Kaimuki’s SEED restaurant sprouts on Valentine’s Day

A new restaurant will have its soft opening from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, Valentine’s Day, a night known in the restaurant industry as among the four busiest of the year.

As do many restaurants, SEED will offer a farm-to-table menu with some ingredients plucked from its on-site garden, according to head chef Yiuing Lee Pinches. Her culinary career has taken her through kitchens in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles, to Osaka, Japan.
