Our family visits The Lanai food court at Ala Moana Shopping Center quite often. One of our favorites is Teppanyaki Farmer and their Original Steakroll with fried garlic chips. Like everywhere else, food prices are skyrocketing and at $18 per plate, we choose to eat here because we love the food. Hubby and I are trying to lose a few of the after holiday pounds so we ordered our rolls with all tossed salad and my daughter and boyfriend ordered it with rice and toss. The plates did not disappoint. The thinly sliced beef is rolled around thinly shredded potato and served with ponzu sauce. It's so yummy. Because it's located at a shopping mall, there's always lots of free parking and chances to find a seat in the air conditioned food court is great. Don't expect a quiet cozy environment. Normally the service is good for a food court counter. The thing that was disappointing this evening was the service. The cashier did not thank us ... he just handed me my receipt. We also waited really long time for our order. At least six patrons who ordered after us received their orders before us. When we finally received our order, we hoped for at least a "thank you" or "sorry for keeping waiting". Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Please don't get me wrong. We have followed the owner from when they started as a food truck. We will continue to visit because we enjoy the food. Maybe I'm just being a little picky or just tired this evening but, after spending more than $75 for 4 plate lunches, the service is sets businesses apart. Sharing a little aloha would have made a world of difference for us. I would have rated it a 3 based on the service that we received tonight. But that would not be fair. Their food consistency earns the 4th star for me. read more

I saw people eating massive burritos and sandwiches in the Ala Moana food court on the 2nd floor, and they looked like they were really enjoying it so I had to go back and try one for myself. Everything is freshly prepared on the grill in front of you, which is nice, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how good the burrito was. It's a little cheesy, a little spicy, and very flavorful. The wait wasn't too long on a Monday, and definitely more seats and less crowded than on Saturday. The steak plate was also good, the steak comes over some kind of hash brown like potatoes, so a very hearty lunch indeed! It's not the cheapest lunch option, but I felt like it was definitely worth it for the price. I'll be back! read more

Been to this food court many times before and always passed by Teppanyaki farmer and never ordered anything. Always gone to the other establishment when I'm there . Finally I tried Teppanyaki I ordered their boneless Kalbi with special sauce and garlic chips. I was a little disappointed because their Kalbi is basically shredded beef with sauce. I was more thinking of the 3 bone Kalbi short ribs all sliced up . The taste was just ok but next time I probably try something else and try to support local . read more

The food here is really good. My favorite is the burritos. The only downer is it takes a while, but it's only because they cook to order. Service is OK, not the greatest not the worst. They are located in the newer food court at Ala Moana Shopping Center, right in the corner near Brug. read more

Super delicious ribeye & onion bowl, from the meat to the sauce to the rice to the onions~!! A little pricier but worth the splurge, especially if you have someone to share with... Total quality & taste though... a lot like eating in Japan!! read more

We love the food. Especially the steak wrap and the rib eye. They are quick, efficient and courteous as well.

