    Chicken katsu. But the outside Panko is hard
    GLENN F.

    Out doing errands and look what's for lunch today! But... the Chicken Katsu coating, not the same, it's harder and not a light delicate crunch as before, the chicken meat itself, well thin thin, Neva have to pound um so much! No sides but extra chow fun, was the same. Satisfied? Not really, shucks!

    First time in since the DOH shut them down a few weeks ago. They always hit with the chicken katsu. They were the original when I was a kid a long time ago! I had the hamburger steak and chicken katsu mix last night and it was onolicious.

    Mixed plate - chicken katsu, pork cutlet with all fries

    First time here since change in ownership which was a long time ago. Food tastes the same but cost more. Friday 1:05 pm. Only one cook. Food took over 15 minutes. $20 for a mixed plate (chicken katsu and pork cutlet) with a $2.40 up charge for fries.

    Beef cutlet...a sick amount of food!!
    Maile K.

    Today, I ordered a mini chicken katsu with fries and a mixed plate. (Not to be eaten at the same time. C'mon, really?!) The fries were exactly how I like them; soft. The katsu was not as good as it looked. It had been cooked some time before I ordered it so it was cold and a bit hard. Same goes for the chow funn. Very disappointed, again. The special mix today is roast beef, teri pork and beef stew. I subbed chili dog for the stew. Mistake. The chili was burnt. Couldn't doctor it up. It could not be saved. RIP. The roast beef is tender, and I was given a good amount, but not enough gravy. Plain meat at the bottom. (Yay for my BFF and frozen gravy pucks saving the day.) The teri pork is thinly sliced, is cooked on the flat top, stored in a warming bin until ordered. Pieces of meat are put into the plate and teriyaki sauce is drizzled over the top. Meat under was bland and porky. (the thick teriyaki sauce, when heated enough, becomes like candy and sticks to your teeth. High sugar content.) I really wanted beef curry, but that is tomorrow, 4/20/25. (Every other day.) Four mini meals for under $30. Cashier is always pleasant and the spacious dining area is clean and quiet. Lots of on street parking and free parking in private lot, just outside the doors.

    I ordered the mochiko chicken plate with spaghetti, and it absolutely hit the spot. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside with that sweet-savory mochiko marinade that makes it so addictive. Each piece was juicy, flavorful, and fried just right -- not greasy, just crunchy goodness.

    Grace's is sadly one of the only places that has a good pork cutlet (gravy rice). We've been coming here for decades, even if it's a bit out of the way for us. It's the only plate lunch I know of that comes with a little serving of chow fun under the main entree. And you can buy kim chee on the side. Regular size plates come w/ rice and your choice of 2 salads (toss, mac, asian), Mini plates come w/ rice and 1 salad. Plates are still reasonably priced. The portions have gotten a little smaller, but the food is consistent. Lots of benches/tables to sit at in the dining area, but we usually do take out.

    Hamburger steak plate.  Sorry, shouldn't have started before I took the picture!

    Grace's Inn is our go to restaurant for a good plate lunch. You can't beat it because they're been doing it well, consistently and for so long. This year will be Grace's 38th year in existence so they must be doing something right. Most people call their order in, however you can stroll up to the old school counter and place your order. There's a menu board that has all the regular plates and specials. The Mrs and I usually order the same plates--chicken katsu with two scoops of Mac salad and two scoops of white rice and a hamburger steak plate. I usually get it with brown rice and extra chow fun for $1.50 extra. They give quite a bit of chicken katsu and two hamburger patties with brown gravy all over. They used to give you Kim chee but those days are over, you have to pay extra for that. You can't beat Grace's Inn for a solid, old school traditional plate lunch!

    We'll update on Grace's inn I used to go to the other location in Waimalu but they closed down . So today I was in the area of Grace's on Beretania craving for Chinese chicken salad since Donna .O and my sister said it was Ono . Well for me it was a little below average because the wun tun pi was stale , and the chicken was dry and their sauce was very tangy. I can make a better sauce than that LOL ! Service was friendly and whenever I go there seems like their A/C is always on the blink . The dinning room was very warm and not comfortable. So I quickly ate the Salad and I rushed out of there . Support local only whenever it's possible

    Their daily specials
    Deborah P.

    I remember going to Grace's when it was on S beretania street right at the corner of mccully and beretania st by the rent for all store . Now that place is no longer there. And maybe it's the same one that moved next to the times Supermarket and Epi ya bakery. Shout out to Donna O for posting about their oriental Chinese chicken salad. It was very good had it for lunch. I wished they had more salad dressing with the salad don't know if we could of ask for another one. My husband said it was good except the chicken was just a tad dry. I said it was ok to me. Will buy it again and maybe ask for another extra salad dressing. Saw the daily menu maybe try something else to try. They are temporarily close on Wednesdays

    Oriental Chicken Salad
    Gabriel P.

    It's been awhile since I've been to Grace's. I usually bought the roast pork plate. This was my goto at their former location on S Beretania St. That's was a long time ago. Anyway my wife read something from Donna O. about the Oriental Chicken salad. Yes it was good. Crisp lettuce, sprinkled with one ton pi and Chicken. They gave an ample amount of oriental salad dressing. There is seating for dine in, but it was warm. Ac must not be working. The overall the inside showed it's age Service was good. Enjoy.

