    Filet mignon, ribeye, asparagus, garlic shrimp, and mashed potatoes
    Kristine K.

    Steaks were good and cooked well. Garlic shrimp lacked flavor. Mashed potatoes we added cheese and bacon however the cheese was so burnt to a crisp at top that you had to eat under it to get any potatoes. Service was slow, it felt like I went my whole meal with an empty glass. Overall best part was the steak.

    We made a reservation here for 530, shortly after they opened. It was a Tuesday night and we didn't need it, the place was mostly empty. Our server was very kind and friendly the whole evening, the service was great. We had the T-bone steak which we split, the French fries which were perfectly done, and the Mac and cheese. Everything here was very good and we enjoyed ourselves!

    Wow! Went here for a nice family dinner and we were blown away. The steak selection is incredible. We ended up getting the Brazilian ribeye, crab cakes, baked potato, and Mac n cheese. Everything was a hit. My kids are picky eaters and they ate everything. The watermelon sorbet dessert was insane. I didn't think it was going to be good but it ended up being a highlight. Our server, Isabell, was great! She gave us a super cool steak cutting show and got our food and drinks out super fast. They validated parking for the lot across the street at the Hyatt. Up to 4 hours :) One of the better steaks I've had and great service to go with it. Highly recommend!

    Great friendly service from the hostess to the waitress and everyone in between! Easy reservation on OpenTable although if you're looking for a weekend reservation I'd recommend booking a week in advance! Gorgeous intimate space with indoor and outdoor seating. Theres a bar when you enter with a cozy waiting area in case there's a wait. Since it wasn't too busy on a Tuesday we got to decide where to sit and decided to do outdoor and it was perfect. Now for food: The iceberg lettuce with blue cheese and bacon is a nice portion for two. Fries are a MUST. They are fried with beef tallow and were so yummy! Ribeye was great to share for two (could even be shared by 4) it was huge! They bring it out sizzling on a hot plate and cut it infront of you with their house butter to top it off and my goodness it was perfect!! The Lobster mac and cheese was a 10/10!!! The noodles were cooked al dente and the lobster/cheese was so creamy and delicious! It never curdled and was a highlight aside from the ribeye. It's the perfect portion for 2-3! If you're going to get any side... this is the one. Trust me! Now for the two items that knocked a star off the rating: the shrimp and asparagus. Honestly the shrimp was awful. The skin was soggy like it sat in the garlic for too long and then recooked a few times (I'm sure it wasn't but the texture and chewy-likeness felt like it). It was literally inedible. We took a bite out of one and couldn't stomach the rest. The asparagus seemed like it was pre-boiled (or possibly just over steamed), topped with cheese and then used a kitchen torch to give it a little crisp or just sat under a heat lamp for hours. They were also inedible. Given they were the only two disappoints I'd say the most important thing is the steak and for that this place is worth a try! They are reasonably priced for a steakhouse and service was friendly.

    Service was great and the ambience was really nice. My brother and I absolutely devoured everything in front of us--from the bone marrow to the bacon Brussels sprouts to a big, juicy ribeye. Plates were cleared. No survivors. The mashed potatoes were excellent, and those big ol' shrimp? So good. The only thing we didn't love was the corn--but honestly, when everything else is a 10 out of 10, that's a minor detail. We'd absolutely go back without hesitation

    Watermelon dessert is very refreshing!

    I have been on the hunt to find a new steakhouse when visiting Waikiki. I saw this restaurant on a YouTube video & read a ton of reviews. I agree the hype is real. The food was delicious! I got a side of the garlic shrimp with my steak & can't wait to have it again! I had a wonderful waiter named Taku. He was very helpful & a true gem. I can't wait to go back! And try the watermelon dessert it's amazing!

    I love the soft serve watermelon flavored dessert with rice crispies  at the bottom and chocolate chips on top .

