Monday May 25, 2026 first time, coming here. Private parking lot for a lot of food places. We didn't have a reservation. We were seated in 5-10 minutes. We came here for breakfast. But, they have a brunch menu instead. Service was fast and friendly. We both ordered the Braised Short Rib Loco Moco. Food came out shortly after. It looked good and tasted good too. The Braised Short Rib was super soft. Ambiance is casual and comfortable in here. read more

2 Stars Food: Unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment this visit. The menu has changed, and it seems the recipes have changed along with it. I ordered the avocado toast, which used to be one of my favorite items. The original version with the crema sauce was far superior to what they're serving now. The toast arrived overly burnt, making it difficult to eat, and somehow the bread was still cold despite being toasted. The overall dish lacked the flavor and quality I had come to expect from Et Al. Service: The service was equally disappointing. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I understand the importance of teamwork, especially in establishments that operate with a shared-tip system. During my visit, there was little to no acknowledgment from staff outside of my initial interaction. There seemed to be a lack of communication and support among the servers, and no one checked in to see how our meal was going. The floor managers were either absent or not visible enough to ensure service standards were being maintained. There was no table touch, no follow-up, and very little hospitality throughout the experience. Overall: Et Al used to be a place I would confidently recommend to friends and family, but based on this experience, I can no longer do so. The food quality and service have noticeably declined, making it difficult to justify a return visit. The reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because of Shay, the bartender. Shay has always been warm, friendly, and welcoming, and remains one of the bright spots of the establishment. Unfortunately, one great employee wasn't enough to make up for an otherwise disappointing experience. read more

I do like the vibe at et al. It's not very noisy and quite cozy. The chairs are comfy and the tables are well spaced apart. Service is usually hit or miss but when it's not too busy they are on top of things. They recently changed their menu and I must say that I'm not a fan of the new menu. I loved the soft shell crab Benedict or the power bowl with pork belly which are now off the menu. Rather than the ulu rosti they serve chunks of ulu which I didn't especially care for. Today I had the ahi tarte Benedict. The flavor of the ahi patties were good but I felt that everything was overdone. I must say that the only thing that was good on the plate was the English muffin under the Benedict...which I think is kind of sad. The eggs were poached overdone that the middle was not runny like how poached eggs should be. It did come with salad but instead I wanted to try the ulu, big mistake. I didn't like the flavor of them and it was a little hard and dry. The ahi patties were also dry. I asked for the brown butter hollandsise on the side which had a nice flavor but was super thick it was like putting paste on the Benedict. I am willing to give et al another try but i wish they would bring their old menu back. read more

We chose this location due to a friend's recommendation. We reviewed the menu online before arriving, so we knew what we wanted to order. When we got there, they gave us a lunch menu and told us they changed the menu that day. It was their first day with a new menu and hadn't updated their website yet. My heart was set on the garlic chicken and mochi waffles so I was upset cause the lunch menu wasn't my jam. However, the server informed the manager, and he was able to accommodate my request for the chicken and waffles. I was really appreciative that they were able to do that! Had a nice meal and tasty drinks. read more

This is now my favorite meal at this restaurant. I am a pescatarian, so I get this at least twice a week. It's so good. I highly recommend it if you like fish. The service is always great. Never really busy when I go in, typically go in around 830-900 on the weekends without a reservation. My boyfriend gets the Loco Moco (he thinks it's one of the best on the island). The restaurant is located inside Foodland, but it's a really nice, clean, aesthetically pleasing place inside My only issue is that I try to call and order ahead for a to-go order, but I can rarely get through. read more

We came on Mother's Day during brunch hours so the service was a bit slow as expected. The food took about 25 minutes to come out after ordering and we got the fresh catch, clam chowder, and lobster roll. The lobster roll...while it had a generous portion of lobster meat, some pieces tasted a bit..off. Like slightly stinky after taste. And too much mayo/sauce on the bottom made it feel like a soggy $45 mayonnaise sandwich. The fries and clam chowder were really good though. My water was also empty and no one came to refill it until after we asked for the check. Overall not bad but could be better read more

et al. kept coming up on our search for great food in Kahala, we were not disappointed. We slipped in for an early dinner 5-:530 ish. We sat at the bar, though there was one table open. The place was full with a wait when we left. We chose beer from their local brews and watched the assembly of unique hand crafted cocktails. I had the mushroom rissoto. It was hearty and delicious. Hubby had the short rib loco moco. We were in heaven with this meal. The bartender was pleasant and efficient and quite busy. Our food came out quickly. The staff are all smiling and eager to please. The biggest surprise was that this is attached to Foodland. A plus for us because we needed a few things after dinner. The decor is upscale and the atmosphere was inviting .Prices are in line with the area. read more

