Conveniently located on the third floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, Restaurant SUNTORY has been Honolulu's iconic go-to spot for authentic Japanese cuisine for over 45 years. Owned by SUNTORY Holdings, the restaurant is part of an international chain that was created with the goal of sharing Japanese culture and cuisine in foreign countries under the SUNTORY brand name. Hawaii has long been a place that many Japanese people love visiting and even relocating to, so the ties between these two island nations is very clear. In addition, Hawaii’s status as a global destination for paradise seekers makes it an ideal choice for welcoming visitors from all corners of the world. We are open daily for dine-in and look forward to welcoming you!

A Special Message from the General Manager:
Since 1980, Restaurant SUNTORY has been an integral part of the local community. Over the years, we have welcomed more than 3 million guests from around the world, with each visit becoming a cherished part of our growing history. Throughout my career overseeing restaurants in Japan, Cambodia, and beyond, I’ve found my greatest source of joy in the happy moments shared between guests and staff members. Since joining Restaurant SUNTORY in spring of 2025, I’ve been deeply moved by how often guests share their personal stories with me—some of which span decades. "We've been coming here every year for 20 years" "I used to come here with my parents when I was a child." "Sunday lunch here is our weekly tradition." Hearing guests refer to us affectionately as “our restaurant” fills me with profound gratitude. What a treat to witness the depth of connection our guests feel to this place. We are also honored to be chosen for life's most significant occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and other milestone celebrations. To be present at these important intersections in our customers’ lives is a responsibility we cherish. We look forward to welcoming you with refined cuisine by our incredibly talented chefs and SUNTORY’s selection of whiskies, beers, and fine spirits, all served with warm smiles by our dedicated team.
General Manager Kosei Isomi
