Hawaiian Restaurants in Portland, OR

“This was on my tiki bar fanatic brother-in-law's list for his first time in Portland, and it did not disappoint! We got there right before it opened on a Friday, and it was a full house within the first half hour of being open, so I definitely recommend going early. I got two gin drinks--the Singapore sling and the moonlighter. Loved both although the Singapore sling was my favorite. My sister got the blue Hawaiian and the hurricane. My brother-in-law got the mai tai, the doctor funk, and the drink that came with the blue tiki mug. For food, we got two orders of the Hawaiian bread (had to get another order it was so good!) and the edamame. This was such a fun experience! A very welcome tropical escape from rainy Portland.“

“the food is amazing and the owner is really caring. hands down a great experience.“

“Comfort food at its finest. Guys working there are super chill and set us up with all their sauces. We took some time deciding what we wanted because all of it sounded so good. My brother got the trifecta combo and my husband and I each got the chicken sandwich. My only complaint is that the sandwiches were a little hard to pick up and eat just because they were so loaded. Don't let the website pictures fool you - these portions are huge (and the prices very affordable). My husband and I could have easily split one sandwich but instead have leftovers for tomorrow. :) everything just pairs well together. The menu has been well thought-out and I think we need to come back to try more!“

“Such a tiny spot we almost missed it. Just a counter with one worker, not a place to sit and eat or anything which I didn't realize going in. Ordered the plum and tuna which were both good. Their musubi was amazing though and I wish I had gotten more lol!“

“One of the best value (quantity and price) casual food spots in Portland. Since moving to this bigger location, they're way busier during lunch and dinner but thankfully the portions are still amazing. Pro tip: order ahead online if you're planning to be there between 11am-1pm or 5pm-8pm. When I dine in, I always order poke nachos or musubis cause those are quick and they get slammed with doordash/ubereats orders. Most entrees last me 2-4 meals depending on what it is. This is a chill spot to hang out and have a drink with friends. Can't wait for summer and their live music!“

“I purchased lunch for my team at work and every one of us couldn’t get enough. To quote one person “it’s like a flavor party in my mouth!” Is an understatement. All of the flavors were perfectly paired, and not overpowering with one or the other. I can’t wait to get more!“

“I love everything about this place 100/10 some of the best Hawaii food spot in Portland. The vibe the food the staff all of it was spot on and a great experience! Check it out bring some friends! Recommend the Kalibi short ribs and the Mac salad! Super yummy! And this gotta be some of the chicken katsu in town“

“Oregon’s first Kava bar! Both the Portland and Vancouver locations offer a chill vibe with various comfy seating areas. The decor is authentic and honors the South Pacific culture without being kitschy. The Portland location features reclaimed wood from Indonesia. The Washington location boasts a stunning living wall. The kava is prepared traditionally and served in a coconut shell. The owner has spent a lot of time in the South Pacific personally meeting with his growers. And no distractions like tv screens or pool tables like an actual bar. Instead they offer things like board games and a guitar if you are lucky enough to play. There is a real sense of community in both locations with fun activities monthly at each location. I also like that they have chosen not to also serve Kratom out of respect for the ceremonial history of kava. It’s an experience!“

“Kalbi chicken with macaroni salad splurge.“

“Been in Portland almost 5 years and I've never came here till now! I cannot believe I waited so long! It's such a cool place. The vibe is great. The karaoke is great. Food great. Bartenders great. It was a vibe for sure! Highly recommend.“

“Great fun food choices for an easy brunch before an event nearby. Name on table was a nice touch with our reservations. Easy casual space with upgraded food choices and nice touches. Would visit again. Our group had the benedict, teri burger, combo plate (ribs were great!), masubi and bibimbap bowl. All delicious.“

“Had mochiko chix last night. Returned tonight for the firecracker shrimp which I made the mistake of letting my sweetie try which is to say I lost half a meal? Fantastic food(flavor /portion ?),super cool owners(Marty &Steve),and a much welcome addition to the heist. Woodstock is lucky to have you ?“

“Their reply to this review was from my original review about hidden fees from ordering online, which they clarified is not through them. They were total sweethearts about the misunderstanding which was awesome.Finally went to go try their stuff and was blown away. Amazing food and the staff couldn't be more approachable and kind. You can tell ownership treats them very well. Is now one of my favorite places to eat on a long, long list of places in PDX.“

“The girls in Beaverton was friendly and very informative. Making my 1st time a great trip to remember. The poke was on point. Thank you“

