Chef Ravi Kapur's Hawaiian-influenced California restaurant is one of the most fun and delicious dining experiences in the city, blending island flavors with local ingredients. The buns with butter, fried rice, and rotating raw bar items are must-orders. The no-reservations policy means you should arrive early or expect a wait at the bar.
