The concept of our restaurant is "Special ALOHA Experience". Based on this concept, I would love to assist our customers for making special memories through their ALOHA experiences in Hawaii. Please enjoy your special night in Hawaii at Genius Lounge, No.1 in Waikiki, where you can experience Japan quality cuisine, service and atmosphere.

I am thrilled to serve you with Japan quality Hawaiian menus which provides various mix of tastes. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
