STRIPSTEAK Waikiki

The quality of the meat was top-notch—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender. You can tell they take their steak seriously here. The service was just as impressive: attentive, friendly, and on point without ever being overbearing. Every staff member made us feel welcome and taken care of. And the atmosphere? Elegant but relaxed, with a great vibe that made the whole evening feel special. Whether you’re celebrating something or just in the mood for a great meal, this place delivers on every level. Highly recommend—can’t wait to come back!

World Class Dining Experience, Phenomenal Flavors, the pinnacle of food in my opinion. The food was unbelievably delicious. The service was blown away as they consistently kept up with making sure you had the experience of a life time. Making sure you were always cared for in even the smallest detail possible. You would say it is unreal the experience. We had the 3 courses with an amazing flavors. Each dish made to perfection. By far the best service I ever received in dining experience

Let’s talk about it. This place is something amazing. The service is phenomenal and the food is high quality and cooked with care. Keola Is at the bar giving charm and professionalism, you will be in good hands. It’s another guy I only know as the professor (lol) and his customer service is amazing as well. You want to eat some mouth watering food and have a lil pocket change? This is the place for you. Don’t sleep on the 🍔 burger, it’s delicious 😋

We had a great dining experience here. The fries with the different sauces were was a nice surprise. My drink was beautiful and tasted good also.

Superb service, delicious food, well made drinks, and such great flavor pairings! The summer menu we just had was so yummy! I highly recommend the scallops carpaccio!!

Had an amazing experience for my birthday. Tory was our server and she provided excellent service. The food was delicious, we highly recommend the Wagyu and the chocolate cake. I’d definitely revisit when i return to Waikiki. Thank you, Stripsteak!

Had an amazing meal here. On the pricier side but was happy to pay the extra money for the increased experience, service, and exceptional food. Jeathera was our server. He was awesome! Highly recommend asking for him if you eat here!

It has now been two weeks since my boyfriend and I visited Stripsteak in Waikiki. We were only in Hawaii for a few days but our first experience here was so good we had to come back a second night. And it wasn't just the food that did it for us, it was the service too. Two weeks later and I still remember our server, Richard. He was simply the best, amusing conversation, quick service, and in one short night he made us feel so special and welcome we had to come back for a second where he introduced us to his very kind manager who's name I believe to be Bob. The second night was even more spectacular. Unbeknownst to us, they were featuring a specially curated four course meal crafted by Chef Michael Mina himself. This set menu was an incredible way to taste a variety of dishes served here. It was simply one of if not the best dining experience I have ever enjoyed. Everything was so decadent and flavourful and rich. My expectations were beyond exceeded, in cuisine, in atmosphere, and in service. I can not recommend this place enough!! Thank you to the staff here for making it such a magical experience!

My fiancé was looking for a sweet way to celebrate my birthday while we were on vacation and we landed at Stripsteak in Waikiki's International Marketplace. Needless to say, this was an absolutely incredible meal and such a spectacular way to ring in another trip around the sun! We arrived in the early weekday evening and found it easy to get seated in the outdoor area under a shady umbrella. We were first served complimentary fries - fresh, crispy and deliciously paired with a trio of sauces (Japanese Barbecue, Ketchup, and Truffle Mayo). Our server seemed a little unsure about drink recommendations but I ended up with a Riesling. For our meal, we selected the 16 oz. Washugyu Ribeye with sides of Garlic Fried Rice and Charred Broccolini. We also opted in for the trio of sauces (Bearnaise, Steak Sauce, and Chimichurri). This was hands down one of the best prepared meats I've ever had plus with the garlic fried rice - I was in heaven! Steak was juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection. Our favorite of the sauces was the chimichurri, it had a slight kick that was really savory. Bummed I didn't get a pic of everything but I don't think you can go wrong with anything here!

We came to StripSteak Hawaii for our anniversary dinner, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The vibe was on point--upscale but relaxed, with a lively yet intimate energy that made the evening feel special. We started with their signature duck fat fries, and they absolutely lived up to the hype--crispy, rich, and indulgent, with a trio of sauces that took them over the top. For our mains, I had the salmon, which was perfectly cooked with a beautiful sear and a tender, buttery center. My partner went all out with the triple-seared Japanese A5 wagyu--unreal. Melt-in-your-mouth quality and a true showstopper. To cap things off, we shared the 24K chocolate molten cake sundae. Yes, it's as extra as it sounds, and yes, you should absolutely get it. Decadent, rich, and Insta-worthy. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and every staff member made us feel like we were celebrating something special. Can't wait to come back!

CJ was so informative and helpful. He was very accommodating to my vegetarian needs. The service here is exceptional. There are so many staff and everyone is always watching to take care of your needs. We sat outside and it was beautiful. Not too hot, and there is plenty of shade. The lychee Lilikoi martini is delicious! Also had a lychee martini and it was perfect. Neither were too sweet. You are served fries her instead of bread, which is what I love!! CJ was wonderful and had mine prepared sans duck fat. The Caesar salad was excellent, I had it sans the tempura anchovy but my partner ate that and he loved it. My partner had the mina's tartare and he loved it. It was cool to have it prepared at the table too. He had the wagyushu for his main course and it was marbled with fat, had a perfect cook, and flavor. The cauliflower steak was delicious! I recommend the chimichurri sauce for it! Truffle Mac is a must! I love that they don't put breadcrumbs because it keeps it creamy. CJ made our experience so much more enjoyable, we can't wait to visit him again when we come back to Oahu!

