Hawaiian Restaurants near Milwaukie, OR

“We had our Company Christmas party at Ohanna Hawaiian Cafe and everyone that worked there was so gracious and helpful. We had a mix of ages and everyone found something to their liking on their menu. The food is fresh, delicious and huge servings. I had the Kahlúa pork with mac salad and white rice. So flavorful and filling. All our team and their family had a great time and we celebrated the holiday in style 💕 Thank you Ohana 🙏“

“love the food can’t stop going back“

“10/10. Do not come here unless you’re prepared to ruin Hawaiian food everywhere else forever. Everything I’ve had here is straight-up criminal. The Death Row Plate is my go-to, a stacked sampler loaded with Hurricane chicken, Korean fried chicken, and poke that will knock your balls clear across Pacific Hwy. Also… the grilled shrimp plate?? Absolute menace. I could eat 100 of them like candy and still be looking around for more. And the mac salad that comes with every plate? Should be illegal. I’m pretty sure it violates at least three laws. To top it off, the owner runs this place solo, in there every day, grinding, serving every plate herself until she sells out. And she sells out every single day. She’s born and raised Oahu, so you’re getting so you’re getting the real deal, no mainland shortcuts, no watered-down flavors, just straight island heat. Hours: 10–2…..Translation: show up early or cry in your car. 🫳🎤“

“We had Noho's cater our wedding and it was definitely the right move! Super flexible, took care of everything; Their team came to the venue vans loaded, set up, served, cleaned up... it was all included. We had them do our bar too and they did custom his/her drinks for us too. The team is incredibly nice and super flexible. We found out later that they actually filled everyone's water before dinner too. And of course, everything was delish. Our 'ohana was raving about the food. If you're looking for a taste of home for your event this is it.“

“Outstanding service with such delicous meals. Both our bowls were delicous and we ordered off the specials menu unaltered. Giant portions served quickly and presented super well.

So glad to have this as an option close by.“

“First time here and we will definitely be back again. My husband and daughter stopped in for some shave ice. Not too long after, my daughter accidentally dropped hers, leading to lots of tears. The person working came out, unbeknownst to us, with a replacement and reassurance. Thank you, it was very kind.“

“This place is da bomb. We definitely be going back. The best island food I’ve had here in Oregon. Highly recommend Nolan s place.“

“My absolute fave! Found this place by searching nearby food places. When I saw the 5⭐️rating I had to try it. It did not disappoint. It became my go-to place in Portland when I come visit.“

“Good people, great food. Wish I could put them in my pocket and move them back to Washington with me! 😭🥰🍱“

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

“Born and raised on the big island of Hawaii and will say Awesome experience! Good food and awesome staff! Recommend for sure“

“ALOHA ON A PLATE

I’ve made my Hawaiian food truck tour of Tigard and can firmly say Paradise Grindz is THE BEST. The Hawaiian Plate can feed two and is an excellent value providing a great mix of their scratch-made items. My family of four dined here for $50 with tip and left with full bellies.

If you are a lau lau fan, this is the best spot for housemade goodness wrapped in legit taro leaves. The garlic chicken is also fantastic and great if you’re craving a flavorful fried chicken. Poke is well seasoned and a great touch with the paradise bowl.

Mac salad is also a fave and perfect compliment to their dishes.

If you have young kids, this is the perfect pod to visit when it’s hot because they have a water fountain for the kids to play in.

Family that opens this spot is lovely and the keiki are so sweet.

Try these grindz and be sure to spread some Aloha.“

“By far and away, my most favorite eatery in Portland. Fried rice spam bowl is my favorite!! But their Kahlua pig and Shoyu chicken are top notch too. Friendly staff, and safe space. Mahalo Plenty.“

“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!“

“Good people, great food. Wish I could put them in my pocket and move them back to Washington with me! 😭🥰🍱“

“Super nice counterstaff, delicious takeaway food in a tiny hole in the wall kitchen. Bring a bag and be prepared to eat elsewhere, and watch your step inside there is an unexpected little step just inside the door so be careful entering and exiting! One party at a time, it is a really tiny little place... But you'll be glad you stopped by 😃“

