Kai Ika Japanese & Pizza Restaurant
Kai Ika
The top-rated restaurant in Alofi. A Tokyo-trained chef makes sushi and sashimi, and the kitchen also serves New York-style sourdough pizza. It is the go-to place on the island for freshly caught fish.
Located in central Alofi, across from Opaahi Road, this restaurant is run by the Avi family and has consistently ranked first among Alofi restaurants on TripAdvisor. The signature dishes are sushi, sashimi and chirashi (sushi rice topped with raw fish) made with fish caught the same day, along with New York-style sourdough pizza. The 'Niue pizza' is topped with fish, papaya and chili. The restaurant also serves craft beer and premium ice cream. Guests who catch their own fish can ask the kitchen to prepare it. Dinner is very busy, so booking ahead is recommended. Prices are similar to those in New Zealand. Opening hours are generally Monday to Friday for lunch and dinner, but they change often. The parking lot is behind the restaurant.