I've always wanted to try this place out and I was glad I did. We ordered the Maui Beets, Tagliatelle, and et al. Burger. The beets were just so yummy. They had a tangy sauce that was bright and lively and paired well with the earthy beets. The tagilatelle was also good, but quite small for the price. Finally, the burger was good, kind of your average burger but the fires where AMAZING, super crispy. I think this place is good but its pretty expensive for the amount of food you get. read more

I went here for my birthday dinner because I've heard great things about et al. They did not disappoint !! This mushroom risotto was so good I couldn't stop eating it. It has a very strong and nice flavor, adding chicken on top helped balance out the flavors nicely as well. The staff was very attentive and gave us great recommendations from the menu. Not to mention, the restaurant is SO beautiful. It has to be the nicest restaurant I have seen in a while and I love the elegant feel. read more

et al. - Truffle Hamakua Mushroom Risotto - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I came here after graduation with some friends, we walked in with no reservation and were able to get seated fairly quickly. However, I would say if you wanted "good" seating, I would recommend reserving a spot as we had to settle for the large shared table in the middle of the establishment, sitting between two different parties. The service was okay, nothing exceptional. We ordered: * Et Al Burger: 10/10, my friend ordered this and he said it was very good. The meat was done perfectly (medium rare) and the fries were a good pairing. * Chicken & Waffles: 10/10, my other friend ordered this and we all got to try a bite. The black sesame butter was perfection and amazing addition to the waffles and syrup. The chicken also came with like a Korean fried chicken syrup (kind of reminds me of zippys iykyk). * Short Rib Loco Moco: 8/10. I got this, it was okay, it was flavorful but the short rib / gravy flavor wasn't really appealing to me in that moment. I liked the fried onions which helped to break up the textures. * Soft-Shell Crab Benedict: 9/10. Another of my friends got this and I got to have a bite. I think this was pretty good and I liked all aspects of it (especially the side of hashbrowns hah). Our main critique was the small portion, as most people I've been that served benedict dishes would have two benedicts not just one. Overall, I would recommend this spot to others. I don't think I would personally come back though, as there weren't many items that sparked my interest (maybe besides the chicken & waffles, which I got to try already this time) and the price point/ portion don't particular draw me in. read more

Service was actually really good, which almost makes me feel bad for leaving a not-so-amazing review. The restaurant is located inside the Kahala Foodland Market with lots of parking, which is a big plus. It's a small, cute spot with great colors and thoughtful seating arrangements. The bar area is especially cute. My friend and I came for pau hana during happy hour, which runs daily from 2:30 to 5 p.m. We ended up ordering almost everything on the happy hour menu, as we usually do. The fries were honestly the only standout for us. You really can't go wrong with fries, and these were solid--crispy, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The arancini didn't quite hit for me. They were a bit soggy and lacked flavor, with a slight bitter aftertaste that threw things off. The chicken was also somewhat soggy. We were expecting something closer to crispy, crunchy Korean fried chicken, so this may have just been a misunderstanding on our part, but it wasn't what we were hoping for. The sliders were decent. Simple and straightforward--nothing bad, nothing amazing. They definitely could've used some ketchup or an extra sauce for more flavor. The bone marrow was very oily, which is expected, but the texture was a little off. It felt rubbery and was harder to eat than usual. I've had marrow many times and usually love it, so this one was a bit disappointing. The grilled sourdough that came with it, though, was good. My friend ordered a cocktail (I can't remember the name), but she really enjoyed it--and it was super cute, pink, and pretty. Overall, the space is lovely and the service was attentive and kind. While the food didn't fully land for us this time, I'd still consider coming back to try other items, especially given the great service and convenient location. read more

