    Chef's Special Menu 08.01.2025

    @fortunefoodfinds: "CEREAL-sly so fun! My kids highly enjoyed the Milk n' Cereal Pancakes from SCRATCH KITCHEN located at the South Shore Market in Ward Village. Colorful n' not too sweet, this was just the right keiki-friendly breakfast treat!" Staff: fully staffed Interior: spacious, could easily fit our large stroller Exterior: facing playground at Ward Village Wait time: 15 mins Parking: garage Overall comments: the milk n' cereal pancakes surely got the attention of my kids who had fun eating them! A stack of four pancakes n' comes with a milk syrup on the side. For me, syrup was needed bc the pancakes were on the dry side. Way plenty for one, enough to share n' even have leftovers to take home.

    Cajun Mac n cheese with bacon

    A great date night experience! Food was delicious, flavorful and filling. We ordered: Lilikoi bbq ribs - 5/5! The meat was cooked to perfection! It was so tender and fell off the bone. Delicious is an understatement. Highly recommend! Cajun Mac n cheese with bacon - another 5/5! Came out in a skillet, hot and perfectly seasoned. Scratch burger - we asked for medium and got that! The double patty was juicy and I loved the chipotle aioli! Oh! And I can't forget about the rosemary garlic smashed potato fries. Yum! Service was quick! We went around 5 on a Sunday evening and sat down immediately -- there's outdoor tables and tons of seating inside with a view of the kitchen.

    We came a bit before noon on a Friday (while on vacation) and although it was pretty busy, there were still a couple tables available. There was plenty of free parking in the shopping plaza parking structure. Our server was very friendly and helpful, although service in general seemed to be a bit slow. I had the Milk and cereal pancakes which were really good, it seemed like the milk they gave on the side was condensed milk which had a nice flavor. My husband had the Korean pulled pork sandwich (I believe it was one of the specials). He liked it but said the Gochujang flavor wasn't as strong as he expected. We also shared the Deep fried devil eggs which were super tasty, and made us wonder how exactly they deep fried the eggs. Overall we had a good brunch here (although some of the menu items seemed a bit pricey).

    CRISPY BRUSSELS

    Wow! I'm extremely amazed by this restaurant. Came here for brunch with my girls and they recommended this restaurant. I loved the opening seating concept and being able to see them prepare your food. They also had outdoor seating. The servers were super attentive to all our needs and made sure we had a pleasant stay throughout our entire visit. I tried a little of everything since I like to eat off everyone's plate & try different dishes at a new restaurant. Everything was delicious and portions were good. I really can't wait to come here again but for their dinner menu instead.

    Shrimp po boy. Very little shrimp. Mostly bread and lettuce. Definitely not proportionate. And I was hungry again 2 hours later.

    Went on a Sunday for lunch. Was told the wait would be 45 minutes, but got a text message in 25 minutes that a table was ready I like that they had that system set up. It took a while for someone to come and take our order, but that was OK . What really bothered me was the marked difference in time that they brought the dishes out. I ordered shrimp po boy and my friend ordered the burger. I was surprised that they didn't ask how she wanted the burger cooked. When it did finally come it was well done. if you prefer your burger medium, make a point to ask about that. The Po Boy came out pretty fast. My friend's burger came out when I was almost done eating my meal. It's really awkward to only have one dish at the table. Do you wait for the other dish to come and let your food get cold or do you eat while the other person watches you eat? I suspect her burger was given to the table next to us. They were seated after we had placed our orders, but the lady got a burger before everyone else at her table and before my friend got her burger. I regret not ordering the milk and cereal pancakes and perhaps I ordered the wrong thing, but I was really disappointed in the Po Boy. There was so much bread that the filling was inadequate. Lettuce filled most of the bread. There was a stingy scattering of small pieces of battered and fried shrimp and pickled onions sitting atop the mound of lettuce. This is definitely a dish I would not order again. I was hungry again two hours later. I really hoped I would like this place. Maybe I'll try again but with a different dish.

    Chicken sandwich and SCRATCH BENEDICT
    Jonathan T.

    Scratch was a lively and modern atmosphere with quick service. The chicken sandwich was flavorful and large. It needed a little extra sauce which I asked for on the side. The scratch Benedict with Kahlua pork needed some hot sauce which our server offered. I would recommend getting the yuzu lemonade, very refreshing! Keep in mind they include a 4% kitchen service fee and they need the whole party to be there before seating.

    Chicken and waffles with eggs. Great flavor, I'd leave the eggs off next tome.
    Ramiro H.