“Recently had my second foray into Hale Pele. Overall, a fantastic experience that is better than nearly every tiki bar I have had to pleasure of haunting. However, the quality of the drinks were a step below my first visit (2024). We tried 15 drinks between the five of us. The Corn n' Oil in particular was a big miss. It looked and tasted like a glass full of ice and 1/2 ounce of bitters. There was no rum, certainly not an aged Bajan rum. I inquired with the waitress, and got nowhere. The wait between drinks and the frequency of visits by staff was also considerably longer than last time. Our fellow patrons, however, were wonderful as always.“

“Wanted to try some killer grindz today and this place delivered. We got the Hawaiian nachos, loaded Bulgogi fries and the katsu moco with pork. My favorite was the nachos by far. The katsu definitely needed the gravy it was a little dry. The Mac salad for me needed some more flavor. Everything else was on point. Can't wait to come back to try more.“

“By far and away, my most favorite eatery in Portland. Fried rice spam bowl is my favorite!! But their Kahlua pig and Shoyu chicken are top notch too. Friendly staff, and safe space. Mahalo Plenty.“

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

“I ❤️ pirate 🏴‍☠️ cuisines. I love anywhere you can throw peanut shells on the floor. I also love how when I go there that I have to have a red stripe beer. Well done!“

“SeaSweets Poke is my favorite restaurant in Oregon. Their staff is wonderful and the food is amazing!!“

“When living in Portland this was my default place to connect with a friend, or when I wanted to be around people while also reading or doing some work. The kava is always excellent, with minimal sleep disturbance like some of them can cause me.“

“We’ve been wanting to try this place for a couple months now and finally made it in. The owner was super friendly and the food was delish! There’s a handful of options available, and they have a bunch of sauces to pick from. I got the Maui Girl plate. I definitely recommend!“

“I tried for lunch one day and went back with my wife the next day so she could try. I will say first time I got the Macho King sauce it was not as spicy as I led to believe, but the next time it was hella spicy. Delicious either way, but may be a Russian roulette situation so be careful! The fries and whatever orange sauce they provide with them are outrageously good too. Very friendly staff.“

“I have always loved this place and it's hard to be too disappointed. The food today surprisingly wasn't as good as usual. The spam was burned on one side and uncooked on the other and the orange chicken was dry and chewy. Ultimately I still love this spot and I like the location.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Never written a review before but gotta share that this was super good. Honestly better than it needed to be and I’m thrilled about. I had the kalbi chicken with Mac. The dish was simple, no frills, but the cook on the chicken was excellent. The flavor was delish. Even the rice was perfect.

Thanks so much.“

“I go here about every 4 or 5 months with my gma and have for many years. We only get the Poke bowls as theyre her favorite. Though they were better 7 years ago, that isnt rly that big of a deal for me compared to how hard it seems to get thru a line if there is one present. I tend to find myself limiting my changes to 0 between me and my gmas bowls just to ensure a line doesnt form. The process takes significantly longer than something like subway, and the other items are overpriced. But for a small Poke bowl I guess there arent rly cheap options outside a quality belt sushi style restaurant.“

“SeaSweets Poke is my favorite restaurant in Oregon. Their staff is wonderful and the food is amazing!!“

“Kalbi chicken with macaroni salad splurge.“

“I love tiki bars and this one was fun. Great tiki drinks (pricey), but the vibes were amazing. We didn't try the food, but it looked all fried. We were there on Saturday and the huge karaoke section was packed. Very fun people and atmosphere. Would go back a few times!“

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

“It was great. Good food. We have a confusion about where we were supossed to stand to order so we had a person get helped before us. Other than that, great experience and great food. Worth a try for sure. You can tell the Bartender liked making the drinks. They were gorgeous and well done.“

“The jackfruit plate is fire!!“

“I ordered the Honolulu chicken. so much food, so much flavor. So much so that my brain stopped working, I couldn't do anything but enjoy the food. I take lunch for granted it's something I am forced to do to get my brain to stop bickering with me. But damn the food it shut it up fast, very much appreciate it.“

“I ordered the pineapple chicken the meat was pink and raw. Gross the prices went up the food quality went way down the help did not even seem to care. Never again“
