We ventured into Waikiki today. We rarely visit Waikiki. The lack of parking or the high cost of parking are one of the reasons. However, we were given a twenty-four hour validation and were reimbursed for the minimum fee, so we decided to seek lunch after our business.
Our host suggested here.
Sign
Jinroku (2427 Kuhio Avenue, Honolulu, Hawai’i). Not on the main drag, wouldn’t have found it on our own, our host walked us over.
In our opinion, dinner is a little pricey, but they offer plate lunch specials.
Lunch Specials
The Cat ordered grilled salmon, The Mouse ordered spicy pork. Since the prices were reasonable given we were in Waikiki, we also ordered the vegetarian plate (for veggies).
I don’t know what I was thinking about my spicy pork, but when the chef brought out thinly sliced belly pork and threw it on the flat-top, I started to get excited.
Teppan-Yaki Chef
Pork Belly!
Sorry, the picture just doesn’t do the belly pork justice.
Grilled Salmon
The Cat thought the fish was a little overcooked. While the salmon could have been rarer, I thought it was okay.
Spicy Pork
Belly pork, grilled with kimchi, fried egg, on a bed of rice. Side greens and macaroni salad. Socks off. I would definitely order this again. Better yet, I think I can make this at home. No flat-top, but I think this will work on the fry pan.
Vegetarian
Best part of this dish was the grated turnip on top of the tofu. Good amount of veggies.
Everything under thirty dollars, in Waikiki. relative cheap eats.
Enjoy. Eat well.
The Mouse
