Taormina Sicilian Cuisine

Taormina Sicilian Cuisine is located on the ground level of Wyndham on Waikiki Beach Walk. They offer a prix fixe lunch consisting of 4 items for $45. Most of the items on their menu contain seafood and it's Japanese Italian fusion. The prix fixe is a good way of trying some of their signature dishes. If you're okay with spending more on a meal, I suggest the dinner tasting menu for $85. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is really nice but if you prefer quiet then choose indoors instead. The service is excellent and they give a reasonable amount of food. If you have a special occasion to celebrate, I would recommend coming here.

Ethel's Grill

Ethel's Grill is one of the best hole in wall spots I've found. They are known for Okinawan food and the tataki sashimi. I highly recommend a side order of the tataki sashimi and the taco rice. The portions are good for sharing and the prices are reasonable. They give you small salad and miso soup when you order the plates.

They are located in Kalihi on the first level of a residential building; the outside of the shop is painted red. The inside of the restaurant is small and the tables are set up for 4. If you have more than 4 in your group, you should separate or do take out. It doesn't matter what time of day you come because they are always busy and they don't take reservations. They have 4 parking spaces inside the building but if you get lucky you might get street parking. They only accept cash.
