Perfect meal! Haven't been this excited about a takeout meal in a long time. Takes awhile to get your order sometimes; once it took 30 minutes. But worth it! Meat so tender, melt-in-your-mouth goodness! Healthy salad with dressing, hot rice with furikake, 2 skewers for 13.99. Option to add more skewers. Takeout only, but you can sit in front on tables outside, or in your car, or at the beach... Free parking in front. Will definitely be back! read more

WagyuKushi - 2 skewer plate with rice and salad - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The kabob is amazingPrice is good the wait is not too long. My Mom and I love this place but you have to try it yourself. We keep coming back every weekend. read more

This is definitely not A5 wagyu imported straight from Japan but it is very tender and has the wagyu aroma. For the price of $6, this is a really good deal and would easily fill you up. The plates are really good prices too. The flavor is nice and comes with two sauces. You can see them being cooked from in front of you too. This was really pleasant I'd recommend trying this place. read more

WagyuKushi - Wagyu skewer - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This some good stuff! Wagyu as some might know is premium beef with lots of marbling which originated with special beef cattle originating in Japan. They use American crossbred wagyu here but the taste is still crazy good. Wagyu is so expensive so I just had to try it when at saw this place. The stall is outside of the Kaheka Don Quixote among the other food stalls. We got 2 sticks ($11). The plate was $14 for rice, 2 sticks and salad. One stick was $5 Price may seem steep for meat sticks but these were 1 inch squares of thinly sliced pieces of buttery flavorful steak. The meat was layered into chunk- reminded me of the mille fleuille or kasane type tonkatsu. It was brushed with seasoning and grilled. Not sure if it was brushed with butter (probably the meat itself) but it sure tasted buttery. Very moist, rich and tender. With ordinary teri meat sticks going for $3 + at other food places, $6 for good sized chunks of WAGYU meat is pretty reasonable! Only thing you have to wait. We came on a Sunday around 1 pm abs we had to wait 20 minutes. There were lots of people ordering. You could order and run inside Don Qui and get some nice cold brew to enjoy your meat with. Plenty of outside seating. This may be a splurge but you definitely have to take this opportunity to try wagyu beef read more

Saw a video on IG and wanted to try this place. We got the plate with 2 skewers with a side of rice and salad and it was $13.99. It also came with a wasabi sauce. The skewers weren't bad but I was a bit disappointed that majority of the pieces we had were soo fatty with little meat. Also wish they had other sauce options. Nonetheless it was still worth the try. read more

WagyuKushi - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My first son's first word as a toddler was not "mama" or "dada", it was "mo' MEAT"! Being a working Mom of teenage carnivorous boys, this is one of my newest favorite stops. It allows me to pick up a decent and delicious meaty meal that doesn't break the bank, and on the fly... The meat probably isn't A5 Wagyu grade, but it is tender, delectable and juicy with little pockets of fat mixed in and a light char where it counts. For those that prefer lean meat or are health conscious, this may not be the place for you, however, for those of you that keto diet like me, this is a new option! The meat is seasoned with a salt and pepper. Some parts were too salty which was why I deducted a star, but we still enjoyed it. I didn't get to take a pic of my extra sticks that I bought as they were devoured, but I ordered a plate with 2 sticks for myself and all lettuce. It was surprisingly filling. The sticks at first looked smaller, but I was pleasantly surprised and was quite satisfied. I will be back! read more

WagyuKushi - Skewer and all salad! Yum! - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Meat on a stick might be man's oldest food in every culture. You can't hate it. It's evolution. You see it and you're drawn to it. Located outside the row of eateries outside Don Quijote. It's American wagyu thinly sliced and packed on a stick that's cut into squares so it's shaped like a Melona bar, but with meat. The meat was well seasoned and comes with a sauce, but it doesn't need it. I'd love it if it came with shredded daikon and yuzu sauce...The fat juices are enough. The thin slices and the fat make the skewer easy to eat and pull apart. I got the plate which was $13. Comes with good portion of salad and a bed of rice that can soak up the juices from the 2 skewers. It's really a simple menu. 1 or 2 skewers ala carte or a lunch plate with 2 skewers, rice and salad. KISS, keep it simple stupid. Nothing really to think about. Just get it. If you're vegan, move on. This is caveman food. Me eat. Good meat. Slept now. Nap. read more