We tried the tasting menu, it costs $135 per person. It's very casual, patio dining feel, with live music which was awesome. It's a lot of food, and not a bad deal for the amount of food you get. Your entire table needs to order the tasting menu. The dishes from the tasting menu are served family style. There were 4 courses. Appetizers, salad, entree and dessert. The crab cake, Caesar salad, truffle Mac were the standouts. The cocktails here are really good, but they're pricey starting at $19. The service here is very friendly and attentive.

Strip steak was phenomenal!! Sexy fun vibes and elegant dining experience. I ordered the Mai tai for my drink that was made really well the bartenders were amazing!! We sat at the bar since the view was amazing! For food I tried the poke tuna tacos and the cocktail shrimp that was sooo good!! Customer service was great !! And it was happy hour that had a great menu selection. I will come back here many times when I visit!!

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. I made a reservation online and noted the occasion--and wow, the staff truly went above and beyond! They wished him a happy birthday multiple times, surprised us with a handwritten card, and even brought out a complimentary coconut cake. Such a thoughtful touch! The entire staff was incredibly attentive, and we're sooo appreciative of the warm hospitality. Drinks: They offer a great selection of liquor, wine, and cocktails. My husband especially loved the Wild Turkey 70th Anniversary 8-Year--he highly recommends it if you're into bourbon! Food: Their menu features fresh, local-inspired dishes, and we were impressed. The truffle scallops were a highlight--savory with a nice citrusy finish. We, of course, came for the steak, which was cooked perfectly. It was a touch saltier than we prefer, but it actually paired well with the broccolini and mushrooms we ordered as sides. Overall, it's a classy spot that showcases delicious local flavors. We'd absolutely recommend it--whether you're celebrating something special or just want a great night out.

Fathers Day for the hubs from me and baby. I hate going to Waiks...but wanted to go someplace other than our typicals. Traf ridiculous...20 min late and surprised they didn't call me, but had no issues when I got there. Got our table...comfy cushions. We had a chair for baby, but waiter offered to bring a booster since maybe would fit better - we never saw that booster though. Think he forgot. Sitting and hubs kept getting whiffs of urine. Pretty sure someone relieved themself in the potters out there. I have allergies so luckily couldn't smell it...and yes, we checked baby to make sure wasn't the diaper. After a few drinks, it didn't bother hubs. Luckily for everyone it was him who smelled it, and not me... Water cup for baby. She was super stoked about the fries. And dipping sauces. Double dipped and probs really didn't eat that many fries. Overordered...and didn't finish anything except 1 pupu: - Truf Caesar - very tasty but not super truffley. - Shrimp Tempura - tempura batter is more that heavy okazu-ya kine rather than light Japanesey kine. Tasted good though. Head and tail on, so even better, but it's not in the description so people who don't like may be a little surprised. 1 sauce no taste, 1 sauce sooo goood. Baby liked. - Bacon - Very saucey. Couldn't really taste the pork. Scraped off sauce and baby ate some. Plan is to rinse off the leftovers and refry. - Hubs got the Trip Seared Wagyu - Was good. Too oil for me to eat that much of it though. Gave him a bunch of my steak since I was getting really full by then. - Bone in NY - A little overcooked. More medium that medium rare. But was good. Got that big one b/c I like dry-aged...didn't have enough of the skunky dry-aged taste for me though. - Whipped Pot - ohmagod that was so good. Baby liked too...so much it ended up on her forehead too. Saving for later I think. - Brussels - good but little oily and too saucy. - We all shared the cheesecake. Baby loooved it. I thought that was one of the better ones I had. NY taste, but not as heavy, but not as light as Japanese kine. - Hubs seemed to enjoy his drinks. He likes to try different when he goes out...enjoyed the mai tai. Baby was excited to see it b/c it was so pretty, but disappointed she couldn't have. I was DD so just a glass of wine. Our waiter was nice and did pretty good but not very engaged. What I think really needs to improve is the restrooms. They were a mess. 1 of them was so dark in the stall...I'm assuming that means it's especially dirty. You need to slam 1 door to get it closed, 1 door will open regardless of whether you close the lock or not. Not in line with our $800 dinner. It's also surprising that the other staff don't give you the time of day. One person did let me pass, but that was it. Manager guy (assume since he had Aloha shirt and not the suspenders outfit) looked miserable. Staff only nice to the ones tipping them? Overall a good night, b/c hubs and baby had fun. But it's the small details...

I was quite impressed with this place! Everything from the service, food and presentation was spot on! I also love how they give fries instead of bread and butter lol! For the appetizer we ordered the grand chilled seafood platter and then I got the diver scallop pasta as my main. I don't usually eat chilled seafood platters but this one was great! The seafood was fresh and the shrimp, crab and lobster were all nice and meaty (I don't eat oysters lol). My diver scallop pasta was delicious! Everything about it was just so good. The pasta was nice and al dente, scallops were cooked perfectly and the pesto had a bright fresh zesty flavor from the arugula and yuzu. I tried a bite or two of the steak with some mashed potatoes and the steak was so tender and the potatoes were so creamy and buttery! For dessert, I think we had the 24k chocolate molten cake sundae and that was the perfect way to end our meal! If you want to splurge on a fancy high end meal this is a place to check out!

