I tried Wagyu Kushi a while back when I was in Donki, never had the chance to come in and do a review. But I'm doing it now. I ordered the skewers to go, I ordered the 5 skewer option without rice or anything just the skewers to bring home. I didn't eat there. I was pleasantly surprised when I got home, those skewers were excellent. I try to eat low-carb as much as possible, so that's why I went ahead and bought the skewers only. I figured I could have some that day and then save some for later. I prepped some vegetables to eat with them and one of my leftover days I ate it just by itself. The meat was really good, I'm kind of surprised by any negative reviews regarding the meat, but to each his own. I found the meat to be very good. I felt the balance of fat within the skewers to be proper and necessary for flavor. I found the flavor of the meat without the sauce to also be OK as it was lightly seasoned appearing to simply be salt and pepper, there wasn't any overpowering amount of flavors, which would take away from the taste of the meat. I felt they were good right when I brought them home and ate the same day, and just as good when I warmed it up. They are pricey, but that is the price you pay for Wagyu meat. One skewer is pretty filling. So all in all, I paid a decent amount of money for the multiple skewers. If I broke it down to the amount of meals I had with this purchase, the price is not bad. Especially considering the price of eating out period these days. I give this place the maximum stars as I feel it to be well worth the money. And if you are on any sort eating goal or plan, where you are trying to eat more protein than carbohydrates, This is a great option to go along with any vegetables, salad, or anything you prepare for a low carb side. For me personally, I Highly recommend. read more

I love the Wagyukushi spot in the Don Don Donki! It's the perfect lunch after shopping around the store. They really only have two things on their menu - the steak and the wagyukushi. I got a plate of each. Every order is made fresh, so you do have to wait around for about 10 minutes. The meat is extremely flavorful, and even the lettuce in the plates is surprisingly enjoyable to eat. It has a nice crunch and is buttered and seasoned to perfection. The steak is a little tough, so I prefer the thinly sliced wagyukushi. I really liked the garlic chips that were on the steak. There's lots of indoor and outdoor seating, as well as parking. read more

I got to try this place after shopping at Don Don Donki. After I ordered, the food was cooked in a timely manner. This was the first time I had Wagyu on a stick. It was interesting, but still yummy. I also loved that they offered some sort of vegetable in the grilled lettuce. The skewers were easy to eat and easy to share. I think I learned that I would rather eat wagyu in steak form. It's still very yummy, including the Mac salad and furikake rice. I would definitely eat this again and maybe try the steak instead. read more

Wagyukushi located in the Don Don Donki food court in Kapolei has some tasty meat sticks. Juicy, fatty and flavorful all describe my plate lunch this day. The plate comes with mac salad and grilled romaine lettuce. The mac salad was okay, but I enjoyed the seasoning on the romaine. The meal will take between 10 to 15 minutes to prepare and they will give you a pager to notify you when your order is ready. That will give you enough time to enter Don Don Donki to find a drink, there are no drinks available at this location. The food court has plenty of clean well maintained seating to enjoy your meal. read more

Finally came here! Located in Donki Kapolei. I got wagyu kishi plate lunch. $16.99. I thought it is pricey but tried. They cook after order, it took like 15min-20min. It was so delicious with oroshi sauce. I need more sauce because no taste without sauce. Side is Mac salad and romaine lettuce. Lettuce was cooked and it is good. Overall, I love it! Price is worth!! 4 star because Mac salad wasn't my favorite. Recommend it.. read more

