Reviews for Ya-Ya’s Chophouse & Seafood in Honolulu, HI
They always rock it! Service is personable and menu is reasonable, creative and pretty splendid. Give it a try if you've never... been. The atmosphere is cosmopolitan and food ono! Really only one of a handful of places in town that have a really classysetting and menu, while having a very reasonable and tasty bar menu, in a casual, easy going, feel good atmosphere. If youwanna do it up, the dinner menu is hearty and unique. They also have a semi private room for intimate parties. Outdoor sidewalkor under cover seating is also nice on a cool evening. Definitely a favorite! 8/09/21 They rocked it again. Stephanie, one ofour servers, and her teammates, on it and quite entertaining. Thank you for the usual great service and pretty dang good grubstoo. ????????? 9/2022 Been back many more times before this but wanted to give another shout out! Still rocking it!

I give him all the credit in the world. Also posted a pic of the newest item on thebar menu, a beef skewer. It was right up that onolicious alley! Rock on!! ?????????? Read more
This place does not take quick pay and still have those terminals in the wall from 20 years ago. We went there during our... vacation; got the dry aged steak, ceviche, soup and drinks to share. The food was great but paying was a different story. Myfriend had to enter verification for 10 min into their outdated system, the impatient waiter started berating us for notresearching before traveling. This is a "developped" country is it not? They know what they are doing with the food, I want torate this higher but I had to remove a star for the infrastructure/service and another for the ceviche that gave us all minorfood poisoning the next day.

Vibe is chill, but can be fancy if you like. Cocktails were ok. Ocean Tower is worth it. Lobster was done perfect. Poke and... ceviche were surprisingly delicious. Oysters, scallops and shrimp round it out. Prime rib is giant, soft and so so so yummy. Beprepared to take home a big doggie bag OR share. Dessert was delightful. Beignets with chocolate sauce.

What a place. Went earlier in the week with clients and was blown away. When my wife joined me I had already changed my initial... dinner plans to take her here. I had seared Ahi steak again and it's incomparable: flavor, texture, size, etc. Truly not had anequal traveling across the US. And my wife did the 16oz ribeye and she's hard to please in terms of bad luck getting truly rarefirst time out let alone seasoning. It was to her words one of the only times it was pitch perfect as is at the start. Read more
The perfect steakhouse dining experience! Made our reservation for 2 via OpenTable. There's street parking if you're lucky,... otherwise there's a parking garage right next to the restaurant. With validation, we only had to pay $1. When we arrived, wehad to fill out a quick Covid tracing form via a QR code you scan with your phone. For appetizers we ordered the Ahi tartar andfat fried rice. For entrees, we ordered a bone in ribeye, bone in prime rib, creme brulee corn, creamed spinach, white rice anda side of foie Gras. Everything was absolutely delicious! The prime rib and foie gras were especially amazing! Service wasimpeccable! Our waiter constantly checked on us, our waters were never left empty, and they even cleaned our table and switchedout our silverware after appetizers. Our dining experience at Ya-Ya's was fantastic and I greatly look forward to going again! Read more
The whole experience was amazing. The staff are attentive and very helpful above and beyond. The food....wow. The lamb chops,... good, French fries, great, the lobster rolls...omg. If you enjoy lobster, you must try the new lobster roll. It is so goodand perfect. The Pink Cadillac was also pretty spectacular. I'm in love.
