Really solid bowl, decent enough price. Located just inside Foodland Farms, but seating areas inside and outside.

CHEAP JUNK RICE WARNING ! No wait. Decent garlic chicken. Very similar to Fatboy’s garlic chicken if you’ve ever had that. Friendly fast service buuuttt I’m utterly disappointed and will surely never return because of one major flaw in the overall product of this place, which in Hawaii is unacceptable: VERY POORQUALITY RICE!!! Yuck. One sad foodie.

Ordered 2 plates - Steak and garlic shrimp plate with chimichurri sauce on the side for the steak, and a steak and garlic chicken plate with garlic butter sauce. Everything was good, and I was full. By the way the plate looks, it did look like only a little bit of steak but the combo plate did get me full.Steak was grilled perfectly and good flavor (I did have sauce on the side, not sure how big of a difference it would be without it). Garlic chicken was ok. Garlic shrimp was really good, would order this combo plate again.I like the convenience of being right where you check out of Foodland Farms. Lady who helped really knew the menu, and was patient with me. I wasn't familiar with the menu (first time ordering here), and she didn't seem to be bothered asking me to repeat whatever she was saying about what I wanted with my order. I went a little later in the afternoon and it wasn't busy. Just one other person there who already ordered. Pretty quick with the order; I was able to bring my groceries to the car, and come back to only wait maybe only a minute more to get my order.

Yummy little lunch spot conveniently located inside Foodland Farms at Kamakana Alii. When you walk into Foodland, they're hidden off on the far left past the registers. The ladies working work really quick and are very friendly. All orders are made to go but they do provide a nice seated area as well as an outdoor option if you'd prefer fresh air. I usually eye out their food area after I've already checked out with my groceries and never stop to purchase, but I made it a point this time around. They serve a handful of different steak plates or combo chicken plates and provide different sauce toppings like garlic butter, chimichurri, teriyaki, etc. My coworker got their ahi katsu/steak special and I grabbed a side of steak with garlic butter to go with my food from the Foodland hot bar area. My coworker loved her plate and mopped the entire thing! No complaints for my side of steak and you can't go wrong with anything covered in garlic butter (they served it on the side so you can add according to your liking). A quick and easy stop for food.

A step up from your typical plate lunch! Yummy food and an abundance of options (though not much here for vegetarians). I got the Mix Plate (choice of two options). I went for the Garlic Chicken and the Garlic Shrimp with brown rice and tossed salad (which even had kale) and was not disappointed. My dad had his usual juicy burger and fries. There was so much food, we could barely finish it. They are known for their grilled meats, and their bowls look intriguing. Will have to try those next time.The eatery is located in Foodland Farms and has outdoor seating right next to it - always a plus!

What a change from the first time when they opened. The steak was well prepared and hot. During this past week visit the steak was terrible. The meat was raw and the rice was bloody. It was precooked and not hot. This was the second time this month this has happened. In the past I would wait and observe the staff cooking the steak. Lately it is already cooked and taken from a metal tray/container. The staff also forgot to include the eating utensils. What a disappointment...

The steak, chicken, and shrimp are all amazing and delicious, plus it comes with a good portion of rice and another side. I eat this every week at a minimum

HI Steaks is located in Foodland Farms at Ka Makana Ali'i. This review is for my visit on July 23rd.I ordered the steak and garlic chicken mix plate combo with a side of potato salad. The food is mediocre at best. The garlic chicken didn't have much flavor to it and the steak was chewy. The potato salad was good but nothing spectacular.

First timer at this location. They didn't have much of the toppings available like the other places do, I was told they had run out. I always enjoy the steak here, so I didn't have my doubts eating at this location, however, when my husband and I opened our plates, our steak was really REALLY rare. Don't get me wrong, I love rare, but this one we had was crazy rare. My husband even told the told lady he liked medium well. Other than the food, we did like how there was a lot of outdoor and ample indoor seating available. The tables don't get wiped down immediately, but they do have a spray bottle and paper towels by the trash can available for customers to use to wipe it themselves. Anyway, maybe we just came on an off day, but hoping next time, they have more options.

We ordered 2 steak plates with rice and salad. 1 combo plate with shrimp and bacon and 1 protein bowl where you get to choose and my wife selected garlic chicken, salad greens, choy sum, Brussel sprouts with kimchee coleslaw. She loved the kimchee coleslaw but felt the chicken was a bit fatty. (Unlike me- she's from a small family) a bit picky to me but that's another complete story. However, I did a survey of the four of us and we all agreed it was 3 out of five stars. But we loved the ability to have a beer and sit either inside or out. There was also plenty of parking, after all, it sits inside a Foodland at Kamakana Alii.
I don’t know why this place is less than 4 stars- we were hesitant to try it out bc of the rating but we we’re really craving steak without having to make it or pay steakhouse prices. This was the second time we got the steak plate and both times so good!! Perfectly thin sliced, medium rare, and we absolutely love the garlic butter and horseradish sauce. An affordable and good steak plate cooked at the right temps.

Kind of sad because I usually like this place abut they're SO INCONSISTENT. Called asking for medium rare and they said okay, but it wasn't. The smoked meat usually has better pieces but the one I had was all the hard pieces. :( sad won't go back. Steak was cold cold but the rice was hot. The people were nice but if I'm spending $17, make it worth it please.

My friend did Uber eats & delivered it to me. It's been awhile since I had steak & it was perfect but I'm not a rare steak person. I like my steak well cooked. Overall it was tasty & kale salad was fresh.

I was craving steak and my hubby wasn't home to grill one up, so what better way than to have someone else cook it for me? This steak place is literally less than 5 minutes from my house, so....and I must say it doesn't seem that their prices have been highly impacted by inflation. Still a good bang for your buck. The steak is tender and tasty and the portions are generous; easily enough for home lunch the next day. I definitely recommend you upgrade and get the steak fried rice, too!

I thought it was pretty good. Had the steak plate with kimchi salad. The staff was friendly, no wait. Walked into the food land next door to get a drink then sat and had my meal.
