Current Chef’s Menu
Our connection to the land begins at Ai Farm, our farm in Kapahi, where we grow many of the herbs used in our kitchen, including shiso, mitsuba, garlic chives, lemongrass, pandan, yuzu, and makrut lime. Beyond our own farm, we work with farmers, ranchers, and fishermen throughout Hawaiʻi to source the ingredients we cook.
