1. Senia
Chinatown
After a year of some of Honolulu’s best takeout meals, packaged as prettily as special occasion jewelry, chef-owner Anthony Rush recently reopened Senia for dine-in.
The renewed menu speaks of spring, like an agnolotti with truffles and English peas, alongside larger plates of porchetta with smoked apple jam. Don’t miss Mimi Mendoza’s desserts, unexpected and delicate pairings of western ingredients with Southeast Asian tropical flavors, as in strawberry and rhubarb atop a pandan cake, and soursop and sorrel sorbet.
