Ideal for intimate gatherings or large parties, Eating House 1849 promises an unforgettable dining experience steeped in Hawaiian tradition. It’s a one-page menu sectioned into three columns with a pupu (tapas) menu almost as long as its entrée selection, which means we’re eating family-style tonight. The waiter explains there are a few items from Roy’s restaurant on the menu, like the baby back ribs and the blackened island ahi, but I make a note to steer clear of them because I want to try what’s new.

On first taste, I immediately understand why so many people wanted this dessert back on the menu, and it’s a bandwagon I am happy to jump on. Everything about this delicious apple pie lives up to its reputation. It’s not traditional paella I am told, but, instead, it’s how Yamaguchi imagined paella would have been made back in Hawaii’s plantation days. The stew is steaming hot, full of a smorgasbord of flavors, tasty and with just enough spice.

I was told that this was one of the most popular dishes, so, messy or not, I have to try it. “Hapa” BurgerWhen you want to experience all that a burger can offer, you absolutely must try the “Hapa Burger” at Eating House 1849. To create this entrée, they take beef from the Big Island and mix it with Kulana Wild Boar and Portuguese sausage. After that, the triple meat patty goes down on the grill and gets smoked gouda cheese over top.

Ask your server for recommendations or go with your creative instinct. After deciding against licking the skillet clean and finishing off the last of our drinks, I finally head out the door feeling very content with the night. Not only from the lengthy meal, but also knowing that Hawaii cuisine is getting another spin, and, with two more Eating House 1849 restaurants planned for Oahu, it’s not going to be much of a secret any longer. Roy’s restaurant’s signature chocolate soufflé was on the dessert menu, but I chose the Warm Apple Volcano instead. This apple pie dessert is a familiar one to anyone who had visited Roy’s in Poipu before it closed early last year.

The drink, I soon discover, is one of those perfectly concocted ones, tasting so good you forget there’s alcohol in it. We’re here to help demystify some of the unusual words you might see on menus like furikake, laulau and lilikoi — and explain which meat is being served and why. And possibly most importantly of all, provide the fun facts on the origins of local dishes. Other highlights of the new menu include the kampachi crudo with three types of roe and shiso; a spicy ‘ahi roll with takuan, yama gobo or mountain burdock and truffle kabayaki sauce; and flavor-packed ume-glazed pork belly bao buns.

To kick things off, they create the blackened ahi using the freshest fish around. Once it’s perfectly rare, the ahi lands on a bed of chilled soba noodles. Spicy soy mustard, butter sauce, cucumber namasu, and nori puree bring all the flavors together beautifully right before it comes to your table. It’s a miniature pie covered in caramel sauce, a scoop of Lappert’s vanilla-bean ice cream and candied apple-skins sticking out of the top. I sink my fork into the pie, knowing I’m about to make a mess of this well-prepared plate, and watch as the warm filling pours out of its shell and mixes with the caramel and ice cream before scooping it up and into my mouth.
A visit to Eating House 1849, Kauai’s new restaurant from Roy Yamaguchi
The restaurant is on the second floor of a large, plantation-style building (fitting for a plantation-influenced menu). The open floor plan feels spacious, even as we meander past many tables to our seats. The restaurant is buzzing with people, servers walk by us briskly, and large, picture windows let in a nice breeze.
Eating House 1849’s New Dinner Menu Is Reely Good
It’s a little after sunset, and I had thought evening at The Shops at Kukuiula would be the same quiet shopping center as day. I’d traveled from the urban confines of Honolulu to Kauai, the western island in our chain, to visit a new restaurant hiding in plain sight within a resort shopping center on the south side of the Garden Island.

As he transforms all the hand-selected island flavors, his signature dishes always represent the best in Euro-Asian cuisine, ensuring his valued guests can always find their favorites. Although building bright, bold flavors is a top priority, he never fails to take every menu item to the next level with artistic plating techniques. Eating House 1849 is creatively different from the Roy’s chain of restaurants you may be familiar with that are located around the U.S., Guam and Japan. Its name is a nod to Peter Fernandez, a Portuguese man, who is said to have opened the first restaurant in Honolulu around 1849, called Eating House, popular among Oahu plantation workers.
It was exclusive to its menu, so, many people were sad when the dessert left along with it. But, after Eating House 1849 opened, guests requested it so much the restaurant finally added it to its dessert menu. I had to try what the public wanted so badly and I’m glad I didn’t give in to my chocolate cravings in lieu of this amazing-looking pie sitting before me.
It’s easy to be distracted watching them prepare the food, but, right now, my focus turns to the menu just handed to me. Located on the south shore of Kauai, Keoki’s offers tasty Hawaiian fare in a tropical setting, with live hula almost every night. The menu features locally sourced ingredients, and the fresh fish varies according to season, and can be prepared kalo crusted, baked in garlic, or miso glazed, just to name a few of the ono choices.
After we order, the pork and shrimp pot stickers come out first, wrapped and fried to a perfect crispness, drizzled with Korean chili vinaigrette and topped with garlic aioli. My friend, who devours his share before I finish my second one, loves them and is disappointed that there aren’t more than five to a plate. The sauce is what makes this dish special with its blend of salty and sweet, making it a very addicting combination, but I have to remind myself that there are more plates coming. “It’s usually busier than this,” the bartender says, as my friend and I pull up a seat at the bar and I order a Blushing Bride, an exclusive drink off its cocktail menu, while waiting for our table. It’s clear while watching the bartender that he’s a man who appreciates his craft, calmly measuring the sake, sweet and sour, jasmine liqueur and orange bitters. He then takes his time to garnish my glass with a twisted orange peel as if he’s finishing off a work of art.
