What can I say about wagyu on a stick! This cute little hidden gem is the place to go if you're craving fast kine wagyu! First heard about this place from my other half, and I'm not a big fan of wagyu until now. I swear! I took a small bite & my mouth was sold! The best! The workers definitely works hard as the lines and wait time for your stick or plate may take awhile to get. So be prepared for patience as the workers do their best to get it cooking to its onolicious taste! Of course we'll be back! I highly recommend. read more

Delicious skewers! I got them well done. Great price too, 2 skewers, rice and "salad" for less than $15. I usually do the combo plus 2 more skewers for around $25. read more

the wagyu was very good but the lady before me ordered 8 skewers and they forgot to make 2 of her skewers so they gave her my 2 skewers which ended up with them re-making my order and making me wait 35 minutes for my order. when i asked them why it took so long, they just told me off and said "it's coming up, just wait" came on a sunday evening around 5PM. read more

Sometimes you just crave beefy fatty goodness and this place hits the spot. I actually got the sushi from the grocery and created the perfect "surf and turf" on a budget. Can't wait to go back. read more

When this business first opened I tried it and really liked it. Went there today and my 2 skewers were extremely tough and full of fat. Very disappointing from the past read more

Been here a bunch of times before, today I bought 7 skewers of meat, and they are definitely not wagu beef. It was really tough and fatty. Very disappointed. read more

Almost didn't get these when I saw the prices. So glad we tried them today! The meat is luscious and tender and really seasoned nicely. We liked the beef so much. They know how to cook rice too. read more

Wagyu is very tasty and ono. Customer service is rude! I would go back again because it was ono. Hopefully they fix their staff.

takes really long to get food. There is no sense of urgency. Cooks just talking story. Ordered 1 plate and 40 minutes later still didn't get my food. 2 stars because the Wagyu is delicious. read more

4 stars for the food. It's ALWAYS on point. 2 stars for ordering. They have NEVER gotten my order correct. My dumb bad for not checking before I left. But come on. Not really my fault. I always order us 2 plates. 1 with all toss salad and 1 regular. They FINALLY got that part correct. But i also always order 2 extra skewers. That's $11.00. But of course I got home and was missing the extra 2 and I'm out $11. F*ck! It's frustrating! Just check your food before you leave. With 5 people behind the counter you'd think they'd get it right. ***They're super friendly and fast...but that doesn't exactly make up for not getting what I paid for. Nobody wants to drive back there at 5:30 during all that traffic and mad rush. I'll definitely be back because it's bomb. Haha! But ugh. Get it right. read more

Very rude ladies upfront working the place the ladies from sushi robot sent us over claiming they were the same company all we asked for one a spoon to eat with and they were super mean to my child ! They also refused the spoon. Not the best service for someone trying to eat with something other than hands. read more

This place is worth it, we come here once a week, skewer Wagyu is amazing. Friendly staff and decent prices, you're getting a better quality meat so you pay a bit more, but worth every dollar. Lots of seating in the dining area. Tons of food options as well so you can make it a real potluck dining experience read more

Finally tried this place after seeing it all over IG, and it was defiantly worth the hype!! The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly, it's basically like shabu shabu thin sliced meat stacked on each other and on a skewer. Lots of flavor, I'd recommend just getting the plate for $12 so you can eat it with rice and tossed salad, it is a little salty for most people but not overpowering ,so the rice will help. We went during lunch hour 1:30pm on a Saturday so we had to wait around 10-15 mins to get our food after we ordered, but it's defiantly worth the wait. I give it 4 stars just because of where it's located (birds everywhere munching off scraps at the tables and old people feeding them.... Smh) and they are short staffed. All in all the food is great and at such a reasonable price for high quality meat, you can't go wrong. read more

Came here for lunch today since hardly anything is open at 10:20am in the morning around this area. I have been wanting to try this place since I have been coming to Waikiki for my 8 day conference. I ordered the 2 steak skewer lunch with an additional 2 skewers of steak which set me back about $24. The process of ordering, preparing, and then receiving my food was somewhat not smooth. There seemed to be only two staff members, a cook, and a cashier/food/plate prepper. The cashier was busy trying to get plates ready for people waiting and all the while the line to order was building. The cook was busy seasoning the skewers and cooking and turning the cooking meat. The cashier had some confusing way of accounting who got what plate and I am pretty sure she gave more steak skewers to the wrong people and tried to short me, while giving me a confused look. I had to show her my receipt to prove I ordered four steak skewers. I grabbed napkins and a chopsticks and took my food back to the conference center. While eating my chopsticks broke and I was sad. The steak skewers were perfectly cooked but my only complaint was the seasoning was too light and the sauce they provided was too sweet for my liking. I usually like my steak with just salt, pepper, and garlic. The quality of the meat was good, just need more seasoning. read more

Excellent Wagyu beef sticks. 2 sticks with rice and salad is a great deal in Honolulu

Great price and food for the price! Staff very pleasant and accommodating. Ordered for second time and will go back again. Convenient location; lots of parking; and not a long wait. read more

