Grandma G’s

At the mililani farmers market I tried the Teri beef fried rice Loco moco… pretty good nice thin slices of Teri beef & the char siu fried rice was good too… definitely satisfying breakfast at the farmers market

Heard about this place when I was doing my research for local Hawaiian foods in YouTube. Its at the KCC famers market in Honolulu on Saturdays only from 7 – 11:00 am only. Everything was great. Had the fried rice with Portuguese sausage and scramble eggs which was very delightful. Definitely worth checking them out.

Great breakfast on Sundays @ the Mililani Farmers Market! I always get their Teri hotdog with fried rice & two eggs over easy ($ 7); but this time I also added their Redondo Port. Sausage ($ 2 more) & side waffles ($ 4). They have a waffle maker & you get a huge waffle that covers the whole plate; with some butter & syrup, this was definitely better than IHOP’s waffles. Even the other vendors around them order their breakfast from them. :)

I have been a fan of Grandma G’s for probably a solid year now, first trying their plates at the Blaisdell Farmer’s Market. I now actually seek them out whenever I’m ono for their ahi creations (panko crusted fish, seared poke, furikake, and on and on). I was also happy to find out that their fried rice is just as good as the fish. I always always always received fast, helpful, and friendly service from Eric, Robyn, and their helpers. It was this great execution of food and flavors matched with helpful attentiveness that made it obvious to go to them when I needed to find a caterer for our canoe club’s fundraiser.
Say what you want about the food at the farmer’s market, but I have never been so delighted to work with caterers before Robyn and Eric. Robyn and I exchanged prompt emails to set up a menu. Robyn sent suggested menu items and even offered to come out and cook if we chose fish (which I very unfortunately couldn’t accept because our venue didn’t have a kitchen). She worked with me, my organization’s needs, and the event to come up with a creative and fun theme for the food. I was able to feed a crowd of 250 for easily under $ 2000. Not to mention there was TONS of leftovers.
Leading up to the event, Robyn and Eric were great about keeping in touch and talking about what we would need to provide and what they would be providing. They confirmed and double checked menu items and pricing within reasonable timeframes for my event and budget.
On the day of the event, they were on time and had the food hot and ready for us to go. They even let us borrow one of their cooler bags when they realized we didn’t have a cooler for the coleslaw. The food happily came with utensils (one less thing for me to worry about on that day).
All night and the weekend following I received compliments on the food (previous years the venues we used had lackluster food if it even lasted long enough for 50 people). I am so happy that I chose to go with Grandma G’s to cater our event. It was such a pleasant experience. I KNOW that I’ll go to them again and again. And I will definitely recommend them to other people looking for reasonable prices, sizable quantities, and great quality local favorites and twists.

Saw these guys at the Mililani farmers market and I’m giving them a good rating mostly due to their service. I really wanted to try their fried rice after reading great things about it but unfortunately it had pork in it and I don’t eat pork. They said they still had all the ingredients and they actually had turkey bacon so they were willing to make me a turkey bacon fried rice. I was so stoked and surprised they were willing to cater to my dietary needs and it came with a lot of rice that filled the container, two eggs, and they even laid two strips of turkey bacon on top. They were all so nice and I am so grateful for the wonderful service they provided!

I’ve had their food twice now. A Chicken w/​cheese sandwich that was like a grilled cheese sandwich but even more amazing and sweet bread french toast w/​fresh eggs and portuguese sausage.
This place doesn’t have amazing or unique recipes but what they do have is good simple classics made with fresh ingredients. They pay close attention to detail picking moist chicken and log cabin syrup. The details is what makes these comfort food classics taste so good. Definitely a fan.

my food dream would be to live within walking distance to the kcc market because (well, i’d be in hawaii for one) i could go over to grandma g’s and order up some kimchi fried rice.
it comes with eggs and a choice of portuguese sausage or spam. i went with spam. it was hella good. it’s better than my mom’s kimchi fried rice (sorry mom! don’t disown me…)
can’t beat the backdrop of eating on the curb, watching the fresh market food traffic, island breeze to your back, waters, and mountain…

I got the Kimchi Fried Rice with scrambled eggs and Portuguese sausage ($ 8). This was a well-​executed fried rice… all the flavors combined wonderfully. I caught the slightest tinge of heat from the kimchi, but it should not be anything that would send anyone racing to the water fountain. The scrambled eggs were cooked well, kept more intact than scrambled to pieces. The lack of any flavor in the eggs itself rendered them more of a side item, which was probably the point anyway (but I’m sure real genius eaters would have considered just incorporating the sausage and the eggs straight into the rice from the start). The Portuguese sausage was from Redondo’s. Very rich and delicious flavor here, but predictably, it does have oily and heavy aftereffects, at least for my tastes.
The portion size may have been a bit small for me (hey, I eat a lot), but overall, I’d still call this a successful breakfast dish.

