    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.

    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.

    Filled with fat wagyu skewer

    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.

    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!!!

    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!

    [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?

    A little on the fatty side but tasty and satisfying. Got the 5 skewer pack for around $30. Not something I would get every day but it's a nice treat to get good meat sometimes. Food court seating area was clean. Cashier was friendly.

    There was no line at 1pm so I got my steak skewers quickly. Prompt and courteous cashier. The skewers are really great since its the meat is already sliced and slides off easily from the stick.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

When you walk in you will be greeted by the cashiers. Menu is on a screen. You order first, pay, and the cashier will give you table number if you are dine-in. Kinda reminds me of Carl's Jr or Conner Bakery. I order a small Ice Coffee coffee of the day was Kona and a Tomato Jam Sammie. The sandwich came pretty quickly, the briche was toasted, overeasy egg, cheese topped with arugula and tomato jam which had a BBQ flavor. Their prices are reasonable for a cafe style and the food are made fresh. So it's a good experience if you are in Kapolei area. This is a good size cafe with options to sit indoors or outdoors. I sat at the outdoor bar area because there's 3 TVs up. Perfect for me to watch the World Cup Spain vs Belgium. I definitely would come back to try out their lunch menu.

The menu leans heavy on local comfort favorites appetizers, island‑style entrées, and cocktails that go down easy.

Food and drinks came out quickly and everything was amazing. I took off a star for pricing. We each got a drink and we shared fish and chips and our bill was $100 with tip. We felt that was a bit steep for sharing a meal and having 1 drink each. My friends who live on the Island said that other locations were way cheaper, so it's a bummer this one was more expensive. I'm assuming it's because it's across from Aulani. We noticed that the menu here was more expensive than eating at Aulani, so next time we'll probably just stay at the resort. Either way, food and experience were great but we probably won't return because of the pricing.

After dinner they boxed up all the leftover food for us to take home and I was so happy for that! Since I didn't eat a ton at my own wedding I got to house all of the leftovers with our families. The taste, the value, the service... it really can't be beat. We've already decided we'll be tracking down his foodtruck whenever we can!
