Loved this place when they were at there old location and am glad I can get it conveniently at the Lanai at Ala Moana Center. Prices are up but considering everything that's ok. I love how the grill is right up in front so you can watch your order being made from start to finish. The garlic steak roll is my go to and it did not disappoint. They even give a small salad with your plate instead of just two scoops rice like I remember. Will come again and visit this old favorite. read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Steak roll with garlic chips. Winnah! - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been here many times and my rating WAS a five star when they first opened. When they first opened I was so happy..it was like Tae's Teppanyaki was back! However since then, I feel like they have increased their prices, shrank the amount of food they give you and nickel and dime you for everything including now extra ponzu sauce! With high prices like that, they should just give you an extra sauce if you request it or give more sauce period! In addition to all those changes they stopped selling the garlic fried rice as an option. That was a mistake! The last few times I've been there there was no long line to wait in like before the changes. I don't think I'll be going there much these days either! Very disappointing, the lady refusing to give me an extra ponzu sauce unless I stand in line again and pay at the cashier was what sealed the deal for me! Unbelievable! Very disappointing, like I said my initial review was five stars! read more

I got the rolled ribeye plate , with garlic chips of course and brown rice , also a canned drink ($2.50). Total came out $16. It's the mall so it's average I would say . But i left feeling hungry still . It comes with 3 thin slices of ribeye rolled with potatoes . Flavor was 3.5/5. Not amazing , not terrible . But it didn't leave me with desire to eat it again for this price . Id say def try it to judge for yourself as some loves it! But my wallet doesn't . Even with the garlic chips I might dare say it was bland for my taste . read more

Got the shrimp garlic scampi burrito and it was meh. No flavors really popping out... the cheese could be tasted by itself (sort of in like colder chunks) and wasn't really blended in well with the burrito. Disappointing... was more of a food just to fill up the stomach... rather than a food you enjoy it's flavors and want to eat. Based on the burrito taste, would not recommend or come here again. read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Scampi garlic shrimp burrito - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Overall: 8/10 Food: 8.5/10 Tae's is back! Location: 10/10 ala moana in the Lanai Service: 9/10 friendly! But may need to wait Price: 8/10 Known for beef roll (with thin raw potatos), this place is a not miss for locals and tourists. Formerly known as Tae's, reincarnated and back! Beef rolls run $14 ish after tax. Ponzu dipping sauce, with garlic chips and garlic fried rice! Side salad eith cresmy dressing. Wait is kinda long if there is a line, but not bad otherwise. If it's busy, may not be cooked that well either as a friend noted during another time. No brown rice if you were wondering. Verdict: defintiely coming back. Go for lunch, avoid crowds read more

Went last night hoping to get the steak roll, garlic rice, garlic chips and salad but they were closed. Yelp has them open till 9pm. So I called today to get their hours, they close at 7pm. guess I'll have to wait another time to get my fix read more

Shared a steak roll plate with my friends for lunch. And I loved it so much I grabbed one for dinner. Just try it. read more

Love this place!! Such a good choice for lunch (or dinner) when you aren't quite sure what you want to eat. Always hits the spot. read more

If you liked TAE'S Teppenyaki, then this is for you. Its pretty much them with a new name, trendier location, and higher prices for less food. I was excited to eat at one of my favorite lunch grindz again and then noticed the whopping $12.95 per plate tag. Whoa! Ok ok its alamoana....tourist trap and I got to watch them grill my food (pretty cool imo). Upon opening my plate I noticed the steak roll wasn't seated on a bed of lettuce (as before) but on rice....but in a way you now get choke rice. Still came with a small salad and the garlic chips are still epic. It might be my plate, but the roll seamed skinnier. Oh well...overall I was still impressed with the flavor but $13 .....yikes I can't eat here as much as before. read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Famous Steak roll with wasabi sauch (left) and the kalbi bowl (right). Kalbi bowl was pretty good in size fyi....worth the $10 - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Saw a picture of the steak roll and it looked delicious so we decided to eat here for dinner. The line was pretty long so we thought wow this place must me good. We ordered the steak roll which I didn't like too much. It was kinda weird that there was potato in the middle. We also ordered the kalbi bowl with the egg on top. I liked this one much better. I was a little disappointed because I was looking forward to the garlic rice but they no longer serve that...they only have white or brown rice. Overall it was okay but I don't like I will be coming back. read more

This place has really good reviews so I'm wondering if it is just me and the quality of meat that I am used to but honestly, I was a little disgusted with what I ordered. I got the steak plate and couldn't eat more than two bites and had to spit it out. I know I shouldn't be expecting much for a $12-14 steak plate but I really couldn't get myself to eat more than two bites. It came with rice and salad. Because of the raving reviews below I might go back but I definitely will never get the steak again read more

