Asian Restaurants in Hawaii
When Guy Fieri brought his red Camaro to the Hawaiian Islands, he discovered a vibrant fusion of Asian flavors that perfectly captures the state’s multicultural spirit. Between 2012 and 2021, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured 13 Asian restaurants across Hawaii, from the volcanic shores of Hilo to the sunny coasts of Kailua-Kona and Lahaina. Today, 12 of these flavortown-approved spots remain open, maintaining an impressive average rating of 4.4 stars.
Among the standouts, Le Yellow Sub in Hilo earned top honors with a 4.7-star rating, while Kenji Burger on Kauaʻi and Thai Mee Up in Kahului both boast 4.6 stars. These restaurants showcase the incredible diversity of Asian cuisine in Hawaii—from Vietnamese-inspired sandwiches to Japanese-influenced burgers and authentic Thai dishes. Whether you’re island-hopping through Maui’s Kahului and Lahaina or exploring the Big Island’s Hilo and Kailua-Kona, Guy’s picks offer a delicious roadmap to Hawaii’s best Asian eats.
