Katsu curry with chow fun is still on point! They are short staffed but at least the food is still the same. Although the hamburger steak may have changed...tasted off but still hamburger steak.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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!
Saturday May 16, 2026 we came here to eat dinner inside. Plenty parking. We came here around 7pm. We ordered, paid and waited for our order. Shortly after we got our food. It looked good and smelled good. So, sorry to say. The chicken was dry and chalky tasting. It was cooked a little too long. My cousin liked it like that! I ordered the shoyu chicken. He ordered the meat loaf and shoyu chicken. He gave me the meat loaf. I gave him the shoyu chicken. We both were happy after that. It was all good! Normally, I always order the chicken katsu from here. I wanted to try something different. These were the Saturday specials. Ambiance is casual and comfortable in here. We will be back.

My Go-To Mix Plate since 1981! Ever since I first walked through the doors of Grace's Inn back when they were on Beretania near Isenberg, this has been my ultimate order: Chicken Katsu, Pork Cutlet, and Teri-Beef. Gotta have that gravy all over the katsu and cutlet, plus the classic mac salad! The only downside? There was no Chow Funn this time, and no Kim Chee in sight, this was Graces identity. Times have definitely changed, but the nostalgia still hits the spot. read more

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. read more

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 read more
Before Graces used to be good the go to spot. Well haven't been here in a while so figured the family would eat dinner there. First off-walked in still kind of dinerish but that's Graces. Used to be busy but walked in like 6ish and only had 2 people in there (should have been a sign). So we ordered our food-mini fried noodles-was soooo small not worth $9. It was kind of gross. Had some kind of meat in there that looked like it was leftover from the night before as garnish. Next we had chili bowl and hot dog chili plate. Gross again-the chili was so dark it looked like it was there all day. Last we had the special-sweet sour chicken. We thinking ok sweet sour sounds good. Box is opened and there is some kind of funky red sauce on the chicken. It was like a bbq with other stuff mixed together. Being that my future daughter-in-law is not from here was let's just say it was pretty embarrassing to take her there. Well as we were sitting there trying to eat this we see this HUGE ASS kakaroach crawling on the floor. That was it we were done. NEVER AGAIN Will I subject my family to this place. Oh and one more thing as we were at the counter deciding what we wanted to eat-the cook was wiping her sweat from her forehead with her gloved hand and then continued to cook. NO CAN!!!! All around experience-disgusting. read more

My husband did tell me to keep my expectations low and I wanted to try it. We took out 2 plates on a Sunday night. Spicy pork & chicken katsu : the spicy pork is not korean style. They use the same pork from their roast pork or shoyu pork and just add on a different sauce. Their chicken katsu wasn't bad, I liked their sauce. Mac salad wasn't good.. very relish/pickle flavor heavy. Shoyu pork & mochiko chicken: pork was eh. Mochiko chicken was good. If I came back maybe I'll try the hamburgers but I don't think I'd get a plate lunch from here. Maybe just the fried chicken stuff. read more

Nostalgia... Grace's Inn is a place I remember as a family friend had helped the owner get started with suggestion to their plates and with that have visited them numerous times since she's such a great cook. It's been years and years since and gotten lost in my thoughts though never far from my heart had finally gotten the opportunity for breakfast since they do open early at 7am was perfect...almost as they currently are closed on Wednesday GAH! hopefully not for long as the hump day is a day I need the energy but did go on another day and was so happy to see how spacious this location is and wished I could've enjoyed and stay to sit causally to enjoy my morning though off to work I go. I ordered the mini breakfast with scrambled eggs and Portuguese sausage and upgraded to fried rice all was nice though the egg was a bit done and looked more like a crepe than scrambled but in general being in a pinch was a great place to grab a bite with lots of parking right beside the restaurant and with lots of breakfast items to choose from that runs til 11am weekdays and 12pm on weekends you don't need to rush over to get your fix. Thank you! read more

