Chai's Island Bistro
Chai Chaowasaree's stylish, light-bathed and orchid-draped lunch and dinner restaurant expresses the sophisticated side of this Thai-born immigrant. He plays East against West on the plate in signature dishes such as
kataifi
(baked and shredded phyllo), macadamia-crusted prawns, ahi
katsu
tuna steaks dredged crisp Japanese breadcrumbs and quickly deep-fried), crispy duck confetti spring rolls, and seafood risotto. Some of Hawaii's best-known contemporary Hawaiian musicians play brief dinner shows here Wednesday through Sunday. No lunch Sat.-Mon.
