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! 👍

This is take away only now. We just got a side portion of their famous tataki to try which has about 8 pieces over some veggies. It was yum and fresh but unsure about all the fuss over it. Good value though for $9.95 but wouldn’t go out of my way for this.

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.

Wow, wow, wow- Ethel’s punches way above her weight class! This small storefront knows how to bring flavor. Come hungry and prepare for some shock and awe!

Take out only as of May 2023. Pro tip - phone your order in about 15-30 min before you want to pick it up. Awesome flavors.

Definitely the best food while I was in Hawaii. The loco moco was absolutely incredible. The chef was super friendly and cooked with love! I can't wait to come back.

Great spot to get a plate lunch. Owners are very friendly. We highly recommend the famous ahi tataki plate!!

Hands down, excellent food! The food was cooked to order and brought out to us hot. Everything we ordered was quiality and tasty food. I will add that the sauces we had were amazing as well. Seeing this was my first visit, I did not know what to expect. However, the woman helped me decide and she made sure my husband was aware that what he ordered was bitter because it had bittermelon in it (so there would be no surprises). The service is very helpful! I will be coming back!

Slightly off the beaten track, but my god is the food here worth the while. The portion sizes are large but more importantly the food is tasty. The tataki platter and the mochiko chicken are the standout dishes and must haves whilst the loco moco is also good. Great service too but unfortunately no dining in at the minute. Come here for some good local authentic food and you won't be disappointed.
