Alan Wong’s Amasia

Hawaii’s Best of the Best

Alan Wong is definitely one of Hawaii’s biggest culinary names and it was about time Maui was graced with one of his world class restaurants. Designed to reflect a traditional Japanese fishing village, Alan Wong is bringing his talents to South Maui. Sitting in the former space of Kincha restaurant at the Grand Wailea Resort, Wong treated the space to a $3 million renovation in 2012. Its lighter and brighter space now hosts Chef Alan Wong’s Amasia, his only premier fine-dining establishment on Maui, his other ventures include Alan Wong’s Honolulu and the Pineapple Room at Ala Moana Center.

Wong designed elements of his background, travels, and culinary education throughout his menu which is reflected in the assortment of menu choices. Originally born in Tokyo, his mother’s hometown, Chef Wong migrated to the Aloha state at the tender age of five. Once here, Wong quickly integrated himself into the local cultural, leaning heavily on his father’s Hawaiian-Chinese heritage while never forgetting his mother’s Japanese roots.

He says it wasn’t out of a deep desire or love for food that inspired him to be a chef, but rather a dream to excel as an excellent kitchen manager in fine cuisine that drove him to the top. He even claims he was a picky eater growing up. Wong recalls eating a frozen tangerine in a Tokyo train station at the age of four that sparked his real interest in food, “I’ll never forget the sensation of that cold, sweet fruit on a hot day. It’s that type of experience I’d like to offer my restaurant guests. Palate memory.”

Amasia has already received a slew of awards: “Best New Restaurant” for Hawaii Magazine 2013, “Best New Restaurant” and “Best Innovative Menu” by Maui No Ka Oi Magazine 2013, and the Critic’s Choice “Best Neighbor Island Restaurant” by the Honolulu Star Advertiser. There is no doubt that diners will surely enjoy Amasia’s fresh and “global marketplace of different cultures where East meets West, meets Hawaii.”

The menu boasts a bountiful selection of Cold Pupus, Hot Pupus, Soups & Salads, Entrees, Rice & Noodles, Vegetables, Sushi (Rolls and Nigiri), Desserts, and a pleasing Keiki menu. Favorite items on the Amasia menu include Passion Fruit Kampachi Ceviche, Maui Cattle Company Beef Sliders, Buttermilk Fried Jidori Chicken, Ginger Crusted Onaga, Crispy Asparagus Tempura, and the Kula Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert. Happy Hour runs daily from 5-6:30pm, offering special rates on pupus (appetizers), local and draft beers at the Amasia Lounge and Robata.