We went there on weekday's early evening. It was empty when we got there, but pretty packed by the time we left. The staff were pretty attentive. The atmosphere wasn't so upscale and more casual. Mai Tai - I didn't like the crushed ice in it as it melted fast and made the drink watery. The drink was not as strong as expected. Guava Margarita - It was on a bit sweeter side, but was tasty and interesting. Complimentary French Fries - Duck fat and a hint of rosemary made these fries really good. Accompanied by three different sauces made it more enjoyable. Jumbo Lump Crabcake - It was smaller than I thought, but a strong Old Bay seasoning was kind of unique and tasty. Boiled Diver Scallops - It was good yet a bit bland for our liking. Washugyu Ribeye - The taste of meat and doneness were excellent. However, there was too much finishing salt and that kind of diminished the goodness of that. Charred Broccolini - It was a bit undercooked for our liking and also the sauce was insignificant. Garlic Fried Rice - This was delicious! A bit of Chinese seasoning and pork did it. Kona Dark Chocolate Layer Cake - There wasn't much dark chocolate and had more cream than expected. Overall, it was a good experience. I'd like to try the happy hour at the bar as well.

My first time at Stripsteak! We planned a company party here for about 30 people. It was held in the private dining room. We were able to reserve the room several months in advance and pick out the menu. Planning an event here was very easy. Stripsteak is located in the International marketplace in Waikiki. They do a partial validation for parking. Overall, the food was exceptional. Unique with an interesting take. We started out with fries, edamame, instant bacon, Ahi crudo,and a wedge salad. All served family style. For my main entrée I had the filet mignon. Steak was very good, and tender, although my steak was only slightly warm and not hot as would be expected. It's almost like it was cooked and then sat for a while before being served. Sides included, broccolini, roasted brussels sprouts, truffle mac & cheese, and whipped potatoes, all of which were delicious and served family style as well. For dessert we had the Kona dark chocolate layered cake. Service was attentive, but otherwise very slow. We had reserved the private dining room for three hours from 5 PM to 8 PM. The initial hour was for drinks and mingling with dinner to be served at 6 PM, however, dinner wasn't actually served until 7:30 PM. We were all pretty hungry by the time the food arrived. Kind of unusual since it was a set menu and they already knew what needed to be prepared in advance.

Came here on Father's Day and had an early reservation. Everything was very modern and had a great ambience! Staff was very friendly and greeted us as we walked in. Our server was very helpful and very knowledgeable. Our table enjoyed the foie gras and unagi risotto!!! Very great combination. We also like the Caesar with tempura anchovies! Our entrees we had the 30oz ribeye which was cooked perfectly! And the rack of lamb which was a table favorite. Also tried the macnut encrusted mahi which was light. Our sides we tried the truffle Mac n cheese and the whipped potatoes which was a hit. Overall a great experience and def need to come back to try the seafood tower!

The food here is always good and beautifully plated. The servers are always really kind and keep our glasses full. It's just a really chill beautiful place to eat. But this is a place for dates or special events. The prices can be pretty up there but I still recommend it

Did a staycation in Waikīkī for our anniversary/Valentine's Day. This was the perfect opportunity to try out Stripsteak, located in the International Marketplace. Our server Reynaldo was great & explained everything on and off the menu. He gave his personal suggestions and most popular recommendations. There was also a sommelier who came over to help us decide which wine we would have with our dinner. Both server and som were extremely helpful. Don't be afraid to ask them questions. We ordered the lamb and the 8oz filet for our entrees. It was recommended that the lamb be cooked medium well with a nice char & it came out perfect. My husband said it was the best lamb he's had from any restaurant! As for my filet it was nicely cooked to medium as well and I enjoyed each bite of it. We also ordered asparagus to share which we loved too. They serve complimentary garlic fries with dipping sauces before the meal so just know it's like their "bread service". Ample parking in the parking lot. Stripsteak has validation available if needed.

Recently sat at the bar with girlfriends...the service was terrific! We loved the fries, ahi rolls and instant bacon! And the drinks we had were delicious! Very professional seasoned bartenders there and compliments to Chef Elvis that Instant bacon was amazing! Such a beautiful restaurant and great service!

The food and service here is always on point. We recently stopped by for happy hour.. Happy hour is daily from 4pm to 6pm in the bar area. Their bar area is actually a pretty decent size. We got the 3 piece pacific oysters $12, holo holo burger and fries $21 and a calamansi bliss $15. The oysters that we were served were the kusshi oysters. They were huge, plump and fresh. They were delicious. The burger was cooked perfectly medium and was good. The calamansi bliss was a non alcoholic drink. It was refreshing and had a fizz to it. The service was exceptional. The waiters kept checking on us and kept the water glasses full. They packed my leftovers for me to take home.

