NOBU LĀNA‘I 

Set cliff side overlooking a protected marine preserve, NOBU LĀNA‘I offers sweeping panoramic views and innovative Japanese cuisine. Drawing upon Chef Matsuhisa's classical training as a sushi chef in Tokyo, his life abroad in South America and his travels around the world, his culinary style blends classical techniques with exotic global flavors. NOBU LĀNA‘I showcases signature new-style Japanese cuisine, as well as new creations infusing local ingredients. Sip a signature cocktail in the lounge, take a seat at the sushi bar or enjoy dinner at one of the outdoor tables. Inspired by the simplistic lines found in Japanese architecture and a palette rich with teak timbers and meticulous wood detailing, the decor easily blurs the lines between interior and exterior space as diners gaze upon the sand and waters of Hulopo‘e Bay, often referred to as one of Hawaii’s most beautiful beaches.