Conveniently located in the front left side of the entrance of Don Quijote is WagyuKushi. Now, who doesn't like wagyu beef? Who doesn't like watching it being cooked in front of your eyes? A wonderful alternative to your normal plate lunch but actually very healthy. Love the taste of the meat skewers with their special dipping sauce. A hint of sweetness that works well with the nicely charred morsels of wagyu beef. Mind you, there will be some fat, however, fat equals flavor! You can ask for all salad on the lunch plate in which I did and completely demolished the plate in no time. Be patient, as they cook to order, so grab a seat at the wooden bench and enjoy your meal. Very reasonable and a great place to have a nice, healthy lunch as you watch others contemplating where to eat. Don't forget to grab extra sauce and napkins near the register. read more

10/10 the wagyu skewers were so good! Very flavorful and very peppery but I enjoyed every bite for the price point. Service was quick and the store is located outside of don quiote market so it felt as clean as it would get. Would come back again! They do sell out so just make sure to come early read more

WagyuKushi - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

AMAZING. I didn't think I'd like it this much, I mean it's just a skewer of meat right? The meat isn't tough at all and although it won't "melt in your mouth", it's definitely really soft unlike any other skewer I've ever had. Went to pick up groceries at DQ and figured I'd just try a single skewer - it was so good that I went back to get a plate for lunch the next day. $5.99 for 1, $9.99 for 2, and $12.99 for a plate. Get the plate if you want a full meal or skewers if you just want a quick bite. It doesn't come with a wasabi sauce but it comes with a sweet shoyu/ponzu dipping sauce. It's good with or without it. The plate also comes with a side of italian dressing for the salad. LET'S KEEP THIS PLACE ALIVE FOREVER. read more

being from big island i know all about quality beef , this wasnt it ... meat was more on the tough side and had a different taste, rice was super mushy and i feel like that will make the difference between trying it again or not .. nice staff read more

What's not to like? Salad? Good! Dressing? Good! Meat? Goooood! (reference from Friends - meat trifle episode) All jokes, aside, wagyu kushi for cheap .99? The meat is marinated and is fatty. I honestly can't really tell its wagyu. The salad and the accompanying dressing is also very refreshing. read more

WagyuKushi - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Went to toot he newly opened Wagyukushi outside of Don Quiote when you Oder they cook it at that time so you will have to wait a bit for your food. The taste was really tasty the meat is soft but not as soft as the better grade Wagyu it is also kind of thinly sliced and squished together to make the sticks. There isn't much selection other than a plate option. For the price I would probably go back again. read more

Melt in your mouth Wagyu beef! Wanting to go back for more! Taste so good with or without sauce or rice. I know they are fairly new business, but I'm hoping they offer Gift cards/certificates. I would like to gift them to friends this Christmas and have them try it because I honestly think it was that Good! Located right outside of Don Quijote near Alamoana. Plenty of parking, but hard to find sometimes because it's a busy area. Also expect a Wait. I believe they won't make it till you order it. Go try'em folks! read more

Who doesn't love Wagyu?!? This place is at the food court area of Don Quijote..so after you enjoy shopping for hours in that place, and hungry for some good eats. This place is a definite recommendation for a good meal. Service is good and staff are very friendly. The meals are fairly priced too and worth it in my opinion. You should definitely give it a try. read more

Great value! Serving size is pretty generous and despite the long line, the service is fast so it goes by really quick. Plenty of tables and chairs to eat your meal on the spot. Come early because once they run out, the close up shop for the day. Weekends seem to be busier so come extra early :) read more

Located outside of Don Quijote in Honolulu. There's a parking lot but it's usually busy so be prepared. They are open daily from 10am-6pm. They share picnic tables with all of the other food vendors. Some of the tables are shaded and some aren't. I got the plate to share with my fiancé. We didn't want to order too much in case we didn't like it. Better safe than sorry, right? WRONG. We should've ordered more! I wish we ordered a plate and an additional 2 skewers. There is nothing special about the salad, but I do think rice is a must. The sauce for the skewers is also very tasty. Overall, the price for the quality of the wagyu is worth it. I'll definitely be back again. read more

Expect a little wait as every skewer is cooked to order but these skewers are HEAVY. There's a lot of meat on a single skewer so it's worth the price! It's not like A5 melt in your mouth wagyu but it is very tasty. It's on the saltier side for sure so be mindful of that if you like plain foods. The wasabi sauce is also tasty and has no horseradish-y bite so I liked it! To get there, walk up to the front of Don Quijote but don't go inside. Take a left and just keep walking among the restaurants until you see it! There are a ton of picnic tables outside and it's covered too so rainy days aren't an issue. It's pretty crowded and casual on weekends. Staff isn't unfriendly but they're not friendly either. Just kinda doin their job. Overall, good experience to try. Not sure if it's worth the hype but it's good! read more

