Ethel's Grill - Honolulu

What I ordered wasn't good at all. I ordered the Mochico Chicken with no sauce and rice and some kind of Japanese noodle salad. I was disappointed because they're kinda expensive and it's a very old place. It seems like others like it because sometimes people are waiting but only a few seats inside. Or maybe I just picked the wrong item to eat.

Went two days in a row but both times they were closed. Won't stop me from trying again. They have always been great.

Ordered Mochiko Chicken. My favorite thing about it is the ginger ponzu sauce! I love dipping my chicken! The owner is always kind and friendly. I always feel welcomed.

Take-out only and sooooo worth every morsel. All four dishes we tried were very tasty, even the deep fried turkey tail which was very rich, and were totally wiped clean. Particularly loved the bitter melon pork and egg stir fry which is such a nostalgic comfort food for me, and the Ahi Tataki sashimi plate which was super fresh! Always appreciate an ample amount of greens and every sauce they provided was very well paired for the dish, whether gingery sweet citrus or garlicky soy sauce. The miso was also very flavorful : definitely want to come back and try more!

Such nice people, great food in generous portions and we got lucky today with a pop up bake sale. Everything was delectable and so scrumptious delicious I finished my Christmas shopping there. Just love this place!!! Their daily specials are must, especially the pork chops with stuffing and mushroom gravy. The regular menu is good too, I had the Japanese Hamburger steak- so ono!