Finally had lunch at the Don Don Donki Kapolei food court! I've been hesitant ordering any hot food from the food court from looking at the "mid" Yelp ratings, but hubby was craving Wagyu Kushi after trying it once. This spot has its own bar seating, but if you don't want to smell like meat, you can sit at the general food court area, or take the food to-go. Things to keep in mind, which my hubby downplayed: - Maybe not the best place to go if you're in a rush. We waited 15 minutes for our steak and wagyu kushi plates lunches. Plate lunches are made to order. It's no wonder I always see lines here. I imagine it would be a nightmare coming her during the lunch rush. - Run away from the mac salad! One bite made me lose my appetite for a few minutes. I don't normally say this, but I could not finish the mac salad, and neither could my husband. My husband isn't a picky eater, but dislikes mac salad with too much mayo! I'd prefer if they cooked their mac more al dente and lightened the amount of mayo. I'm also hoping tossed salad would be an alternative to mac salad! I do appreciate the very subtle hints of wasabi on the meats, and I liked the meats and value of the plates more than Teppanyaki Farmer in Ala Moana. As I get older and eat less red meat, I find it harder to finish steak plates, especially when there's not a lot of vegetables. I thought the romaine lettuce under the meats was a nice touch. This was still a worthwhile visit as it curbed my hubby's craving (I choose the food spots 90% of the time!), and I can say I finally tried hot food at the Don Don Donki food court. Adding a fourth star for a happy hubby, some leftovers minus the mac salad, and because I apparently gave Teppanyaki Farmer four stars years ago. read more

Wagyu beef isn't just for the fancy expensive restaurants. At this little stall in the DonDon Donki, Wagyu Kisha is quick and delicious for a reasonable price. The skewers I had were tasty and worth the price. The miso soup is passable and the Mac salad is ok. But we're here for the beef and it's was yummy! The staff is friendly and helpful when you want to ask questions. If you want to, you can sit right at the bar and watch them prep your food if you are so inclined. read more

Went to Donki to get ingredients to make lunch and really wanted to try the wagyu skewers every since they opened so I ordered two at the counter. They give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. First bite of the wagyu skewer was mid. The sauce saves it a little bit but in general for the price and quality you think you're going to get is not there. Filled with fat and I usually like a good mix of fat and meat in my food but I had to spit the fat out. I thought the meat would've tasted tender considering it was "wagyu" but it just tasted like thin brisket stacked on a stick. It was an experience to try it but will be my last. read more

Wagyu Kushi - Filled with fat wagyu skewer - Steakhouses Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I tried Wagyu Kushi when we went to a Don Don Donki in Singapore and remember liking it. So when I saw it at this location, I wanted to try it here. We only got the skewers (2 for $12.99). We waited maybe about 10 minutes. The person cooking was just churning them out because it seemed like there were a lot of lunch orders since it was prime lunchtime. I liked the little sauce it came with - it had a lot of umami. It's best eaten immediately while still hot since it's pretty fatty, and cold fatty/oily foods are pretty gross. Would definitely get some more skewers next time I come back! read more

Located in Don Don Donki food court Kapolei. A deal! $15.89 for a steak plate! The cut was tender, moist, and seasoned well (peppery and garlicky) . A side of sweet sauce was included but I ate it without it. The meal included steam white rice w Furikake and grilled and seasoned romaine lettuce heart. So delicious. The food court has ample seating for the food court vendors as well as store purchased items. Will be back again!!! read more

[Location] This WagyuKushi is located inside Don Donki's food court in Kapolei. Restrooms available. Plenty of seating indoors. [Food] The wagyu mushiness delicious! Tender, well cooked and perfectly seasoned. It comes with a sweet garlic dipping shoyu/teriyaki. Two skewers is about $13. Not super cheap but fair enough. Plate lunch may be more worth it! [Customer Service] The staff were nice! I think they need a better pick-up system. It seems to be difficult for staff to call the attention of customers by name. Maybe a pager or number system? read more

I have to give this review a 4.7/5...the minus 0.3 is due to the Mac salad :( I really like their wagyu sticks as they are tender, great sauce, and comes with rice. It really fills me up, but the Mac salad isn't the greatest. They're located in the food court area of Donki which is great because there's so many table and chairs. During the work week, it doesn't take too long for you to get your food. I am a fan of the sticks and it's enough to bring me back again in the future. read more

Located in the Don Don Donki Kapolei food court, Wagyu Kushi was one of only three open eating places when we stopped by (June 2025). It specializes in wagyu beef and only has really 2 items on its menu - wagyu beef steak and wagyu beef skewers. The skewers can be bought ala carte but the $15.99 lunch special plate is the better option, adding mac salad, rice with furikake, and a roasted romaine heart. The steak was unfortunately cooked well done by default but was still tender. It's not A5 for this price but definitely isn't cheap steak. The skewers use a different cut of tinner meat stacked up but was also tasty. There is a lengthy wait as the cook prepares each steak to order but, for this price, you can't really beat it. read more