Late review as we ate here about a week ago for the first time in a staycation over the weekend. We made reservations for dinner. The restaurant did get packed so I recommend making reservations for your party no matter the size. This place is pricy and I find appropriate for food made by a celebrity chef. It was similar to Gordon Ramsay prices in Las Vegas. Service was excellent. The hostess, whose name I forgot to get, got us seated quickly. Our server Jeat, was very attentive and knew the menu well even recommending personal favorites when we had a hard time deciding. He was very attentive when I brought up food allergies and steered us away from things with those sort of ingredients. We also had Kyle and Justin come by our table to take dishes, deliver dishes, and top up our water. There was not a moment my glass of water was empty and was refilled quickly and sometimes without me noticing. These guys were great. We ordered instant bacon and hamachi taco for appetizers. Our entrees were the 16 oz washugyu ribeye and a jidori chicken. The fries were a starter that came out with drinks in 3 sauces. These were some of the best fries I've ever had. If there is anything I regret, it's not ordering 3 plates of the instant bacon. This was the favorite dish of ours and we just keep thinking about it one week later. I consider this a must try if you come here for the first time. The tacos were also great and flavorful. I liked the creative use of the nori as it was made crispy and the taco shell. Delightful to eat. The washugyu ribeye was very well seasoned. It did get hard for me to eat towards the end as I didn't pair it with a sauce. The last bites were super salty but I can't complain so much as other steaks I've had weren't seasoned as well as this. Yhe jidori chicken was very flavorful and juicy. The molten cake for dessert was light and a great dessert. You can't really beat the hot and cold combo of this dessert and it's a dessert i would go for on most dessert menus. Though the basque cheesecake was calling me too. Overall we enjoyed this restaurant so much we plan to eat here again for our anniversary later in the year!

Happy hour experience! 4pm to 6 pm, Stripsteak offers a food heavy menu of some smaller tastes from their regular menu experience. If you want a taste but either don't have enough appetite or coin to do the full Stripsteak dining, try this. I believe it's bar area only, come early as does fill up. Kudos to the bar tenders who provide warm hospitality along with award winning service!

Went to Stripsteak at the International Marketplace...to celebrate our anniversary with friends and family. The food was a bit too salty. We ordered the Instant Bacon which was really tasty, but a bit too hard. We also ordered the Hot Rock Wagu which was very nice, we each had one 2 inch square piece...there was 5 of us. We also had the hamachi sashimi which was very nice. For our main dish we ordered the surf and turf which my husband and I shared and we also shared a chop chop salad. The salad was nice but a bit bland. The surk and turf came with asparagus spears. The lobster was nice as was the steak, but the asparagus was a bit salty. We also tried the fries....again too salty. We also ordered the garlic fried rice.....which i really liked. I would have liked it more had it come at the same time as our surf and turf, it came late. Also it took a long time to get our water filled and to get two orders of diet coke. They served us a slice of layered shite cake to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The case was nice.the whole experience was different. This restaurant is pricey...the appetizers are great for 2 so are the salads.....but entrees should serve only one....two was stretching it.

Classy restaurant for those with a large budget conveniently located in the International Marketplace. This would be a great place to come for dinner when on a business trip. There is a room you can reserve for large parties. Waiters are so kind and dressed well. Huge shoutout to our waiter Brian who took great care of us. Brian was attentive being present whenever our food was brought out to make sure we were pleased. He made us laugh and kept our glasses full thank you Brian! The restaurant is ADA accessible. The bathroom in this restaurant smells amazing and was clean. Music in the restaurant was not a good match for the ambiance. Jazz would have been a better fit. We liked the size of the table giving us enough space for our food and drinks without feeling cramped. Appetizers Ahi tuna and Egyptian falafel The toppings remind us of shaloha (Mediterranean food). Interesting and delicious combination. Oysters on happy hour menu were small but tasty. Preferred the fire sauce over the Lilikoi. Entrees 8oz center cut Filet was a little disappointing and did not melt in my mouth like it typically does at other steakhouses. We did enjoy the sea salt on one side that enhanced the flavors on my tongue. Broccolini was fibrous. The whipped potato was quite buttery. Ahi belly tempura was by far best dish we enjoyed at Stripsteak. It melts in your mouth with the tempura perfectly fried without too much batter. It balanced sweet, sour, and spicy without overwhelming the senses. We would come back just to order this dish. Dessert Mango sorbet was light and refreshing. It prompted vivid memories of enjoying the honey mango in Thailand. It is a nice choice to end the meal. Drinks We tried the happy hour lychee mule, old fashioned, and the sake. Our favorite was the sake. The presentation by our waiter Brian was beautiful poured into a glass overtopping into a box. I wish I had gotten it on video. The sake itself was delicious and a little sweet. Parking We parked in the International Marketplace parking garage. Bring your parking ticket to the restaurant to get validated. Upon exit the parking fee was $2.

Our service from Euyen (sorry if I spelled it wrong!) and Kyle was exceptional. There was live music by Dustin Park who is a local musician, so perfect for the setting. I arrived for the YELP Elite event and three course meal. This was my first Hawaii Yelp dining reservation. The was a little wonderful and little less than great but overall it was a 4 star for food and service. We had an older non local couple that told me "I have real issues with my kids" after I used the ladies room and didn't take my 2 year old and she cried for a minute and calmed down before I got back. Her husband looks like Santa though so not sure if Mrs. Clause is just salty I had kids and it wasn't Christmas yet. I brought my party of 7 including my husband (who unfortunately ate a giant lunch and only had a mojito, not dinner while here). I upgraded to the filet which would have always been my top choice. The mashed potatoes were a prized success. Perfection. My middle son said he thought my mashed potatoes were good but these were top notch and I agree. Probably the "best I've evah had!" (Boston official accent strong). The broccolini was perfectly cooked. The sauce, not sure what it was now that I remember the tastes but it was delicious. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The kids burgers were a decent portion and affordable for this higher end establishment. I'd go again but maybe sit down for happy hour or on the patio. The inside vibes was more tourist than local and I don't want to feel like the tourists are more important than the rest. Santa specials and all. The ahi falafel was not my favorite. The ahi was tender and I enjoyed its tenderness but it combined with the falafel was not a hit. I love a good falafel and this was not it. I ate the cheese cake at home and it was good. Nothing spectacular but I would eat it again. The Mai tai did not taste like a Mai tai. For the price, I expected flavor. This tasted.. More like vodka? My husband said his mojito was good though.

