HOURS: Daily 5PM - 10PM / Closed Tuesday
On this evening we went out for dinner at a restaurant and when we got there my Wife realized that the reservation was for the next night. Decided to walk down the street in Kakaako to Ya Ya's Chophouse since my Wife had always wanted to try the place. We got there right at 5PM to find the bar and restaurant completely empty. The hostess said she could seat us outside on the patio which was a bit odd since the restaurant was empty. Oh well, maybe they have a lot of reservations. We sat outside and listened to a car alarm go off for at least a half hour before the car was towed away. Our wait staff was great and we dug into some vino and appetizers. The Edamame was delicious with a slightly sweet glaze. My Daughter wanted the Pigs on a Stick which is deep fried Pork Belly. I am not a huge lover of Pork Belly but I had one piece and it was delicious. Served with BBQ Sauce. The Poke was also really good. Liked the sauce and onions. The Fat Fried Rice was one of our favorite Fried Rice dishes in all Oahu. Perfectly cooked rice with nice flavor. The Creme Brûlée Corn sounded good but none of us liked the heavy sugar coating. We did like the corn below it though. For the Steaks, my Wife and Daughter split the Porterhouse which is large and comes cut into pieces. Neither were really impressed with the steak which surprised me. I went with the Imperial Cut A5 Wagyu from Japan. The Waiter brought out the small 5oz portion prior to cooking it so we could see the marbling. The steak was cooked perfectly and I thought it was delicious. The star of the evening was the Foie Gras which together with the Wagyu was amazing. I was in heaven eating this. As for the Desserts, I loved the Cheesecake but thought the Beignets were a bit dry. Definitely helps to order with Ice Cream. Service on this visit was fantastic. Loved the staff who made sure we were taken cared of the entire evening. Definitely will come back for the food and service!