Went for lunch and the food was great! This was my second time here. Last time I ordered the risotto and it was so delicious but I wanted to try something else this time. I ordered the soft shell crab egg Benedict and it was so yummy. All the flavors really went well together. It also game with an ulu and potato rostini (similar to hash browns.) While the flavors were good, it was very hard and difficult to eat. It's a pretty small restaurant, but very nice ambiance and the tables are spread out enough to where you don't feel too crowded. The service was also good and our server was able to give us good recommendations on what to order. read more

et al. - Crispy Soft-Shell Crab Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is a conveniently located, lively restaurant within the Kahala market place under the freeway. It is crowded but gives you an excuse to browse in the adjacent poke and dessert sections in the market as you wait. Service is excellent and there is a full bar. They also have their own signature cocktails. There are tables as well as counter high tables in the bar. We sat at a table but the bar scene was enticing. Now the food... Maui beets were a tasty starter. The beets were crunchy and fresh and we added on arugula to complete the salad. It comes with oranges and a tangy lemon pesto dressing. Also has pistachios for texture and chèvre for a creamy funk. The braised short rib loco moco was one of the best loco interpretations I've tasted. The gravy was thick and umami and complemented the garlic rice. Also had a large piece of succulent short rib. The citrus brined pork chop was generous portioned but slightly dry. It is prepared medium well but I have trichinosis paranoia so was ok with the temperature. The apricot glaze and pomegranate reduction was flavorful. The chopped salad with chicken truffle sherry vinaigrette was average. Definitely would opt for the beet salad next time. Definitely will return and sample other drinks and dishes. read more

One of the best meals I have ever had in Hawaii. The flavors and thoughtfulness reminded me of some of the best farm-to-table SoCal restaurants. I went for Valentine's Day and it was a wonderful meal! We ordered the salad, a soup, the burger, a pasta and drinks. Highly recommend for special occasions or just to treat yourself! The cocktails also stood out to me, definitely worth the splurge. The service was also noticeably impressive, despite being a busy dinner rush for the occasion. This place is a hidden gem, and while I hope the word doesn't get out too fast so I can still book a table with ease....I won't gatekeep what has become a standout Oahu restaurant! read more

Et Al had all the makings of a great night out--reservations were a breeze through OpenTable, we were seated immediately, and parking was conveniently easy--but the rest of the evening felt like a comedy of errors with a 2-star punchline. The only true winner was the $14 Maui Beets starter: fresh red and yellow beets and radish paired with sweet Land Farm chevre, orange segments, pistachios, and lemon basil pesto in a perfect symphony of salt, acid, and crunch that felt like a match made in heaven. Everything else? Downhill fast. My $37 Grilled Kona Kanpachi arrived with the skin still on (not my thing at all), swimming in a sizzling chili soy broth with pak choy, cilantro, and garlic rice that sounded way more exciting on the menu than it tasted in reality--just underwhelming and hard to enjoy. My friend's $35 Citrus Brined Pork Chop with Brussels sprouts, pearl onions, sumac, curried apricot glaze, and pomegranate reduction was dry and tough (I tried a bite and fully agreed), and to top it off, they completely forgot her side of fingerling potatoes; by the time they finally arrived, the meal was nearly over and they felt almost pointless. All the while, the deafening noise level--laughter and conversations ricocheting off every wall--forced us to literally shout across the table just to hear each other. Service was painfully slow, adding insult to injury in the chaotic din. The lone redemption for my friend came at dessert with the chocolate macadamia nut tart drizzled in lilikoi sauce (we got it à la mode), which she adored even if it was tooth-achingly sweet for me. Et Al has flashes of brilliance, but between the noise, sluggish pacing, and mostly disappointing plates, it felt more like an endurance test than a relaxing dinner. I wanted to love it, but two stars is the honest verdict--so proceed with tempered expectations! read more

Always look forward to dining at Et.al. on this occasion, really celebrating nothing except friendship. Still, our server Ryan made us all feel special and valued as customers. Loved all the suggestions that Ryan made. We ended up getting most of them. Can't wait to "attempt to recreate that burrata appetizer. Loved the truffle sherry dressing on vegetable salad. And that gnocchi knocked the ball right out of the park! We enjoyed our time so much that am sure we overstayed our visit. Still, never felt rushed.

