Great prime rib cut to order. Had the combo special (salad, chips, sandwich, dessert and drink) and was full.
Parking lot nearby. Desserts are homemade and delicious!
Can't wait to come back!
Gof mungge!

We ordered the prime rib panini, prime rib french dip, mochi bread pudding, and creme brulee. Service was friendly. Prime rib was tender and tasty. Desserts were on point. Highly recommend eating here or ordering take out. We will definitely be back the next time we are on Oahu.

A great mix of flavors. The best cheese steak I've ever had.
French apple tarte and bread pudding were very yummy.

Best French Dip Sandwich I've ever had. I really can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. The quality of the food and service reminds me of some of the café I've been to in Ireland, Scotland, and Germany. Best lunch I've had in years.

I personally work in fine dining and was absolutely blown away at the level of service from this cafe!
The owner/chef taking the time to actually talk to each of the guests, the quality of food, this is definitely the place to go for lunch in Honolulu!

Couldn’t believe we asked for medium rare and the prime rib was barely pink. So disappointed.

My mom wanted prime rib and she is old so I ordered and picked it up from this great restaurant. Food was perfectly prepared, reasonably priced, and ready on time. The food was excellent and the preparers were so nice.

This is a great little spot for a hearty lunch! The salad was crisp, the sandwich was delicious, and the small sweet at the end perfectly rounded things out! Will come again:)

Take out, got the prime rib plate. Meat was really tough and chewy. I wish I was more impressed. I would not suggest to a friend

Expensive but also worth it. Some of the best food I've ever had. I ordered the prime pannini and it came out in about 5-10 minutes.

The food is great. Almost good enough to be worth the hefty price tag. It's a little cafe with a deli counter and a kitchen in back. There are about 8 or so two-person tables with wooden chairs. Drinks are bottles from a cooler. There's no ambiance to speak of. It looks like a little lunch spot. But this lunch spot has wagyu beef burgers topped with prime rib. And the meat is melt in your mouth perfection. 30 bucks. That's a lot for a little lunch spot. Or the $60 prime rib plate. For lunch. The saving grace is that the food is mostly worth the cost. Just expect to pay $25 per sandwich. My date chose the Caesar salad for 15 bucks. I splurged, and it felt like a worthy extravagance, but only once in a very great while. Can't say what dinner is like cause I only had lunch.

Worst Prime Rib french dip I have ever had. The counter person did ask me if I minded a little gristel and I said as long as it is cut thin and not to much. When I got home to enjoy my favorite type of sandwich. To my disappointment it was all gristle and inedible. How the guy at the counter thought that the sandwich he was preparing was going to be good leaves me speechless. I expect a lot more from a place that specializes in this type of sandwich and I definitely did not get a $25.00 sandwich.

I bought a small prime rib at the open market at Waikiki Beach Walk.
When I opened it, it was thickly sliced roast beef!
It was difficult to cut with a plastic knife and fork, but it was incredibly soft and moist. The deliciousness of the red meat spread in my mouth and I was so excited.
The accompanying mashed potatoes were also the best I've ever had.
Next time I would like to eat in.

I have been to Rays for the last five years since I moved to Hawaii and I love the Prime Rib if not so for the ambience if Prime Rib is Jess as good as the house of prime ribs in San Francisco and the price is right I always get your Prime Rib there I go there a little early because they do run out I speaking for the Prime Rib you can take it to go whatever deliver
