been... and can't get Senia out of my mind.

Kyle Andersen

Super good! Not quite sure the cost to enjoyment ratio is there for me (hence four stars), but the food is amazing, as are the staff.

Marina Teubal

One of the best places I’ve ever been to!

Todd Vance

Delicious food and the perfect setting for an upscale dinner to complete a night out. Each dish was beautifully served!

Kwan Lau

Words cannot do it justice. But I do recommend sitting at the Chefs counter. Wait help is awesome and watching them prepare is amazing.

Katie Lewis

We ordered the poke crackers, liver mousse with cornbread, cabbage (highly recommended and unique), bone marrow (even the bread that came with it was heavenly), mushroom soppressini, and scallop dish. It was hard to pick favorites because everything was amazing and different.

Nathan Kam

If Michelin rates Hawaii restaurants, Senia would be 3 stars in my book. Clearly a restaurant worth traveling for and chef/owners Chris Kajioka and Anthony Rush do an incredible job keeping the menu fresh and exciting. A must for lunch or dinner when you’re in Honolulu. The counter experience is a must for foodies.

Dee Lara

Good food small place

Bryant Palmer

I had a fantastic lunch here in June 2018, ahi everything. The prix fixe menu was a great way to explore the kitchen's offering. Will be back next time I'm in Honolulu.

Yoshinari Nishio

(Translated by Google) I arrived at the shop 20 minutes ago at 7 o'clock but I have refused entry. I did not understand the menu well, so I received what you recommended. Please try eating charred cabbage of signboard dishes. It was raised to 17 dollars. Yam is also delicious. A restaurant for people who want to have delicious cuisine while drinking and drinking and talking with everyone else. All the staff wear jeans, friendly, and the manner manners are double mulled. When I said that I wanted to return to Waikiki with the bus I was impressed that he brought up the nearest bus stop. (Original) 7時の予約で20分前にお店に着きましたが、入店を断わられてしまいました。メニューが良く分からなかったので、おススメのものを頂きました。看板料理のcharred cabbageはぜひ食べてみてください。17ドルに値上げされてました。ハマチも美味しかったです。お酒飲んで、みんなでワイワイおしゃべりしながら、美味しい料理をいただきたい人向けのレストラン。スタッフは全員がジーンズを着用、フレンドリー、接遇マナーも二重マル。the bus でワイキキに帰りたいと言ったらわざわざ最寄りのバス停まで送ってくれたのには感動。

colleen mccarthy

This was an exquisite dining experience, from the fantastic service to the creative, beautiful and delicious food, to the wonderful somalier!

William Wratten-Anderson

Five out of five! Amazing food - good service. You will however require a booking. I could go on and on about how good it is was but I don't want to because it's so good you need to go for yourself

Dan Pennington

My wife and I had dinner for our 35th wedding anniversary here. We had flown in to the islands from the mainland and were hoping to find a nice restaurant to have dinner. Senia was suggested by a relative and it was amazing. This gem has an open kitchen where you can watch these talented people put together a meal unlike you have ever had. The shared dishes are three or four bite per person exquisite dishes. Ordering three or four dishes for the two of us was perfect. The waitstaff never bothers you but they always know exactly when to place the next dish or take away the last empty plating. They are prepared to answer any and all questions and you can tell that they are as pleased to serve there as the chefs are to be culinary artists and we were to partake of one of our all time favorite meals. If you miss this one you need to return to the islands to make it a must.

Leith Benedict

Phenomenal place to eat, super service. Absolutely a fine dining establishment. Quaint atmosphere and the menu is outstanding-servers are great and matching wines with each course. Tough spot to walk in so get your reservations in.

Photos Don't LAI

I have no idea how this place could be rated for less than 5.0. Absolutely delicious from starters to desserts. Texture of the scallop to salmon that melts in your mouth. Also can’t miss the tuna, poke, cabbage, Wagyu, and cheesecake. Just heavenly. BY FAR the best meal of the trip.

Neda Chagleva

The staff is amazing. The wine and the wine list was great! Best thing to do is order multiple plates and try everything!

Kevin Kester

There are places where you never forget the dinner you had there. Senia is one of those places. Ranks above some of the Michelin starred restaurants I've been to. The food and cocktails are very creative. The service is impeccable. The wine list is small but eclectic. It won't be a cheap meal but you'll never forget it!

Shimoda Family

Amazing food and reasonably priced

Fred Coleman

Delicious, inventive food. Great vibe. Try the scallops, lobster arrabiata, the beets(!), and charred cabbage. All amazing!

Mandy Beerley

Can’t get enough of this place. Phenomenal menu and the chef’s counter is dazzling. Easily one of most creative and inspiring dining experiences on island

Carl Anderson

High caliber service, food without fine dining restrictions.

