Hi Steaks Ka Makana Ali'i - Honolulu

While I love Shitorokiya?s many dining options, when I want great steak in a fast casual setting at Ala Moana, I head to Foodland for this location of HI Steaks. The steaks are on the rare side, which is how I like them, and incredibly flavorful. The portions are generous, and you can create your own plate if none of the combinations appeal to your taste buds that day. If you?re not starving, you could easily share a combo plate. On my most recent visit, I was traveling solo and didn?t want to carry leftovers so I just asked for one scoop fries rice and 1/4 lb of steak. The bowl and a soda cost about $12 and I was satisfyingly full with the meal. Don?t forget to get one of the sauces I?m a fan of the horseradish one, it?s pretty mild and won?t make your eyes water. Also love the spacious seating area nearby very convenient when you need a break from power shopping!

Meatloaf LocoMoco was pretty good. Kimchee coleslaw was okay, too spicy for me tho. Truffle fries was good also. They use shoestring fries.

Ordered four different plates, steak was awesome, can do with seasoning the steak instead of just giving garlic butter on the side, but the cook was perfect, soft, tender, so delicious as far as the cut and cook were. Shrimp was bland, needs salt, and we should have added the extra garlic butter probably. Kimchee slaw didn't have enough kimchee flavor, maybe just spicy slaw? Garlic chicken was good, probably better if eaten fresh, as it is deep fried. Still good though. Overall not too bad of an experience, would totally just only order steak from here, as that is their specialty. Had it delivered and couldn't eat it right away, so I can't comment on the temp of the food itself, but the steak never got overcooked when it just sat, so I guess it wasn't super hot when it came to me. I am far enough away to understand that it's cooled off.

Had a Friday special, Aloha Steak Poke Bowl for $12.... Nothing specially good nor bad, food was what it was but the steak meat was decent. I asked for spicy sauce, you know for being a Korean, haha, but it wasn't spicy at all, even by American standards. The service wasn't great neither, not friendly, kind of rude, a sub-standard even for fast food place.... Update: This time I tried the Loco Moco, and it was delicious!!!! Don't let the dark color of the gravy scare you, it's actually pretty good, kind of Korean jjajang sauce. I would have liked the hamburger steak as medium-rare but it was well-done. Still, I upgrade to 4-star after today's visit.

Very secret place hard to find and they give 0 information about where they located. They should change the Stupid name on google map to Hi steaks Food land not Ala Moana. Toke me a long time to find this place to pick up order.
