Kate our server was so wonderful, along with her partner (tall gentleman-can’t remember his name. The hostess was so welcoming and made us feel special as soon as we arrived They were all very attentive and kind and accommodating. The food was AMAZING! we had the clam chowder with FRESH clams, the wedge salad, the lobster pan roast and the prime rib. The drinks were so fancy and fun! This may be my new favorite place!!!

Went to Ya Yas to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. We ordered the tomato bisque soup, bone in rib eye, corn, smashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. I've never left a restaurant more satisfied. Everything was just so good. Highly recommend trying it! Only thing is we wish the rib eye was seasoned a little more. We could have asked for salt but it was so tender and juicy I was afraid to ruin it. Enjoyed it regardless. We enjoyed how quiet it was outside. Great for date night conversation. We can't wait to go back and try more items.

Greeted warmly and promptly. The service was amazing! A big shoutout to Darnell, the most gracious hostess that made my Birthday Dinner and meals in Hawai'i memorable. I brought my guests to Uncle Bo's and Yaya's simply because of the Spirit of Aloha she would bring to our table each time, like Red Velvet Sprinkles. The food was excellent - beautiful presentation, local delights stepped up a notch that made you want to come back again and again.

There was a table with about 12 men who were very loud and used filthy words that has no place in such a lovely restaurant as Ya Ya's. The host should have told them to be a little quieter.

This is might be my new favorite steakhouse. The sides, the steaks, the desserts and the coolest damn menu that I have ever seen! We had the prime rib, the New York and the Ribeye. All really good. We also had the wedge salad the Caesar salad, the smashed potatoes, the broccolini, the corn and the Brussels sprouts. My favorite thing was probably the taro roll bread pudding. The sauce was amazing!

Crazy slow service. Entree took 2 hours to come out. Very little value here. Food is pricey like a nice steakhouse but it service is not the same. Do not recommend.

The food was so GOOD. When I find a really good fried rice it's an automatic return for me BUT, geez they gotta work on the customer service. And I mean they were incredibly friendly (well except for the hostess, she was mad about her job or something) and I will chalk up the bad/slow service to maybe miscommunication and short staffing. Hopefully I won't have to wait 2 hours for my main meal next time because I honestly would return for the GOOD food.

The three of us split a Wagyu Imperial Cut (5 oz), a 22oz ribeye, Caesar salad, smash potatoes, creamed spinach, and I had a cocktail called “Smoke on the Water” which was kind of a mellow smoked old fashioned, beignets for dessert. It was just a little more than enough food. Steaks were medium rare as ordered. The Wagyu was rich and layered, so that a 5 oz Imperial with a 22 oz prime ribeye split three ways felt just right, and the ribeye was excellent. I think 5 oz of the Wagyu for myself would feel like too much. With tip, no wine, it was around $130/person which is very reasonable for a nice steakhouse culinarily on par with other local options like Hy’s, Morton’s, Wolfgang’s, etc. We’ll come back and try some of the less standard steakhouse fare on the menu. They were still serving happy hour when we arrived at 7pm, so we might try to catch that next time.

Go there often (we can walk). Focus on small plates unless you have at least four people. No need to order one of the main courses. Everything meant to be shared. Love the miniature meat loaf and mashed potatoes!

次男の一才の誕生日お祝いで伺いました。お肉はジューシーでとても美味しかった。サイドメニューもとても美味しくて、マッシュルームのソテーと、かぼちゃのソテーが特に美味しかったです。 90歳の祖母も美味しいと絶賛していました。全てのスタッフがとてもホスピタリティがとても素晴らしかったです。目配り、心配りを随所で感じられました。店内は清潔かつおしゃれです。お手洗いも清潔でとても広く、車椅子を使用している祖母も快適に使えました。マネージャーの方が途中話しかけてくれて、次男の誕生日の件や、今回の旅行は90歳の祖母も来ていることを話したら、サービスして頂きました。こんなに素晴らしいサービスを受けたのは初めてで大変感激しました。 4世代旅行の最終日のディナーをこちらのお店で過ごせて、皆大満足して良い思い出が出来て大変感謝しています。次回、ハワイに行く時も来訪します。ありがとうございます。

It’s family style so when you see the piece of the main entree don’t be alarmed it will feed +\- 3 people. It’s not one of those places where you get a tiny piece of meat for a huge price. The food is not cheap but they do a good job. Great food and great service. Very good cocktails as well. Cheers! 🥂

I was so excited for this restaurant because it was highly recommended. However, it turned out to be so disappointing. I ordered Imperial cut Nagasaki Wagyu beef. Love this meat. However, what was supposed the best melt in mouth was filled with all fat that even included a chuck of fat on the plate. So disappointed.
