The people are nice, the food is good and the prices are pretty reasonable. I'd definitely recommend!

Located outside Don Quijote Honolulu. Ohhhhh mannnnnnn it is so good. Tender, well seasoned and grilled to order so it takes awhile to get your food. They have tables outside. Definitely a go if you like steaks. Yummmmmm read more

The food is fine but customer service is horrible. Was told the wait would be 10-15 minutes when it actually took 25 minutes to receive 2 skewers. When I asked for a bag and some napkins, the middle aged, slightly chubby, pale cashier threw them towards me without a glance. Not worth the wait or hassle. read more

They got these wagyu steak sticks with their special wasabi sauce on the side that is ono (delicious). However I was a little disappointed that the steak sticks were salty today. It was still tender and juicy though. Also their price went up. I got their plate for $13.99 (before tax) . It recently went up a dollar. read more

The smell is what lured me in. Giant meat sticks! How can you not love that. The meat itself was tender with the perfect blend of fat but it was just way too salty for me. I don't know if if could have eaten 2. The price was great though read more

WagyuKushi - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My husband and son bought 3 of the wagyu plates with rice. After we ate we all three got very ill. My husband said he should've canceled his order when he saw how the lady who was handling the meat was touching the counters with the gloves on her hand and would proceed to handle the meat skewers. Gross. read more

WagyuKushi is located outside of the Don Quijote Kaheka store. There are picnic style benches that you can dine on if you choose to eat there but from what I noticed, most people got their orders to go. Customer service from the cashier was friendly and the guy who was grilling didn't take too long to get my order out after I paid. WagyuKushi offers Wagyu skewers in 1 stick, 2 stick and a plate lunch option. The price is very reasonable for Wagyu meat. Keep in mind, you do get what you pay for. It's not going to melt in your mouth like A5 but it's better than most other cuts of meat that's not classified as Wagyu. You will notice that it is chewy but it's not too bad since the meat is sliced thinly. I ordered the 2 skewer option and it came in a take out bag with a container of sauce. The sauce was a good compliment to the skewer. Even though I got it to go and it took me 10-15 minutes to get home, the meat was still a medium to medium well. I would imagine it being medium rare to medium if one ate it right away. As mentioned, it's not bad for the price and worth a try. read more

WagyuKushi - 2 Skewers - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Amazing ways skewers. Wasabi sauce is fantastic ans so good over the skewers and rice

REALLY tasty! I do pros and cons for my reviews so here are the pros and cons of this spot: PROS: convenient, I work in the Pan Am building right across the street so I can just j walk my butt over there in like 2 minutes, it's OUTSIDE of Don Q, sometimes going inside Don Q is chaotic, it's packed and has long lines. This food represents easy in every way, it's cheap (2 for $6.99 or a plate with spring mix salad and rice with 2 skewers for 12.99), it's quick Ive been twice now and never waited more than 10 minutes to order the food or for it to be ready. Its light! No deep frying, or bathing in fat it's cooked so the fat of the wagyu is all that is needed pretty much, and of course it's easy to eat because it's on a stick! It's consistently good, like it's not like one stick has been better than the other or one bite was different it's good from beginning to end. Seasoned WELL the umami charred bits have the best aroma that MAKES your mouth water, and it delivers in flavor. Please do your favor and hop over for the perfect amount of food and a super quick and satisfying meal for lunch or dinner. CONS I can't really think of any? Can I get some kind of sesame creamy spicy sauce to turn up the heat a bit? Just a personal preference tho. It's not like EXPENSIVE quality of wagyu so there's some chew but its not unappetizing in any way, and I like my beef softtttt, so some people may even find perfection in the texture if they aren't as picky as me. read more

Wife told me about this place and we happened to stop by Don Q to grab something. Ordered 2 sticks for my son and I to try. I watched as the chef grabbed 2 sticks, season it, and toss it on the cooktop. Our number was called about 5 min later. The sticks was served in a paper bag with a clear cello front and included a little cup of ponzu type sauce. The beef was excellent and perfectly flavored...melt in your mouth. It's super thin pieces of wagyu formed into a square like a shish kebab. It didn't really need the sauce but I tried it and both ways was good. If you're craving wagyu for a reasonable price...this is your place. read more

Stopped by to get 26 sticks and a plate (total 28) for my staff and me. It took about 10 minutes for my whole order to get done. The staff were kind of surprised that I was ordering a bit. But they did their best to make it as quickly as they could. We all loved it. My staff all kept saying they will definitely go in their own. I had the plate but gave one each to my staff. The meat sticks were tender and melt in your mouth. However it did taste like it was mixed with other cuts of meat. We've eaten Kobe and wagyu cuts of meat before and we can tell due to the texture of the meat. Regardless it was well worth it. Will be back again. Thank you for making the meal and sticks for us. read more