This was a must when back visiting to Hawaii as my boyfriend raved about this place! We ordered - Short Rib Aranci - The sweet peas add the most delectable crunch while also having a crispy exterior once you bite, accompanied with a bright green sauce that perfectly compliments the meal. Bone Marrow - 10/10 not sure what else to say except for TRY THIS. The caper berries on the side were so amazing I had asked for some to go! Forgot the name (some sort of fried chicken) - Insanely flavorful, even the crumbs were cleaned up from the plate. read more

Great neighborhood joint inside of Foodland Kahala MKT across from Zippys. Plenty of free parking in the lot. They have a lot of menus - brunch/lunch, dinner, happy hour, bar, dessert. Drinks are good, actually pretty strong. Arancini is bomb but pricey, even on happy hour as there's just 3 I believe. The burger is good, salad is solid, fries are crispy/tasty, the risotto is magic - definitely get that. Oh and get the lilikoi macadamia tart thing. Lilikoi caramel! Who knew? So 'ono! I wish they had Paradise Ciders Guava Lava instead of the Killah Dragon though! Would be dangerous and I'd be there a lot more often! Came here for a few dinners/happy hours.

3rd time here for lunch. Solid burger and risotto! The cheeseburger & fries are truly delicious. The quality of the patty, the toppings are all working together and the housemade bun stood up. The fries are crispy and well seasoned. The mushroom risotto is usually terrific (today it was a touch gummy and over seasoned). The mushroom flavor is soooooo good! Had the short rib loco moco. It was pretty tasty. The menu said garlic rice but I couldn't taste any garlic flavor. We tried the bulgogi pizza and WoW it was yummy! The kim chi and sauce and cheese were such a good flavor combination. Usually the service is very attentive. Today was crazy busy with large parties. The big, bright dining area is very pleasant. We joined the waiting list and were 45 minutes to an quoted an hour & 1/2. Though I never got a text, we returned at the hour & 1/2 mark and there were lots of tables available. After such a massive lunch rush, I think the staff had a lot of catching up to do. After being sat, we waited a while for a server to take our order. Thankfully, the food came out in a reasonable fashion. Even with the service not being quite as good as usual, we still enjoy this restaurant. read more

Came here for lunch, but after reading the reviews and seeing how busy it gets during lunch when I would pass by, I definitely have to swing by and try brunch too. I was pregnant at the time so anything undercooked, I had to stay away from. With an already limited menu, I decided to get the chicken and waffles because (1) it's mochi waffles and (2) garlic chicken, but (3) black sesame butter?? Whaaaat? Long story short, what a knockout combo! I need a whole carton of that black sesame butter; everything paired so well together! The chicken was made to perfection and the garlic flavor was present, but complimented the taste of the sesame butter. The mochi waffles were also very neutral flavor which is great to allow the other layers to rise to the top and shine through. I really, really, really, have to get it again. And I don't know if it's because I PP now, but I would buy it again in a heartbeat even though I don't have to worry about what I eat anymore. As far as the ambiance, it's a small and intimate restaurant tucked away on the side of a small grocery store. At night, the tables a lightly lit with small candles. Not the best place to accommodate large groups, there was about 12 of us, so we were squished but they still accommodated, but we definitely hit the threshold of what was possible. The servers were also great, personable, and professional. It's so great to see servers who do a great balance of having fun with guests, not be so stiff, and maintain professionalism. read more

We made a reservation online for 5 people at 7 PM on a Thursday. Our table wasn't quite ready when we arrived, but that gave us time to browse around the store (it's located inside the Kahala Market). There is a parking lot outside. We ordered a variety of dishes to share family-style, and everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor: Big Island Bone Marrow - Rich, savory, and full of umami. It comes with 3 pieces of bread but we recommend asking for enough slices for everyone in your party so they can enjoy a taste. If you haven't had bone marrow before, you'd treat like butter and spread it on the toast. Short Rib Arancini - Our favorite dish of the night! Crispy outside, tender risotto inside. Comes with 3 pieces, but we recommend asking for more to match your group size. Hamakua Mushroom Risotto - Deep, savory flavor that tasted like it was made with beef stock. It paired perfectly with our steak. The mushrooms added some earthiness. 12 oz USDA Choice NY Striploin - Cooked medium rare, super tender, and juicy. The broccolini and potatoes it came with soaked up the sauce wonderfully. Et Al. Chopped Salad - A refreshing and bright contrast to the richness of our other dishes. You can add protein but we kept ours plain. Ube Pave - it's like cake-pie hybrid. We loved the texture and the freeze-dried marshmallows. Haupia Gelato - Paired with the ube pave as suggested by our waitress and it was a great combo! Summer Berry Mascarpone Bar - Like a lighter take on cheesecake. Not too dense, with a nice pop of brightness from the berries. Portions are good for one person or easy to share between two, making it perfect for a date night. If you're bringing a group and trying to family-style, definitely ordering additional pieces or more dishes is recommended. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable with great suggestions. read more

