Japanese Teppanyaki Near Honolulu AirportSizzle It Your Way

Yes - we're at 930 Valkenburgh St in the Moanalua Shopping Center, a short drive from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL). Because a full plate takes under five minutes from order to table, we're a realistic option on a layover or before an early flight. Open daily 10:30am to 9:00pm, and you can order ahead for pickup.

Under five minutes from placing your order to the plate hitting your table. You order at a kiosk, take a number and sit down. There's no holding cabinet - the plate is built when you order it and finishes cooking in front of you.

Your food arrives on an iron plate heated to 500°F, with the beef still raw and the rice still cooking. You finish it yourself: stir everything together, add honey brown or garlic soy sauce, and decide when it's done. Four steps - sizzle, stir, sauce and savor. If the beef looks underdone when it lands, that's intentional.

Yes. Angus cut steak, ribeye, New York strip and hamburg steak, plus our limited-time garlic brisket. Because you cook it on the plate yourself, you control the doneness - there's no sending it back.

It works well with kids. Cooking their own food on a sizzling plate holds their attention, the wait is short enough that nobody melts down, and there are milder options like teriyaki chicken, chicken karaage and tofu and veggie plates. The plate stays hot for several minutes, so an adult should help younger children.

It's a casual counter-service restaurant, not white tablecloth - but it's an unusually good low-key date because you're cooking together rather than sitting across from each other waiting. Steak, steam, something to do with your hands. Evenings are quieter than lunch.

Yes. Pepper rice plates are rice and protein and eat heavy; there's a jumbo size if you want more. Sides include chicken karaage, panko shrimp and onion rings. Most people leave full on a single plate.

You're getting cooked-to-order Angus beef in about the time a fast food drive-thru would take, so it prices above a plate lunch and below a sit-down steakhouse. Current pricing is always live on the online order page.
