d.k Steak House - Honolulu
One of several restaurants by Dave "DK" Kodama, the chef/owner behind D|K Restaurants Group, d.k Steak House is Japanese focused and caters to vegetarians and those with gluten-free diets.
Read MoreThe group is big on supporting Hawaii's local farmers and uses as much locally grown produce as possible. Many of the starters are generously portioned, and ideal for sharing, from the truffle Ahi, which comes with fried garlic chips, to blue crab dip with garlic toast.
There are the usual steak and seafood entrees, but some of the best menu deals are the surf and turf dinners (an eight-ounce filet paired with lobster, Alaskan king crab, catch of the day, or "monster" shrimp scampi) and prix-fixe feasts. For the latter, guests may choose from the likes of the crab cakes, wagyu carpaccio, prime bone-in ribeye, or porterhouse.