Wagyu beef on a stick! Well, it's actually on a skewer. This was my first time eating here and I was so excited to give it a taste. We arrived, went to the window to order which was super easy and straightforward; their menu is ultra simplified. You had a choice between Wagyu Skewers and a combination plate. I decided on the combination plate which consisted of 2 Wagyu skewers, 2 scoops of white rice and a spring salad with dressing. The all-star of the combination plate was the Wagyu skewers. The Wagyu beef was thinly sliced, seasoned well and most flavorful. The Wagyu sauce that came with the combo plate, was delicious. It was listed as a Chef's Special Wasabi Sauce. Despite the word wasabi in the name, it was not spicy and had subtle hints of teriyaki and Worcestershire sauce. The sauce enhances and pronounced the natural flavor of the Wagyu skewers. I tried it without the sauce and the Wagyu was no where near as flavorful. The white rice was your standard and customary steamed white rice; nothing miraculous about it. Same could be said about the spring salad. All-in-all it was a well portioned combination plate. Wagyukushi advertises an 8-minute wait. We came at the tail end of a rush so our order took about 15-minutes; which by no means was a deal breaker. I would recommend Wagyukushi for a quick shopping meal or abbreviated lunch break. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant! The staff is friendly and food is so good. Once I arrived at Wagyukushi the line was short and I was greeted with a smile and the person grilling the steak asked what I was going to order. She prepared my meal promptly and it was ready before I even had a chance to pay. I had chosen the popular steak skewer plate, which included 2 wagyu skewers, accompanied by a fresh salad, rice, and a delectable special wasabi steak sauce. The wagyu skewers were grilled to absolute perfection and was very tender and the sauce all over both the skewers and rice were soooo Ono. I absolutely love this restaurant and have nothing but good things to say. Highly recommend trying their steak skewers whether you get the plate or skewers alone! read more

WagyuKushi - Steak Skewer Plate - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

So funny, just like most of the reviews here, this place initially caught my eye on Instagram. Bookmarked it and finally made it here. It was a snack time between lunch and dinner so just opted for the skewer. They were cleaning the grill when we got there so it took a little extra time to get our food but happy to report it was fresh. The meat is soft and juicy and has a great flavor. It doesn't need the sauce but it amplifies the flavor. There's lots of tables to sit and wait for your food or you can head into Don Quijote and walk around for a little bit. read more

Had the chance to try this IG famous shop! Located outside the Don Quijote in town. I got the plate for $12.99 which includes 2 skewers, rice, and salad. A great deal considering the price of meat nowadays and the fact that one skewer is $5.99. After ordering, you do have to wait 10-15 minutes so you could take a walk inside don quijote or look at the other shops nearby. I love how the food is prepared in front of you so you know it will be hot and fresh. The meat was really tasty and seasoned very generously. It also comes with their special sauce which is equally as delicious especially paired with the meat. They are generous on the rice portion and I think the plate is well worth the price. A great find and will be back! read more

The line was not that long when I got there. It's around 6:30pm, before they close. They accept orders till 6:45PM. The skewers are great. A bit salty if you eat without rice. So order the plate. read more

"I don't really need rice.. I just want the meat" -- WRONG! The rice is a welcome treat. Sprinkled with furikake--- I added my own crispy garlic oil to top it off. I poured the shoyu based sauce all over the skewers on top of the rice to get a trickle down effect. The end results were heaven in my mouth. I should have got another plate. I will be back. P.S. My only complaints: The salad dressing was meh. The sign says something about a special wasabi sauce and it didn't have any wasabi sauce? read more

Happy Valentines Day, Decided to have lunch at Don Quijote Kaheka food court. Heard about this place. My god the Wagyu Beef melt in your mouth. This Wagyu is U.S not Japan. You can see why the price is so affordable for the amount. If I recall the Wagyu from Japan is about $100- a pound. This will be my go to place when I'm hungry for beef. The owners of this establishment is Don Quijote. The rice is good too, they use Tamaki Gold, which sell for $40- for 15lbs. It you're in the area, must try this restaurant, you won't be disappointed. I did have a take out of 4- skewers to take home. Aloha, Derek read more

