Waioli Grill Cafe - Honolulu

Food is great. This place is fucked in the corner of a small parking lot. Your bone marrow bibimbap is something I would recommend. The cattle tongue skewers and the university over Bratbeef.

Stopped in for a drink while I did laundry at Kapahulu laundromat. At first it seemed their bar knowledge was limited so I settled for Suntory Toki on the rocks. But then they taught me about how shochu oolong is a typical drink in Japan, so I tried their mamaki lilikoi hi a nice local interpretation! As a complimentary bar snack, they served chilled summer baby bok choy (literally the coolest complimentary bar snack I've ever been served). There was a mix up in the kitchen, so they gave me the thick cut beef tongue (came with a miso pickled jalapeno instead of the listed pickled Chinese cabbage. A refreshing difference of sweet heat salty flavor combo). Would love to come back and give their food a try...and for happy hour!

Tasty traditional Japanese food with nice cuts of fish. Nice atmosphere with great service as well.

Had the bone marrow bibimbap tonight and some Yuri sorbet! Both were delicious! The prices and service were great! Highly recommend!

This new café offers outstanding value for money. For just $16, you can enjoy a high-quality Japanese lunch set in a stylish mid-century modern atmosphere. The food is delicious; both the Vichyssoise and Minestrone soups are fantastic, as are the chicken namban and miso broiled salmon. Highly recommended!
