‘Hy’-quality fare from home

Beef Pack ($99, cuts vary depending on availability)

Though everyone is keeping indoors and practicing social distancing, there’s still a way to enjoy the experience of Hy’s Steak House in the comfort of your home. A mainstay in Waikiki for more than four decades, Hy’s is known just as much for its quality meats as it is for its classy ambiance and exceptional tableside service. While the latter might not be available right now, those high-caliber eats are within reach with the launch of Hy’s Prime Butcher Shop & Market, which delivers premium cuts and ingredients for the aspiring chef or those that just want a little bit of Hy’s during these trying times.

Not quite as well-versed in the kitchen? Hy’s also includes with your order safe-handling directions and any cooking/preparation instructions to execute the perfect dish.
