Love the food. Delicious. Fresh and hot
Delicious food!!! The miso butterfish was to dieee for, and the garlic shrimp and kimchi pork bowl were super good. The shiso wakame rice was soooo good, and the green salad is great too, it has that nice sesame dressing. You order at the window and then they drop it off at your table in to-go boxes. It's definitely more of a chill vibe, the people are all super nice though. The inside is pretty cute, rustic kind of vibe. Overall so delicious!!
The food at Pioneer Saloon was one of the highlights of my trip to Oahu. Whether you’re local or visiting the area, I would highly recommend. The staff was friendly and food was served promptly. I will absolutely return when I’m back in the area.

Pioneer Saloon is a popular plate lunch restaurant known for its must-have dish for meat lovers - the Saturday and Sunday limited prime rib. This thick and voluminous cut is tender and delicious and can be paired with a choice of white rice, brown rice, or mixed grain rice, as well as shiso wakame rice. The dish is served with two types of soy sauce. While take-out is an option, it's recommended to enjoy the meal on the spot or at nearby Kapiolani Park. The portion sizes are manageable for one, making it unlikely to result in a food coma, which is great for those with an action-packed day ahead. Parking is available nearby, and ribeye remains a popular option for those who prefer it.
The restaurant features a quirky interior with wood surfaces, vintage surfboards, and framed collage art, creating a neighborhood general store vibe. There are even souvenirs and Aloha shirts available for purchase. Japanese can be overheard from the cooks bustling in the kitchen behind saloon doors. Customers order at the window before entering and wait for their food inside. The Miso Butterfish is pan-roasted and delicately seasoned with miso, butter, and mirin, offering a texture and flavor reminiscent of black cod. The curry is also a favorite, with big pork belly pieces at a steal for $5 as a side. The mochiko chicken and loco moco are highly recommended as well.