My boyfriend really likes this place and recommended it to me when I told him I was eating at the Lanai one day (had gotten something else that day). We decided to go together for me to taste its deliciousness. It's located in the corner of the Lanai in Ala Moana, next to Ahi & Vegetable. There's ample parking that won't ever be a problem but parking nearby the food court may be difficult as it's centrally located near other stores. My boyfriend and I shared their famous Steak Roll plate which consisted of a thin steak wrapped around potatoes over rice. They had a ponzu sauce on the side to pour over the food and rice. Wish they had a little more which I could have asked for but was too lazy to LOL. I thought the plate was okay. There was a ton of potatoes compared to meat that I felt like we paid mainly for the potatoes instead. The garlic chips were really good with the roll and gave a lot of flavor. Super unique plate, but I didn't really find it as amazing as my boyfriend described it as. Glad I got to experience something different! Super filling especially for the price paid. read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Kimchi Pork Roll (top) and Steak Roll (bottom) - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I came to the Ala Moana food court in search of this steak roll, only to realize it's located on the other side in the Lanai food court. Don't make the same mistake I did! They have a lot of tasty sounding items on the menu, especially their burritos, but they are known for "da original" steak roll so how could I pass that up? We ordered ours with garlic chips on top. "Steak roll" is both a terribly vague yet straightforward name all at the same time. I couldn't figure out what it actually was, even with the description and after looking at Yelp photos...yet the name says it all. It's literally thin sliced pieces of steak rolled around thinly sliced potatoes (think hash brown strips minus the crunchy exterior). It's quite hard to eat with chopsticks and as expected, the roll part unravels as you pick it up, so you're eating a bite of steak with a couple potatoes and then the rest of the potatoes in your next bite. The garlic chips didn't really add anything to the flavor at all and seemed processed and not freshly fried - they were an afterthought. Was it good? I guess so, I did like the thinly sliced steak. Was it unique? Yes, I've never had anything like this before. Am I eating steak and potatoes, steak salad, or steak and rice? All of the above. It's tasty with the ponzu dipping sauce but I wish we added the wasabi and spicy sauces on top! I bet it would've taken it to the next level. I'm not sure it's enough to bring me back again on my next trip but I think it's one of the better choices in both food courts here over mediocre food or chain kiosks. read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Bulgogi burrito so delicious - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Boneless Kalbi Bowl with brown rice and garlic chips!! Have I tried anything else there!? Nope! I tried and can't it's just the perfect handheld meal. Thinly sliced beef cooked in a slightly sweet special sauce with onions is topped on choice of white or brown rice with crispy garlic. The convenience location in Lanai Foodcourt is my favorite, so clean with ample seating both in and outdoors and restrooms just steps away. Parking that's right outside with several "takeout" 20 minutes parking stalls makes it super easy to dash in and out. One day I will try something different but it's not broken so that's not a promise ;-) Thank you!! read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Their menu said rib eyes steak bowl is included rice, ross salad and ponzu sauce. But I didn't get toss salad. I told the lady who wears glasses that there was no toss salad in my bowl. She explained bowls only included rice. I told her that the menu said it included toss salad too. She said the menu was "off". Okay, then she should have honored toss salad as it's their mistake. But she kept saying it's not included although the menu said it's Included. I asked her to refund it. She gave me $23 back. I am ok with the refund. But for their business, they lost $23 because they cannot use the stake as I touched it and ate some. The cost of toss salad must be only 20 cents. lol. Smart people!!! Plus they give you only one utensil. They don't give you both. So cheap. read more

My new to go place at Ala Moana food court next to Macys. I really enjoyed my steak rolled plate with potato and garlic chips. You can choose garlic chips, wasabi or spicy sauce (or all 3) with your steak roll. The winner here is the ponzu sauce that they have in a container in the plate, without the sauce there is no flavor to the entire plate. I really enjoyed the ponzu sauce so this was a winner for me! They cook the food on the spot so while you have to wait a bit, you know you'll get freshly made food. read more

Worst boneless kalbi ever. They should jusy call it bulgogi. Asked the lady if this was short rib and she said yes. almost certain it's beef knuckles. read more

I saw on the menu that a Pepsi was $1.75 so I went ahead and ordered Pepsi two minutes later payment system popped up for me to tap my phone. I tap my phone and then I got charged $25.65 for a full ribeye steak. I asked the lady for a refund. They didn't believe that it went through. I ended up having to show them both my Apple Pay statement and my bank statement showing that I was staying there for 30 minutes. They didn't give me the refund after 30 minutes. The cashier went ahead and blamed it on me saying I didn't even give her the chance to ring in the Pepsi. Ended up Going home with a $26 steak that I didn't even want. The staff also laughed at me for the 30 minutes that I was waiting for my refund. Worst customer service I've ever had. read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Steak roll plate. - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Rating: 9/10 This is one of my favorites lunch plate places in Hawaii. Teppanyaki Farmer was made famous by its unique steak roll, which is shredded potato curls wrapped in thinly sliced beef and cooked on a teppanyaki (Japanese for flat grill). The plate comes a choice of topping (such as fried garlic chips), two scoops of rice, and a green salad. The stall also has other menu items, like the steak burrito/wraps, sandwiches, and garlic shrimp. My go to is a steak roll with an over easy egg on top. The egg and runny yolk really adds to the dish. Price is on the average now days at $16 + $2 for the egg. It's in the lani food court in Ala Moana Mall with plenty of space to sit and eat. read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Steak Roll with egg and garlic chips - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Located at Lanai food court, so we decided to do a takeout. It wasn't too crowded around 5:45pm so wait time wasn't bad. Plus we also pick up food from other restaurants there so it was very convenient. I got the steak roll w/only salad, so it was pretty good but I wish they added more salad. My hubby got the steak sandwich which he said it was ok but he rather have the sandwich from Charles philly steak. My son had the boneless kalbi w/egg bowl, which was good but the portion was small. Good thing we picked up sushi from other place so we were all satisfied at the end. Overall, worth trying them out at least once. read more

