Alakea Steak

Increased portions would have given this establishment a 5-star rating. Don't mind paying their high prices. We don't like paying high for too small a portion. Not sure if we'll return. We work hard for our money and don't like being taken advantage of by food eateries.

Alakea Steak has great food but I'm subtracting a star for the attitude the workers seemingly have. I'm always polite and tip when I come in but the workers are always apprehensive to give you anything extra than what you specifically ask for in your order. If you don't order a bag then ask for one after, they get annoyed. When you ask for extra condiments, they get annoyed. I asked for a bag and 2 extra condiments today all up front to try and avoid this (specifically two *extra* condiments, on top of the two they always give) and they got annoyed because they thought extra means total and only gave 2. The old guy that works there gave me stink eye and handed me one extra condiment when their misunderstanding was the issue. Maybe its the language barrier but you would think they would appreciate their usual customers more. They easily have the most expensive fast food in the area and you get less of it than the L&L across the street for more. Supporting local businesses is sometimes t

Great place to eat a variety of local favorites. Serves the downtown working community. Hours are limited. Extremely busy during lunch. Accepts credit cards. Meter Parking is one block east. Nice staff. It’s a very clean and simple place. No seating currently. Prices are competitive to surrounding areas. Good will be ready in a matter of time if they’re not busy. If you’re there during lunch rush hour expect to wait a little longer. It does get crowded with people. Safe paths with sidewalks and crossing lights. Be mindful it is a busy street. Don’t stand too close to road. Enjoy.
