The Red Water Cafe
The Red Water Cafe Review
Chef David Abraham has transformed the former Fujimamas into a place for Hawaiian café food with a twist. They specialize in "multicultural cuisine" like the "Thai Caesar salad" with crispy calamari croutons that is big enough to share. There's a full sushi bar as well. Don't miss the "Fuji" roll with shrimp, ahi, crab, avocado, and cucumber that is tempura-battered and deep-fried. Wash it all down with the signature saketini. Lunch is a great bet here, too, with a build-your-own saimin option (broth with noodles), a huge Cobb salad, and a juicy 8-ounce burger with lots of fixings. This place is popular among locals and is a great spot for the whole family—the kids' menu was developed by Abraham's eight-year-old daughter.