I agree with other reviews here. They do not understand how to cook a steak. Maybe medium rare is different in Oahu. The person cooking my steak plate cut the steak first, then cooked it and was able to see the inside as he cooked it. I asked for medium rare and it was just uncooked. It came out looking like how a seared ahi steak would look. However, service was fine, but not a great place to eat. read more

Being a newer place on the Lani, noticed the amount of people ordering and waiting for their orders and thought I need to try this place. I ordered the Steak Roll with Garlic Chips. A bit messy to eat, but it was worth the effort. Tasty! Hours later and I can still taste the garlic. Did I mention I love garlic! read more

We ordered the steak roll with garlic chips upgrade for garlic fried rice and Kalbi bowl upgraded garlic fried rice/fried egg total was about $25 its pretty good. I wish they flavored the potato strings inside the steak roll but I still liked it. The steak roll comes on bed of shredded cabbage so you end up eating more veggies than meat which was kind of a pleasant surprise. I think next time I come back I'll try their spicy sauce and maybe something else. The kalbi bowl was okay my bf liked it. Here's the thing their food is good and I will be back but it's not the kind of place you become addicted to or randomly crave at all times of the day. BTW it's in the old shirokiya which is a new 2nd food court. read more

This is the second time in a row I ordered and it came out wrong. First time was 3 days ago I asked for just no wasabi sauce and when I picked up my order we asked which one didn't have the sauce and the guy said "sorry I didn't read the order right." So it took another 20 min for the order to come out. Meh, everybody makes mistakes no biggie, but today we ordered take out, and asked for no wasabi sauce again. This time the cook took everything out and just left steak and lettuce. It's pretty much a steak salad wrap? It wouldn't be too bad but, the salad is arugula, and it's not the best flavor, and I'm not gonna eat it. And it's been a long day, I'm not driving back down. Teppanyaki Farm phone number is actually ala Moana's number so they don't have a phone number. It's kind of annoying the cooks can't read. If you order takeout maybe just check it every time. I'm not gonna order here already. read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

GAHHH! I love! I ordered the teppanyaki steak roll with garlic chips and garlic rice. For next time, I'd just order without garlic chips but extra ponzu on the side. The place is in the old Shirokiya in Ala Moana. Quaint area and isn't too hustle bustle so I could have a conversation and hear the other person. read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Teppanyaki Steak Roll w/ garlic chips and garlic rice - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Very underwhelming. Although could be because what I had in mind was completely different than what was presented to me. It's also on the pricey side too read more

Kalbi here is not a real Kalbi, it is actually a Teri Beef. What a let down. The portions are very small and they only give one scoop of rice in their plate. At the same price you can go to HI Steaks in Foodland Farms and get double the portion and the food is lot better there. I wouldn't recommend eating here. read more

Unique place. Really enjoyed their pork kimchi rolls. Their kimchi was the differentiator! Great customer service as well after a bad experience at Da Spot. read more

Get the kimchi pork roll. Super good and flavorful. Not spicy but they give sauce on the side if you like it spicy.

I saw this place it's located by the old Shirokiya I swear it's awesome and price is awesome affordable You can tell the food is clean tasty and they have great customer service read more

Finally got to try this place after see all the rave reviews but I was sadly disappointed. The cashier's customer service was great. She was friendly and quick. The customer service received when called up to pick up order was business like but curt. When asked for a bag as it for a take out, she gave it to me without a word but I still had to ask for a lid for the container that my food was in. She didn't say anything either but had moved onto another customer. There was no apology or thank you and come again. The food was good. I had ordered the boneless kalbi bowl with garlic rice. The kalbi meat was cooked well and the rice was tasty but I there wasn't that garlicky taste I was looking for. The dish was also rather oily and expensive for the $11 I paid. It's still worth a second try but perhaps not a third. We'll wait a d see. read more

I have only ever eaten the steak roll so I can't speak to anything else on the menu...but do I really need to? The steak roll with garlic chips is the best thing in the Ala Moana Lanai foodcourt hands down. I get off the plane from Hilo and immediately drive straight to the mall to get my fix. The portions are a little small for the price, which is the only drawback. I think you could actually eat two plates before being totally full. But if you're in the mood for a fast, tasty lunch break during shopping, this is the place! read more

Try the steak roll, add spicy sauce and garlic chips. Ono! It can get busy during peak times, but line moves fairly fast. read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

you can make a phone order for the new york steak which runs out really fast. my go to for steak especially for the garlic chips.