    We have been frequenting "Aloha Steak House" in Honolulu since it opened. We go to Hawaii once or twice a year, we go to this steak house every time. This is my first review for this exemplary establishment. We made no reservations, we never have and we never wait more than ten to twenty minutes. We were greeted by a cheerful hostess and assured it wouldn't be long before we would be seated. She was right. the place is quite large, spacious and filled with lots of natural light. We were seated out on the large deck overlooking Seaside avenue. Our server, Jeffrey introduced himself and asked if we'd been here before and how things worked. He proceeded to take our drink orders and and an order for some appetisers as well. Our drinks arrived at that point he asked if we were ready to order, which we were. There were three in our party. My husband ordered the filet mignon. Our good friend, ordered the N.Y. strip and I had the twin lobster tails. Our appetisers came thick cut bacon and garlic shrimp were just what we needed to start off with. We didn't order a bottle of wine so each of us was having something different to drink we just kept them coming. The time came when or entrees arrived and we were eager to greet them! Our friends N.Y. strip arrived on a hot iron plate. Jeffrey took the steak off the the iron skillet and began carving it, in the meantime placing the butter from the plate and placing it on the hot skillet were it sizzled and placed the carved steak on it quite a presentation! My husbands filet mignon was cooked to his liking. My twin lobster tails were sizeable and so satisfying. We had two sides a baked potato and mashed potatoes. I'm afraid we were so in the moment we didn't take any pictures of the food but we did take a picture of one of my all time favourite desserts, the watermelon soft serve. This soft serve is served in green bowl the bottom filled with coco puffs and on top chocolate chips resembling seeds quite clever and so refreshing!

    If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! We came here for a milestone anniversary dinner and S/O to Kula for making the entire experience. His service was the cherry on top of a great dinner We usually go to steakhouses for anniversary dinners, so we tried Aloha Steak House. Walking in, you're greeted with the soft mumble of the current patrons and have the bar area right in front with the tables more towards the back of the restaurant. It's an upscale, trendy, more on the causal side but perfect for the area it's in. We settled on the dinner for two + the Hamachi Cruedo after ordering a couple cocktails. We started with a Hawaiian Punch and Maitai, ordering a Lychee Martini that I didn't snag a picture of. The martini was the show stopper, 100% The wedge salad was refreshing, the stuffed Portabello was so-so and the Hamachi tasted sooo fresh The Picanha come out whole and is sliced table-side and sprinkled with a bit of salt that you can add throughout the meal. And the watermelon soft serve is something I'd come back time and time again! If you ever find yourself in the Waikiki area, please come here! I would've got an a la carte steak but they were all out of the tomahawks at the time of our dinner. I'm hoping we can come back and try out other options. 10/10, need to come and try this place out

    the first one was perfect taste.

    dinner for two special $160 comes with: * wedge salad * stuffed mushroom * baked potato * asparagus * wagyu picanha * watermelon soft serve added * lobster mac * bone marrow * 3 lychee martinis * rib eye cap total was about $330 before tip. (3 adults / 2 children). my son birthday and he wanted a steakhouse. my kids have expensive taste. first martini was the BEST i ever had!!! they add guava juice in it and was so good. the next two martinis wasnt as sweet, and color wasnt as pink so they actually added more when i mentioned that. thank you! the picanha steak was oh so delicious. definitely if your going to eat here, get that cut! service was great. and it was easy to make reservations online!

    I came here to celebrate my anniversary with my husband in July. It was our first time dining here. We usually celebrate our anniversary at a steakhouse, so we decided to try Aloha Steak House this year. We were seated on the patio area outside. It had a casual feel, which was a nice change of pace for a steakhouse. Our server, Justin, was very friendly and answered all of our questions about the menu. We finally settled on ordering the 32 oz. Tomahawk to share, mashed potatoes, brussels & bacon, side grilled lobster tail, and ahi poke as an appetizer. The Tomahawk steak was delicious! I love how they cut it table-side for us and added the butter and salt to our liking. They gave us two complimentary desserts for our anniversary! The chocolate brownie was nothing special, but the star was the watermelon soft serve. It was so yummy and the perfect way to end our meal! It was very kind of them to give us two desserts, which we appreciated! Overall, we enjoyed our meal and will be back! Thank you, Aloha Steakhouse, for the great meal and awesome service! Happy Eating!

