That’s the dining experience you can look forward to at Bamboo Restaurant in Hawaii.

It was originally built as a hotel in the early 1900s before it became a dry-goods and grocery store for 65 years under new ownership. Eventually, it was restored and opened as a restaurant in 1993.
The ambiance of this restaurant is both charming and eclectic and it's easy to see why. The colorful art and decor that adorn just about every square inch of the historic building it resides in make this a fascinating place to dine.

Aside from the atmosphere, Bamboo Restaurant serves incredible classic Hawaiian food using local produce, grass-fed meats, free-range chicken, and locally-caught fish. It also has plenty of vegetarian options too.
