About Artizen by MW - steak house in Honolulu, Hawaii

Chic counter-serve cafe offering Hawaiian lunch specials in airy, contemporary surrounds.

Customer Review Summary

Artizen by MW is a unique dining spot located inside a car dealership, offering quality coffee drinks and to-go food options. While the coffee is good and served by a friendly staff, it comes in to-go cups and can be a bit pricey. Patrons enjoy a spacious setting with covered outdoor seating despite nearby traffic noise. The food, including a sensational Thanksgiving bento box, receives high praise for its quality, reasonable prices, and pleasing portions, although some find them a bit small. Signature dishes like the spicy fried chicken sandwich and burger stand out, while locally sourced ingredients enhance the menu. It's a favored choice for those visiting nearby attractions, promising a delightful lunch experience even if the surrounding car display may seem unconventional.

Not exactly a professional coffee shop or cafe, they serve quality coffee drinks from an espresso machine behind the bar inside the car dealership. Nice server makes me a drink close to a cortado and it is good, though a bit high priced with only to-go cup options. Lots of seating w/ covered seating outside if you don’t mind the traffic. It’s all there for a great coffee shop but it’s not the restaurant’s priority. To-go food options look really good as well. High-quality spot for people with too much money… but if you’re walking by it’s good 🤙🏼 4.5/5

I ordered take out from here, the food is very good. Price is quite reasonable. The portion is not huge, just the right size.

I’ve only experienced the Thanksgiving bento box, but it was sensational and the staff went well above and beyond to accommodate the hordes of people wanting a meaningful meal on the holiday. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the regular menu!

Great place for lunch after a visit to I'olani Palace. The garden courtyard was under repair when we recently visited, but we have seen it in its glory and it is a beautiful place right next to the cafe. We ordered food that was much too heavy (eggplant sandwich, pork bowl, and pumpkin cheesecake), but it was all tasty.

This is my personal #1 spot for lunch on the island. The quality is phenomenal, they keep the menu simple and fulfill each order with delicacy and amazing locally sourced food when available. I love the fries here, and the furikake fries are a little fusion bomb of Oishi goodness! The burger is one of the best I've had, and the opah is to die for! No matter what you get, it will be served with the upmost quality.

I love their food from MW restaurant. Very delicious and very details, but lil too small portion lunch box. After I eat their lunch box, I'm still hungry.

Delicious food. Ate the spicy fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was delicious with just the right amount of kick. I will definitely be back to try the other lunch items.

Food is great, small place to eat on first floor. Great if you like a car scenery since it's in the auto display area.