    We celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary on Oahu, so we decided to do something a bit fancy for it in between food trucks, spam musubis, and malasadas. I scheduled the reservation on Open Table for 7:30 pm and I included a note that I am handicapped and use a mobility aid. Using Yelp!, I read that we can park across the street at the Hyatt Centric, and the restaurant does validate for parking there. When we arrived at the building, I saw they had stairs, each step was a bit larger than standard steps. To the side of the steps was an elevator, but it requires someone to come out and operate it. My husband had to go up the steps to ask someone at the restaurant to help us, and that person had to call the person who operates the lift. Not wanting to wait or be late (I was also tired from walking through the parking structure and across the street), I just climbed the steps, but had to have someone carry my walker up for me. By the time I reached the top, the person we were waiting for arrived. They asked me if I wanted them to help me when we left, and I said yes. We checked in for our reservation and were seated in the bar area. It was quite warm inside, so we requested an outdoor table. They allowed me to keep my walker next to me instead of whisking it away like most other restaurants do. We ordered the 40 oz. Tomahawk steak, mashed potatoes, large french fries, Brussels sprouts with bacon and the petite wedge salad. I asked about the sides' portion sizes, whether they were large enough to share with 4 people, and was told the salad could be split with 2 people and everything else can feed 4 people. The sides came out, and that salad can only feed one person. I pretended that I didn't like bleu cheese so that my mom could have it. We ordered another large french fries, and the rest of the sides comfortably fed 2-3 people. I think I should've been more specific about the size of the people to be fed. The tomahawk arrived, and the sizzling of the plate heralded its arrival. All of the other diners' heads turned and watched the show as it was sliced. It was delicious. I read about dessert here on Yelp!, but our server didn't even offer or ask if we were interested in dessert. We were given the check, so we paid and left. I left a bit disappointed because it was a special occasion. We did call the building manager who came back out to operate the elevator so I wouldn't need to climb down the steps. The taste and presentation of the food was great. I think I would've liked larger portions or more accurate description of their size, especially since food portions everywhere else we'd been eating was so large and generous that we always had leftovers for the next meal/day. The restaurant ambiance was nice, but casual, no need to dress up. I'll be honest when I say I was ready to give only 3 stars that night. I was really peeved about how much work it was to get into the building, and how tired I was-- part of my experience. I did fix my attitude to try and rescue the evening since it was a special occasion, and the food tastes better when you have a better mindset. Thankfully, I waited a couple of days before writing this to focus on the food and experience. Accessibility notes: Elevator available to get you to the first level of the building from the street, but you will need to contact someone to contact the building manager. The building is older and was retrofitted to meet compliance, but expect to have patience to wait for someone to help you. The rest room is located in the bar which is near the entrance. The doors were cumbersome to navigate with a mobility aid. There are 2 doors to pass through to the women's restroom. The handicap accessible stall is immediately to the right of the entrance. The rest of the stalls and sinks are past the handicap stall on the right. There is another door that lets you exit the restaurant from the bathroom. The interior of the restaurant was warm and stuffy to me. If you are sensitive to warmer temperatures, ask to be seated outdoors for a refreshing breeze.

