Limited opening set for first restaurant at Kennewick’s Vista Field
Kuki Izakaya Japanese Restaurant, the first restaurant to build at Kennewick’s Vista Field, makes its much-anticipated debut on Monday.
The restaurant will hold a limited opening on April 20 at 697 Crosswind Blvd.
Kuki Izakaya is opening with about 30% of seats as it ramps up to full service.
Owner Isabelle Na was the first to stake a claim at the Port of Kennewick’s redevelopment project at the former municipal airport. Blueberry Bridal recently held its grand opening next door.
Construction for the 3,500-square-foot restaurant began on a cold, wet day in November 2024.
“Food is always with us,” Na said at the time. “I want to be a part of your life.”
The restaurant offers indoor and patio seating to take advantage of views and Vista Field’s water feature. It includes a full-service bar.
Construction Services of Washington LLC was the general contractor.

The Port of Kennewick shut down the 103-acre former airport in 2013 and is working to redevelop it into an urban center with restaurants, retail, offices, services and residences.
Site sales began in 2022. Kuki Izakaya and Blueberry Bridal are the first to bring their projects to fruition.
