The best thing about this Hello Kitty experience was the company (thanks Lena for telling me about
Makitti). I was super excited to see what a Hello Kitty themed restaurant could offer
me--Hello Kitty's biggest fan. Uh, I think I have more Hello Kitty memorabilia in my purse. I am going to cut them some slack, however. They just opened, it hasn't even been a month. I am prepared to return after the holidays for lunch or high tea.
Makitti is located in Waikiki, so parking was a rip off...it was convenient however. There was a mobile device option that I thought was very forward thinking...too bad it took twice as long to call on Cindy's cell phone as it would have to pay at the machine---good effort though. (Thanks for footing the parking bill Cindy...I'm sorry your first born won't be going to college now.)
After parking and being escorted to our seats, we ordered our beverages and took a tour around. Heavy on seafood, low on Hello Kitty-ness. The restaurant is open air and HUGE. There is plenty of space for big parties---maybe this is what a large portion of their clientele will be. Hello Kitty birthdays, anniversaries, bat-mitzvahs, weddings...
I can't say that we had a bad experience but I can't say this is my absolute favorite place either. Maybe a Hello Kitty themed coffee shop...or pizza place would satisfy my bizarre tastes better. As for the actual food, there is a two dessert limit (so I went up four times...don't do the math). I had some okay sushi, some standard shrimp, and several dry pastry items. The stand out stars were the pistachio tart and maccha cupcake (which I'm pretty sure is some weird spelling for Green Tea). I would love to help this restaurant out...by making appearances in my Hello Kitty costume once a week. I'm thinking I could make some pretty good tips.