    Wife been wanting to try here, cuz she drives throughout Waikiki daily, and every time she pass by, she can smell em, so she's been had this place on her list. We were almost going to go to Aina Steak and seafood for our anniversary dinner instead of here, because of the order of the yelp recommendations, but this was conveniently located right across the street from the hotel we were staycationing at, so it was perfect and closer. Aloha Steak house is conveniently located in the heart of Waikiki, on the corner of Kuhio and Seaside Avenue. We went as soon as they opened at 5 PM. Best to make reservations, and I think they take walk in, based on availability, first come first served. Host was great, friendly, and nice. Sat us right by the entrance on the outdoor seating; she suggested outside was best. I know all I wanted was wherever it was cooler and not hot. Vibes was nice, good music playing, outdoor scenery can watch everybody pass by lol Server was nice. Forgot his name. So cool, they had baskets to hold bags. So if u have no where to place your bag, they have bag baskets. The downfall on eating on the outside is flies. Other than that, was cool. We ended up ordering the Aloha Supper for us to share. The Aloha Supper comes with the Petit Wedge Salad for first starter. I don't normally eat veggies/salad, but this one was good, and I actually finished my share. 2nd starter was stuffed portobello mushroom, and we order the hamachi poke and bone marrow on side. Oh my gosh, all was good. Wife likes the bone marrow, hamachi poke was a tad bit gingery, but was still good, and the portobello mushroom was good too!! All was good. Getting to the main dish, the Aloha Supper main entree was a 14 oz wagyu picanha and came with grilled asparagus and twice baked potato on side, and we also ordered the lobster tail. Omg, at first the steak came out and cute and small on a sizzling plate. She cooked and cut the steak in front of us and dressed it with salt. The asparagus, and the baked potato went so well with the steak. The lobster tail didn't disappoint. Whenever the wife normally orders lobster tail, everywhere else have tasted oceany. This one was not oceany and this lobster was goood!!! And for dessert, the Aloha Supper came with their signature watermelon soft serve and they gave us a complimentary anniversary brownie dessert!!! Thank you so much Aloha Steak house. Mannnn, I don't ever normally eat any fruity ice cream/soft serve kinda stuff, but this watermelon soft serve was good!!! Interestingly good. At the bottom had cocoa puff and cocoa Rice Krispies, and dressed with chocolate chips!! It went so well with it! It was so good!! And guess what, we ate everythinggggg!! Down to the brownie!! Plus she had 3 beers, and I had 2 glasses of red wine! Oh gosh everything was so good. Thank you again Aloha Steak house for making our anniversary dinner special. Would we come here again? Yes! 10/10 recommend! Go check out Aloha Steak house!

    Do they have a bar you can sit at?

    Yes, they do. It's not too big, though.

    Where do we park?

    Hyatt Centric lot across the street on Seaside Ave. Go up the steep ramp. Parking here is validated by the restaurant.

    Do they have table bread?

    No, at the time of our visit it was not offered .... garlic bread is on the starter menu

    Does Aloha Stake House offer kamaaina discount or military discount?

    They do offer kamaaina discount!

    I'm trying to make a reservation for this Sunday, 2/19 for 10 people at 6:30-7pm but I can't get through to anyone on the phone. I started calling from 5:30 -9 and no one answered. Can someone please help me?

    I suggest using the OpenTable app. That's the route I did. Hopefully by the time u see this message you already got your reservations. Good luck

    How big are your garlic shrimp -- size 16/20 or whatever?

    20 size

    Is there a contactless pay option?

    Yes, they have tablets that accept most NFC payment options

    We're trying to make reservations for Monday October 10? But open table says nothing is open.

    Looks like they are not booking for October yet. Try again on the 9/1 and bet you'll be set. We really enjoyed Aloha Steakhouse!

    Proof of vaccination is still required?

    No need any more!

    How do you reserve a tomahawk steak? Do you have to call the day of or can you add a note in the Open table reservation app? Don't want to miss out!

    Is it possible to order watermelon soft serve for take-out?

    Yes of course! Anytime on our business hours.

    No dress code, in that it's casual wear. They provide disposable aprons for you to wear so the oil/butter does not splatter on your clothes from the hot sizzling plate

    Do they serve the Tomahawk Steak during lunch?

    For what I know I believe it's only served and offered at dinner time, but feel free to give them a call in advanced. Aloha 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

The moment you walk in the staff greets you like you are part of the family. Their smiles are warm and bright. Even the uncle that's in the parking lot goes out of his way to make sure your cars are well looked after so you don't have to worry. What can I see? The food experience was 10 out of 10 for us. We started off with the smoked grilled octopus. It was so tender. You could cut it with a fork. It had a very nice smoky flavor with a bit of char and a little bit of crunch. It was a perfect bite. Impaired with the chili pepper water took it over the top. We also ordered the fried brussels sprouts with the drizzle of honey, the broccolini and the truffle mashed potatoes. All of these dishes were seasoned too perfection. Even the truffle mash just a subtle subtle flavor of the delicate mushroom, not overpowering at all. Everything was so well balanced. When our entries arrived, which was the Nakamura prime rib and the pork chop both were really good! The whole dining experience was a 10 out of 10 we shared it with some good friends and it was a really memorable 42nd anniversary.