Happy hour foods are very nice! Not too salty and very delicious. People are very nice, and definitely liked the atmosphere in the bar area. Highly recommended!

Came here last night with some friends for a birthday dinner. We loved the ambiance and vibes Location: in the international marketplace. Park in there too and the restaurant will give you validation so parking is free. Food: food was good. I ate the mahi mahi and it was 8/10. We also ordered a bunch of sides: truffle Mac was soo good. Def recommend. Broccolini was also good along w the Brussel sprouts. But the Garlic fried rice was mid imo. Service: was overall good. We waited for our food menu for a little but other than that the service was great. Will definitely be back!

Wow. Very good steak here , cooked to perfection. Very nicely friendly staff here as well. The inside are super clean and nice. Parking is very easy to find as well.

Stripsteak was a great experience with great ambiance and food. If you want a very upscale and pricey meal that's sure to knock your socks off, give it a go! FOOD: we tried an assortment of appetizers (salad, shrimp cocktail, and a fish roll that I can't quite recall what it was) and a main (a white fish-- I believe halibut). The dishes were served with a French fry appetizer which was a nice touch. The food was beautiful and tasted great-- no complaints. AMBIANCE: it was very upscale ambiance (though outdoors and in the center of an outdoor mall). However the mall was beautiful. There was live music. Volume was moderate/loud. SERVICE: service was great. Didn't exceed expectation but was very good.

The steaks and serve was absolutely amazing. Quality of food was excellent and so was the service therefore I didn't mind paying the $150/per person bill for our group. The ahi tuna rolls were THE BEST I have ever had. Local caught ahi tuna(yellowfin tuna) is by far the best in Hawaii compared to anywhere else because of the local waters and diet of the tuna here. Highly recommend coming here even though it's in a mall the ambience and setting is worth it.

WTF?!? I'm a Michael Mina fanboy. I've eaten at his namesake Michael Mina at the Bellagio 30+ times not counting several lobster pot pies delivered to the poker room. StripSteak Vegas 40+ times. Hawaii's Fishhouse 50+. Even the brand new Orla in Vegas where I meet the CEO of the Mina group. The evolution of StripSteak Waikiki (where I've visited 30+ times becoming worse and worse each time) is nothing short of depressing. What steakhouse has sushi and sake? Do we only care about Japanese tourists who are NOT coming to the US ATM? 1. $17 for a piece of non sashimi grade salmon with sinew sat in a super sweet kabayaki sauce. Obliterates the salmon's flavor. Utterly disgusting. 2. Steak tartare in so much lime juice it is soupy. Revolting. 3. Extremely salty crab cake with no crust therefore no texture. Easily the worst crabcake I've eaten in a steakhouse. 4. The duck fat fries, double salted? Inedible. 5. Ahi belly tempura was good albeit oily and would have been perfect with two scoops rice and a scoop of mac salad but this isn't a plate lunch joint. Service is the highlight and goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Bar staff is extremely friendly and have created some great cocktails and serve wines at a great value. The HH old fashioned is good with its hints of cinnamon. Good wine list with lots of inexpensive hidden gems. Food prices are out of line. Either go all in on quality and uniqueness at a higher price point or don't and keep prices in line with your competition. Want to be unique? Offer Niihau rack of lamb, Lanai venison, Pono Provisions pork, grass fed/ finished beef from Parker Ranch, or how about a to die for Hawaiian red snapper (onaga) like you do at Orla? Visitors want a "Hawaiian experience". Locals, a consistently good experience worthy of special occasions and celebrations. Trying to be as constructive as possible with this review but honestly, I wouldn't recommend or return until the chef is replaced and this silly idea of serving poor quality sushi goes away.

My husband and I went here for a nice steak dinner on one of our days on our honeymoon back in Sept 2024. We originally walked around and tried going to another steak restaurant a few blocks away and were denied entry for having shorts/tank top attire. When we continued walking and searching for other steak restaurants and came to Stripsteak, they gladly accepted our attire to come dine in. They weren't too crowded as we dined in around 4pm (which was 7pm in California), but they seated us in our own section away for the other tables for privacy. The place was not too loud nor quiet, but just the right amount of noise level. Lighting was mood, but bright enough to read the menu, especially with the sun still out. The service and waiters were very kind and so professional. They served us the most amazing sparkling water we ever tasted and to this day, I want to figure out what brand it is and if I can buy it in California! The portions of every meal were huge and flavors of every dish were tasteful. Ordering a side of rice and mushroom portion size was way bigger than I expected. This was a special honeymoon meal that we splurged on and knew it was going to be very expensive and ended up being between $650-$680 including our alcoholic drinks, sodas, and appetizers, meal, desserts, and tip. Overall, we would love to come back if we visit this island again in the future.

StripSteak Honolulu delivered on every level. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional--friendly, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere is upscale yet welcoming, perfect for a special night out. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, and the sides and cocktails were just as impressive.

