If you’re looking for a taste of Hawai‘i that blends community, cuisine, and celebration—all in one—then the milestone happening at Arden Waikiki is something you’ll want to mark on your calendar.

What’s the Occasion?

Arden Waikiki, an island‑rooted restaurant on Waikiki’s Diamond Head side, is celebrating its second anniversary on October 18‑19 with a special three‑course “ohana‑style” dinner.

Why It’s More Than Just a Meal

  • The menu is designed around contemporary Hawai‘i cuisine, thanks to chefs Makoto Ono and Amanda Cheng. It features locally‑sourced ingredients like fresh ahi, native‑grown ulu, and Maui venison.

  • Owned by a local family with nearly 50 years of culinary innovation in Hawai‘i, the restaurant isn’t just serving food—they’re creating culture.

  • Arden Waikiki also partners with local farms and producers, such as Maui Nui Venison and Asato Family Shop, which strengthens the link between the table and the island’s agrarian roots.

What to Expect

The two‑night celebration is crafted to bring people together in true “ohana” fashion—think shared courses, island‑inspired flavors, and a setting that speaks to both locals and visitors who want an authentic Hawai‘i dining experience. It’s a fantastic reason to eat, connect, and honor the local food scene.