Tuesday March 11, 2025 we came here for dinner. We both ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry. It came out fast and hot. Ambiance is casual and comfortable. Plus, it's air conditioned in there. We will definitely be coming back again. read more
Got takout from Grace's Inn and got the Chicken Katsu. One of the best chicken katsu plates I've ever had!! The entire plate was enough to feed me for two meals which is a score given the price ($14.75) which is insanely cheap!!! Love it :) And it also it has vegetables. Plus underneath all the chicken, there was some chow fun which was a pleasant surprise and tasted pretty good too. Staff was super friendly and patient with me over the phone when calling in my order and picking up the food. Place has plenty if parking with a lot of seating inside. Overall loved the food and loved the experience. I remember my parents telling me stories of how this place was around when they were in college. Definitely check it out if you're looking for a new place to try :) read more
Longtime haven't had graces Got the chicken katsu curry, chicken katsu with fried noodles, and seafood mixed plates. The Katsu was not fluffy like before and seafood seemed flattened. The noodles were great Hopefully I just came on an off day but will come back again to try read more
Grace's is so nostalgic for me The first time I ever ate here was in 1981, my senior year in high school. I had the chicken katsu and it was the best thing I had ever had at that time in my life We have not been coming here as often because my senior mother's legs are not as strong as before Today though everything aligned Mom was feeling great so we decided to get dinner here. I had the chicken katsu with extra katsu sauce. Mom had the pork long rice. It's a great day when my mom can finish her entree. She loved the pork long. She said this taste good and it's not salty. She finished everything except the salad as she got too full I really believe that Grace's katsu sauce is the best period I always request for an extra sauce as I like to make every bite had sauce on it The chicken katsu was nice and tender and delicious My original intention was to eat half and save the other half for tomorrow but the little piggy in me NO! I ate every piece of chicken in that plate. Left the salad and chow fun but the rice and chicken were goners Will I be back. Of course I will but probably not until next quarter lol It was nice to see the same lady behind the counter. She's always so kind to my mom and I. Grace's may not have fancy decor but who cares it's all about the food My forever 5-star place read more
Stopped by for breakfast. There was a line but it moved quickly. Ordered the special of Portuguese sausage omelet with fried rice, two eggs with Portuguese sausage and rice and a side of pancake. After a short wait, we sat at the clean tables and consumed our meals. Everything was freshly made and consistent in quality. Condiments are available self serve at the order counter. Iced water is available upon request. There is no in restaurant restrooms. You need to obtain an access code for outdoor restrooms. Food 4 out of 5 stars Ambiance 3 out of 5 stars Service 4 out of 5 stars Support Local read more

I've been coming here off and on for years, but most recently came here for mainly the fried rice & breakfast. I really like the taste of this fried rice. It has 2-3 meats with green onions. It seems to be fried in the bacon fat than shoyu/oyster sauce base. I don't know but I really like it! You can buy the delicious fried rice by the scoop or order it in the breakfast plates and pay the upgrade from white rice to fried rice. The lady offered me toast instead of the eggs since I requested for no eggs. The Portuguese sausages were nice big slices and bacon was usually served on the soft side! Sometimes I just get one or two scoops of just the fried rice! Pancakes were fluffy too. Years ago, I always ordered the Oriental chicken salad. It had shredded iceberg lettuce with a lot of shredded chicken on top! I would request for the fried won ton strips on the side than on top so it would still be crunchy. The dressing was the winner! It was really delicious and simple but it was the only type of salad dressing that I am able to finish my salad!!! I must say the chicken katsu seems to be marinated before it was breaded . Chicken seemed to have a tasty ginger taste. My coworker liked their chicken katsu sauce. I used to buy their gift certificates before. It was a book of gift certificates and each one can be redeemed for a selected plates and a drink. A long time worker or manager, told me no more. The new owner also owns the restaurant Chodang. Now I see the new gift certificate has both Grace inn's & Seoul Cook. I couldn't figure it out at first until I learned the Chodang restaurant in Kaka'ako by SALT was now Seoul Cook. Don't know the details but the specials looked similar to the Chodang. If you want to dine in a casual setting with good breakfast, you can come here at Grace's Inn. Ample parking on both side of the restaurant. Located near Times Supermarket and Epi Bakery. Just remember they are closed on Wednesdays. read more
The oh so great homey comfort flavors of the past. Going here always reminds me of my dad.....we used to live down the road and he would always get us graces for pre-dinner french fries snack and/or plate lunches for dinner. The good food is just as I remember it some 25+ years ago. My favorite was always the teriyaki beef and all that teriyaki sauce goodness. That hasn't changed today haha. Their Teri beef is the softer saucy type vs the marinated grilled type. Teri beef on a bed of chow fun, rice, Asian slaw, and Mac salad. Their mac salad is not how I prefer it, haha, but its flavor is one of a kind and still quite enjoyable more-so if I didn't have it in a while, like last night. It's a more tangy Mac salad, like it's hit with a bit of pickle'g. It's been around for years, so it may not be my favorite, so it definitely registers top notch for others if they never changed it haha. All around good food that makes the tummy happy! read more
Grace's Inn long time local favorite. From humble beginnings (food truck serving food at University of Hawaii) to the current location on Beretania. Locally owned and operated. They serve a wide variety of local favorites. Chicken Katsu, Teri Pork, Teri Beef, to name just a few. Something we've always liked was that they always put some Chow Fun under your entree. All entrees come with your choice of salad, macaroni, Kim Chee, or greens. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Driving in from Kaneohe, I realized I needed to eat. I'd been eating all day and didn't think I'd be hungry, but it hit me, so why not stop here. There's a small shared parking lot and I had about 30 minutes before they closed. The woman working said they close at 9 and don't mind people coming in just before. Seriously didn't know what to get, so I ordered the mixed, and I didn't ask what was on it. I thought I asked for the roast pork. But the woman didn't say much, and I ended up with two dinners....which I did not mind at all. She did say the roast pork was really good. The mixed plate came with a delicious beef stew, teri beef, and tender roast beef smothered in gravy. The roast pork was smothered in gravy too! The dinners came with two scoops of white rice, and I asked for mac salad, but you get two sides, and she just gave me all mac. I didn't care for it because I think they use miracle whip which is a little sweeter. Other than that, everything was soooooo ONO!!! I'll definitely be back on my next visit! Mahalo Grace! read more
