From sushi to saimin and Korean barbecue to Asian fusion cuisine, the Hawaiian Islands are undoubtedly home to some of the best Asian food in the country — after all, Hawaii is home to various Asian influences and is closer to Asia than the rest of America. While there is no way to feature all of the fantastic Asian eateries our islands have to offer, this Asian fusion spot on Oahu’s west shore is one of our favorites and we think you should add it to your dining bucket list. 

Tucked away off-the-beaten-path in Kapolei Commons, Duck Butt Grill, more commonly known as DB Grill, has quickly become a local favorite since it opened two years ago by the owners of Kaka’ako’s Cafe Duck Butt.

Boasting an expansive, double-height dining room and bar with combined seating for at least fifty people as well as large picture windows that give the restaurant an airy feel, this interpretation of a modern Asian bistro impresses as soon as you walk in.