WagyuKushi - Some of the wagyukushi - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

35 minutes for one skewer to be cooked on a non busy day. Waiting to heat up the griddle to cook the food during normal business hours. Lady chef was also coughing while cooking the food.. read more

I dare say you will enjoy shoving this beefy stick in your mouth.. when it is all over u may need to put the t swift album on to help u sort through the feels. the fare is simple but hits the spot. I think the meat is just seasoned with a steak salt & pepper blend, but the sweet soy sauce dip goes great with it. the beef comes as a stack of thin slices that reminds me of eating good kbbq brisket. The meat itself is not incredibly tender, there are pieces of straight fat layered into the stack. Not sure what 'American Wagyu' even means, but for the price it's a good portion. I was stuffed for a long time, probably really high fat content in this lol. I got the plate but next time I would just get skewers and make my own meal at home. The rice was all mushy.. and the salad was nice mix of greens but i thought the Italian dressing was a bit off kilter. read more

My husband saw this place on social media and decided to check it out. I must say it's sooo good! They only make so many wagyu skewers a day so go early. The flavor is just right and the meat is melt in your mouth quality. And the sauce is just a great addition. read more

We were lucky enough to discover Don Quijote but passing the food stalls outside before going home, we saw this simple stall selling one item - wagyu beef skewers. My wife got the platter for herself but it ended up with the rest of the family sharing and finishing her plate. It was that good it caught us by surprise! A diamond in the rough. The beef skewer went well with the rice. The first thing that came to mind eating this was a Ruth's Chris ribeye steak seared to my preference. Perfect! read more

Yummy American wagyu. Layers of meat. I saw the cook use Montreal Steak seasoning. Definitely recommend eating it right away. The sauce given is very light. They mentioned a wasabi sauce but lady cooking just handed this ponzu like sauce. 2 for $9.99. They were limited and sold out later in the day the two times I went. So I recommend going early. read more

WagyuKushi - Yummy - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

These Wagyu beef skewers at WagyuKushi (one of the vendors in front of Don Quijote on Kaheka St) are the best things since sliced bread! Wow, that flavor, the juiciness, that value ($5.99 for one skewer, $9.99 for 2, $12.99 for a plate including rice and salad) - wow, just wow! I'm running back there again as soon as possible! read more

Little pricey for the amount of food you get. I wasn't thrilled by it. Don't think I will make a special trip.

They should put a sign up that says it takes 30-40 minutes to make your food. Not sorry for putting up this review... but 35 minutes for 2 skewers of salty meat is a horrible experience. To anyone reading this, eat somewhere else. To the owner of this business.. take this in a positive light. Get a hotter grill... come up with a better plan to speed things up. I regret trying this place. read more

Surprisingly tasty food at the Don Q. They only make one dish and they're good at it but the food took a long wait. Another downside, the skewer is stacks of very thinly sliced beef, not cubes in case you didn't know, and some parts were fat but not in a marbled way. Would still come back. read more

We were going to Don Quijote, so we had to try this. It was made fresh as you ordered so expect to wait a little bit. It was $10 for two skewers, it was very juicy and good with the sauce it comes with. I was craving some meat and it did hit the spot. read more

This was a spur of the moment 'try.' My mother ordered it for me and her just to get change for her big bill and though she has ate here many times because she works around the corner, this was my first time and it was AMAZING! I wasn't aware that wagyu is a high-end steak but man, I can see why this place is busy. I bit into the meat on the skewer and I'm not going to lie, I was not expecting it to be so damn delicious. It was so flavorful. I was savored every bit that I took. I closed my eyes and smiled and did my little happy dance. I'm in my third trimester so please understand how important food is to my taste buds. Steak is one of the few things, my baby really likes and doesn't let me chuck back up. If I could, I would eat this place again. The downside I'd say is that it is a part of the Don Quijote Food Court, so the waiting area isn't as big as it should be and because this place is so popular, it is very, very, very busy. I'd suggest if you're going to eat here to not plan things to do right after because there is always a line. A line, to order and a line to wait for the food. Parking is or can be extremely stressful because most will choose to park right in-front of the Store, Don Quijote rather than park in the parking structure off to the side. Granted, the streets in the surrounding area are riddled with homelessness, there are cameras in that parking structure and bright lights. I'd definitely recommend eating here because it is an experience and it is delicious. My mom ordered the sauce on the side because she, herself isn't the biggest fan of it and honestly, there was no point in trying it because the meat was so good. It just had so much flavor in it and I just can't stress this enough for people to order themselves a plate. It was only $12.99 +tax, I'm sure. But you get two skewers, rice and salad. And for the taste of the steak, I think $13 or even $14 is worth the price. TRY IT! TRY IT! TRY IT! read more

