Ethel's Grill - "homestyle Asian eats in a low-key space."

Tataki Sashimi (lightly seared sashimi)

Ethel's Grill
232 Kalihi Street
(808) 847-6467
5:30am - 2pm

The food is 'ono and comes out fresh, fast and hot. The price is really hard to beat for what you are getting at about $7. You can get the Sumo Size for an additional $2.50. The plate comes with a small salad and a bowl of hot miso soup. The photo above is a side of the Tataki Sashimi that sells for $6. There is no parking and the service and atmosphere are unremarkable. There is always a small crowd waiting to get in. Ethel's Grill is open for business Monday thru Saturday from 5:30am to 2pm. Ethel's Grill is a cash only business and very informal. This is one of the best hole in the wall lunch shops on O'ahu and has been serving great home style food for decades. You really cant go wrong at Ethel's Grill.