    The only word I can come up with to describe this meal is "Yikes"…read more I came here with a group of 6 friends for dinner. I was excited about the prime rib so I preordered. I ordered the charred Caesar salad and duck fat fries. The charred salad was odd, I think I was expecting a light smoke but I guess they were true to the title because it was charred. My prime rib was the standard medium rare but it took some cutting because there was so much connective tissue that had not melted, the fat hadn't melted either. It was just bad. I asked the server about the prime rib and she said it's supposed to have a lot of fat because of the cut. Absolutely true, but it's supposed to melt not be huge chunks. It also needed the horseradish, it had no flavor otherwise. The server was nice and took half off the prime rib. The fries tasted like a standard fry I've had before, nothing special. I tried the lobster pasta my friend had and it was delicious, everyone who ordered pasta at the table was satisfied which is great but this is a steak restaurant. The server was really nice. I wouldn't come back even if someone else was paying. But my dog appreciated the prime rib I brought home, so I guess that's a win?

    Great experience for a birthday celebration, they blew us away by just a simple "happy birthday"…read morefrom Ali the bartender as we waited for the rest of our party...little touches like that happened all night and made it a special evening, thank you Hy's team! It ended with a desert plate with birthday candle, no loud obnoxious singing, just an elegant way to end the evening and acknowledge the birthday girls day! We did pay in advance for that celebration, and even moved the reservation a day earlier and only about 3-4 hours before, not sure they can always accommodate that late of a change and still pull off all the birthday touches, but they did for us and left us truly impressed, impeccable service. Inside the decor at the bar is from an 1800's estate in Pennsylvania, and Hy's even makes a nod to Delmonico's with a ribeye named after them. Having eaten at Delmonico's in Manhattan, they achieved the same level of service and food was great as well. Do not be dissuaded by the entrance from the street, it is in an older hotel/building and initial looks are not great, but step inside and you are transported to a truly great evening of elegance, food and service.

    My husband has been going here for 40+ years but hadn't been in 15 or so. We showed up at 713 pm…read morefor our 730 pm reservation, and were told our table wasn't ready. They sat us in the bar area to get a drink. We were finally sat at 743 pm, after another family sat at a 3 top 10 minutes before us that had just arrived (the table had been empty the entire time we were waiting). Service was ok but not great. Empty glasses sat on the table for a while. Then our $210 steak arrived and it was overcooked- ordered it rare and came over medium. By this point, we were so tired we didn't want to send it back so we tried to chew it. Everyone around us seemed happy so maybe it was just us, but it didn't get off to a good start from the beginning for us. For a $400 dinner for 3, there are better options in town- sad to say.

    We were in Pearl city and did a little shopping at Walmart and we got very hungry so we decided to…read moredrive around and we found this restaurant. We both ordered the ribeye steak, mashed potato, asparagus and fried rice. Both ribeye steaks were cooked to the exact doneness. The size of the ribeye steak was pretty big. Luckily I was very hungry so I finished my steak. The asparagus was very delicious and the mashed potato was very delicious too. Our server, Elijah did an excellent job answering any questions and was very attentive to what we ordered. When the meals came in. He even asked to double check the doneness of the steak by cutting it right down the middle and it was cooked to perfection. I don't remember the last time I went to a steak restaurant other than my birthday, so it's very rare to go to a restaurant and order steak. So this was a large treat to me. The restaurant had a very nice atmosphere with the lighting dim and the music very soft. This restaurant was very busy luckily we just wanted a seating for two even though they asked if we had a reservation and we didn't so we got lucky.

