Steak Rave

Fish was incredible! Service was really fast. Parking is limited but quick in and out.

I love their garlic shrimp and steak plate! I always bring my friends and they all enjoy the food. I think they have the best steak plate in Hawaii!

The food here is consistently good quality, and a very good value for the money.
Don’t let the fact that it’s in a corner of a small mini mart put you off.
The staff are friendly and have never made a mistake on my order. Try it, I bet you’ll like it.

Way better than any fast food I have ever had. We all had a steak sandwich for $ 3.75 each. You can get drinks at liquor store or Walgreens. Then head to Kailua beach to eat. Easy drive.

Great tasting, not too expensive and nice people. Yes a little weird that it serves out of liquor store and yes the parking in front is minimal. But our whole family including 3 kids liked the bbq chicken, shrimp plate. The steak noodles were ok. Id probably pick something else besides that one since the steak was a little dry.

I was working in Kailua and was wondering where to eat at and then it hit me… Let’s turn to Unilocal.Right around the corner from me was Steak Rave right inside Oneawa Market/​liquor store.
The parking lot is small but being the KOP (king of parking) I got one right in front.
Walked inside thinking I was going to get a steak and rice plate but what I saw reminded me of this place I would eat at least once a week. They had chicken with fried noodles. I am supposed to be cutting down on my red meat anyways so it worked out.
Waiting for my food i noticed all the business this place gets, I’m actually surprised that I scored a parking.
Here’s my food. Wait for it, wait for it. Nom, nom, nom… Oh yeah this tastes good. The chicken is tender, sliced fish cake and onions with their secret sauce. The taste buds were going crazy. It was so good that I forgot about trying to be on a diet and ate the whole plate.
Only question now is, should I get some dessert!!!

Crying because it’s in a liquor store? Please go somewhere else so I don’t have to wait for my ono food. Grilled meat. Flavor-​FUL. Nuf said. Luckily the skinny meth-​heads hanging around outside don’t eat much with their ‘summer’ teeth (some’re here; some’re there). Shrimp were good. Korean short ribs got two thumbs up from the keiki. Even the house salad with ranch was good. And they have Crown Royal? Thanks again Unilocal!!!

This is really a great Koran steak! I ordered the Kailua special mix plate including the shrimp, chicken n steak. Very yummy and tasty. The owner is very kind too.

No matter how you slice it, this is THE best steak plate on the island. I highly recommend Steak Rave. Anytime I have someone from the mainland visiting, this is one of the first places they eat at. Most of the time, they are eating it again before they leave the island. The women that run the place are always very nice and courteous, no matter how busy the store is. As an added bonus, you can walk to the back to the liquor store and grab a beer or tasty adult beverage to enjoy with this miracle in styrofoam. 5 stars is sadly the most allowed to give on this review. I feel this restaurant deserves a ¹⁰⁄₅. Well done ladies, you’ve kept me happy and satisfied for 4 years.

CASH ONLY! Hidden gem in Kailua! Have been coming here for a couple of years and the food has remained inexpensive and delicious. Every time we have repeat visitors, they want to come back to this spot.
HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the steak sandwich — it’s like an uncrustable but with STEAK! Winner. Only downside is they don’t seem to have it all of the time (would call ahead).
If no sandwich is available, we usually get the steak plate — so much food/​bang for your buck!
Would recommend calling in for pick up as it sometimes gets crowded and busy (it’s literally a hole in the liquor store).

Maybe I went on an off day? Got a steak chicken combo. Not great… Barely passable as good. I walked away feeling like they write their own reviews because my fellow Unilocalers are typically about right. This place… Dark and dingy but, because of the stunning reviews and generous portions… Heck, I was game! I received the opposite. The morsels of food I received had they been remotely tasty I would give a solid 3 stars.

Although this place shares a liquor store location and a little confusing to find at first, they have some real good food! Workers are very friendly, we got our order pretty quickly, BUT not very much room to sit and enjoy your food. I’m so glad I Unilocaled this place… Every time my family goes back to Oahu, we try to find hidden gems. This place is one of them! I’d recommend next time to order food1st and bring it to the beach. Everyone around you will be jealous with the good smelling food wafting their way!

Good taste, great variety and great prices. Lots of food for the price. I usually get the steak plate and keep telling myself I’ll try one of their combos or kalbi and stuff but I keep getting the steak, lol.
They pretty much cook all the orders to medium. I prefer medium rare but at the price I can’t complain (if they could cook it a bit rarer, I’d give it 5 stars).