This place is located outside of Don Quijote in the food court. I've been trying to find a wagyu place for my boyfriend to try without having to break the bank since many places in Hawaii that serve wagyu are super expensive ($$$). We were able to get a plate of rice, greens, and wagyu skewers here for about $14. The staff there was very nice and it didn't take long for me to pick up my plate. For the price, it was really good and filling! I've had wagyu that just tasted like meatloaf before but the wagyu here actually tasted buttery and authentic which my boyfriend and I enjoyed. I actually liked this place, I would come back again. Since it's located outside in a food court, expect the ambiance to be busy with people walking back and forth and it can be hard to find an empty table to sit at if it's really busy. People are nice enough to let you sit with them though! read more

Tried this place on the recommendation of a friend while shopping in Don Quiote store. So glad I did. Excellent flavored meat sticks and extraordinarily tender. Even more tasty with the ponzu tasting sauce. Just tried one at first for $5.99 (kind of pricey). Loved it so much I went back a few hours later and got the 2 for $9.99 special. Went back next day and ordered the plate for $12.99. Would've given 5 stars but for the price being a bit high. read more

Wagyu skewers we're excellent! Value amazing! Probably the only problem we had was the birds trying to get a bite lol.

Love this place. I've literally came here everyday for my post workout meal lol. even the lady next door offered me a discount to eat her food read more

An amazing gem! Protect this place at all costs. The combo plate is a must with salad and rice. And the wasabi dipping sauce is so so good. I can't imagine giving this place less than 5. read more

THE BAD: Meat was WAY overcooked, tough, and somehow dry and very oily at the same time. No discernible wagyu or extra beefy taste, although to be expected if it's American washugyu. Upon closer inspection, the skewers consist of many layers of thinly sliced beef, some pieces all fat, and some all meat. No evenly dispersed marbling to be found. Aunties working the cashier and grill were very nice. Came at lunch on a weekday and it was packed - everyone in that outdoor food court was waiting for this place. Passed here countless times going to Donki and always see the sold out sign. That smell of seared meat entices many - but oddly enough the meat is not seared or cooked properly. The meat was dull and gray like it was boiled - and it practically was. I stood there watching it sit on the flat top at a very low heat for all of 20 minutes while the chef periodically ladled melted beef fat over everything. The cashier told me wait time would be 10 minutes, but turned out to be 20 - not a big deal since it was busy. This could have been such a winner but no hard sear and rare to med-rare center no where to be found. THE GOOD: $13 for two skewers, salad, dipping sauce, and rice feels like a good deal. They use Japanese short-grain rice and it's decently cooked. The dipping sauce was very delicious - some kind of wafu shoyu wasabi one. Again, aunties were very friendly and did not let the huge crowd fluster them one bit. read more

This is a definite must try for every steak lover. Saw someone post on FB and had to try, I didn't believe the price but it's true. $12.99 for rice, toss greens and 2 wagyu sticks. The meat melts in your mouth and the sauce is good too. The only negative is the service is very very slow. I waited 35 minutes for my plate. The person at the counter missed 2 people and gave a plate to someone whose number was after me. Sort of disorganized as I was waiting I noticed they had someone preparing the sauce and flipping over to the salad dressing . While the food is good I'm not sure if it's worth 35 minutes. read more

It's like sliced wagyu on a stick either way the right amount of fat. It's great comes with a side sauce that pairs well - last time I went a plate cost $15. read more

Literal wagyu goodness. The wagyu skewers are cooked and seasoned perfectly. Definitely would come back for more read more

Ordered extra sauce and didnt receive it. Didnt offer a bag for my purchase when immediately asking the next customer if they wanted a bag. Order took longer than 10 minutes that the cashier suggested. read more

I don't know if it's actually wagyu, but it tastes great and would buy it again if I'm craving it. Service was pretty quick too.

Had their dinner plate which comes with two skewers, rice, and a salad. The skewers are very tender and have a strong delicious beef flavor. The wasabi sauce compliments the beef. So good that I'm craving it a day later and can't wait to go again. read more

Takes forever to get your food literally the most disorgaized place ive ever been If u come here make sure u have an hour to wait read more

The price were reasonable and the meat was very good. I didn't order the plate but the skewers and two was more than enough fir me. No starch necessary! read more

Delicious and the family favorite on Oahu! Well worth the wait! Tasty beef sticks with just the right amount of rice and salad with perfect dipping sauce. A must try when at Don Quixote! read more

Was tasty the meat was very tender they had a sauce with wasabi. You have to wait awhile cause they cook it after you order

Overall really good, especially for the price point. Two things would make this place an obvious five stars - higher heat (very little sear is on the meat), and a bit more seasoning. I've eaten there and taken it home. When I take it to-go, I reheat on high heat just long enough to sear it and add seasoning - big improvement. I suppose they under-season given they provide a wasabi sauce to top the skewer but for those who want to just taste the beef, it falls a touch flat. Will I go again - yes definitely! read more

Prices have gone up recently, about 10%. Based on Yelp reviews I was expecting some unique-tasting wagyu beef skewers. Instead the two I got were nothing special; at least the sauce that came with them provided a taste boost. Be prepared to wait at least half an hour for your order, prepared by 3 surly aunties. read more

Good meat taste, but if you dont like waiting for 20 minutes + for your order its not the place for you.

Their skewers are made to order and they are so delicious! Super juicy and flavorful and the sauce that comes with it goes so well with the skewers! I recommend getting the 2 skewers because one will not be enough! So ono! read more

3.5 Stars. Pretty good, perhaps expected more. The wagyu is not the best quality, but the preparation is unique. I prefer the sticks more seared, with the fat all caramelized. It's a good snack for when you're not craving carbs. read more
