People often ask where can they find the best steak in Hawaii.  Answer:  The Paniolo Rib-Eye at D.K Steakhouse in Waikiki.  This is hands down the best and most flavorful steak in the State.  Most of my friends agree and go here when they want steak.  On this visit I went with my buddy for his birthday and he and his wife also declared the Paniolo Rib-Eye as the best steak ever!  We started our meal with a Scallop Appetizer that was pretty disappointing because the scallops were about the size of a quarter.  The Wedge Salad is served with Thousand Island Dressing so I changed mine to Bleu Cheese.  This Wedge is good but it needed some onion and bacon.  We ordered a slice of the Thick Cut Bacon and everyone loved it.  Served with sautéed mushrooms and a chutney.  Amazing flavor combination that really worked.  The Truffle Mac n' Cheese here is awesome.  It would be easy to kick back and knock back the entire bowl of this stuff.  Nice Truffle flavor and not too cheesy.  Flavors work well.  The star of the evening was the Paniolo Rib-Eye ($48).  This is the best steak in Hawaii.  I have eaten a dozen of them now and they are always good.  D.K's dusts the steak in a blend of spices that are then charred into the meat.  The outside of the steak has a nice char but the inside is cooked perfectly.  The steak is served with grilled Maui Onions which I make sure are included with every bite of steak.  The combination of the steak and the onion is amazing.  Enjoyed a few desserts too because it was my buddies birthday.  All were delicious.  Highly recommend D.K's for the Paniolo Rib-Eye.  Service on this night was great.  We brought our own wines and they waived the $25 corkage fee per bottle when we purchased a bottle of wine from their wine list.

I am a big fan of D.K. Kodama the owner of D.K Steak House.  Memories of his mom picking up my daughter when she was just a baby and then walking around the restaurant taking care of a child she did not even know.  Will never forget when she took our daughter into the kitchen to meet the chefs.  Boy was I jealous.  She did not invite me.  Mama Kodama is gone now but our love for her spirit and D.K's Sansei and D.K Steak House restaurants goes on.  I love Ruth Chris and Morton's for a steak, but when I have guests in town or want to enjoy the best steak in Hawaii I go to D.K's and order the Paniolo Rib Eye.  Most of my friends agree that the "Paniolo" is the best tasting steak in the Aloha State.  What makes the Paniolo Rib Eye so good is the slightly crusted seasoning blend they put on the top.  It has a touch of brown sugar that adds a bit of sweetness but not too much.  When married with the grilled Maui Onions on each bite the flavors are fantastic.  The Maui Onion is sweet and not overpowering.  They add texture and flavor to the meat that is already full of flavor.  On a good night I can finish off the Paniolo, but most times I end up bringing some home.  This is the only steak house where my wife expects me to bring home a doggy bag if she is not with me.  If I don't have some Paniolo Rib Eye with Maui Onions for her she gets very upset.  The staff at D.K's is always courteous, professional and efficient.  Have never had a bad meal or service here and highly recommend it.