Found myself in Kailua Beach and was feeling hungry so did some Unilocal search and decided to give this place a try. I’m so glad I did. The serving is Huge! My husband and I shared an order of the Kailua special which includes a variety of meat and garlic shrimps. We love it! Highly recommended!

This is a VERY hidden & interesting place. First of all, if you see the Goodwills & Walgreens, you are in the general area. If you see the Liquor store, you’re pretty much there. Steak Rave share the exact building.
The food is phenomenal. Highly recommend to everyone that enjoys steak. Depending on what you get, Pricing and portion is definetly fair. I got the mix platter of strak and fish for $ 9. Only reason I’m not giving them 5stars is because of the location. Kind of a weird spot, but hey, get your steak on and buy a beer to go with it I guess.
Other than that, go and get your grub on!
Pardon me as I go grab seconds. Not because I’m not full, it’s because I need breakfast for tomorrow!

I was craving some steak and found this little gem on Unilocal (obviously, because I’m constantly on Unilocal trying to find good places to try lol). I was looking for something fast, but unfortunately, everyone else on the island seemed to be thinking the same thing. I called in my order, and since the 2 or 3 spaces out in front were full, I snuck into the parking lot next door. I was a little surprised, even after reading the reviews that the place was awkwardly situated in the corner of a liquor store. There are a couple tables, and some counter seating, but it was all full when I was there. There was also a long line of people ordering and picking up food.
I waited in line to pick up my food and noticed that they had an ATM nearby for people who didn’t have cash (those people obviously don’t use Unilocal). The people waiting in line and eating at the tables were a mix of military guys and locals. Steak is steak!
I ordered the steak and shrimp plate. I enjoyed the shrimp and the steak was good. It wasn’t anything super exceptional, but I guess because it’s relatively expensive, it fits the bill.
Steak Rave is basically a blazing steaks, even the condiment sauces are similar. I will say though that the cashier was very sweet. She was an older asian woman and very patient, even with the long line. I just wish they would have had a pick up line and a separate ordering line. I think it would make things roll a little faster, but it’s ok.

The quality of the food is much better than you would expect from a liquor store– «hole in the wall». The family that owns and runs this little restaurant will eventually know your face and order over time, so strike up a simple conversation with the woman at their register (it’s usually the asian woman with the pony tail, or her sister with the short hair… But mostly pony tail lady).
The steak is very flavorful, JUICY and not dry and shriveled like other steak places. Also, the chicken with the Korean sauce is also very yummy– also very juicy and the portions are generous. Very worth it!
The only reason why I say ⁴⁄₅ stars is because sometime the wait is REALLY insane, but that just shows how good they are. But really, with food like this, I’ll wait.

It was quite tricky, I didn’t realize the steak place was inside the convenient store. They also dont accept credit cards and their steak plates do not include drinks anymore but other than that, the steak itself was amazing!!!
There was so little fat and just really delicious!!! I would deff eat there again

I have come here so many times, and it is absolutely a travesty that I have never reviewed it. So here it is…
Steak Rave is one of my favorite places on this island. I have been coming here for over 4 years now and I still cannot get enough. Plate lunches are a staple of Hawaiian food culture, and this place does it better than anyone. I always get the large steak plate with all rice, and the ladies that work there always remember. The steak is almost always perfectly tender and juicy and is so well seasoned. I bring all my family and friends here and they have reported that the chicken, kalbi, and shrimp are also excellent. Parking can be an issue at times (as with anywhere else in Hawaii) and there are only a few tables, but this would literally never stop me from going, even if it meant I had to sit on the curb in the pouring rain to eat it. It is that good.
This was one of the first places I discovered for food when I came here over 4 years ago and it will be the one I miss most when I move back to the mainland at the end of the year. I cannot recommend this place highly enough; if I could give them seven or even eight stars I absolutely would. Since that is not how Unilocal works I guess they will have to be happy with five. Stay delicious, Steak Rave!

Good solid food and friendly service. Oddly enough it’s located inside Oneawa Market. You’re better off trying to find parking on the street than maneuvering their tiny parking lot which has only about 3−4(?) stalls.
They also have shrimp and chicken, but I’m not really a fan of their chicken which is on the dry side. The steak is not a large portion and it’s cut up into small pieces, but it’s juicy and flavorful:
This is a great place to satisfy your steak cravings!
