FUUD: d.k Steakhouse in Waikiki

When I crave a good steak, I want a good steak.

From a steakhouse.

So last week, after a serious craving for meat, I decided to try a steak joint I had never been to before: d.k Steakhouse in Waikiki.

It came highly recommended on Twitter — thanks, particularly, to @onokinegridz, for the suggestions — so I booked reservations and went.

d.k Steakhouse, created by local chef D.K. Kodama, along with Hawaii’s top sommelier Chuck Furuya, opened in 2004 to rave reviews. Critics enjoyed the restaurant’s classically and dry-aged U.S. high-grade steaks, particularly the 30-day dry-aged version that quickly became its signature offering.

So you can probably guess what we ate. Here’s a peek:

Opened in 2004, d.k Steakhouse is located in the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa and is adjacent to Sansei Seafood Restaurant and Sushi Bar, with a great view of the ocean.

d.k Steakhouse, 2552 Kalakaua Ave., third floor. Hours: 5:30-10 p.m. daily. (808) 931-6280.

Looks ono Cat. I love steak too! I'm yet to eat at d.k Steakhouse and need to get there soon. With regards to dry-aging steaks in house...I thought Wolfgang Steakhouse at the Royal Hawaiian does that too?

nathankam Yep, Wolfgang does the same thing u00e2u0080u0094u00c2u00a0and the results are equally good. But we decided to patronized a locally owned and operated restaurant. You know? :)

CAT,

Aaaiiiyyyaaahhh! Fuud Pix! Tenks! The pictures helped me remember what the steak and other fuud should look like.. The lighting there and Morton's is so low you need a flashlight to see the menu. Fuud is great but the visual sensation adds to the overall flavor, I think. I wonder why they call it Bone in Rib Eye? Usually the Rib Eye is without bone. With the bone, I think it is called a rib steak which is just a few steaks away from the T and Porter House.

Another day of frustrating log in to post comments to this site...aaaiiiyyyaaahyhh!

johngarcia K, so I'm not the biggest fan of steak fries. I like my fries thin and crispy. But damn, these were good! I couldn't stop eating them!

aaron_kaneao What I liked about it was that it's locally owned. I couldn't think of another high-end steakhouse that's locally owned... So that's a plus in my book!

And yes, I ate it all. :)
