Their steak menu is expansive and overall of very high quality.
I suggest you make a reservation beforehand because the place gets booked up quickly, and it's always full.
They have the best complimentary bread baskets! So soft, warm, and yummy.
The place has a formal dress code, so be sure to wear polos and covered shoes. People at the restaurant were formally dressed the last time I went there - dresses, heels, dress pants, polos, etc.
Located in the Royal Hawaiian Center, Doraku Sushi has top-quality and fresh seafood. I was wary of this place at first, worried that it would be another tourist trap, but I was wrong! I've had a fair share of sushi and oysters, and I consider myself a connoisseur when it comes to sushi, everything I ordered from here was nothing short of perfection. The presentation was great and the food was amazing. The poke nacho had the best seasoning. My group seriously debated whether to order another because it was so delicious.
2. Rigo
Rigo is my favorite restaurant on O'ahu. The ambiance is great, and the restaurant is always crowded. It does get loud, so if you're looking for a quiet place to dine, this may not be one. But food! Oh, the food is so good. Their food is on a saltier end, but it's so delicious nonetheless.
The Paella Negra is squid ink paella with squid, green beans, seafood stock, and aioli. It makes your lips black! haha
The Bolognese was a solid dish, as well. Made with fresh rigatoni with bolognese meat sauce topped with mascarpone yogurt sauce, the Bolognese is surely going to be liked by everyone.

Serves fresh poke or other seafood menu
It can be a food truck or a fancy restaurant with a dress code. As long as the food tastes great, we'll give it a try.
