Yum Cha - Hyatt

OUR STORY
The year was 2006, there were award-winning
restaurants honoring cuisine of the islands,
Italy, and Japan, but what was missing? Ah,
it became clear that the south shore needed a
modern Asian restaurant. Seeking to create
a casual, free-spirited restaurant that would
feature family-style dining of shared plates,
YUM CHA was born.
After a few scrumptious trips to Oahu to sample
some of the tastiest Asian restaurants, the
concept began to come to fruition. The restaurant
opened with Chef Romel Begonia, a Westside
boy who has moved on to create delicacies in
other kitchens at the resort, who learned handson
by studying under the tutelage of Master
Chefs in China and Thailand to add to his existing
“local-style” repertoire of Korean-Japanese-
Chinese-Hawaiian Fusion. It is through this
mix of brainstorming, culinary exploration, and
creative license to play that YUM CHA was
born. It has since grown to be a local favorite
as well as a hit with visitors to the island.
Chef Reno Rodriguez has brought the menu to
new levels of taste sensation, crafting unique
fusions of flavor that are sure to please. Chef
Reno and proprietor Kenneth Semerau
welcome you to enjoy the many flavors of
YUM CHA in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