    Little Joe's steakhouse is conveniently located on Nimitz Highway across from City Mill…read more We went to this location several times and enjoy the food and service. This visit we came for a late Father's Day celebration. Of course we all ordered steak since this is a steakhouse! We made reservations and we're probably seated at 5 PM. Since we were here early, restaurant was not very crowded at that time, but did fill up pretty good while we were there. One thing that I don't like about Little Joe's steakhouse is that they have the music playing very loudly that it makes it difficult to have conversations over dinner and even give your order to your server. We ordered the filet mignon, ribeye steak, chicken tenders and had sides of potatoes au gratin, sautéed mushrooms, grilled asparagus, fried rice with steak, and garlic fries. The food is consistently good, but I was disappointed in my steak as I ordered the ribeye to be cooked medium, but the steak I received was well done. It was still tasty, but definitely overcooked. My dad ordered the filet mignon medium but it came back rare. This surprised me, because in the past, they've cooked their steaks consistently to order, but cooking a good steak to well done is a definite, no no. Our server, however, was excellent, prompt and very polite. Ambience 3 stars Food 3.5 stars Service 4 stars

First things first, park at the Hyatt Centric parking lot. Dining at Basalt gets you three hours of FREE parking. Cautionary statement: Watch the corners as you enter and exit. The lanes are skinny and you have to pay attention. Ok, onto the dinner. We skipped appetizers and went straight for dinner. Prime Rib for me, pasta with shrimp for the gf. Both were on point. The prime rib was seasoned perfectly and the pasta had choke shrimp (see pic) and garlic. To top it off, I got a free slice of chocolate mousse cake with fresh berries. I got a coconut sorbet on the side and the kitchen staff threw in free arare cookies. Which leads me into the most important point I want to make here. The service was awesome. Everyone from the hostess who seated us, to our server Candace, and the two women that served us....all gave great service. They were very nice and treated us great. We are definitely coming back to try their other menu items. Plus if you are kama'aina, you get 10% knocked off the bill. Cheeeeehooooo

    Need a great take-out meal for a great price? Ray's will not disappoint. There are a few tables,…read morebut the beauty of this place is that you're not paying for the ambiance, you're paying for delicious no frills prime rib, and if you're lucky, lobster tail too! We ordered the prime rib & 3 lobster tails special for $69.99 and fed three people (one is a smallish person). We ordered a back-up plate lunch with the smoked ham steaks that we barely touched, because we were so full. Most prices are under $30, and they have a great breakfast menu as well. Even though it was a busy day, our food came out in just a few minutes. Glad this place is still around. Can't wait to go again next time I need a cheap protein boost!

It's a "hole in the wall" type ambiance. But when the quality is this good for the money, ambience takes a back seat. We went on a day that missed out on the best prime rib in the state. Those days are Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. And you best get there before closing cuz they run out fast! They also have the best pork chops I've ever eaten and those too run out early. We got there late on Wednesday and had the NY steak. It was a great size and tender cut with asparagus. It was excellent. We also had the chicken but was no longer crispy as we had takeout and didn't get to eat it until a couple of hours later but the flavor was good. Parking is street only so you best find a side street and park as it's busy. They deal in cash only! **** Most all plates come with a salad and rice.

    STRIPSTEAK is quite an experience!…read more Lovely ambiance and vibes; very calm and dimly light inside, definitely perfect for celebrations, anniversaries, date nights and more! Both indoor and outdoors seating available. We had chose outdoor seating; but we were not seated next to other guests. Service is top notch, very kind and attentive. Checks in but doesn't hover, no pressure to order more. Had lovely suggestions. It is definitely pricier than other restaurants. We had tried the Prime NY Steak and King Salmon which turned out to be very delicious and fulfilling. Although Stripsteak is pricier, it does live up to it's hype; perfect for dining or celebrating all occasions. Amazing service, delicious entrees, very memorable experience. Would definitely return in the future.

    Hands down, this place was my favorite restaurant in this area. One star lost due to receptionist…read moretelling us all tables inside were booked but yet the entire time we sat outside with the flies, there was maybe one table with people there. Odd. Just odd. Food and servers made up for it. Best lamb chops I have had ever. Loved the Brussel sprouts . The salmon was pretty perfect as well, First time I have had wyagu but wasn't impressed since it was so fatty! Food presentation and timing were beautiful. Definitely a place I look forward to returning to.
