Fête

Enjoyed a late lunch at 2:00 amd loved that it was less crowded. Service at Fete is always excellent and loved our table by the wall as more private. The best grilled cheese sandwich ever! The onions and beef au jus were perfect blend of flavors. Fete always has a different take on their food and the Ono fish sandwich as well was delicious. Portions are generous as are the wine by the glass servings. I usually like crispy fries but Fetes larger fries were tasty.

My husband and I went to Fête for lunch. We had a reservation for 2:30, but it wasn't too busy then. We were seated pretty quickly. The place has a cute, cozy vibe. The menu is pretty straightforward. We started out with cocktails—both the Kunia Old Fashioned and the Spicy Kitty were really tasty! For our entree, we shared the Korean chicken sandwich with fries. It was super hot and fresh when it came out. We finished our lunch with the delicious Olive Oil Cake. We enjoyed our dining experience here! If you're in the area, definitely check it out!

If you’ve never been to Fête and have questions of what you should order, do not hesitate to order the house special sandwich called the Smoked Ono Club. It’s a cross between a chicken salad sandwich and a tuna fish sandwich… but with the crispy bacon, sweet vine-ripened tomatoes and buttery avocado, it may well be the BEST fish sandwich you’ve ever had! The other highlights of our meal were the risotto and the burger. While it’s not called a Kahuna Burger (it’s called the Chaz Burger) it still caused me to blurt out Samuel L. Jackson’s line, “This is one tasty burger!” And boy, I meant it. JP’s risotto was creamy, cheesy, with perfectly softened rice and full of flavor. These are items to definitely order again on subsequent visits. The carbonara pasta was a bit on the bland side and was lacking in the knockout flavors of the other dishes but our pre-teen enjoyed it thoroughly. The ambience is fairly basic yet the atmosphere is energized and bustling. The service was friendly and fairly responsive (when you could get your server’s attention). It was fairly busy when we were there, so it’s understandable. Give Fête a try next time you plan to be in Chinatown, you’ll be glad to put another Honolulu gem on your list of favorite lunch spots.

The Winter Thai drink was a really unique delicious drink. Would recommend getting that one if you like a herby drink! Everything we had was delicious. Shared the special ulu aloo dish which was their take on a samosa with breadfruit spiced with Indian spices and topped with crispy okra and tangy condiment. We shared the chicken sandwich which my wife loved because of how crispy and flavorful it was. I got the koji brined chicken which was probably one of the best chicken dishes I’ve had. Loved the savoriness and umami that the koji brine gave to the chicken and the mushrooms with the cream sauce on the bottom just added to the richness and umami of the dish. The greens on the side tasted bit salty and could have probably dressed in a way that would have been a refreshing palate cleanser from the heavy dish. Still loved it though! We didn’t get any desserts because we were stuffed after long day of eating at other places.

Great place. My wife has very specific dietary needs and every time we've been here Chuck has made the experience amazing. The kitchen and Chuck with with my wife's needs to let her experience a good meal without compromise. Even without that the food is great. Highly recommend.
