et al.

TL;DRFantastic brunch spot!et al. Burger = ONO3 Egg Omelet = ONO-----My family has very much enjoyed our two brunches here. I was deciding between a 4-star and 5-star review, so I am ultimately rounding up from 4.5-stars.During our first visit, my wife and I shared the chopped salad, and I ordered the 3 egg omelet, which was delicious.During our most recent visit, we split the mochi waffle with my daughter, and I ordered the burger. The mochi waffle was good, not great. I prefer my waffles on the crunchier side, and this one fell a little flat. I think mochi waffles in general tend to be chewier, however, so I won't knock et al. that much.The burger was awesome. The patty was juicy and delicious, and the toppings complemented the meat well. I would highly recommend the burger if you are in the mood for it. The fries were also really, really good. Amazing texture and flavor. I'd come back to et al. just to have the burger and fries again.

Family Date Night! So that was hubs, baby and me. We had a gift card so was hoping it would cover everything, but the way i order it did not.I always like the vibe there...it's chill. First time the music was actually a little loud...or maybe just noticed it? Not like no-can-talk-stories kine loud, just noticeable. Started with drinks and some pupu, ordered din as quick as possible since baby was hungry.- Marrow - we have slaughtered cows and roasted our own marrow. I'm pretty sure restaurants take a little off before serving or else their cows are in desperate need of vitamins. Not much marrow in these bones. But still pretty good. Needs a little bowl of salt to sprinkle. Comes with little bread triangles. Some were a little too koge even for me...baby did not like those. She pounded the rest though. Think with some that feels oily doesn't need bread that's covered in oil. Was a little much. But still a decent dish.- Arancini - loooooove those. Didn't realize it was sitting on some chili sauce. Think that helps elevate it, but baby not a fan of the spice! Whoops.- Hubs had the lamb. He liked it. I don't do lamb. - I had the pork chop, without the sauce. Cooked perfectly. Without sauce it needs some salt. With the sauce is probably tasty, but waitress did say it's sweet so I wouldn't have liked it. But love a good pork chop. The brussels/onions it was on was deeeeelish!A good night. Everyone had enough to eat and we went home with some leftovers. Guess what baby had for lunch...

Have enjoyed every meal at Et al as the menu is local yet upscale. Food is tasty. Sometimes it can get crowded so be sure to make a reservation! Reservations can be made on the Open Table platform or by calling into the restaurant. Yes, they do answer their phone! And they do bend over backwards to accommodate reservations!On this last visit one of my friends had their braised beef locomoco and declared it the best he has ever had. The rest of us sampled the gravy. Have to say. It was darn good! I am in love with their chia seed parfait. And other friend had the crab Benedict. It was brunch and it was perfect.A previous time a group of us went to breakfast after participating in a service project in the neighborhood. It was early and yet we were well into our day so... when the server asked if we wanted to make our coffees "adult coffees". We all shouted yesss! And gotta tell you... they were the best coffee drinks! Lol.Looking forward to returning hopefully soon. Et al is located in the strip mall just across Kahala Mall. Entrance is inside the Kahala Market (owned by Foodland). Thanks for all the goodness Et al!

This place is a such chic restaurant that has a cool, modern and warm design. The menu is the perfect size, everything looks delicious and unique. Something for everyone whether you want an elevated pizza, sirloin steak, or Hawaiian style short ribs. A French vibe for sure, I opted for the bone marrow as an appetizer. Quite literally the BEST bone marrow I have ever had, such wonderful flavors!!! Service was excellent too. Highly recommend.

I've been wanting to visit Et Al. for quite some time after hearing great things, and Honolulu Restaurant Week was the perfect opportunity! Located in the Kuono Marketplace across from Kahala Mall, this upscale yet cozy restaurant delivered on all fronts.We easily made brunch reservations online via OpenTable (highly recommend, as the space is on the smaller side). When we arrived, the restaurant was bustling, and we waited about 10 minutes for our table--not an issue at all since we browsed Kahala MKT. next door.The special prix fixe menu for Honolulu Restaurant Week included an appetizer (Hawaiian Clam Chowder or Little Gem Salad), an entrée (Braised Short Rib Loco Moco, Breakfast Bowl, or Garlic Chicken and Mochi Waffle), and a Berry Mascarpone Bar for dessert.We both started with the Hawaiian Clam Chowder, a rich and creamy dish featuring 'ulu (breadfruit), smoked meat, tender clams, and perfectly grilled sourdough. It was a delightful island-inspired twist on a classic chowder.For entrées, we chose the Braised Short Rib Loco Moco and the Breakfast Bowl. The loco moco was everything I wanted for brunch: tender braised short rib smothered in a flavorful gravy, served with garlic rice, a sunny-side-up egg, and crispy onions. The Breakfast Bowl was equally delicious, combining crispy pork belly, a fried egg, creamy avocado, fresh tomatoes, charred kale, miso mushrooms, and chili oil over garlic rice, with a crunchy quinoa topping.Another member of our party ordered the Hamakua Mushroom Risotto from the regular brunch menu. It was comfort in a bowl--earthy shimeji mushrooms, aromatic truffle, and nori came together in a dish that was rich and satisfying without being heavy.For dessert, we were treated to the Berry Mascarpone Bar, which was the perfect finale to an amazing meal. The creamy mascarpone base was topped with a vibrant strawberry glaze, crisp meringue, and a unique basil crumble. We also ordered a scoop of Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato. The gelato was rich, silky, and indulgent, with the perfect balance of deep cocoa flavor and nutty sweetness.To round things off, I sipped on the Melon Fresca from the cocktail menu. This refreshing drink balanced honeydew, aloe liqueur, citron vodka, and Aperol with a hint of mint and coconut water.The service was warm and efficient, and despite the restaurant being busy, everything came out perfectly timed. The ambiance was modern and stylish but still welcoming, making it a great spot for a leisurely brunch.For the quality of food and the overall experience, the prix fixe price was more than reasonable. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

