    Top Sirloin Steak Plate
    Rianna G.

    Respectfully, what kind of steak is white and why is every piece dry?? This made me lose my appetite.

    Confirming my med-rare steak request

    This place is located right inside Foodland Farms in the Ala Moana Shopping Center. I've passed by it several times before when I was in town but decided to finally give it a try yesterday. We got the Steak, Garilc Shrimp, BBQ Shoyu Chicken, Fried Rice, Potato Salad and the Kimchee Coleslaw. The portions were huge and everything tasted pretty good. For the steak you have a choice of about 4 different flavors (Lilikoi BBQ, Garlic Butter, Chimichuri, etc), the Fried Rice was very flavorful and the Garlic Shrimp was good (just hate the shell). I didn't care much for the Potato Salad but it wasn't terrible and my Dad who has a high spice tolerance said the Kimchee Coleslaw was spicy but good. For the amount of food you get I feel like price wise its a little on the high side but its not bad. The 3 plates we got cost a total of $58 (the Fried Rice option is $2.99 extra per plate). I recommend giving this place a try!

    The food was above average but a little pricey. My plate lunch came out to $21. I got the Ultimate Mix Plate (bbq chicken, steak, garlic shrimp) $17.99 with an upgrade to steak fried rice for $2.99 more. They didn't give that much protein. It just looks like a lot because it was sitting on the fried rice. They gave a lot of fried rice. I chose potato for my salad of choice with a side of lilikoi bbq sauce for the steak. The chicken was moist and tender. It was the best thing on the plate. The four piece garlic shrimp was coated in flour, deep fried and the garlic butter sauce was drizzled on after. I could tell the shrimp wasn't fresh as the meat was a little mushy. The steak was nicely seasoned and tender, but served at room temperature.

    I always pass by this place whenever I'm shopping at Foodland Farms and finally decided to try it out today. I'm so disappointed that I waited this long! It was SOOO GOOD and I definitely can't wait to come back again!

    Got mixed plate: steak and garlic chicken. I went the store at 3pm(they close at 8pm) so it was not busy but I needed to wait for 10 minutes after placing the order. The employees were kind and polite though. Garlic chicken was good: it went well with my brown rice. I didn't like their steak: it was hard, dry and didn't go well with chimichurri sauce. It was a bit disappointment after 10 minute wait....

    CODY last time here was over a year ago CODY ordered the top sirloin steak with potato salad and rice CODY tasty food was much better than last year's failure CODY counter staff were friendly and speedy CODY ordering area was clean and organized CODY will return to order more food

    It is like a fast food set up

    Located inside the Foodland supermarket at Ala Moana shopping center. Once you enter the supermarket, you can find this place on the left side. The set up is like a fast food place, you order, pick up, find a seat at the common area and enjoy your food. We ordered two items, the daily special "Smoke prime rib", we asked for having fried instead and it was $3 extra. The smoke favor of the prime rib is nice and rich, if you never try a smoke prime rib, go give it a try, it was surprising good. I ordered the steak and garlic shrimp, the steak is very chewy, ever it is at medium rare, kind of disappointed. The garlic shrimp is very good, both me and my wife love it. We also order a small coke, dinner for two set you back $50. No the cheapest price for a quick take out dinner. For my steak, I only rate it a 5 out of 10, for my wife's smoke prime rib, 7.5 out of 10. If you don't want to dress up to go to a fancy steak house but craving steak for dinner, you can give it a try. The staffs are nice, location is convenance, lots of tables and chairs. What I will do next time is to order one steak plate and go to Foodland and get a poke bowl, we can share both items for dinner, that will be a nice combination!

    Food was prepared fast and it was good. I had a good service. The portion is a good size so one is enough for very hungry person or two meals for me. Probably we got the Ultimate Mix Plate. Ultimate Mix Plate, you can choose 3 choices from steak, BBQ chicken, garlic chicken, garlic shrimp, house smoked meat, hose smoked pork candy bacon. Choice of white or brown rice, and green salad or potato salad. There are eating area right by this place. It's also eating area for the Foodland customer. It's inside the Ala Moana Foodland. Located right after the coffee shop.