Located in Don Don Donki in Kapolei. Came here late one night with my boyfriend. We both ordered the steak plate (medium rare). The portion of the plate was fair, however, the temperature of the steak was not medium rare. It was well done. The food overall was great because we were surprised about how the veggies were also seasoned. The service was quick and easy since there was no line. There are lots of tables to eat at. This is a good option for a quick protein fix, however just be aware that the temp of your steak may not be what you're looking for. read more

When heading out checkout with your great finds & groceries you'll pass all the food places offered. This place turns heads and has people stopping to figure out what that yummy smell is. I witnessed about 10 people stop, look at the menu & end up ordering while waiting for my food. The line to order was short, the longest part was waiting for your order. It took close to 15 minutes for my order to come out. The skewers were really good, flavorful & cooked tender. I don't care for the dipping sauce offered. If you're into a wasabi ginger dipping sauce then definitely try. Two skewers were $13 after tax & honestly for $2 more I'd get the place next time since it comes with rice and other sides. Would definitely come back! read more

Wagyu Kushi - Two skewers - Steakhouses Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Heard the hype and had to find out what it was about. Wagyu Kushi located in the Kapolei Don Donki Market. One of just a couple of vendors that were still open after 7 pm. We tried the Skewer plate. 2 skewers over Romaine Lettuce, good quality rice with Furikake, and Mac salad. Meat was cut into small layers and served with a garlic dipping sauce. Loved the idea to put the skewers on Romaine lettuce it cooked the lettuce slightly and flavored it with the juices from the skewers. Service was good. Friendly and knowledgeable. Food is cooked fresh as you order it. read more

Visited Wagyu Kushi located at the food court section near the exit area of the recently opened Don Don Donki, on Wed. 2/26/25, at 1:30p. Wagyu Kushi opened 2 weeks ago, the same day as Don Don Donki. The aroma of sizzling Wagyu beef called out to my senses, as I was done with my shopping. Luckily there were only 2 guests in front of me in the line. The cashier said they normally sellout of their Wagyu Kushi Plate Lunch. I ordered 2 of the Wagyu Kushi Plate Lunches to take home. They also had the Wagyu Steak Plate lunch on the menu. They weren't selling the individual skewers at this time, though. Eventually they will. I asked if they take phone orders and at this time they do not. The Wagyu Kushi Plate Lunch was composed of 2 skewers of grilled Wagyu Beef, Japanese potato salad, a scoop of rice and a large leaf of grilled Romaine lettuce, and a sauce for the meat. We enjoyed the succulent and marbled slices of seasoned beef that were sliced on the skewers. I enjoyed eating the beef without the sauce. The flavoring was perfect and didn't need the sauce. The Japanese potato salad was nice and cold with a subtle flavor that had a nice crunch with a sliver of cucumber in it as well. The grilled Romaine lettuce added texture to the dish. The rice with a sprinkle of Furikake and sesame seeds rounded out the plate. The meal was enjoyable. Although the wait was 20 minutes, it is well worth it. Some people left to do shopping while some people like me watched the chefs preparing our Wagyu Beef on the grill. We will definitely be back to Wagyu Kushi to try their Steak plate next. read more

We had a great first-time experience here--both the service and the food were exceptional. The skewered wagyu was perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor--absolutely delicious! Fast forward to today, and we've picked up the skewer plates for lunch and dinner multiple times. Although it's California wagyu, it's still a fantastic $15 plate lunch deal that's worth every penny. Once a month, on the 29th, they offer Japanese wagyu for $49/plate--we've yet to try it, but it's definitely on our list. When we dine in, we usually sit at the counter, and the cashier and chefs are always so sweet and friendly. You can tell they take pride in their food and service, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend for both a quick bite or a casual dine-in treat! read more

Came a little before lunch time and wanted to try this place out. Ordered the 5 pieces skewer. The wait time wasn't to bad. Waited like 5 minutes since it was slow. After getting my food it started to get very busy! There was a line afterwards! Good thing to come early!! Sat at the counter watching them grill the wagyu. I gotta say it didn't really taste much as wagyu just regular American steak sadly. The skewers were Okei. Very oily and a lot of fat on it too. The menu is very small as well so not much to choose from. But good thing is you can buy drinks or other foods from inside donki and eat it here or the tables in front of the restaurants. But would love to try again and try something less fatty and oily next time! Dont come during lunch time! It gets nuts out here! read more