I'm very glad that Tae's Teppanyaki came back in Ala Moana Center Lanai food court as Teppanyaki Farmer! Used to buy Wasabi Roll from food truck at Donquijote Kaheka! Compare to those days, taste a little downgraded, but still good. If you are small eater, their potion is good / it comes with only one scoop of rice and salad. Meat got smaller also. Very light, so good for eating as snack or light lunch. But if you aren't small eater, one plate won't be enough. read more

I got the shrimps scampi on garlic rice. 8 fat, juicy and yes, garlicky shrimps. Generous portion both rice and shrimps for $12. We were there around 11:30 am. After we got our food. The line got real long. A good sign. People love what they were smelling. This is something I will definitely get again ! read more

So this was introduced to me by a coworker and I absolutely love it! Can't wait to try everything on their menu. I'm hooked on the boneless kalbi wth eggs and garlic fried rice. And to top that is the garlic chips!!! read more

Good food. I am glad that I tried it. I'm going to try their steak wrap next time. The only thing it is a little pricey.

Try kimchi pork roll with all of topping options. Imho, this is THE BEST food I had from my 6 days of stay in Oahu. It easily beats Giovanni's Shrimp Truck, Leonard's Bakery, and other hyped places. read more

Steak roll is so good!!! I crave it!! Smaller than it used to be when they were at the other location but the same great steak roll. Also more $$$ but I can only imagine how much it costs to be at Ala. It's a sure thing for me!! Yummmm!! read more

I had their original steak roll for lunch today. It was the only thing I ate all day and I just got extremely sick from it. Diarrhea and vomiting. I searched for a phone number or a way to contact them to inform them. There was no contact information to be found on google or the Ala Moana website. read more

I got the ribeye cheesesteak with sriracha mayo. It was delicious!! I would get another next time. Meat was sliced thin and melted with cheese and put in a French bread roll. Next time I'll try the fries with it! We went on Saturday for lunch and the wait was thirty minutes but it was packed in the mall. There's always a line for this place read more

Really like the steak roll! Was bored with the overpriced food court offerings. So went to food court by Macy's and was going to have the usual poke or sashimi but was watching the teppanyaki farmer cook and decided to give it a try. Good decision! The mix of veggies, rice and meat was perfect! Actually wanted Kalihi bowl but there was going to be a wait so had the roll. Lucky me! read more

Funny story. I had bookmarked this place the same day my daughter sent me a video of Teppanyaki Farmer. If that isn't the universe nudging me to eat here, then it's sure a big coincidence. A few days later, my daughter and I were stalling for time at Ala Moana. We walked into the Lanai because there were tables to just sit. While we checked out the different eateries, we spied upon this food counter that wasn't branded. We watched as the cook carefully laid the thinly sliced beef on the grill. We saw the meticulous care he took as flipped the veggies and beef together. Did I mention the smell of the food? Heavenly. If we weren't so full from lunch, we would've bought immediately. Oh, but wait! We could buy for the hubby and have him try it! We ordered the beef with garlic chips and garlic rice. Again, we watched the food prepared and wished that our stomachs could be bigger to eat some of that deliciousness. But alas, no. But we did get to surprise the hardworking patriarch of our family with his plate. From the look on his face, it was FANTASTIC. While he was resting his fork, I was able to sneak in some small bites. The garlic rice was tasty. Just enough garlic taste to give it flavor, but not overpowering. The garlic chips were a scrumptious addition to the steak roll. The steak roll itself was a show stopper! The thin strips were bursting with seasoning and added to the veggies. The veggies were crisp & just a good side for he plate. So, next time, I get my own plate. No sharing from hubby's plate. read more

My friend and I tried this place, first timers. Ordered the New York steak plate and garlic shrimp bowl; excellent. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone that is a shrimp and steak lover read more

The food is soo good here! My favorite is the boneless kalbi bowl and my husbands is the boneless kalbi sandwich. It's so simply yet so flavorful. Service is great as well read more

I always get the Steak Roll plate. $13 is about a decent price for what you get. I always wanted to try their other items but I love their steak rolls. Basically shredded potatoes with thin slices of steak on top along with salad and two scoops of rice and a small container of ponzu on the side. They do have brown rice as well. It also comes with garlic chips which is a must when you get this. Your food prep does take awhile especially when it is busy, longest I waited must've been like 10-15 min but they are fast. You can also watch them cook your food Teppanyaki style which is cool to watch. Will always be back for a steak roll now and then, hopefully prices stay the same. read more

I got the garlic shrimp bowl. Shrimp was dry and rubbery. More rice than anything else. Didn't taste a wine butter sauce.
