Daughter #1 came home one day with a takeout dinner from a food truck called Iron Grill Hawaii.  It had slices of steak with gravy like garlic sauce on a huge bed of rice and a small green salad.  It was delicious!!!

The hunt was on to have it again, though we couldn’t find the truck the first few tries.  We got it figured out – from 6:00 – 9:00 pm, the truck is parked on Poni Street (by Don Quiote’s 2 story parking lot) and in front of the Pan Am building on Kaheka Street from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm  (hours seem to vary).

The prices are great – $9.50 for steak, and a combo portion for $5 more.  Aunty usually orders the double steak, cooked medium, with garlic sauce for $14.50 ($9.50 + $5.00).  Oh, sooo ono!  Medium rare might be better because it keeps cooking even after it comes off the grill.  The grill is a teppan yaki grill – a mini version of the Benihana type cook top, so not only do we get great food, we have a show to watch, too!

Other choices include shrimp, calamari, chicken, salmon, veggie, tofu,  or combos and add-ons for $1.50 more such as mushroom, tomato, eggplant, etc.  Choices for rice are white or brown – and he piles on the rice.

Please keep in mind that he doesn’t use the best cuts of beef, so don’t order it well done unless you do like tough meat.  Also, pay attention to how you order the sauce or no sauce option.  After several trials, Aunty’s favorite is WITH original sauce, garlic flavor.  Ordering salt & pepper & garlic is the NO sauce option and not as juicy, in Aunty’s opinion.  Spicy garlic sauce might be Aunty’s next venture, mouth watering and lips puckering in anticipation!

Iron Grill Hawaii can be followed on Instagram, which Aunty doesn’t know how to do.  Doesn’t matter though.  Aunty will follow him by car and enjoy her teppan yaki steak in styrofoam.