Pretty good for steak on a stick. The steak itself had good flavor and the sauce given added a kick to it. Ordered the plate and it came with a bed of rice with furikake, grilled cabbage, mac salad, sauce, and 2 steak sticks. Service was fast and efficient; however waiting for the order took about 15-20 mins. Understandable seeing how busy they are and how long it takes to cook steak. There is ample seating. You can sit and watch them cook your order or eat in the food court. read more

$17 for the wagyu plate which came with 2 skewers. There was no char flavor on anything. The lettuce was so soggy and drenched in oil. It made the rice and tiny half scoop of Mac salad all soggy. The actual skewers itself were so tough to chew through. Even though the meat was thinly sliced, it was really hard to chew through. It wasn't tender at all. I wish we looked at the yelp reviews before purchasing. read more

The first time I came here we got the A5 wagyu plate which was $40 discounted opening price. The normal price is $50. Very expensive but it was sooo good. The second time we tried the skewers and it was also good and much, much cheaper. I paid $13 for 2. You can also get it in a plate if you want but we just wanted a snack. The wait can get kind of long, at least 20 mins since there's only 1 cook but I think it's worth it if you're not in a rush. There's lot of seating since it's in the food court of Donki but they also have a counter you can sit at as well. read more

The wagyu skewers are super tasty! They are nicely seasoned and super tender. It comes with a delicious sauce as well. I've only ordered the skewers and not the plates because, hello, get rice at home. I usually order the 5 sticks for $30. Pretty pricey, but the wagyu is that good. One gripe is the wait can be 15-20 minutes or longer if there's a lot of people in line. Sometimes just looking at the line and people waiting around for their order makes me head straight to the exit after shopping at Donki. If you're not in a rush, get the skewers! read more

We got the Wagyu skewer. Not too many people waiting but it took a while for us to get our skewer. Meat was moist and the garlic dipping sauce was a nice touch.

No idea how this place doesn't get more love because it's a good hit for the price whether or not you're in the area or even craving steak. For those that have shopped at don don donki u know that the smell of this place gracefully wafts into ur soul and tempts u to keep going back. The steak is actually well done and while to me it doesn't matter whether it's American wagyu or Japanese you'll like it nonetheless it's that good. Portions are out the ass and it's made to order so while you wait a tad it's worth it and if you like watching you can as it's just glass to the grill so u can cruise and watch the magic. I'm glad this is so cheap (this economy is dumb that this is a deal) but with this level of portions and speed I can't complain and will make a trip from all areas of the island to this place. This and grabbing some don quijote exclusives make everything worth it and has become more than just a treat for mine and will be for you too! read more

10 mins standing in line just to order. Everything is made to order but every plate is the same. Steak or (2) Wagyu skewers with rice, macaroni salad, and grilled romaine lettuce for $15.99 I ordered 3 plates - all marked with my name and labeled 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 - I watched the cashier write them all. They use different colored boxes to differentiate a steak plate from a wagyu skewer plate. About 10 more minutes pass and I see both my Wagyu plates come up to the cashier and my order was the next to be called but then the chef in the black coat and chef cap hands the steak plate to an EMPLOYEE who ordered about 5 people after me. Said employee looks right at me as he walks away with the plate. So I walk up to the counter and ask the cashier what happened to my third plate - the other two are right there. I tell her that I saw the chef give it to the Employee. She says, "oh I don't know" but then proceeds to quietly tell the chef he needs to fire another steak and get it to the front of the line. I still wait while THE CHEF TALKS ON THE PHONE. Meanwhile name after name after name are called out. I think it's safe to say EVAN was the employee who got my plate so he didn't have to wait because no one ever claimed that plate. They should have given that one to me too. 30 MINS AFTER I ORDERED, the cashier quietly thanks me for waiting. And then ... the steak is GRAY. Absolutely Awful. Don't waste your time or money, gang. Fekkin' shady sh!t. read more