Best food we're had in Honolulu...hands down.

I have no idea how this place could be rated for less than 5.0. Absolutely delicious from starters to desserts. Texture of the scallop to salmon that melts in your mouth. Also can’t miss the tuna, poke, cabbage, Wagyu, and cheesecake. Just heavenly. BY FAR the best meal of the trip.

Really nice meal at a great lunchtime value.

Very good fine dining restaurant.

Linus Agnew

Wonderful food. My mate, Matt Rush went here to clean the dishes and he highly recommends it!

Lan Zhang

Overall food and service quality is really good, price is also very reasonable for its quality, a little bit salty and oily for me as I have light taste bud, definitely a comeback

Holly Warrick

Great experience! Bar seats are an optimal place to see all of the activity in the kitchen.

Jesse Wu

Great overall experience in the upstairs late dining room! Excellent service and food!

Monica Quiroz

Service and food quality are impeccable. Seared ahi on brioche was absolutely divine. I would definitely go back every time I visit the island.

The staff is amazing. The wine and the wine list was great! Best thing to do is order multiple plates and try everything!

There are places where you never forget the dinner you had there. Senia is one of those places. Ranks above some of the Michelin starred restaurants I've been to. The food and cocktails are very creative. The service is impeccable. The wine list is small but eclectic. It won't be a cheap meal but you'll never forget it!

Absolutely fantastic service and food. The best meal we had in Hawaii. Every dish we had was wonderful and definitely leave room for dessert!

(Translated by Google) Everything is wonderful! The fois gras Bon Bon was too sweet and heavy. We specially loved the scallops and ahi brioche. Server was attentive. Everything except foie gras bonbon was delicious. The foie gras bonbon was too sweet and too cattery. Especially the scallops and the ahibrioche were delicious. The clerk was also kind. (Original) Everything (besides the foie gras Bon Bon) was amazing! The fois gras Bon Bon was too sweet and heavy. We especially loved the scallops and ahi brioche. Server was attentive. フォアグラボンボン以外全て美味しかった。フォアグラボンボンは甘過ぎてコッテリし過ぎてた。特にホタテとアヒブリオッシュが美味しかった。店員も親切だった。

Food was awesome. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rustic elegance interior.Menu is designed so you can share everything. There was a hum of conversation and noise from the kitchen, but you could still talk amongst your group early. Overall excellent experience.

Excellent restaurant in the old Chinatown district Bone marrow Scallops Duck ragu pasta Triple smoked salmon. Great refined cuisine experience in Hawaii. We were in the Maze in London two weeks before and Senia was a much better experience. Decent portion and attention to details.

Senia is a great choice for inventive fine dining in an environment that is casual and fun... And won't break your bank. We ordered a starter, 3 shared plates, a side, and a dessert for under $90 for two people. Great value for food from chefs who honed their craft at Per Se. The luau pig croquettes were outstanding. They were crispy on the outside, and flavorful on the inside (also molten hot too). The standout has to be the crab bucatini, which had a great seafood flavor and the crab meat was generously portioned. If the molten chocolate dessert is available, get it.... Though the cake was good, I can eat that ice cream with macadamia brittle all day.

I would like to come back more often there. Nice place to be in. Recommended.

Wow! Seriously wow! Try the charred cabbage, it's life changing.

Gavin Jay

what an amazing experience. The staff was just absolutely amazing and made sure your night was not just about eating food but anniversary experience from the time you get there. This will definitely be Time Warner the top 10 restaurants in the US. By highly recommend you go before they get too popular!!

Russ Shokunbi

Food was excellent as always. Service was not as good as it normally is. They were busy. I don't fault them for being busy. I'm faulting their reaction to it. I'm very understanding and would have appreciated a little more communication.

Amazing food experience. A must try for those looking for upscale fine dining. One of the best meals I have ever had. Guaranteed to satisfy!

One of the best dining experiences my husband and I have had. We always make a point of visiting James Beard restaurants (whether nominated, finalists, etc). Senia's food, ambiance, and service were pure perfection. We ordered "Poke" Crackers to start - beautiful presentation, light crunch of the cracker and smooth tuna. We also indulged in the Kalua Pork & Cabbage Croquettes which were tasty but the sauce is what really made them. The Tako was cooked perfectly! We've tried octopus at a number of restaurants (including other JBs) and this was by far the best. Last, my absolute favorite was the scallops. These were heaven. Buttery, savory and a pure piece of art. To top off the perfect food, we had remarkable service. The waiter was attentive and friendly but allowed my husband and I enough space to truly enjoy our time with each other.