    I came here and wanted to return. I got a dish that was quite good. It came on a bed of spinach and was the meat, candied bacon. And although it looked like a tiny bit, it was represented in the end product. I saw some sample plates with prices and don't remember what the name of the dish was. I think it was a bowl, and I ordered it with spinach because I thought it would be healthier and I wouldn't need to look for a salad. Wouldn't have been hard in Foodland, but it was an extra step that I didn't want to take. The only hiccup was that the person plating my dish used the scale to measure the meat. Not a problem, except that she was measuring shrimp and I'm allergic to it. Also, she was going to use the same spoon to measure my meat. But changed her mind. And the stickiness of the sauce was a little off-putting. The flavor was good though. This wouldn't be a destination spot for me. But if in the area and a touch hungry, I may stop by for something else.

    After many, many Steak plates and burgers from HI Steaks it was time for a review. This location is in Foodland Farms Ala Moana, near the cashiers. I must admit that they have one of the better burgers I've eaten, but with Steak in your name, well... The Top Sirloin Steak Plate ($13.99) comes with your choice of different rice, Asian Potato Salad or Green Salad and 5 different sauces to choose from. You can also order mix plates with Garlic shrimp, BBQ Chicken, Garlic Chicken or Garlic shrimp. The steak can be a hit or miss, leaning on the higher percentage on the good side. Bowls and other plates are available like their Smoke meat, also a good choice. Check them out, a good option when you're on the area. 3.5 - 4 Stars

    when I order something online via mobile or on DoorDash... I expect the restaurant to work on my order according to the time that I issued the order. The whole idea was to order ahead and by the time I get there, the food would be ready. According to the DoorDash app, it would take between 20 and 25 minutes for the order to be complete, and it took me about 20 minutes to get to the restaurant. There were several people ahead of me, and I even waited patiently until I could speak to an associate. Once I told her that I had a mobile order, I was expecting her to just give me my order because at that point it should've been completed, she realized That "Oh! You had an order?!?!" and then proceeded to work on it just right then and there. So I had to wait a while longer for order that was supposedly done (but wasn't) ... I was thinking to myself, why did I go on DoorDash to order food that I could've just arrived there and ordered it myself? I was hoping that my food would just be ready and I would just get up and go, but I had to wait for everyone in line in front of me until it was time to finally receive my food. As you can see on the DoorDash app, it says to skip the line and to pick up your item, they say this because it is assumed that they had received my order and was working on it as I was on my way to pick it up. That wasn't the case tonight! Don't get me wrong, HI steaks has pretty decent food. Just make sure that if you wanna order ahead of time, that you actually get there ahead of time and don't even bother about making the process more convenient for you by ordering via mobile because they don't pay attention to their mobile orders and you might as well just arrive there in order right then and there. You'll get your food at the same time.

    Still waiting on Thanksgiving meal pickup...supposed to be ready half hour ago.

    Wow, HISteaks you delivered well this past Thanksgiving. I had seen a post on FB about your Thanksgiving meals to go. The price was right. The menu sounded delicious. Visited the HISteaks at Ala Moana, which is located just inside Foodland Farms. Ended up ordering and prepaying the package which included a whole smoked turkey and fixings (see picture attached). Turned out to be memorably delicious. No dessert was included in the package (which I really like that way...always delicious homemade desserts in bounty). What was included was the most delicious stuffing WITH generous nice chunks of smoked pork belly, the most delicious cranberry relish with pineapple and macadamia nuts, a pan of garlic mashed potatoes, a tray of brussel sprouts and green beans, not just sage gravy...two generous containers of it, and turkey drippings. Enjoyed the smoked turkey bones which made the base for a delicious vegetable soup. This was my first experience with HISteaks but certainly won't be the last! Why the deduction of a star? While the food was delicious, getting someone to take the initial order was a little cumbersome. Also, while the time for pickup was designated, when I arrived about 20 minutes after the assigned time, the turkey was not ready. Instead I had to wait about another 20 minutes. The counter girl said they called me (which I did see two missed calls from a number I did not recognize) but no message. I don't answer possible scam calls, especially on a holiday. If they had left a message I would have called them back...or better yet, if any message was left telling me of the delayed pickup time...I certainly would have appreciated that. Thankful for the otherwise good service and delicious food.

    We came here a couple of times. Usually the food tastes decent. But the last time we ordered from here the food tasted different. I ordered the garlic shrimp plate. It came with white rice and a green salad. The salad contained kale and spinach. The shrimp tasted a bit too salty. It tasted cold and over seasoned. But the service needs an adjustment. Maybe we arrived here later in the evening. But the cashier allowed another couple to come in front of us - even though we arrived earlier than them. When we mentioned it, the young lady did not apologize or even acknowledge her actions. What happened to the customer service?

