Alakea Steak

Located right at the corner or King and Alakea i think this is a great spot to grab a bite to eat! Since they're so close to downtown their line can get kind of long so best to go before noon or after 1 to avoid the lunch rush.I really enjoy grabbing their fried saimin and steak combo! Their portions are good and although the price has gone up over the years i still think it's worth it. If you aren't a huge eater their plate can easily replace two meals. Since covid there isn't any dine in which is okay, it was only really counter seating anyway and that got taken up fast and it got crowded when a lot of people were ordering/waiting for food.I see a lot of breakfast options on their menu just never around during breakfast time to grab anything...not that there is anything wrong with breakfast food in the afternoon! Just not what i prefer for lunch.

I work next door so me and boyfriend get 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!

Great service. Tasty food. I always get the wingding and am always very satisfied. If planning on going during lunch, recommend calling because sometimes it gets busy

Downtown Honolulu food that hits the spot and is easy on the wallet! Downtown employees, take note!I used to work in Downtown, and the thing I miss most about working in Downtown (besides carpooling with my hubby) is the choke AMAZING lunch options. Alakea Steak is one of those spots I miss. My usual order is the fried saimin with garlic steak. This plate's not even $10, and it holds me over two meals. I would call in my lunch from my office, order with the kind Korean uncle, then walk over to the restaurant while they're making my garlic steak saimin. Straightforward, but oh so yummy and inexpensive. The restaurant is straightforward too as the inside is pretty small with little seating.

Stopped by for lunch. Got the large steak with all toss salad. I was quite hungry and to be honest a large was not that large. Had I gotten a regular, it would not have been enough. But really this is my only criticism. There's only take-out; the stools are for people to sit on while waiting. They keep things moving along. There were five people ahead of me but it still didn't take long.

Great local classic meals and bentos, delicious and classic. Reasonable price points and large selection!

Been a while since I've been. Not even sure if same owners. Craving steak and kinda long walk for me from Kukui Plaza, but burn off calories before I put it all back on. $10-ish for the Regular Steak plate. Almost $13 for the Large. Asked what the difference was but she just showed me the containers. I'm assuming there is a difference in food, but don't know how much. I opted for the Regular Garlic with no rice and all tossed. Good idea...stuffed myself since not worth saving so little bit. Think bigger eaters would want more meat than I got. Plate has no dividers so the garlic sauce was all over the lettuce. Love it. Way better than dressing. Steak also soft. Choke garlic...that's probably going to hurt me later.Worth the cost and the walk. Not sure how everything else is. Sneaked a peak at someones Wing Ding plate...and did not see many wings. Sticking with the steak.

The food here was ok. For the price I paid I expected a little more than what was in the plate. But I get it everything goes up, the portion especially a fish plate could be added just a little more.

Food is great, quick food service but customer service quality is not there. If you call & ask for catering, cashier answers with "I don't know" and hangs up on you. No professionalism or courtesy at all.

Onoliscious and tasty steak and shrimp plate always hit da spot!!Have no been in awhile. My boyfriend went pick up and drop off for lunch today.I could eat every day for lunch!!
