Discover Diverse Island Flavors and Creative Cuisine

Fresh, sustainably sourced ingredients available from land and sea, combined with imaginative cocktails, and epic views of the Kona Coast are the perfect recipe to exceptional dining at either of Kohanaikiʻs two signature restaurants, Kōnane and Beach Restaurant.

Both restaurants feature daily menu specials curating only the latest local ingredients available - line caught bottom fish from Ono lane, savory and perfectly seasoned lamb chops from upcountry ranchers, beet poke over a spring mix of greens harvested at our community farm - our culinary team, led by Executive Chef Robin Nishizaki, aims to create the unexpected. The one thing that you can come to expect at our restaurants is consistent quality, friendly faces, and those never-ending ocean views.

Grounded in craft. Inspired by experience

Executive Chef Robin Nishizaki

Chef Robin Nishizaki began his culinary journey at just eight years old, inspired by time spent cooking alongside his grandmother. He launched his professional career under Wolfgang Puck in Beverly Hills and has since led kitchens at notable establishments including Spanish Hills Country Club, high end resorts in Las Vegas and Montecito Club, where he served as Executive Chef. With experience spanning clubs, microbreweries, and resorts, Chef Robin has earned a reputation for his versatility, leadership, and commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences.

Chef Robin is known for his wide-ranging expertise, from executing refined wine, beer, and whiskey pairing dinners to crafting inventive dishes rooted in seasonal ingredients. He is a Certified Cicerone Beer Server and an avid home brewer, recently creating a bourbon barrel-aged porter. Outside the kitchen, he channels the same dedication into endurance sports like triathlons and marathons, as well as tending to his vegetable and herb gardens—an extension of his commitment to fresh, inspired cooking.
