About Ethel's Grill

Ethel's Grill is a cozy, hole-in-the-wall restaurant located in Kalihi, known for its delicious Mochiko Chicken with ginger ponzu sauce. The menu offers a variety of tasty dishes, including the popular hamburger steak. The lightly fried Mochiko Chicken, almost like tempura, is a crowd favorite and comes with a flavorful sauce. Ethel's Grill is a casual, take-out only establishment with a nostalgic dining experience, offering great food and warm hospitality. The restaurant has been around for over 40 years, and is praised for its reasonable prices, generous portions, and quality ingredients. Customers highlight the restaurant's mochiko chicken, ahi tataki, and deep-fried turkey tails as standout dishes. Despite the small size and often bustling environment, the wait is worth it for the delicious, local and Japanese fusion cuisine.