    Food is prepared in front of you with the open kitchen concept and the stiffness really welcoming. Food came out looking great and taste dud not disappoint! Menu has a ton of stuff so we'll be back to try more.

    cute spot in ward, easy & ample parking in south shore village. there's indoor and outdoor seating. we came on a thursday at around 10am and it was quiet, no line, but usually there's a wait. staff is friendly! we got the milk & cereal pancakes ($16) with fruity pebbles. they offered another choice of frosted flakes. huge portion, stack of four pancakes and topped with fresh fruits. the pancakes are thick but they're quite dry. the scratch benedict ($25) was so yummy. the english muffins they used were so yummy, not dry and biscuit-y. i also really like the avocado spread they put on the muffins. the eggs were cooked nicely, hollandaise sauce was also delicious. they used applewood smoked ham - it was thick, a bit on the saltier side, but good. i think the pricing was okay for a spot in ward, though the pancakes may be a little overpriced for what was offered.

    Lina C.

    Love this neighborhood gem serving delicious and unique food. Tasty escargot, Cajun garlic shrimp, bone marrow, lemonade, and save room for the milk n'cereal pancakes! They can make the pancakes for dinner time too, perfect for dessert. Friendly service and free parking.

    Mushroom Medley Grits $13
    Shay F.

    Now that I'm a mom, I appreciate the availability of high chairs, foods toddlers can eat, and the speed at which food is delivered. This place had it all. I got the mushroom grits. Yum. The kidlets got garlic rice and scrambled eggs. Everyone was happy. Free easy parking too!

    Mikey H.

    We just had a smashburger and a birria quesadilla, but what we really wanted were espresso martinis! Scratch's are some of the best! The perfect balance of two elements that we love!! We also shared a seared ahi salad which was alright this time around. Maybe my taste buds were off, but it didn't taste like the last time. We also had the waffle and mixed berries which was delicious! But again, the martinis are our favorite! Service was great! Always friendly and courteous, and they didn't mind how long we were there! Mahalo again Scratch!

    Calentado  Barbacoa, two sunny island eggs, garlic rice, chimichurri $24
    Nolan A.

    Had a quick brunch at around 9:30, When we arrived there were a lot of seats available and we were able to get seated without a reservation. I initially tried to order the CRABK CAKE BENEDICT but was told they couldn't do it, second option was SCRATCH BENEDICT couldn't do that either so maybe they didn't have the hollandaise. I asked what was popular and the waitress suggested "SPICY SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN N' WAFFLE, BRULEE'D FRENCH TOAST or the CALENTADO" my friend and I decided to share so we got the chicken and waffles and calentado. We enjoyed both dishes, but I think the chicken and waffles would be the dish I would order again. The chicken wasn't oily and the waffle was good, the waffles were a little on the soft side but still cooked through.

    Deep Fried Deviled Eggs
    Kisha P.

    So good and big potions we couldn't even finish our food. Also the music they play is great! Good food, good environment, good people! Oh we also ordered fried deviled eggs which we never tried before so so good hope we can find that in Texas.

    The brunch menu serves also as the lunch menu, they are one in the same.

    Do they still do their Taco Tuesday special?

    I don't think so

    I have been trying to call for over a week. There is either a busy signal or it rings 10+ with no answer. Any suggestions?

    From what I gather from their IG account (@scratch_wardhi) they are temporarily closed as of June 30 due to a family emergency. They said they would update on all of their social media outlets. That's all I know.

    Can we make reservations online? Also, how far in advance can I make a reservation?

    They do not take reservations for lunch but they do take reservations for dinner. You may also call when you're heading over to see how long of a wait it may be but not sure if they'll write you down on a list. The food is so delicious that it's… Read more

    Do they take reservations?

    When I called for brunch, was told they don't take reservations, but do for dinner

    What are the details on their happy hour? I know it's from 5pm to 6pm, but unsure what's included.

    Here's a link to our latest happy hour menu on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/BgVMJy5gV3i/

    Over an hour &half wait is it worth it?

    Here's a trick. Plan your visit around having to go to TJ Max or Nordstrom Rack. First put your name on the wait list then go do your shopping. They will call you on your mobile phone when your table is almost ready.… Read more

    Is the dinner menu the same as their lunch menu?

    No. The dinner menu is like a Southern Table menu with delicious and well-plated dishes such as: Smoked salmon Deviled Eggs, pork loin w/smoked green chili mac n'cheese & collards, oyster roast w/chorizo & Creole red beans & rice.

    Is it dog-friendly?

    PLEASE, leave your non-service pets at home. Mahalo EVERY other diner.