We had a wonderful celebratory dinner here at et al. It was our first time here and the restaurant is beautiful with high ceilings and nice decor. They sort of share the store-front with foodland, but they are their own restaurant so you don't even remotely feel like you're eating in a supermarket.We got a chopped salad, brined pork chops, a kids cheese pizza, and a braised short rib loco moco. Everything was perfect! Service was excellent as well.Desserts were also fantastic! The kids pizza came with a side of dessert and it was massive!! We really enjoyed everythingWe will definitely be back here!

Honolulu Restaurant Week Meal #1 I've dined here a few years ago and remember it being good, not exceptional or any stand outs. My opinion hasn't changed much since then after dining in for restaurant week.2 Dinner Prix Fixe $49 per person Appetizer Short Rib Arancini sweet peas, herb aioli, lemon zest, pecorino I've loved Aracini ever since my trip to Italy and this was delicious. The sweet pea puree added a nice addition with pieces of short rib inside. Recommend. Entrée Grilled Kona Kanpachi pak choy, sizzling chili soy broth, cilantro, garlic rice I chose the kanpachi as my entree and it had decent flavor. I enjoyed the side of garlic rice, complementing the tender fish and broth. Wish the portion was larger. & 12 oz Citrus Brined Pork Chop Brussels sprouts, pearl onion, sumac, curried apricot glaze, pomegranate reduction My partner chose the pork chop and enjoyed it. This is a more generous portion, so get this one if you're hungry for more. Tender and good flavor. Recommend.Dessert Berry Mascarpone Bar strawberry glaze, crisp meringue, basil crumble This was a bigger dessert than I thought. Usually pre fix comes with small bite as a dessert, but I actually ended up taking half home to enjoy later. Not too sweet (the best Asian compliment). I enjoyed the mascarpone cheese and berries brightened the flavors. Our service was slower, and dishes took much longer than expected. There was a small mishap with host when I checked in as well. I gave my name and then the host actually forgot about us (even though we were standing right behind her). A bit awkward but she apologized and sat us eventually. It was an overall decent experience. It was nice to try their more popular dishes for a deal with restaurant week for $49 ($67 value).

Happy Hour ReviewModern decor with lots of natural lighting. Clean spacious comfortable room with a large bar. Great service with quality happy hour food. We had almost every item on the HH menu except for the fries. Big Hits:Bone marrow served with grilled sourdough. Very "meaty" portion with lots of marrow and the pangrattato, added a wonderful gritty cheesy, salty texture. The Sliders with mini patties from the Honolulu Meat Co. were simple but delicious. You can just tell quality ground beef when you bite into it. The jang sauce pinched hit for ketchup and added a complex funk to the dish.The Arancini stuffed with braised short ribs on a thin bath of herb aioli were addicting. Slight crisp exterior. Creamy rice interior with an umami short rib finish. Not Our Fave:The Chicken with garlic soy glaze. A bit hard exterior and chewy. Awesome service from our friendly bartender. Lots of parking in front. Happy Eating!!

Came here for Restaurant Week. The menu looked too good to resist!! For starters, I had the Hawaiian Clam Chowder. It had three clams still in their shells on top. Fancy! lol. The chowder had lots of clams and was substantial, creamy, and delicious. I had the Breakfast Bowl and my DH had the Braised Short Rib Loco Moco. The bowl was like bibimbap and had so many flavors! They all worked really well together, except the avocado. That didn't match the bowl, but I love avocado anyway. I also loved the bit of crunch from the quinoa crunch; it was great texture. The Loco Moco was really good too. The meat was tender and the gravy was rich. The crispy onions gave good texture and flavor as well. For dessert, we had the Berry Marscapone Bar. It was so yummy and fresh! My DH particularly thought it was perfectly balanced with some salty to go with the sweet. I imagine that was the basil crumble? I would recommend coming here and having the Restaurant Week course menu! Even though is more than I'd normally order/eat, it was a good way to try a few things and a pretty good deal!

Hi all, this is a nice spot for a date. The service is nice but the food is not that good. It was cold and doesn't have enough spices to it. The parking is available and free. The place is not that's clean and the plates are dirty so they need to do more cleaning .Thx
