Night 2-white wine, jumbo shrimp cocktail and delicious chopped salad. Go, you won't be disappointed Fogot to say Great service too!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

If you're looking for a luxurious yet welcoming spot in Waikiki, StripSteak is the place to indulge! Let me start with their Island Old Fashioned -- they smoked it on request without hesitation, and no, they didn't even know I had "Michael Mina clout" (he follows me on Instagram, humble brag). The result? Absolute perfection in a glass.Happy hour here is next-level, with creative bites that hit all the right notes. The "Kung Pao" Edamame was an explosion of flavors -- spicy, savory, and so addictive, I'm craving it as I write this.The ambiance is upscale yet approachable, and the service? Stellar. StripSteak doesn't just serve food; it serves an experience. I'll be back -- and not just because I feel like a VIP here (but hey, it doesn't hurt).Run, don't walk, to this Waikiki gem. Cheers to good drinks, amazing food, and Michael Mina's magic touch!

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.

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.

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.
