Japengo
Hyatt Regency Maui
I love going to resorts and spending lazy days lounging around. When the sun goes down, it's time for some good food and Maui is one of those places.
Japengo isn't the typical hotel restaurant that serves seafood because that's what guests want on an island. They use Hawaii's locally grown products to showcase the many modern Asian-inspired dishes with a Hawaiian flair. Be prepared for a unique Pacific Rim dining experience.
Entrance to Japengo
As you enter Japengo, you're taken to a place that
seems like a far away modern Japanese village.
But the stunning sunsets and warm Hawaiian
hospitality reminds you that you're on Maui.