Ever have someone buy food you didn’t order and pressure you to eating it? Well it didn’t take much pressure for me to eat a grilled cheese kalua pig sandwhich at Eat The Street because I like kalua pig, i like grilled cheese, so thank you very much. After eating the ‘ono sandwich I asked my homie who bought it where it was from. GRANDMA G’s! I have yet to go there and order strictly for me, but if that sandwich was the taste test I’ll gladly give it a go for sure!

Fresh and tasty seafood dishes. Always a good option if you come across them at the farmer’s market or eat the street. They are almost always at the Kailua Thursday night Farmer’s market. The Blackened Ahi or White Fish selection (with a slightly sweet sauce) are both great choices. It’s also nice that you have the option of brown rice to go along with your main and salad. Very friendly staff too. It’s a little pricey, but worth it.

Ok, so I can never find my other entry on Grandma G’s, so I’m posting my review here too. Plus some additions!
Delicious delicious delicious. My favorites, probably in rank order:
–Mochiko Chicken
–Kim Chee Fried Rice
–Boneless Kalbi
–Portuguese Sausage (whatever they do and use is so good)
–French Toast
–BBQ Chicken
–Regular Fried Rice
Don’t get me wrong, even the stuff at the bottom of this list is so good, but my stomach can only hold so much so when push comes to shove and I gotta prioritize, this is how I’d do it.
And the latest discover: every 2^nd and 4^th Tuesday, find them downtown at the Davies Pacific Center (Merchant and Bishop) for lunch 11am to 2pm… or whenever your stomach starts growling.
I was lucky enough to happen by Grandma G’s at the KCC farmer’s market one Saturday. They were originally out of french toast which looked like the big special, so I was a little sad and ordered the portuguese sausage and fried rice but then they said Oh wait, there’s some french toast. And then BAM. Wow, that was so good. It’s super thick french toast with just the perfect amount of batter – not too eggy, not too heavy and definitely not dry. The only thing I could have done with is maybe more powdered sugar, but that’s because I don’t use syrup. But it was a gargantuanly sized plate of french toast that came with portuguese sausage and eggs. And there was something about the portuguese sausage that was super yummy too. It didn’t just taste like the normal kind that I fry up in the morning sometimes. It was sweet and juicy and spice all at the same time. All for something like $ 8. Wow, I can’t wait to come back. I think I might actually try the fried rice next time because that looked yummy too, but it’ll be really hard to pass up the french toast again. Or maybe I’ll just eat both! I wish I could get a mixed plate fried rice and french toast plate.
Definitely worth checking out.

Super friendly and super good food. Save some for me!

The food was simply ONO. I has the French toast plate with portugese sausage and fried rice. The French toast slices are about an inch thick, the Portugese sausage was so juicy and not dry at all. I highly recommend trying their breakfast at KCC farmers market on Saturdays.

Walking around, trying to find a truck to eat at the Eat the Street Event, I noticed that Grandma Gs plate lunches looked good and didn’t have a long line yet, so I was able to give it a try since they always have a long line and don’t offer the fish plates at Merchant Street Market:
Spicy blackened Ahi — 4 stars — For $ 10, I got two rows of blackened Ahi. The ahi was fresh, but I didn’ treally care for the seasoning and the sauce too much. The mayo sauce was pretty spicy, and it totally cleaned my nose like wasabi does. I think I should have gone with my first choice of fresh seared ahi since I can’t stand horseradish or wasabi type of spicy. Choice or brown or white rice — a very healthy non-​oily meal.
Service — 5 stars — they were very friendly and waited for me to decide which plate to order, and the wait was pretty quick.
