Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... Piikoi Steak was better than I expected! The service was outstanding. The environment was calm and elegant. The food was beautiful and delicious! Gosh - I didn't even get the server's name... my bad! He was very polite and professional. He was attentive and had great timing. My used dishes were taken away promptly. He checked up on me, offered me a free drink refill, and asked if I had room for homemade dessert... Uh... I'll pass because I had food coma already! This space used to house an upscale restaurant. Reviews state that the decor was kept. I have no idea. I thought that it was pleasant! It could use a bit more air-conditioning... LOL! Steak on a sizzling platter, topped with a cube of butter was quite appealing! I consumed everything... the fresh green salad, all of the corn kernels, slivers of onion, grains of rice, and bits of mashed potato... yum! That steak sauce and garlic chips were very tasty and added more flavor to the steak! The meat was tender and juicy! If I went back, I'd try the pork, out of curiosity. I didn't get it because the place is Piikoi "Steak"! read more

As a steakhouse lover and someone from Japan, I had to check out this Japanese‑style steak restaurant. We came for lunch, and the dining room was pretty quiet. The lunch menu is limited, but straightforward. We ordered the beef steak sets, which came with steak toppings, corn, small cup‑sized salads, white rice, and non‑alcoholic drinks. We also added the house wine. The steaks were cooked exactly as ordered -- medium rare -- but the meat was a bit tough to cut and on the chewy side. The salad was tiny but tasty. The white rice was very good (Japanese‑approved), and the house wine was surprisingly solid. I do wish they offered a bit more variety on the menu, or at least upgraded the steak cut to something like a New York strip or ribeye. Overall, it's a decent and reasonably priced lunch spot. Clean space, attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere. I imagine the experience is a bit different at dinnertime. read more

-This is a hidden gem of a steakhouse -Location is on the main street but can be difficult to see -Parking is on the tougher side but able to park at Ala Moana and cross the street (Unofficially) -Service was good, food was cooked well, enjoyed the establishment. Would come again. read more

The steak here is insanely good. It's perfectly buttery with just the right amount of peppery flavor. I loved that it's served on a hot stone sizzling plate, it stays warm and makes the whole experience feel a little extra. Service was also super quick, which I appreciated. The mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, and the steak sauce paired really well with everything. It's a bit on the pricier side, but honestly not bad for a simple, solid steak meal. Definitely worth it if you're craving something satisfying without all the fuss. read more

Piikoi Steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This was my 1st time trying Piikoi Steak and I have to say it was an amazing experience. Located across from Ala Moana next to Side Street Inn, they have three stalls next to the restaurant and a parking structure across the building. I didn't know what to expect going in but the interior is simple and upscale. Luckily we came early and were seated immediately. Our server Sheva was upbeat and friendly. She explained the menu and also gave us tips on how best to enjoy the food. Their menu consists of either a 7oz or 10.5oz Beef Steak or Pork Chop, or a combination of the two. Each option comes with salad and a choice of either Japanese Rice, Mashed Potatoes or Baguette. We ordered the 10.5oz steak, 10.5 oz pork chop, mashed potatoes, Japanese rice, whipped garlic cream, pineapple sorbet and vanilla bean ice cream. They recommend the steak be rare or medium rare because it comes out on a hot plate and continues to cook as you eat. The steak was so tender and pairs well with the whipped garlic cream and steak sauce. The pork to me was tender but needed more seasoning. Next time we will order two steaks instead. The mashed potatoes are silky smooth and more neutral in flavor to contrast against the flavorful steak and accompaniments. I highly recommend adding garlic chips to the mashed potatoes to add an extra crunch and kick. Their sorbet and ice cream comes with homemade cornflake cereal that adds the perfect crunch. The pineapple sorbet is surprisingly creamy for a sorbet, super refreshing and not tart. Their vanilla ice cream is smooth and you can taste the vanilla bean. 10/10 will definitely come again! read more

