Fodor's Expert Review Binchotan Bar and Grill
$$$
The Kohala Coast
Asian Fusion
In a sophisticated setting that includes open-air patio seating, this restaurant offers contemporary Asian dishes made with meats, prawns, peppers, and more grilled over an open flame in the traditional style. Blending locally sourced ingredients with Japanese and Hawaiian influences, chef Justin Kalaluhi creates a menu that pays homage to multiple cultures. Premium sakes, outstanding whiskeys, and artful cocktails give the bar sophisticated flair. Prices are reasonable for a resort restaurant.
