Local dining icon Alan Wong has achieved an almost cult-like following among foodies across the Islands, and throughout the nation for that matter. A James Beard award-winning chef and leading pioneer of the Hawaiian cuisine movement in the 1990s, this mild-mannered culinary master has earned his reputation through zealous dedication to his four restaurants. His Honolulu flagship bears more than just his name: Alan Wong's is loaded with accolades, including once being named No. 8 on Gourmet magazine's America's Top 50 Restaurants list. His Japanese- and American-influenced Hawaiian cuisine is laden with personality, from ginger onaga to coconut-crusted lamb chops. Try the nightly five- or seven-course tasting menus, complete with wine pairings, for a sampling of Wong's best. And who can't make room for five spoonfuls of crème brûlée in assorted flavors? Full bar. Serving dinner nightly. Voted Best Pacific Rim Food in the 2008 The Honolulu Advertiser readers poll and Restaurant of the Year and Best Service in Honolulu magazine's 2008 readers poll.
