The staff were nice, and the food is good. This restaurant is much cheaper than many others, but the standard was surprisingly good. More

What a great experience. I was a bit nervous as I have never had to cook my own food - but what a great experience. The waiter was GREAT! Very helpful and gave me a great introduction. Also, checked on me several times to ensure I knew what I was doing. The food was great and despite being a solo... More

We happened upon this restaurant in Waikiki near our hotel. The foods come to the table raw, and you cooked your own items on the grill built into the table. We went during Happy Hour on a Thursday, so it was not too crowded and the prices were good (Our bill was $44.71, including tip!). We had an assortment of... More

This is a 'do it yourself' BBQ restaurant which provides a great dining experience. We went as a family with a couple of teenagers who can get bored at restaurants - but not here! We chose the skirt steak, garlic prawns and the butter fish. All were surperb! If you are not sure the waitress was more than happy to... More

We had their lunch combo then we ordered a few more beef as add on. The food is decent, the meat are good but the more expensive ones are better... What made it better are the sauces which I think made the meat better tasting. We were lucky that during our lunch there were a lot of spaces available. Normally... More

I had a very pleasant dinner, made especially enjoyable by the excellent and attentive service staff. They can make the difference as you may need advise /help with the menu and the preparation of your meal; this is one of the "prepare your own food" style places. The menu selection is extensive, the happy hour specials - before 6:30 and... More

The food and the experience were well worth it. Make reservations so you don't have to wait. Very tasty. We splurged on the kobe beef. It melted in your mouth. Drinks were kind of pricey but they have happy hour twice a night. More

It took a long time to wait (at least 35 minutes), not because of being popular but because of few servers.You will have to wait at least half hour even you have a reservation. More