Getting a reservation for a party of more than six was very difficult since they never answered their phone, but don't let that stop you. We drove by and made the reservation in person, and thankfully, it worked out! When we arrived, we were greeted by our friendly server (Kat), who made sure our table was ready and everything was perfect. The ambiance of this place was beautiful. We loved the dark walls and dim lighting--it felt cozy, intimate, and very romantic. For appetizers, we ordered the bone marrow, clams, escargot, shishito peppers, and duck-fat fries. Everything came out relatively quickly and was delicious. The fries were especially addicting--we loved them so much that we had to order a second serving! For our main courses, we decided to do everything family-style and ordered the rack of lamb, porterhouse, beef ragu, corn on the cob, and sautéed mushrooms. The little ones had the smoked meat with rice and mac and cheese. The entrees took a little longer to come out, but it was completely understandable considering how much food we ordered! And the portions definitely did not disappoint. There was more than enough food for all 10 of us, with plenty left over for lunch the next day. The porterhouse steak was gigantic and perfectly cooked, but surprisingly, our favorite was the rack of lamb. The meat was so tender and juicy--absolutely delicious! Overall, The Cutlery was such a wonderful experience. Great food, beautiful ambiance, generous portions, and friendly service made it the perfect spot for my husband's birthday celebration. We all left happy, full, and already talking about what we'd order again next time. Definitely a place we would come back to!

Our…read morereservation was for 5:00 p.m., during the restaurant's advertised happy hour, which runs until 7:00 p.m. Before arriving, we had looked at the happy hour menu online and assumed those selections would be available during that time. We were seated in the dining room and ordered drinks, but no one mentioned that happy hour was restricted to a different seating area. It was only after we received the dinner menus, noticed the happy hour selections were missing, and specifically asked our waiter about them that we were told the happy hour menu could not be ordered in the dining area. By then, we had already ordered our drinks at full price. I think this is something the restaurant should make much clearer on its website and during the reservation and seating process. If a 5:00 p.m. reservation places guests in an area where the advertised happy hour does not apply, that should be disclosed before they are seated, or at minimum before they begin ordering. The difference affects not only price, but also the food selections available and the overall dining experience. Our group was actually a little stumped by the regular dinner menu because the options were much more limited than what we had been looking at online. I asked specifically about the Scallops Dynamite because I do not tolerate spicy food well. I told our waiter that I did not like spicy food, and he explained that the dynamite sauce could be served on the side and that the scallops themselves were basically seasoned with seeds. Unfortunately, even without the sauce, the scallops were extremely spicy. I could barely eat them. The heat was intense enough that I drank my entire glass of water and then much of my daughter's trying to cool my mouth. When the waiter came back and asked how everything was, I told him directly that I could not eat the scallops because they were far too spicy. He smiled and walked away. There was no offer to replace them, remake them without the spicy seasoning, suggest another entrée, or even acknowledge that the dish was not what I had been led to expect. That was probably the most disappointing part of the experience. At a restaurant at this price point, where many items are à la carte, I would expect the staff to be more attentive to whether a guest can actually enjoy the meal, especially after the guest specifically asked about the spice level before ordering. There was also a smaller moment that reflected the overall lack of attention to detail. Our guest of honor arrived wearing two leis, and the waiter immediately said, "Happy Birthday." He had to correct him and explain that he was actually leaving the islands. A more polished approach would have been something simple like, "Are we celebrating anything special tonight?" It could just as easily have been a birthday, promotion, retirement, anniversary, or farewell. I dine out and travel frequently, so I understand that not every meal or service interaction will be perfect. But several things missed the mark here, and together they changed what should have been a special farewell dinner. We will not be returning, but I do hope management takes the feedback constructively, particularly regarding clearer disclosure of the happy hour seating restrictions and how staff respond when a guest clearly cannot eat the dish they ordered. My advice for first time diners is ask where you will be seated if you're hoping for a full menu option during happy hour. The website is misleading.

There was so much delicious food we asked for take out containers for the oxtail ramen and tender grilled beef. We had to pass on dessert. Actually my melon float was like a pretty dessert. Hubs drank a lychee soda. Highly recommend this restaurant. Come for the food, atmosphere and friendliest staff. We even caught a glimpse of their very young boss who also greeted us when he arrived.