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night to stamp our dinning passport and service and food was great! Both my boyfriend and I have been here before and it's always been enjoyable. Small restaurant located inside of foodland farms in kahala. Since it was a weeknight we didn't need reservations but reservations can be made on open table. Parking lot is shared with a bunch of other businesses, when we went had plenty parking but during weekends/busy times the lot might be full. Cocktails- Melon Fresca and espresso martini Both tasted great! I felt like the melon Fresca had more of a cantaloupe taste than honeydew though Food- Hawaiian clam chowder, crispy skin king salmon, hamakua mushroom risotto, and braised short rib loco moco. Everything tasted great! One of my favorite risottos on the island because of the truffle flavoring! Salmon was also cooked perfectly! Well seasoned and tender! read more

It's a solid casual brunch/lunch spot but not my first choice. But in this area, it's a good option otherwise it's Chilis, CPK, etc. Service is friendly I like the loco moco a lot. I would order this every time. The avocado toast is good but when I had it before they used to put BABY CORN on it, like the kind from a can that you usually only got on chop suey stuff. Does not work for me. But I have seen that some now come with what looks like fresh corn (not baby corn) sprinkled on top instead. I like the arancino appetizers a lot. The rigatoni is ok and not something I think I want to order again. I keep hoping it will be better The breakfast bowl is good and sounds like a health food bowl but it's tasty. Parking at this place has been getting increasingly terrible at crowded times, so plan ahead that parking may be a challenge. Need a bathroom code to go outside at the bathroom down the hall. read more

My go-to is the lobster roll with fries! It's one of few places that consistently serve lobster rolls, but they do charge at market price!

We had high hopes coming in, but overall, the food didn't quite live up to the hype. The portions were generous, but most dishes fell a bit flat in flavor. What we ordered: * Braised Short Rib Loco Moco * Tagliatelle * Big Island Bone Marrow * Chocolate Macadamia Tart The braised short rib loco moco was the standout of the night as it was tender, rich, and comforting. Unfortunately, everything else missed the mark. The tagliatelle was pretty bland, the tart came out overly salty, and the bone marrow lacked depth of flavor (plus only four slices of bread for three bones felt a bit sparse). Service was fine and the restaurant itself was nice and clean, but for the price point, we expected more consistency in execution. Not a bad experience overall, but probably not one we'd rush back for. read more

This is a cute, nicely vibed place to gather for brunch. Four of my work colleagues and I met up for brunch today (Monday) for an 8:30 brunch time. This place is located in the Foodland Kahala Market (grocery store). It is small and quaint with amazing friendly and professional staff. We were quickly greeted and sat with a one-page brunch menu with a plethora of options for any pallet. Once the coffee was served (may I add that Autumn and the serving team kept refilling our cups with bottomless cups of caffeine), we were able to dive into the menu options. The mochi waffles were amazing with 4 large waffle pieces! One of the co-workers ordered them with strawberries and blueberries topped with whipped cream. Nice!!!! Two other coworkers ordered the 3-egg omelette with ulu roasti (an amazing breadfruit take on hashbrowns). Very savory and didn't disappoint. The final dish was the breakfast bowl. et al does a fabulous job in substitution options. I ordered it with tofu (instead of pork belly) and a poached egg (instead of fried). While the poached egg was over cooked, the overall dish was wonderfully assembled with carrots, avocados, tomatoes, mushrooms, charred kale and 'quinoa crunch'. Everything was amazing, and a great place for a work gathering. There was a robust cocktail menu - of which I look forward to partaking in my next visit! One last note, if you want water, you have to ask for it as it is not automatically served. Great place! Look forward to visiting it again. read more