The ambiance in this quaint little restaurant is casual & intimate. A great place for lunch/dinner with a friend or a date! As you enter there is a large table for a larger group. There is a little private room to the left (Not sure how many it can seat, as it was behind a curtain). The main dining area has about 5 tables that seat 2-4 people each. The menu is just 1 page. We got the large steak & the large pork chop, each came with a choice of 1 free topping. We got the garlic cream for the steak & daikon & ponzu for the pork chop. Each meal came with a salad & a drink included. The entrees came out pretty quick on sizzling platters. They smelt amazing! The toppings paired perfectly with our entrees. There was complimentary garlic chips & steak sauce on the table. I didn't know it was steak sauce & poured some in the daikon & ponzu... but, it made for a perfect sauce for the pork chop! Just trust me & try it together! The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare & the pork chop medium. We didn't get to try their homemade ice cream, because we were stuffed. Maybe next time! Overall, ambience was nice & intimate, service was very attentive, and the food was delicious! Both the steak & the pork chop were tender & juicy. We will definitely be back! Oh, I almost forgot. There are a few parking stalls right up against the restaurant. But, if those are full, there is a few street parking & the pay parking right behind the restaurant (where Ichiriki, Do Won, Airpark Karaoke, etc. are). read more

Visiting for work, wanted some steak, found this place recommended by some homies I have here in town, was absolutely worth it, the steak was perfectly seasoned and tender, service was quick and friendly.

Stopped by Piikoi Steak on Piikoi Street for lunch craving some premium beef. Opted for what they called their Washugyu steak - the American Wagyu-style cut that's supposed to be super marbled and juicy. It arrived sizzling on the hot iron plate with that Japanese sauce, looking promising alongside mashed potatoes and Japanese rice. The steak had nice tenderness and flavor from the marbling, but it was overseasoned for my taste, and the portion felt small for the price in Honolulu. Service was quick and friendly in the casual spot, but the limited menu (mostly beef or pork) left me wanting more sides or options. Decent for a quick steak fix near downtown, but I've had better Wagyu elsewhere - worth trying if you're nearby, just manage expectations. read more

Overall rating: Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Me and my friends had a good time at Piikoi Steak House. Hopefully they'll continue this business since I heard this is a pop up restaurant. There's only one sever but she very friendly and attentive. They have a simple menu. All the meal comes with a set with salad and rice/mashed potato or baguette. I picked mashed potato and it tastes very smooth and creamy. The beef steak and pork chop steak are very tender and juicy. I would highly recommend this steak house. read more

Popup till end of 2025 so go check them out before it's gone! I hope they find a permanent spot because I enjoyed my meal there! Definitely casual steak because the cut wasn't anything fancy, as reflected in the prices. The decor inside looked fancy though as it's formerly a high end restaurant that specialized in truffle dishes. However I had a great experience still even though I had better steak elsewhere. I love how it's served on a hot iron skillet with paper wrapping around it containing the splatter. The corn that went with it was such a great side dish. Salad was ok, the dressing was too vinegary for me. Don't forget to get their whipped garlic cream! Goes so well with the steak and everything! Also appreciate how the rice was delicious too! The lady who served me was very friendly. Even though she's a native Japanese speaker who spoke broken English, she's very nice and tried to make a conversation with me too. Great spot for a $25 steak that you don't have to grill yourself! read more

The steak was prepared to a perfect medium-rare, showcasing a delightful charred crust. Its texture was impeccable, and the flavors were incredibly delicious. The accompaniments, including garlic whipped butter soy ginger sauce and grated daikon with ponzu sauce, complemented the steak beautifully without being overpowering. These flavor combinations provided a unique and delightful experience, making me crave for more. The staff were courteous and professional, and the ambiance was perfect--a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional establishment. A hidden gem. read more