“Omg such an innovative food cart! I love the fusion of Hawaiian and Portuguese flavors. Wil is a delight and his food is always hot and freshly made.The sausage and eggs are spectacular and the kalua pork is not to be missed! Grab yourself a mixed plate for here and a musubi to go!“

“Excellent sushi burritos at one of the best cart pods in town!“

“Great place for dinner. I get the large Teriyaki beef and take half home for lunch the next day“

“I’ve been eating here, 15 years, maybe even longer who knows but I’ve only had like Five problems One time I didn’t get the extra macaroni that I wanted another time I didn’t get the extra Sauces I paid for that I wantedAnd I do eat here a lot I get the same thing if not more every time I usually get two large dishes for myself and one for my woman she as well has eaten here that long as well born in Oregon This was the first time we got our dishes with no sauces you know that delicious Noho’s teriyaki sauce.. Don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t cooked literally off the grill but no sauces they always top it off with all the teriyaki sauce they’re homemade teriyaki sauce, which makes it delicious. Alex, the manager at the time that I did not know gave me five sauces. I got home open it up found out that my meat had no sauce and only the sauce that they gave me was the five packs that was gonna do me nothing I go through a lot of sauce I always pay extra for sauce because it’s so delicious and I would’ve paid extra if I would’ve known I got dried meat but sure I brought it back. They made me too brand dishes lots of sauce, they even gave me a full bottle brand new, not open bottle of their homemade sauce, and everything was made us even came Mac salad because that’s my favorite too thank you Alex put it in the dishes and making it right“

“I dunno, y'all. The food is dope af. Easy to eat low/no-carb if you choose, staff seemed chill and the food gets made with a quickness. Butter mochi is super dope.Vegetarian options: I'm only parroting what my vegan friend said, but she stated that options are pretty slim. I think it would be easy to eat Vegetarian here tho I think the meat protein options are what's up.Parking: you pretty much have to park on Woodstock south of 52nd so it's kind of inaccessible.Kid-friendliness: it's a restaurant. kids can be there.“

“Amazing catering experience. Super great Hawaiian cuisine and the delivery & set up(customer service) was exceptional. BTW, the sauces are super good! If your looking to host a party, don’t miss out on what the Local Grind has to offer.“

“Big Kahuna never fails on great BBQ!!!! The Mac salad is amazing like always..“

“Great drinks and food second time we have been there it’s great“

“Is it a bar trying to be a restaurant or a restaurant with a fairly large bar area? I struggle with this one on a couple of levels mostly because I live in the neighborhood and want to support the out of the box vibe of this place. The ambiance is rustic beach-shack-meets bistro with a festive backdrop which is pretty appealing in my view. It's certainly casual here. But between the saba fish tacos and the bollitos (black eye pea fritters) there's a lot of pretty unique, internationally influenced munchies as well and, yea, a solid happy hour too, with both food and drink options. Wes at the bar will hook you up with a proper cocktail - he knows his stuff - but if you don't sit at one of the stools up there, the booths in the lounge are still hella cozy. The strip mall location can be off-putting but give it a chance. I come here often for both food and drink.“

“Great bartenders, I love the staff. Cooks are fantastic as well, solid menu. I don't know why they haven't advertised their earlier hours. The lack of air conditioning makes the place uncomfortably hot as soon as the weather is nice. Even with blended drinks and a patio I would not like to spend any time there during the summer unless that issue is fixed.“

“A real gem in the university district! Having been to Hawaii and eaten authentic plate lunch I can assure you the other reviews are incorrect. The restaurant is clean and spacious. The food is prepared well, tastes excellent and is priced very reasonably for the large portions. Something hard to find in the area. Another rarity is the owners take the time to get to know their customers. You can expect to be asked if you want "the usual" if you dine more than a few times. It is refreshing to see hard working small business owners still making it work.“

“The service was fast and amazing❤The food was amazing.“

“I have only been to the Beaverton location and was excited to learn that there was another closer to me. I love their bowls so much. The only difference between the two spots is that Beaverton has a seared Albacore and this location doesn't. I still loved the raw tuna, but would love it if they also got the seared tuna. Friendly service!“

“Vegan options! and the mac salad is "accidentally" vegan!The first time I went it was absolutely incredible, talked about it for weeks. The 2nd time I went everything was a little on the bland side, so YEMV, tons of potential tho, I'll be back.“

“The best Hawaiian place!!! It’s consistently perfect every time we go here !! Thank you!!!“
