First time going there. I went here yesterday and in june 1, 2025. Good portion of food in my opinion. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Price is comparable to other places. This is a local mom and pop restaurant. They do accept card. However, I advise to pay with cash. As you pay higher with card.
I been here three times now and every visit have been great experiences regardless of the store being busy. The sweet and kind front lady took my order when she could and handed off my order. I tried their Chicken Katsu, Chicken Sandwhich, and their Garlic Steak plate. All of which were amazing because they were all juicy and wonderfully cooked! Highly recommend a visit and maybe you'll enjoy their delicious meal for such an amazing price too!
I had the good morning breakfast;steak and scrambled eggs. It was a good portion size plate that can hold you until lunchtime. The food was delicious though, the steak wasn't dry and the scrambled eggs was cooked right. I paid $5.50 for my food, so it's a reasonable price. Fountain drinks refill is $.50 and a variety of drinks to pick from, there is also a snack rack. Breakfast is from morning till 11am. $5 minimum purchase if using debit/credit. Check them out and support local!
Discovered this AMAZING place about two years ago when I worked at the DCCA building and visit just about every week if not every other week. Love love love the garlic steak plate and I have gotten the spicy chicken poppers a couple times and have never, ever been disappointed. From the portions to the price, it’s perfect. now that I work off Ala Moana, I still make the trip to Alakea Steak, even if I have to walk because it is just that good to me. Definitely worth a try.
I work next door so my boyfriend gets us the steak breakfast plate pretty often lol. Hard working people, only 2 seniors, sometimes just 1 person working. Their steak… is the best compared to other steak plates I’ve had from more known places. Not only is it a hole in the wall but also affordable and fair!
