Waikiki is home to many famous restau- rants, and the group at Zetton Inc. offers six options within walking distance of each other with clever, insightful names for each entity. I recently met with Kenny Shizawa, general manager at Aloha Steak House’s new loca- tion inside Marine Surf Waikiki. This was home to the famous Mat- teo’s restaurant that closed in 2012.
This new location has increased the dining capacity, and also of- fers diners an option for outdoor seating. The aroma of sizzling steaks drifts through the open- air restaurant, as passersby stop and head right into the restau- rant’s entrance.
Kenny prepared some of the restaurant’s s items for me to try, such as fresh oysters, some of the biggest and most tender that I have ever seen, as well as the Baked Waikiki, their version of the Baked Alaska, prepared tableside. It was truly a special way to end this delicious meal.
AL: How long have you been a part of Zetton Restaurants and why did you want to get in the restaurant industry?
KS: I have been with Zetton Restaurants a total of eight years