    Chicken katsu mini
    Amy Y.

    Local food spot that has been around for years. This is my first time trying it. I wish I did earlier. The place looks like a modern diner. One of these cheap eat places. There were so many options on the menu along with daily specials. I had the chicken katsu plate, which I heard is known here. The food was made fresh. The chicken katsu so crispy and tender. Soo good. No need sauce. Got the mini size and ate it all! So many options that I need to be back to try other plates.

    Mini Teri Pork Plate
    Desmond D.

    I come here about once a month when I have time. I usually get a Teriyaki Beef plate. This time I got a mini Teri Pork plate with Asian Cole Slaw. It took less than 5 minutes and was delicious. The meat was tender and the Cole slaw was fresh. The rice was also cooked well and fresh. The cashier was friendly and she is usually the one working the front. The seating area had about 3 customers. All the seats and tables were clean. I'll be coming again!

    Double cheeseburger
    Joshua B.

    Can't believe I have to write this, but I feel it's worth sharing. This was my favorite childhood restaurant since kindergarten, so giving only 3 stars truly hurts. We walked in shortly after lunch with only a few customers, expecting quick service--but that wasn't the case. The dining tables weren't clean, which was the first disappointment. I ordered the Chicken Katsu & Fried Noodle combo. While the katsu was delicious, the portion was tiny, and the noodles were overwhelmingly salty. The double cheeseburger was even worse. The patty had no flavor, the bun tasted old and rubbery, and it was smothered in ketchup to the point of being inedible. I couldn't even finish half. The only saving grace--and the reason this isn't a 1-star review--is the katsu itself. I truly hope the restaurant takes these reviews seriously and brings back the quality it once had. Sadly, because of this experience, we won't be returning

    This little gem is in the heart of Waikiki. Honestly I just randomly stumbled upon it, and thought…read moreto myself why not? I love trying new things so let's go ahead and give it a try. I know what you're thinking, grilled cheese ? Seriously ? Out of the food in Hawaii this is one thing you choose to try for dinner ? And I would say yes every time. This grilled cheese has a special place in my food palette. I have not found another grilled cheese anywhere else in all the places I have been at that replicates this delicious flavor and taste. It was so good that I end up coming back for 4 days straight my stay in Hawaii ! I had the following below: *PATTY - 5/5 - It is the best grilled cheese I have ever had in my life ! It has a nice tasty beef patty, 4 cheeses (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Provolone, American) Caramelized onions, Bacon and Aioli sauce ! It was boasting with flavor ! Bread was soft, cheeses were boasting with flavor, aioli sauce was amazing. I really wish i paired this with their tomato dip ! I can only imagine how much this would've complimented the grilled cheese. The service was exceptional ! The establishment is a small so be sure to eat this on the go or they have small tables set up if you'd like to eat there !

    This place was amazing! I've never had a better grilled cheese sandwich. We ordered the Aloha…read moresandwich and a classic grilled cheese with jalapeños and onions, and both were absolutely delicious. The sandwiches came out quickly, were perfectly toasted, and had so much gooey, melted cheese. All of the toppings worked really well together and made every bite flavorful. Another big plus is that this was one of the few places open late at night, which made it a great option after a long day. The only downside was that it was a little difficult to find an open table since there's limited seating. Other than that, I'd definitely come back and highly recommend it!

And we just can't go here anymore unless changes are made! We used to prefer them over Zippy's, but now they are less than 7-Eleven quality, while charging higher-end prices for the neighborhood. We have given them many chances, hoping it was just a fluke, but we have repeatedly been disappointed. Their chicken has become chewy and fatty, their rice is mediocre, and condiments such as mayonnaise are stripped down to the bare minimum quantity. Chile is poured so lightly that it is practically a minuscule amount. And their prices have continued to rise. I don't know if greedy people took over the restaurant who just don't care anymore, or what is going on. I remember when I used to take people here, and they would be impressed with the quality and quantity--plates just heaping with good cuts of meat, noodles, and rice. Those days are no more. As they say in Japan, the price performance is poor. Furthermore, their staff is rude. I can only imagine it was an owner working this day because it was a face I haven't seen that often. An older gentleman who appeared to be of Okinawan descent, working the cashier register, accosted us because I was privately discussing with my family about splitting different items with them. We were all ordering something, so he wasn't losing any money, but he told us about how prices are double in Waikīkī. First of all, it is rude to interrupt your customers that way. Secondly, we don't go to Waikīkī or care about Waikīkī. What happened to serving the locals? Third, Waikīkī has an assortment of restaurants, prices, and qualities, and they shouldn't be how you base your services. Lastly, I guarantee I could find a better deal in Waikīkī if I wanted to. Next time you're in the area, just go get a $6 bento or a $5 burrito from 7-Eleven next door. I assure you, the price performance and experience will be better. If Rainbow Drive-In is in the business of comparing themselves to other things, let's compare them to 7-Eleven and at least try to be better than them, right? I can get mochiko chicken from 7-Eleven for $6.99 that is similar in portion size and better quality. Meanwhile, they are serving their fatty, dry chicken for $16.75. Highway robbery! And they are not fancy, with their dirty picnic tables and plastic cutlery. They are just a step above a food truck, if that. Save yourself from the hype. They have gone downhill like a landslide. Go elsewhere.
