2007 'ILIMA AWARD WINNER - BEST RESTAURANT 2007
Alan Wong's Restaurant  
It's been a big year for Alan Wong, with him doing star turns on the reality TV cook-off show “Top Chef” and collaborating with Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai at Alan Wong's Hawaii at the Tokyo Disney Resort. But the quality at his flagship restaurant rarely wavers, which is why (we guess) Advertiser readers have voted it Best Restaurant for an unprecedented 12th year in a row. Wong whips his staff into high-level shape then lets them show off their stuff - lately chef de cuisine Wade Ueoka has been making waves at the monthly Next Generation dinners. And we'll never get tired of his clean interpretations of Island favorites using locally grown ingredients, such as ginger-crusted onaga (with organic Hamakua mushrooms of course) and kurobuta pork chop with a five-spice cider vinegar glaze. Yes, Alan Wong's keeps yielding new, innovative things to taste, but maybe it's Hawaii's perennial favorite because at the helm is a man who embodies the word pono.