I've been to Stripsteak a couple of times and have been wowed by the food quality. Both times we got the Ohana Tasting Menu and that is absolutely the way to go! You get all the best dishes to share (see photos) and will certainly leave veryyy full and super satisfied. I dream of the truffle mac... so yummy! But seriously, everyone left loving the meal. The service was very attentive and helpful. The overall vibe is fancy but comfortable, a perfect date night or special occasion spot. They do validate parking in the international marketplace parking lot which is fantastic in busy Waikiki. Downsides include the high price tag and I was somewhat disappointed with the cocktails. Overall, it is definitely pricey, but the food quality is worth it! I for sure plan to come back to try their happy hour!

Stunning restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating options. Our party of five arrived on a Sunday evening without a reservation, and we were fortunate to be seated immediately and at a great big booth. I love how accommodating the staff were, especially since we had three small children. The kids menu offered a variety of items at very reasonable price points. Overall, some of the dishes were delicious and some of them could have used more seasoning. Tuna tartare- 10/10 Pork belly/bacon appetizer- 9/10 Lamb Chops- 8/10 (great quality, but could've used more seasoning or a sauce) Mashed Potatoes- 7/10 (would've been a 10 out of 10 with more butter and seasoning) 3 Day Bender Cocktail- 10/10 (smoky and delicious) Kids Garlic Fried Rice- 5/10 (very mid) Kids Burger- 10/10

,no reservations needed. We walked in was seated for an early dinner. Went for the chefs tasting menu. Everything was delicious. The one thing I will say is pass on the fried rice and eat your calories on something else ; not that it wasn't great- just basic. There's a choice between indoor and outdoors, eating, and seat in the house is great.

Solid steakhouse in a local setting. Took my Mom here for her birthday last night and it was a truly special time. Being all of our first times there, I called prior to mention the special occasion trusting guidance on what table was best...they nailed it. The staff really took care of us and I loved the little touches like the staff-signed birthday card...my Mom was all smiles all night (and that's not easy!) Shout out to the manager who answered my call and CJ our server who was excellent. Warm, welcoming, balanced with his kind and friendly attention/demeanor. Cocktails (that Trader Vic's Mai Tai means business for sure!) and mocktails were solid and the wines I had all spot-on. For our party of 3 we split the almost-perfectly cooked 20oz ribeye with 3 sides (+broiled king crab) as an entree. Started with the ahi tuna crudo 'roll,' A5 wagyu appetizer and caesar salad and ended with the grilled pineapple foster. Big 'production' choices with the wagyu app and dessert, which were both fun to watch. Pros -Ambiance, service, overall execution -Li'l bonus treat of fries with 3 dipping sauces was a fun surprise starter -Live music: the most relaxed, fun covers by Ethan I think was his name? -Seating: all open-air but both indoor and outdoor had different vibes depending on your taste -Caesar salad: great crisp leaves with just the right amount of dressing; interesting tempura anchovy filet additions -Ribeye: so tasty, med rare was well executed, just the ends were well done. Cons -Ahi tuna crudo 'rolls': quite dressed (and is it just me being a snoot or is this sort of 'modern Japanese' execution of drizzling sashimi with ponzu-base, add sliver of jalapeno, etc. a bit tired?) -Broiled king crab: we like our crab quite basic so asked for the miso butter on the side- still came overly salted- all 3 of us noticed it, to the point where it was hard to take down without making a face. Call-outs -A5 Wagyu appetizer is quite pricey ($65, 4 paper-thin slices) but more for production and accoutrements -Every steakhouse has its renditions; here: mushrooms are glazed with sweet Asian shoyu sauce; mac and cheese are mini elbows, non-gooey and tasty; whipped potatoes are smooth as butter- we got them loaded so they moved to a very dense state as soon as they cooled (so eat these fast). A memorable time regardless, and spent a pretty penny here but was definitely a special occasion to remember.

My husband's steak was way too spicy and not piping hot like he likes it. My salmon was undercooked. We didn't say anything because what's the point? We are here on vacation. The best part was the garlic fries they serve instead of bread and butter. Everything is a la cart. Service was excellent.

What a wonderful experience and meal! We decided to celebrate our anniversary here and they brought us a signed card, and an anniversary dessert. We did the Caesar, hamachi tacos, new York strip steak, and the wagyu strip steak. Everything was phenomenal and cooked to perfection.

This was my first time at Strip Steals in Honolulu and I was pleasantly surprised by my dining experience. The service was top notch from start to finish. We ordered the 20oz ribeye to share, which I thought was a little on the lean side based on the wait staff's recommendation. We also ordered a side of mushrooms And Brussels sprouts to pair with our ribeye. The sprouts were very quite delicious with its sweetness and slight bitterness. While the ambiance was relaxing, our seating was not the most ideal spot as we were seated right next to the wait staff's work table and constantly heard the employees conversing loudly right behind our heads.

Had our last meal on Oahu at Stripsteak. To call it expensive is an understatement! It's ridiculously expensive! But, the food was very, very good. I had the Miso sea bass and my husband had a filet. Both were very tasty and my husband had nothing but praise for his steak. The duck fat fries that they serve as a nibble before the meal, instead of bread, were a nice change from the ordinary. We had the Pineapple Foster (an island take on bananas foster). It was good, but something was missing. Can't quite put my finger on it though. The only thing I can complain about was our server. He was very nice and quite accommodating, but seemed to be trying to hard to please. It was a bit off putting.

