Ninnikuya, The Garlic Restaurant

If you truly believe there is no such thing as too much garlic, this is a must-visit for you. Even the ice cream here has garlic in it. A Japan-based chain has done a charming job in this former bungalow in Kaimuki, creating a warm, folksy feel to go with the garlic steaks, garlic mashed potatoes, sorbet in garlic sauce.