They have opened recently on the Don Quixote outside of their complex. I'm not sure how I should exactly describe their locale but a long stretch of eateries side by side one must explore. Once the orders are taken staff will grill the cube size wagyu cooked to perfection. This day not realizing a customer had large order of the box meals I waited about 30 minutes. Although I'm not sure of the wait time they do grill it at the time of the orders are taken therefore patiently wait it's worth it! The plate box included fresh leaf vegetables with Italian dressing that balances well well with the wagyu steak...furikake topping with the wagyu steaks on top of the rice. Some customers were requesting vegetables salad no rice and some with rice in which the staff okayed their request. I haven't taken a photo of my order we were so hungry. May I say the wait is worth every bite but may I suggest to the Managemt to add mini tomatoes to accent the fresh vegetables? I can see that the staff are not chef train to cut any vegetables to place there in which I understand their concept. I highly suggest to all meat lovers try their Wagyu reasonably box meals to go. read more

At Don Quijote on Kaheka street, I noticed Wagyukushi. The words wagyu beef and skewers caught my interest. I ordered a wagyu beef-cut plate which comes with 2 skewers, rice, side salad and dressing for $12.99. They also sell 1 skewer for $5.99 and 2 skewers for $9.99. It is nice to see the wagyu beef-cut skewers being cooked on display and the wagyu beef are thinly sliced and packed into that skewer. So, you can tell these skewers take time to prep. The wagyu beef-cut skewers weren't melted in your mouth wagyu but pretty good, seasoned wagyu beef. Yes, I would come here again. The wagyu beef-cut skewers are pretty thick protein. read more

I was not a fan of the skewers. I was expecting a lot more. Not quantity, but quality wise. I felt like these "wagyu" pieces were basically alternating layers of fat and beef. I was truly disappointed. The salad dressing and their Wasabi sauce were amazing tho. They were rhe highlights of the entree. read more

Good pricing of $5.99 for one skewer but the meat on the skewer was mostly pure fat and I ended up not eating a lot of it... definitely not what I consider to be a decent quality of wagyu meat. The kitchen staff was very nice but the cashier lady was quite rude and dismissive. read more

The steak is cooked to your liking it isn't fast food so don't expect it to be fast. The steak is delicious and it's cut nicely to ratio of the rice. Aunty there is really nice the seating open seats and it shares with other restaurants that's there for two skewers for $14 is good. read more

They have 3 options; 1 skewer $6, 2 skewer $10, plate (which comes with 2 skewers, rice, salad, wasabi sauce) $13. Their feature is thinly sliced wagyu layered onto a stick and grilled. I'm not convinced it's 100% wagyu (also the price kinda gives it away) but it's worth it for the price and the try. Nothing we'll be running back for or willing to wait in line for but it wasn't bad!! The wasabi shoyu dipping sauce was different and I really liked that! read more

Got 2 orders of the skewer plate. Tbh, it was just meh. Very bland without the sauce. Rice was cooked good. Mac salad was okay. Grilled veg. was unnecessary in my opinion. For how long we waited (more than 20min), you would think that the skewers would be piping hot, but they weren't. Tbh, they were lukewarm, kind of like they've been sitting out for a while. What was interesting was customers who had ordered after us got their food before us... Overall, just an okay place. Wouldn't go back. read more

Got late lunch on Saturday and called the order in 10 min before hand. Got 1 plate with 2 skewers and an additional 4 skewers. Hubby was there in 5 minutes as we are in the neighborhood and waited 5 minutes on line paid and then the 3 plates were ready. This was around 1:15 on Saturday, Jan. 6. When he got home I opened the boxes and the best smells wafted throughout the apt and I could tell the meat was tender as I always remove them from the skewers to serve. They were delish and the salad and rice was perfect as well. We will put this place back on the rotation list as it wasn't as good as this the last time we went but today it was back to GREAT. Call in the order ahead of time to save 10 minutes or more if the lunch crowd is there. The number is 808.973.4800 ext 152 after the recorded voice answers. read more

First, I would give a 0 star if possible. My husband picked up an order today and I was dismayed at the high reviews. I guess people like eating bowl of fat. Has anyone unrolled the beef from the skewer and looked at the pieces? All those 5-star reviews say "it's tender" is because it's 90% fat (see photo) !!! The 10% beef isn't even worth swallowing with full of gristles. This kind of food shouldn't be allowed to be served to customers. I would like my money back! read more
