Hina’s Island Grindz and Catering

Simply the Best

My favorite part of my experience was waiting in line and seeing the owner's interaction with all of her customers. She was so lovely and also efficient and great at communicating wait times. I got the death row plate for $28 and it was out of this world. With that one order you get one scoop of mac salad, 2 scoops rice, a hefty and generous portion of hurrikane chicken and korean fried chicken as well as more than 8 oz of spicy ahi poke. With all of the food piled in the container, you can't even close the tray. The portion would easily satisfy four grown adults!

The korean fried chicken stole the show. You could see her in the back of her cart frying the chicken in front of you. The crisp, the flavor, the moistness of the chicken all perfectly combined for an amazing bite. My other favorite part of the plate was the ahi poke. Her pieces were so large and generous and the seasoning was spectacular. I don't know what her marinade is but it's no ordinary marinade! I loved how light and refreshing it was and it paired perfectly with the fish. Maybe it's a yuzu soy?

On a side note, the owner kept apologizing for the long wait time but she truly did not need to! The total time spent waiting in line to order and get my food was only 25 minutes! She's doing such an amazing job and I want to keep supporting her business! I will definitely come back!

I'm just saying if you haven't tried this place you don't know what you're missing she is so sweet and the best food I've had a long time!!

Spectacular. Worth the drive

Worth the wait 100%. Best chicken Katsu I've ever had, and everything else is top notch. We drive 25 minutes to get here and it's worth it every time.

Great food, friendly staff (if you aren't preoccupied on your phone), and great food. I grabbed the garlic shrimp/hurikane chicken combo. Great food with generous portions, my photos do not do it justice. Be prepared for a wait, and don't be on your phone at the front of the line.

I will be back again for a different meat selection, might bring a friend and go Kanaka Nui.

GOOD FOOD. 👍🏻

I can not recommend this place enough. If you show up at 12:30 expecting to get food you will be in for a surprise. Come early and expect to stand in line.

I had heard about Hina’s for a while but hadn’t allocated the time to go. The food, and customer service was phenomenal! Will be coming back regularly

Ok.. so I just ate here for the first time and im kicking myself for not making it happen sooner. First of all, the food is delicious! Second, it was really quick to get my order. And 3rd the person working there was super cool.

There's a few things I need to say:
1.If more food places on the west side of the river were like Hina's, nobody would drive to Portland east side for food.
2. Hina's puts the MAC in SMACKDOWN, because out of all the Hawaiian food joints in town, Hina's mac salad actually has flavor, and a decent ingredient list- I saw egg and finely diced carrot in there. Everywhere else is a huge disappointment in this department.
3. I honestly don't want to ever go to a Roxys again now that I know Hina's is here.
4. The food portion was absolutely out of control and that is 100% the way to go

Hina's island grindz is top dog for Hawaiian in portland metro. Like the terminator, ill be back 🤙🏼

Wonderful service, incredible food! It was our first time trying it, and I know we will be back! Great flavors, great mac salad! Can’t wait to try something new!

Good food for fair price! Had the Kalua pork, the hurricane chicken, korean fried chicken, and their goji jun all very good! The chicken and beef had crispy crust and tender juicy inside! Pork had a bit of a smoked flavor and was very tender!