    Always been wanting to try this place out, but could never find the time. Finally made it out here…read moreon a Friday around 5p (with no reservations) there were a handful of people in the establishment. We were welcomed in, though told that we had to depart by a certain time because there was another reservation coming in. Not a problem for us, appreciated the head's up. We were at a countertop seating, towards the restrooms. We could still see the cooks grilling in our peripheral view. We noticed that when it got busy, the place got super duper smokey really fast, to the point where they opened the front door to air some of that out. I wished they had a better ventilation system because we definitely left there smelling of smoke. As for the food, definitely shareable with different dishes from grilled meats to sides and starches. The server was also kind in helping us navigate through the menu when we had first arrived. There's a lot going on, in terms of specials of the day. Though I noticed, that when it got busy, we saw less and less of our server, and had to flag him down for more water several times. Save some room for dessert, for their sister company (Cha to Gelato Zen) is located right next door. Overall, if you're looking for a lively (loud) spot to drink and/or eat pupus, this place has an interesting vibe to it.

    I was spending my birthday week in Hawaii, and was wondering what I should have for dinner on my…read moreactual birthday. I wasn't even sure what I wanted to eat. Was just walking around and happened to walk inside of Duke's Lane. And there I see it... A sign that says Prime Rib. Well.. That sounds bomb! Looks like I have my restaurant and what I'm going to eat. So once dinner time hit, I head over to Basalt! The Prime Rib was delicious. Perfectly cooked and tender. It comes with mashed potatoes, vegetable medley, and creamy horseradish and au jus sauce. Ah everything was delicious! I finished it all! Washed it down with a Basalt Mai Tai! For dessert - I got the Mochi Brownie. Mmm.. Mmm.. So good! Also got hooked up with a scoop of vanilla gelato! (Make this a thing! Lol). I was stuffed and had to get some steps in before heading back to the hotel. Lol. Service - Really good and friendly. I sat at the bar and Mykah (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) was awesome and gave some good recommendations. Price $45 for the prime rib. Can't beat that! Will I be back? Oh heck yes! See you when I see you Basalt!

    my partner and i found ourselves visiting basalt almost every day of our weeklong trip on oahu…read morebecause every item we ordered off their menu was spectacular! they balanced flavors beautifully with super fresh ingredients and focused on the texture as much as the taste. we honestly never would have expected some of our favorite meals on the island to come from a restaurant tucked away in the back of an unassuming food court on kuhio ave! PICTURED 01. citrus-cured salmon toast: country bread, lemon-cream cheese, scrambled eggs, capers, red onions, chives, waipoli mixed greens ($22) if i could eat this for breakfast every day, i could envision becoming a morning person. i loved how the citrus and capers brightened every savory bite. the bread was perfectly toasted and the vegetables were wonderfully crisp. 02. crab cake benedict: english muffin, kale, two poached waialua eggs, hollandaise, yuzu kosho honey mustard, sidewinder potatoes ($28) this was a refreshing take on a classic breakfast item. the crab cake and potatoes were salted just right! 03. charcoal buttermilk pancakes: guava strawberry sauce, ash whipped cream, berries ($20) these pancakes were a DREAM: fluffy and accompanied by sauce that was not too sweet!

    We came to Stripsteak for happy hour and it was AMAZING! We sat at the bar and had great service…read moreand even better food. The happy hour is limited to the bar, but there are so many good options, including some seafood favorites like Kona lobster toast, oysters, spicy ahi tacos, and even a NY strip! I had the oysters and spicy ahi tuna tacos, and both were so good. My mom got the bone marrow prime beef burger and fries, which was put together table side. Such a fun presentation and the burger was delicious! I also had the Stripsteak martini, which came with black truffle and blue cheese-stuffed olives. Definitely a fun drink if you like a dirty martini! Overall, this was such a great spot to stop for happy hour. The food felt really high quality, the service was great, and there were so many things I wanted to try. If you're looking for an upscale happy hour with amazing food, definitely check out Stripsteak. 10/10 recommend!

    Excellent experience from start to finish for our anniversary dinner…read more We ordered the truffle Caesar salad, bacon wrapped scallops, ribeye, asparagus, short rib fried rice, and an Old Fashioned. Everything was well prepared and full of flavor, with the ribeye being the highlight for us. The service was outstanding, attentive, professional, and welcoming throughout the meal. One of our favorite dinners in Hawaii and definitely a restaurant we would return to.