The skewers were pretty good and they didn't over cook it. Price is very reasonable. 2 skewers don't look like much but it's definitely enough to make you full. read more

Excellent wagyu for a good price, tasty and savory! Serving is fast, as long as they aren't backed up too much. Pick up and go, a great treat if you are in the area. read more

Can't beat the price 2 skewers for $10.99 Really juicy and I love the sweet shoyu wasabi sauce. They do run out so come early. Also make sure they give you the sauce! read more

5 stars for the food. I've been going to this place from the time they first opened. The beef is really good except recently, there's been more chewy parts of the beef included. I didn't try it with the wasabi sauce at first because I thought would be spicy and I don't eat anything spicy. But I tried it a few times and realized it's not that spicy and it really enhances the taste of the beef. The skewers are cooked to order so you'll have to wait at least 10 minutes. I've tried to call and order ahead but they never answer the phone even though they said they do phone orders so minus one star. Don't go too close to closing time because they sometimes close early. I've been disappointed several times. read more

Very yummy kabobs. I like how it's straight forward and it's $11 for two skewers, which is decently priced. Rice would be an amazing option for an additional $2 & it's decently sized for a lunch meal. The rice is a good balance for the meat & the wasabi sauce is not too pungent, even my wasabi-sensitive friend actually enjoyed it. We also ordered some yakisoba from another food stall and combined it with the the kabobs as a side and it was pretty fulfilling:) read more

So good! Wish you could order ahead because there's always a little wait but I guess yummy food takes time. Try to find an open table while waiting for your order because it's best eaten hot, right after delivery! read more

Many months ago some Carnivore peeps really enjoyed the skewers. Im near vegan, but I did try a bite. Yep, its tasty alright! If you enjoy tender tasty beef morsels, you'll probably enjoy this read more

OK so we were on vacation in Hawaii for a few days and we loved this spot so much that we went back there like 4x in a span of like 2-3 days (our last days of vacation). We went back so many times that the nice ladies that worked there remembered us I miss it so much pleaseee open one in LA!!! read more

This spot is kinda hidden, but it's definitely worth checking out! The wagyu is thinly sliced then skewered together which makes it super easy to eat and keeps the meat tender. The sauce had a hint of wasabi and it balanced out the fattiness of the meat well. Highly recommend and would absolutely come back the next time I'm in Hawaii! read more

The food is bomb here but the service is super slow. The aunty that took my order made me wait till she was done eating before she took my order. And the aunty thats cooking the food is slow. The food is good but if its going to take 20-30 mins and its not even a busy place, i can see why its slow with customers. I came here once before and the service was same, slow. But food was good and good deal! Even with it being slow ill probably be back! read more

The beef was so delicious - soft, with just the right amount of fat. The salad was the perfect portion considering how big the plate is! My only set back is I don't like wasabi so I didn't love the sauce, BUT the meat really was so good on its own. Definitely returning after another Don Q grocery trip. Or maybe just to go eat :). read more

First time trying this wagyu beef skewers at Don Quijote. We had the box at $13.99 including 2 large scoops of good rice and a side salad with 2 skewers of thinly sliced wagyu beef formed into cubes on the skewer. It also comes with a small container of wasabi sweet sauce. The meal was very tasty, the meat tender and full of beef flavor with some layering of thin fat to keep it moist and tender. The japanese rice was very good quality and the salad greens good but it came with an Italian dressing iso japanese dressing. The lady cooking the skewers for us was Almida and she was so nice. We asked for medium rare but by the time we got home, it was already well done. I will try and ask for rare next time but not sure if they are willing to send out beef that is rare for food safety reasons. Will definitely go back to Wagyukushi for a tasty meal! read more

The bomb! So glad i came accross this place today, wanted to do a quick grocery run at don quijote and this caught ny attention. Best decision ever! The skewers were out of this world, layers and layers of buttery goodness! I went around 6pm, was a bit of a wait, then they sold out. Only wish they had another location, Don Quijote is not necessarily the best place to enjoy your meal bec of all the homeless people. But nevertheless, will be coming back. read more

My first time trying and it was ok. I thought it would be more tender melt in your mouth. Over all I would recommended to others to try, It gets busy which is good so you have to get there early read more
