Moku Kitchen operates as a chef-led restaurant concept in downtown Honolulu that centers Hawaii's upcountry farming and ranching traditions in its sourcing and cooking. The menu emphasizes simple preparations and locally sourced ingredients, with dishes inspired by upcountry life and cooked in a rotisserie oven over open flame. Chef Peter Merriman provides the culinary twist to these upcountry specials, and the name signals an island-centered gathering place for a diverse range of guests. Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, the restaurant sits within the casual dining segment of the broader industry, blending farm-to-table sensibilities with an urban setting. It opened in SALT at Kaka'ako in Fall 2016 and operates as a small to mid-sized venue serving locals and visitors.