This place is two thumbs up. We ordered three 7 oz steaks, medium rare with all 3 sides. Mashed potatoes, baguette , rice and the fried potatoes were all yummy.The steak sauce, garlic chips and garlic cream sauce enhanced the steak and took it to the next level. The menu is small but I like how they focus on what's important, which is the steak! We got the homemade ice cream at the end and it was so yummy. Definitely the cherry on the top. So ono!! Service was excellent too.. the server Yuko was very attentive and nice. I'll definitely be back and will recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Always want to try new place. This place opened former(?!) Margotto( which had a problem and closed but they said renovation and gonna reopen, I'm not sure it's true or not) and Japanese style good price steak restaurant. They don't take a reservation, so I and my friend arrived just five minutes before they open. As a name, this place is located on Piikoi St. and easy to find. Inside is still looks like Margotto( even mini sign was still there), cozy and simple. Their menu is very simple, beef steak (two size choice), pork chop(two size choice?, and combo. All plates include fresh salad, original steak sauce and one side of your choice: Japanese Rice or Mashed Potato or Baguette. We ordered beef steak 7oz(200g) with rice and Da Hawaii Life Lite LagerBeer. The staff (I saw only one gal) is very friendly and nice hospitality. (Japanese standard customer service) Beer and salad served shortly. And our steak came! Very sizzling (came with cover) and pour the steak sauce on the hot plate. It was so fun! The rice is Japanese rice and good match with steak! The beef steak was little tough but as this price, no complain. It's not high end steakhouse. But I think some people is going to complain about beef quality. So, if they do Japanese style steak, what about Hamburg steak!? (Grind this steak meat and make) Japanese Hamburg steak is the best! And their steak sauce is also good match with Hamburg steak. There are some steak plate lunch in HI but I don't know Japanese Hamburg steak restaurant in HI. Anyway, price and service are very good. So, I'd like to come back and try to Pork chop next time. read more

So good. If you come here.. please don't expect it to be a dimly lit room, with expensive steaks, gazillion sides and waiters wearing ties. Come here and just enjoy a simple, juicy and flavorful steak with simple sides sizzling on a hot iron. I really don't even know what cut the steak they served us was but it had very little fat and so much flavor. When you cut into your steak the juices just pour out and when you add whipped garlic cream and mix it with the grilled onions underneath the steak .... It's just pure deliciousness. They offer a 2 sizes priced at $25 or $35 and a choice of rice, mashed potatoes or baguette. But please do yourself a favor and order the fried baby potatoes on the side. In fact, get 2 orders of that, please trust me. Service was excellent and our sizzling steaks came out promptly. My family of meat eaters were pleasantly surprised and completely satisfied. We will be back read more

This popped up on my IG feed and it looked great. My family and I decided to try it while we were on vacation. I'm glad we decided to go. When you walk in, the ambiance is a modern steak house feel, but the prices are affordable. The 7 oz steak was $25 and a 10.5 oz steak was $35. It out on a sizzling plate that comes with corn, rice, salad, Japanese steak sauce, garlic chips, and garlic butter. We ordered a side of mashed potatoes, which was smooth and creamy. It tasted great especially the price that you pay. The service was excellent. Our waitress was super friendly to our kids and was fantastic with everything. If you're in Hawaii, check this place out. It's fantastic and worth a Lyft ride over. read more

Piikoi Steak - $35 for a 10.5 oz Steak on a sizzling plate that comes with rice, salad, Japanese steak sauce, garlic chips, and garlic butter. - Steakhouses Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

1/25/26 Very satisfying 1st time experience especially the service Servers were patient n helpful w our questions Had to adjust my mindset because everything was simple including menu offerings unlike $higher end$ places... like other reviewers have said My steak looked smaller than my wife's but thicker Next time I'll request a thicker cut because 1) I wanted medium rare but ordered "Rare" n Waiter agreed since it's served on a sizzling hot plate Onions underneath steak kept it medium rare n from overcooking 2) Thicker Cut is juicier! Worth $25 for a tender n tasty steak w mashed potatoes Also, it was mentioned, they will be changing restaurant's name n adding more menu items When? But looking forward to it! read more

The taste and quality of the steak was only average, but it's good value for money. I wish there could be an in-house sauce going on top of the steak because it was not juicy and even a little dry. Side dishes were also limited with no green vegetables to choose from. Server was attentive but a little pushy. read more

Highly recommended, they opened on time, was greeted by friendly staff, immediately seated and served water (drink of choice) within minutes our order was taken (which we already knew what we wanted to order) we ordered the 7oz (w/mash potatoe) and 10.5 oz (w/rice) steak plate and don't forget to order the garlic whipped cream we didn't order dessert too full, on our next dinner date! Thank You Piikoi Steak for the great service and food! read more

