A Prime Cut of Honolulu Dining

Situated in the heartbeat of Honolulu, DT Steak House offers a focused approach to the traditional steakhouse experience. This spot trades the stuffy, dim-lit formality of mainland chains for an atmosphere that feels distinctly Hawaiian—approachable, high-energy, and centered around the grill. The air inside is consistently thick with the savory, charred aroma of high-heat searing, accompanied by the rhythmic clatter of silverware and the hum of locals catching up over dinner.

The Culinary Focus

The kitchen leans heavily into classic butchery techniques, prioritizing high-quality ribeyes and New York strips that arrive sizzling on heavy platters. While the steak is the undeniable draw, the sides reflect the local penchant for comfort—think roasted root vegetables and sharp, house-made sauces that balance the richness of the beef. It is an ideal venue for a celebratory group dinner or a long, meat-centric weekend feast after a day at the nearby shoreline.

Know Before You Go

One small note for visitors: space is at a premium here. The floor plan is compact, which creates an intimate dining dynamic but can lead to a bit of a squeeze during peak Friday and Saturday service hours. You might find yourself side-by-side with your neighbors, but that’s part of the authentic urban Honolulu charm. Parking in the surrounding blocks can be a challenge, so plan your arrival accordingly to ensure you don't miss your reservation window. Whether you are craving a perfect medium-rare sear or a robust pour of red wine, the team here keeps the pace fast and the service grounded, favoring genuine hospitality over white-glove pretense.

Great place. Really good food and attentive service. We loved how your food comes out sizzling on an iron plate. We had the Boss combo and the chicken combo. Bot were excellent and priced fairly for Honolulu.

Pretty authentic and delicious. Service can be a bit slow, but we didn't mind it at all. May want to work on social distancing between the tables/ parties tho.

Overall a good experience. Service is fast and attentive. I ordered the Boss Steak set which comes with salad, soup, steak platter and a sweet treat. My husband ordered the Combo Platter set which had shrimp, chicken, short rib and flat steak plus the salad, soup and treat. The salad was a simple chef salad but the dressing was amazing. It taste just like the Creamy Asian dressing from Zippys. The soup tasted good but you can tell it's obviously reheated when you ordered. The top was hot but the bottom was cold. Once you stirred the soup it was lukewarm and would have been better if it was a little hotter. My Boss Platter was really good. The steak was tender and the "secret Satay sauce" they use was amazing. It almost reminded me of a teriyaki sauce with a few spices added in. The platter comes with rice or spaghetti, an over easy egg and vegetables. The egg with the sauce and steak was so flavorful. The vegetables would have been better with some butter and a little salt. They weren't bad, just a little bland. The sweet treat was kind of like a shaved ice with mango juice and li hing mui powder. The ice pieces were a little bigger than shaved ice. It was OK but not my favorite part of the meal. Parking is a little bit of a pain, there's a small lot behind the restaurant otherwise you have to find street parking.