Will start by saying everything in Waikiki is overpriced but this place is a joke. Food here was overpriced and candidly very mid. (Filet was overcooked) No one in our dining party was impressed That said ambience and service was very good but by no means make up for the food nor price. If we are ever in Waikiki again will NOT be going here.

Our family friend Mai and Cherly took us here for our dinner. Apparently they just are famous as every server came up to say hi, congratulate us, and greet them. The wine sommelier was excellent at pairings for appetizers, dinner, and the dessert offered. Overall ambience felt quite calming and relaxing. Plenty of good music playing and friendly service staff. Drinks were on par, only thing Mai and I agreed on was the steak was a little tough, however we were told it was a new vendor. Wagyu hot stone appetizer is so worth it. Having the server do it was so fun

This was honestly one of the best restaurants I have ever been to! Firstly, the food was nothing short of AMAZING. Literally, every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. The customer service here was out of this world! Our server, Jet, was such a sweetheart. He made sure everything was to our satisfaction and he was so patient with us, he explained all the food items on the menu and his top favorites, giving us the best food recommendations based on what we liked which turned out to be one of the most delicious meals we've ever eaten. He was so kind and welcoming, and he even threw in a complimentary dessert for my husband as we were there celebrating his birthday. Thank you Jet for making our experience here so special, we felt loved and valued.

STRIP STEAK special Christmas Menu is always the best. Really wanted to get the caviar and try the pre fixe menu since that looked so tasty. Opted for the caviar , and the macadamia crusted mahi mahi (one of my favs) since it was just me. The caviar was very fresh, I loved the shallot, creme fraiche, egg whites with yolks and chives. I'm used to having caviar with blinis but the small toasts were really good. The mahi mahi is a top fav of mine. Whenever I come with friends we'll usually get a steak and the mahi mahi or sea bass to share. The fish dishes here are a must! The sauces are just too good to miss out on. I like sitting at the bar when going to a restaurant by myself, the bartenders were very attentive and personable even on such a busy night. The Christmas vibes were perfect and made my day much better since I spent it alone. Definitely will be back. Strip steak is one of my favorite special occasion restaurants for dinner.

One of the best HH in Waikiki. 4-6p High quality wild shrimp cocktail Best Hamburger w/ duck fat fries Pork Bao Steak tartar bites. Everything was great! Validated parking.

We love Chef Michael Mina's restaurant Bourbon Steak in Glendale and International Smoke in SF. So I Was excited to find this place to treat my hubby for Father's Day. And this place did not disappoint. Exceptional service from Brian! He's so nice professional courteous and knowledgeable of the food and cocktails and wine. Steak and lobster were on point. Love they give fries instead of bread. Caesar Salad and broccolini were good. The only thing not good was the whipped potato - watery and bland. When Brian asked us how things were, we told him everything was good except the potato and he was kind enough to remove it from our bill. Restaurant was very nice. Highly recommended! Thanks Brian for a superb experience at Chef Michael Mina's restaurant.

I appreciate the ease of using the OpenTable app to make / modify / or cancel a reservation here at Stripsteak, so kudos to whoever decides to allow such things to occur as many establishments either do not offer reservations or one must call over the phone to reserve. I like Michael Mina, I don't know why really but I'm guessing it's based on my experience at two of his restaurants here in O'ahu - one being Stripsteak and the other being Mina's Fish House. For this visit we chose to start with Dashi-Poached Shrimp Cocktail ($28); the Truffled Caesar Salad ($20); and the Chop Chop Wedge Salad ($24). Shrimp cocktail had an 'alcoholic' taste to it. We've ordered this before on prior visits and I don't recall that flavor. The order comes with 5 large pieces of shrimp along with a wasabi cocktail sauce and regular cocktail sauce. Truffle Caesar salad was delicious but only have 6 romaine leafs which to me seemed a bit on the smaller side. Good flavor and the tempura white anchovy is delicious!! The chop chop wedge salad is exactly as described - a wedge salad that's been chopped! The usually toppings are included: bacon, egg, tomato, red onions, and blue cheese. The buttermilk ranch dressing is better than most and the salad to dressing ratio was purrrrfect. For entrees we chose the 8oz center cut filet mignon ($77) and the Macadamia-Crusted Mahi Mahi ($49) along with the Whipped Potatoes ($17) and the Black Truffle Mac and Cheese ($23). The filet mignon is our go to cut at practically all steakhouses and this one served here at Stripsteak is our favorite of all the steakhouses on island! We've been to like 4 other places (Little Joe's; Hy's., etc) and Stripsteak is our favorite 'fancy steakhouse' meal! Filet was prepared perfectly as requested, medium, and is seasoned nicely. Mac-nut crusted Mahi is delectable - cooked to perfection with a firm texture and moist! The piece of Mahi sits on top a Honshimeji Mushroom Sam's Beurre Blanc and that flavor of earthy notes mixed with this umami'ness is heavenly. Whipped potatoes are perfectly whipped and the Mac and cheese is sorta smoky/nutty with a 'horseradish / wasabi' ish' taste - fricken amazing! Overall, the reason for 4 vs 5 stars is the wait time for getting our order in, and receiving our beverages (soda syrup to carbonation mixture was off plus it tasted as if our soda sat for a bit and the ice melted thus resulting in a diluted drink), and waiting from ordering to actually receiving our food items. Staff was friendly and did have to apologize for the wait on behalf of the chef but when you're paying $400+ for a meal you kinda don't want to wait 15+mins for beverages! We'd come back but probably not on a weekend as a weekday may provide less crowds thus less wait times.

