Kai Poke - Honolulu

Not enough stars to give!!! We just fall into this restaurant. We made reservations to another (Herringbone Waikiki we were not priority regardless of the reservation. So we went and land in this restaurant and ask why?! The last time we came here, it was closed. We were happy to know that there was no waiting time, we were welcomed by a very professional and nurturing hostess. In less than 5 minutes and amazed at the fact that they have different servers to accommodate you, and everyone was kind, courteous and with the food they serve, regardless of who you ask. Note #1 You must be willing to spend some money, but your experience and atmosphere fit the bill. Note #2 Food Standard is A . It is not an expensive restaurant with cheap taste and carefree preparation. It is an expensive restaurant that gives you the appropriate amount for the price and you can see the care and pride that they put in their food and taste. Note #3 Our bill was $498. some cents (not including tips, but not a meal disappoints us. To cook the free 3 spiced pommes, one in truffle oil match w/truffle aioli, ask for extra to take home!, a boiled in duck fat, and the last with furikake. (Sorry stole the image of someone else coz we ate it all before we can make a picture. Also ordered immediately bacon for appetizer (kinda stole that picture too a little too sweet for us, although Thai coconut curry soup (perfect and tasty, I wanted a larger bowl, and the salad (not too special, but the dressing was delicious (the pix too, but it looked exactly like that). Note #4 See the rest of the pictures we have made before we ate it.(not stolen from other everything was perfectly boiled, the atmosphere and our experience was great. We'll be back.

Best restaurant in Hawaii, maybe even the whole US. The staff was incredible. I mentioned that I preferred warm seafood starters to cold ones, so the chef made a special app just for us which was amazing. (Pictured). The drunken lobster is a must have. We also had the a5 wagyu starter which is seared tableside and the famous Micheal Mina tartar which is made from tuna sources at the Honolulu fish market. SO GOOD! I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but the presentation and taste on the pineapple fosters was really good. The wine list doesn’t have as much age as I’d love in general, but it is quite extensive. The sommelier helped me find a bottle that paired well with the fish and steak entrees.

One of the best steak houses on island for suuure! go for happy hour to get a taste of the food, that way you try a kaleidoscope of menu items! the duck fat fries are sooooo bomb asf and the tako kushiyaki was literally like lobster! Crunchy ono on the outside and lobster juicy on da inside, never had in my life like this the strip steak was crazy fire! Juicy perfectly cooked all around Compliments to you my dear chef!

I had an incredible experience at Stripsteak Waikiki! My partner and I chose to celebrate our anniversary there, and the staff went above and beyond to make it truly special. Right from the start, they surprised us with a signed card from the entire front-of-house team and treated us to a complimentary tasting appetizer. The food was outstanding, and the steak was cooked to perfection (I apologize for not taking a photo; I was too excited!). Everyone worked together seamlessly, and their unique strengths contributed to a wonderfully enjoyable experience. The desserts were also fantastic, and we were thrilled to receive a complimentary cutting of a birthday cake. Overall, the combination of exquisite food, exceptional service, and thoughtful touches made this a memorable occasion for my partner and me. A huge thank you to the team at Stripsteak!

We attended the New Year’s Eve dinner featuring a 3 or 4 course meal, and it exceeded our expectations. The portion sizes were incredibly generous, and we left feeling completely satisfied with leftovers to take home. The service was outstanding; each course was served at just the right time, and the drinks were also promptly delivered. The atmosphere was very clean and had a great vibe. We will definitely be returning!