I LOVE Teppanyaki Farmer!!! It's one of my fave places to grab lunch when I'm in Ala Moana area. The first time someone tried to explain what the beef roll was I was like huh??! That sounds so strange. But it must be experienced for you to fall in love with it!! Let me explain!!! You can order a beef or pork roll, which is thinly sliced meat and they wrap it around shredded potato (think hash browns before you fry them). This beautiful food lays on top of a bed of fresh lettuce. What makes this so delicious is, you then generously pour on ponzu sauce all over it!!! The potato is nicely cooked and there's is the meat perfectly cooked on top, with the crisp freshness of the lettuce beneath. Oh!! How could I forget?! You must get crispy garlic chips on this as well!!! Sooooo yummy!!! I've heard that the sandwich here is really good so I def need to try that sometime. Only if I can break my pork roll habit lol! read more

What happened to the quality???? Yikes!!! the meat for the da steak roll sucks and you can tell the meat was the lowest quality meat on the market. I used love this place, so sad. read more

This is my first time visiting this establishment. They grill a nice pounded thin pork with Kim Chee and thin sliced potatoes are rolled on inside of pork, sliced and then, topped with roasted garlic. And it's laid over a bed of lettuce, served with two scoops of brown rice, and shoyu vinegar sauce. I wish I had a fork and knife instead of chop sticks to cut the pork into smaller pieces to dip in sauce. Kim Chee is mild to medium and flavorful. However, the lettuce or salad didn't come with any dressing...mostly Kim Chee flavor. One thing, I don't get the thin slice potatoes...unseasoned... doesn't contribute to dish. The roasted garlic over meat was the best, not overpowering the pork, but real tasty! Staff wears masks Kitchen crew wears gloves, Friendly Dining area, food court...social distancing, tracing, temperatures Despite tier 3, not letting up on tier 2 becoming a standard for some restaurants. Nice....Ciao. read more

Ventured out to the small food court by Macy's Ala Moana and decided to try this place based on the reviews. I was not disappointed- thank you fellow Yelpers! Ordered the steak roll with garlic chips and tried a little wasabi sauce. I was impressed with the care they took in cooking and preparing the dish and didn't have to wait too long. The meat was tender but could have used a little more salt or seasoning. Best part was the garlic chips. The wasabi sauce was underwhelming so will try the savory sauce next time. Had mine with brown rice. Will be back again and order extra garlic chips. read more

They changed the menu and ditched the signature burrito. I had the kalbi rice bowl and it was a joke compared to the burrito. Not a lick of lettuce or veggie. Just a pile of meat on rice. This was my go to spot at the lanai but I will never go back again. How hard is it to but the ingredients in a tortilla and add a little lettuce. Done and done read more

This is a solid delicious option in the Lanai food court at Ala Moana. If you're in the mood for red meat or a hearty sandwich, Teppanyaki Farmer is your best bet. We had the boneless kalbi + egg plate. It's on the pricier side of food court food but at least it was made to order and super tasty. The kalbi was fatty and tender, the rice was well cooked, the egg was perfectly runny, the greens were fresh. There's also some crispy garlic chips on top. Yum! read more

Good food - good service! But, don't go too close to closing. Once the grill is clean, they only serve what they have available. read more

One of the best places to get lunch/dinner at Ala Moana Center. Garlic chips and their house sauce is always a must!

$17 for a Cheesesteak/ or a chicken burrito is a little pricey for me but it was very good. Aggressively seasoned which turned a little salty for me but the salad helps. I loved getting to watch it being made on the grill by a very skilled chef. Ok a busy day like today, the wait time was 15 mins for 2 plates. Overall great customer service and great quality of fresh ingredients. read more

Our GO TO spot when we shop at Ala Moana. Sometimes we will even make the special trip before heading to the beach. We usually get their RIBEYE BURRITO. It comes with a GENEROUS amount of thinly cut ribeye, fresh lettuce, rice (you can choose white or brown), diced tomatoes, raw onions, and special sauce! Service is always top notch, which is hard to find these days. PRO TIP- CALL AHEAD of time to beat the line! read more

I needed a quick bite to eat at Ala Moana and was craving steak. I wasn't too impressed with this place though. The portions were kind of sad and they just fluffed everything up with lettuce. I think the only difference between the bowls and the plates are that the plates are like a buck more, but they come with what they call a "salad." There's no dressing or anything just steak right on top of lettuce. The ponzu sauce was good on the steak, but overall the food wasn't anything special and just didn't have enough meat. read more