I enjoyed Stripsteak. Parking is plentiful and they validate. Be sure to ask for the Kamaina parking, which is 4hrs. I really enjoyed the oysters, and their drink specials. Lots of happy hour deals. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. The garlic fired rice was on point. We had the ahi falafel and it tasted good as well. Very tasty, we'll be back. Hope this helps. Aloooooooha and happy eating.

If you're looking for a nice dry steak or seafood, this is definitely the place to go. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Whether you are at the bar or at or a table, all the seats are extremely comfortable and designed for you to dine and enjoy your dinner. Lastly, it is quite enough for and intimate evening, but the noise volume is high enough to where you feel as though you are in a very popular place to relax and enjoy dinner. I have been here several times over the last year. Highly recommend!

Wine and dine in paradise... You'll find this joint on the 3rd floor of the mall, their an elevator on the right incase you don't want to use the escalator. Once you walked in, the hostess greets you right away. I suggest you make reservations or come in early. The ambiance is just right for a date or just hanging out. Our waiter came right away once seated. He offered suggestions on everything since this is our first time. We ordered, and everything came out before we knew it. The first bite of the steak was so delicious, reminds me of Mastros :) All in all, this one should be on your list when you visit. Great food, classy and all the rest. You know the saying "Aloha and mahalo" until we meet again :)

Love, Love, Love 10/10! I absolutely loved everything about this place. The steaks were amazing and smooth like butter. The best steaks I ever had in my life! Not one piece of steak will be in your teeth after you eat. The drinks were super delicious and perfect. The Mac n Cheese you will not want to stop eating. There was live musicians at night. I had reservations just in case it was packed. When making reservations if you want to be by live musicians let them know. I didn't know so I wasn't next to it. The decor is elegant and sophisticated. I highly recommend dressing up. Great for celebrations. There were several servers. One bringing the hors d'oeuvres, one bringing the drinks and one main server for orders. Which the main server was super knowledgeable about the menu and taste. One would think he tried everything and memorized the menu. They were amazing from start to finish. Great job team you all nailed it! It is located in the International Market Place. You can park in the International Market Place garage and take the elevator to it. Once off elevator walk down and it's on your left. I'm not sure if they validate parking here. I took a Uber. I will find out next time I go. As you can tell I definitely will be returning!

Had the great opportunity to come here for the first time. It's been here for years, but I always am hesitant to come into Waikiki as a local... Greeting at the front by the hostess who accommodated the seating to the outside area rather than the bar. Happy hour (4-6 pm) have a good choice of various items. To start off with we had the lychee martini and an old fashioned. Let me tell you, my stomach was burning from the first sip of old fashioned and not in a bad way. This is what I have to say is that the alcohol wasn't lacking and I'm glad because at $10 a drink, I don't want watered down drinks. They hit well and tasted great. Impressed ice logo and cube on my old fashioned. (I like finishing touches) We had some belly bao (it's one per order), shrimp cocktail, and my Yelp meal came with a choice of salad. The belly bao was tasty, the only complaint I might have was the pork wasn't soft soft, but soft enough. However the flavor and the bun were soft. My yuzu dressing on my salad popped and was so refreshing. I had asked if they sell this but didn't get a response but jt was a delicious dressing!! the jumbo shrimp were jumbo and had a nice meaty texture to them. Appetizers were delicious. Moving on, my choice for my yelp dinner was the New York steak with charred broccolini and mashed potato. Also ordered was the burger and fries! Great price point on this. my plate came and everything was perfect. The meat, vegetable and potato were all seasoned perfectly. Broccolini wasn't mushy and mash was tasty. The burger was delicious too but my complaint on that was the cheese choice. Possibly upgrade the choice of cheese. tasty nonetheless. Fries were delicious. Dessert was a basque cheesecake with a compote of fresh fruit. By the time dessert came I was so full but it was delicious. Service is impeccable. From management, servers, to bussers, all great and friendly. As a local, they offer a Kama'aina parking sticker. You get 4 hours to stay in the mall or waikiki and it's free. Cannot beat that!! All in all it was a five star experience. Thank you!

Ambiance 5/5 Service 5/5 Food presentation 5/5 Food execution 4/5 Drinks 4/5 Staff was great, but once food was ordered, server only checked in maybe 2. But busser was on top of it. The ahi crudo was delicious 5/5, would recommend. The pork belly was on the sweeter side. Hoisin flavor if you like it. Was tender and soft. Wedge salad was good nothing amazing. We ordered the truffle mac and cheese which was delicious. The Brussels were delicious and charred broccolini was ok. Lacked a bit of flavor. Steak was cooked perfectly and we got the trio of sauces. Pineapple flambé was a great presentation and different from your usual flambé. Loved the haupia ice cream that it came with. We celebrated birthday and they were very attentive from greeting to writing a note and then sending out a coconut cake. It was light and fluffy and delicious. I haven't had any coconut cake like Mamas Fish House that have compared to it but this was yummy. Would recommend for a celebration or nice date night. If you like Michael Mina, this did not disappoint.