Was curious about this place since the reviews were great, live nearby I thought we'd try so we walked in on a Friday night and was seated right away. Our server was very attentive, this was the best part as she was excellent! We ordered 2 of their Japanese Steak with mashed potatoes and rice and side of ponzu sauce and garlic butter. All in all I was a bit disappointed on how salty the steak had tasted on its own. I didn't really need the sauces on the side. I really wanted to like this place but all I could think of was how salty it was. Anyway, It's probably just that night. read more

Best Japanese style steakhouse in Hawaii. It's a cozy setting with a few tables. They have either beef or pork steak. Their sauce is superb. A Japanese take on a grated onion soy sauce given to you and you pour it onto your steak on a hot cast iron plate. It's delicious. Get extra rice because the portion of rice feels a bit small. Very attentive service. I recommend highly if you're ever in the mood for steak (beef or pork they're both absolutely scrumptious). read more

Casual and stylish steak and pork on a hot plate, Japanese style. Very simple menus and delicious with lots of additional options! We ordered the combo (steak & pork) with mashed potato and added the pansu sauce and garlic whipped butter. Highly recommend the garlic whipped butter to eat with the steak!!! The rice is also high quality and cooked to perfection. Service is fast and friendly. The only thing I had difficulty with was finding it! It's located on the corner of the building shared with Ichiriki, Dowon, and Air Park. Closer to Ali'i Animal Unleashed. Entrance is on the Piikoi St side, but small parking lot is around the corner next to the building on Hopaka St. read more

Small hidden gem. Steaks were cooked perfect, their steak sauce had a nice blend of flavors. Kinda like ponzu. Whipped Garlic sauce was good but I would use their house sauce.

Great new steak place. The steak came out on a sizzling plate and was delicious. Friendly service.

Service was excellent! Food is good! Nice flavors and texture of the meats. Not over seasoned at all. Good seating as well. Only thing I would wish for is just a little bigger portion. But they are just starting out. And overhead these days are high with cost of gas and food prices the way they are in Hawaii. But over all good place!! read more

We had Lunch here and when we walked in at around 1230pm the place was empty and had to ask if they were open for Lunch. The Host, Server told us yes and offered us to choose a table we'd prefer, he was pleasant and asked if we'd like to start with any beverages other than water. We ordered a couple of drinks and he came back promptly. He asked if we were ready to order and so we ordered the 10.5 oz steak and pork chop along with mashed potatoes, baguette and side white rice we also got the whipped garlic cream. The service was quick and friendly. The food was tasty and the portions were generous, there were three of us (my wife and daughter don't eat a lot) so we had one pork chop left over and I had it for Lunch the next day and it was still good. If you like garlic (and who doesn't) you have to try the whipped garlic cream, you can put it on everything, its so good. I have to try making this at home. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was pleasant, nice soft music playing in the background. Our total bill was around $75.00 for three of us, we thought this was reasonable for what we got, and left overs. We would definitely go back again. read more

Food came out sizzling. Menu very basic only 2 main entrees . Waitress very friendly and attentive.

Ordered essentially everything from the restaurant that is available. The steak is told to be cooked medium rare and the pork at medium, I assume because it's a sizzling plate and to make sure it's safe to eat. If the chef says it's the best way to eat it, why would I change how they recommend it? It's a specialty place for a reason. Waiter was awesome, always checked on us and made sure we got everything we needed. Inside is clean. Honestly I thought I was going to a place that looked like a plate lunch place, but was overwhelmed the movement I got in and thought I went to fine dining place with all the glasses on the wall, red painted contrast floor and the shiny wooden table, and chef wearing a chefs uniform. The menu outside says casual steak house but I felt way too causal for this place but I'm certain it's just me. At the end of the day I went to a steak house. If I wanted something more casual I could have gone blazing steaks. Plus I saw the prices outside on the board before I went in. If you're looking for a place outside of just eating a plate lunch, a higher quality meal, and willing to not be cheap about it, this place is great. I'm full, satisfied, and I recommend it. read more