Been coming here for years and they are consistent and don't disappoint. I can only comment on the Steak Roll and I always get it with garlic chips. Sometimes with spicy sauce aka sriracha. The steak roll is nice and filling and so good with the ponzu sauce it comes with. Even when they're busy, they pump out food pretty quick and they don't miss a beat. I definitely recommend trying something from their menu. read more

Ventured away from my current "office" at the convention center & found my way to the food court. The home of Teppanyaki Farmer. I have never heard or seen this food establishment before, which is fair since I hardly ever find myself at Ala Moana these days. Teppanyaki Farmer has, bowls, plates, burritos, wraps, and sandwiches. A pretty cool fusion. From the menu, I remember seeing garlic shrimp, kimchee pork, and boneless kalbi. There probably is more, but I was most intrigued by those three options. After contemplating for a few min as I waited in line, I decided on the boneless kalbi bowl topped with a sunny side up egg & crispy garlic chips. The bowl came with the option of white or brown rice, tasty boneless kalbi, and the egg. It was very simple, but still so very delicious. Meat was flavorful and tender. Rice cooked well. Egg yolky like I like it. Definitely will come back to try more things :) read more

Teppanyaki Farmer - Boneless kalbi bowl with an over easy egg - Teppanyaki Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

If you plan to drink then eat here.. make sure you order before 7pm.. they limit to like two dishes then and if you craving the burrito like myself, you'll have to wait tomorrow. Prices there I have noticed went up like 2-4 times in my years working at the mall but the Kalbi or Shrimp burrito are so good. Everything is flavorful but I have been eating the burrito.. picking up your food, that service is nice. What you're expecting at this establishment is simply the food. And I'd recommend the burrito for sure, it's big. Good enough for a big guy like me (it's just right on the tummy). read more

My dad brings home steaks when he is forced to go shopping at alas! He said getting steak from here makes the shopping experience better. I believe he gets the New York Steak.

The steak is yummy, soft and very enjoyable with rice or salad! read more

Husband's favorite place to grab on-the-go steak for his meal. No wonder why! Coz the moment I tasted it, it's onolicious! Dang my men!!!! ~ New York Steak (very rare), that's always our order (but mine I always requested it to be fully cooked). Meat is tender and not dry at all. It also comes with two scoop of (white/brown) rice with a serve of green salad on the side. Cost $16.95 + tax it's pretty expensive but anyways, have it once a week or so. They really make it good & the flavor is just right for our taste buds. ~ Customer service is good. They really cook the steak according to your preferred temperature. Smooth transaction and we always had a great time grabbing our meal in here. Another famous on their menu is their Steak Rolls. Most yelpers always say that its good, next time we gonna grab meal in here, I will surely try this one. ~ Mahalo and HAPPY JUANDERING fellow yelpers! read more

This is my GO TO FOR EVER AND EVER AND EVER! I've been a fan since the food truck days, to the tiny shop by Don Quijote, and now at The Lanai food court (mall level, across Macy's) at Ala Moana. I honestly think I could eat here everyday and I introduce this place to new people every chance I get. Ok, so the food. I usually go for the Steak Roll plate. That's what they're known for. It's thinly slices steak cooked on the teppanyaki grill, then spiralized potatoes are added and the steak is folded over. Yeah, that description didn't do it justice but it's hard to explain! Look at the pictures! The plate comes with your choice of white or brown rice and you can choose between 3 toppings: garlic chips, spicy, and wasabi. Garlic chips is a must, other stuff if you prefer. The plates are also served with ponzu for dipping. Recently I tried the Boneless Kalbi with Egg plate and almost died of depression when I realized I ate it all and wouldn't have leftovers for the next day. Sooooo good. The kalbi is pre-made so if you're in a rush, consider this plate because they only have to cook the egg. For my keto peeps, you can get the plates without rice and substitute all salad. I did with the kalbi plate and it was so delicious because the kalbi itself has a lot of flavor. I think technically the kalbi has a bunch of sugar in the sauce so if you're really strict, then opt for the New York Steak Plate. Higher price but it'll keep you from falling out of ketosis. The last time I went to Teppanyaki Farmer I ordered 6 plates and only had to wait about 10ish minutes. Cooked to order that fast!?! THANK YOU! read more