I still think tamafuji have the better crust imo (soft, airy, yet crispy bite ). You'll know what I mean if you are able to get a seat. This might be 2nd best breading on island. Gyukatsu 4/5 I really enjoy the Wagyu. It's meaty and buttery at the same time. Some Wagyu tends to be more buttery and fatty but this Wagyu has a good balance of both. I do wish the breading was fried a little more because I think it's not as fried compared to the other meats. You can tell it's lighter. Also compared to the other meats, the breading tends to fall apart. Shrimp 5/5 Great. Juicy. Crispy. Good breading. Chicken 5/5 Tender, juicy for a chicken, and crispy. Good breading. I can tell they put some effort into cooking this. If they did that with white meat, that's pretty good. Kurobata 5/5 Juicy. Good breading. I ordered individually because didn't want to risk getting the fat cuts. Good balance of lean meat and fat now. Service 2.5/5 I feel like they focus on larger parties more so than solo diners. Had to ask to get my water, miso, and rice refilled. Personally, I care more about the quality, effort, and taste of food and don't care too much about service and ambiance so that didn't bother me much.

We also tried the chicken katsu, which had a light, crisp breading and came with fluffy white rice topped with furikake. The side potato salad was refreshing with nice, chunky pieces of potato and not overly heavy. Perfect spot to grab quality food quickly before heading out to do other day-long activities.

The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.

It got a bit loud at times but we were still able to talk. The waitress was pretty attentive to us with refills on our drinks which was nice. The food was good tasting, especially the pork chop and garlic chicken. We ordered the family set that was able to feed 4-6 people that was the perfect amount. Parking at this location is a little tough. They offer valet or you can find street parking or there's a tiny garage lot that you can pay for. Overall a good experience.

    I Remember When…read more.... A tribute to icon, legendary Colin Nishida, founder, visionary, chef, friend - taken from us too early in life .... I remember Colin used to be the "kitchen mama" in one of the local bars Colin opened Side Street Inn on Hopaka Street, then a small (and I mean SMALL) little local bar with delicious local style foods Colin expanded the Hopaka street location but it was not enough.... Then Colin opens the Kapahulu location .... Then receives an award for great chef Then expanded further the Hopaka location and all the while.... His original fried rice and pork chops remain top of the list Yes, the menu has expanded, and the flavors remained very "local" Yes, it is pricey as today, there is no food dish that price is less than $20. This is a family style dining restaurant. For example. The original fried rice $26 feeds six people. Go figure! I won't beat this thing to death and will end it by saying Colin will always be missed, his food remains still same and tasty as he had designed it to be. Staff friendly as ever. Price? I've always been a believer that you get what you pay for and then some. Side street Inn is the epitome of you get what you pay for and then some Go there or be square

Proudly founded on the island of Kaua'i over 40 years ago in 1983. Defined by localized flavor profiles, a creamy and dense texture. Lappert's Hawai'i. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ An intense desire for cold, creamy sweetness on a warm afternoon. As a guest of the Hilton Hawaiian Village, pure comfort was found here twice. Lappert's Hawai'i, located in the resort's Rainbow Bazaar, overlooking the Hilton Lagoon from a distance. The Hawaiian heat and humidity began to soften my decadent scoop, dripping down my crispy waffle cone. My pace to enjoy each bite began to change, rushing to win the result of a delightful mess. On both occasions. Lappert's Kaua'i Pie on my first visit, Lappert's Kona Lava Java on the next. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Rich Kona coffee ice cream delivers an aromatic and bold sensory experience of sweet, sugary notes and robust roastiness. I can taste the density, luxurious notes of milk chocolate and toasted caramel. Coconut flakes scattered throughout brings a chewy texture and a deep nutty-sweet aroma, while a sweet-salty contrast is brought forward by oven roasted buttery Hawaiian macadamia nuts. Swirls of dark chocolate fudge finishes with intensity, a ganache-like bittersweet cocoa profile. This is their signature ice cream flavor, Lappert's Kaua'i Pie. I seriously became so excited, I missed the opportunity to photograph my cone. Lappert's Kaua'i Pie is a must for me on any visit. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Locally-grown Kona coffee from the Big Island of Hawai'i, the main ingredient of a supreme cold brew that shines in this signature ice cream flavor. It brings a smooth, bold and robust coffee flavor without the bitterness. I can taste the natural notes of dark chocolate and roasted nuts, softened by the rich creaminess of the dairy. Deep in-color, the dark chocolate sorbet folded-in gives me flavor depth in every bite from pure, unadulterated cocoa. Ever had a high-quality iced latte? Add a touch of sweetness and you'll get the flavor profile of this signature flavor, Lappert's Kona Lava Java. Indulgent, texturally dynamic, creamy sweetness. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Relaxing coastal breezes, the rustling of leaves from above.
