Catering! We ordered for an office lunch. Everyone loved it! I got in touch via email, which was very easy, responsive and helpful. We bought for about 50 people. We got a whole pan of rice, three 1/2 pans of meat (hurricane chicken, teriyaki chicken and Katsu chicken), one 1/2 pan of veggies, and one 1/2 pan of Mac salad, with some extra sauces. Next time we will definitely get one more 1/2 pan of meat, and do a full pan of vegetables. The people were lovely and helped me load it in the car. Very gracious, generous and pleasant to work with through ordering as well. I'm sure we will order from here again!

Got the hurricane and it was amazing. Second time eating here. I am ruined from any other hawaiian food place as I am not sure anyone can beat Hinas.

This was great. I can only comment on the chili because that's all I got, but it's really good. Better than Zippy's! They add bacon and the flavor is smoky and savory. I'll definitely be getting it again.

Absolutely fire, I will be back! I ordered the special of the day which was the Spicy Ahi Poke, also had to try the Korean BBQ chicken, and a combo plate of Garlic Chicken + Hurricane chicken. Portions are great, service was fantastic and the food was out pretty quick. Highly recommend if you're looking for Hawaiian food for lunch on the west side of town!

I have been meaning to try this place for some time. I should not have waited as long as I did because I've been missing out on some great food! The portions are huge. I got poke with Hurricane Chicken and both were amazing! The Mac Salad was perfect too! I will definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for some great food!

1000% recommend checking out Hina's! The food is exceptional with a generous portion size! They can sell out quickly so if you want to secure a meal make sure you go as close to open as you can. You may have to wait in line, but they keep it moving and any wait is very much worth it. The service is always very friendly, even during a rush! There are some tables outside near the cart and some inside with heaters during the colder months. The poké also travels well so you can certainly take it to go. I've been a couple times and have tried the Korean fried chicken and the poké, both absolutely delicious. In all honesty, my mouth is watering while I write this review.

The service is great. The owners of the food truck are always polite and very welcoming when you walk up to order, and the food always comes out hot and at a reasonable time. I've been here multiple times and the very first time I went here I fell in love with the Mac salad. It was the right amount of sweetness. But ever since I have been going there is no consistency with it, and I have started subbing it out for more rice instead. Some days sweet, bland, or way too salty. So just know it won't ever taste the same each time you go. The hurrikane chicken is very tough and not crunchy at all. They overcook it. The best dishes on their menu is the Teriyaki chicken (regular or spicy) and the Kalua pig which has a nice Smokey flavor and is always very tender.

I am always ono for Hina's!! The meat jun with the sauce is my go-to- it is P E R F E C T I O N. Chicken chicharron is also incredible. Hands down, one of the best plate lunches in the Portland area.
An authentic Hawaiian culinary experience awaits you at Hinas Island Grindz and Catering! The food here is simply exceptional. From the beef teriyaki I've savored a dozen times, to the katsu and Kalua pig my wife adores, every dish is consistently perfect. Recently, I ventured beyond my usual order and tried the Hurrikane chicken. The aroma alone was enough to tantalize any food lover. But the flavor? It was nothing short of spectacular! Imagine huge chunks of chicken, lightly battered and fried to crispy, juicy perfection. Each bite exploded with the taste of Hinas' sweet ginger soy sauce, a kick of spicy sriracha mayo, and a dusting of furikake. This masterpiece was served atop a generous bed of white rice, accompanied by the quintessential Hawaiian Mac salad. It was simply remarkable, a marvel I can't believe I hadn't tried sooner. Adding to the overall experience is her awesome and amazingly fast service. She is attentive and efficient, ensuring an awesome experience. For anyone seeking a taste of Hawaii, look no further. It is a food cart so be prepared to sit outside or in the "Garage" area which is really nice BTW. I'll end with this- Hinas Island Grindz and Catering offers an authentic Hawaiian dining experience that's worth every single star.

Ono Grindz ! Seriously broke da mouf! Have tried quite a few local spots ,Hawaiian restaurants, food carts around Portland surroundings and this one stands out. Now that I'm a vegetarian it was the temptation of the hurrikanes chicken and honestly it was worth it. Mac salad is on point and best I've had in a very long time . Rice cooked to perfection. What ever you doing sistah,keep it up. Will be back as everything was fresh and made with a smile.

I finally got to try this Hawaiian comfort food spot, and it exceeded my expectations. The food cart offers both outdoor and indoor seating with excellent service and a quick turnaround. The portions were massive but it was so flavorful I just kept eating. I opted for the Korean fried chicken, which was incredibly juicy with a flavorful breading. The accompanying mac and rice were equally satisfying. The prices felt reasonable, and I'm eager to return and explore more items on the menu. Overall, a delightful experience that I'll definitely repeat.
