Hawaiian Restaurants in Portland, OR

“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.“

“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 atmosphere is AMAZING! 2nd time coming and truly a vibe. Both time staff has been wonderful! Remi and Jasmine were such great time and so knowledgeable as well. Didn’t get to try the food yet, so we definitely will be back for that🤍“

“Quite simply one of the best meals I've had. My family and I came to Portland for a short vacation and headed here not long after we landed. We ordered way too much food, but it was all insanely good. Excellent value for money as well. The staff who served us were really cool. Definitely check this place out if you don't know it.“

“Combo plate lets you pick 2 items!

Lechon ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- little too salty for me
- I usually don't love the fat, but the fat here was good

❤️ Honey walnut shrimp ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- loved this
- no notes

Ahi poke ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- wish it was slightly more spicy

Kalua pig ⭐⭐
- very salty for me, wouldn't reorder unless this was a one off mess up

Tri pac ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- a little basic but it's the safest bet if you're new to this sort of food
- beef and chicken
- beef was a little sweet but made me want veggies
- chicken was sweet“

“Awesome food and a great atmosphere“

“Kalbi chicken with macaroni salad splurge.“

“It’s a fun vibe for sure. The seating isn’t the best for groups of 4 or more people but if you’re lucky enough to find a limited table for your group size, then the vibe is pretty laid back. The food was okay, some things were great and others average. The drink menu is fantastic of your a fan of tropical rum drinks. I mean if you’re not, you’re probably not stopping in here anyway. Haha“

“I was looking for a place to pick up an onigiri in the morning from time to time, and this place opens at 9am which is great! Really cute shop, they have taiyaki, musubi, and a nice variety of onigiri, and it is affordable and exactly what you want. There is really nothing quite like this in the Portland area...its a little treasure. The staff are so friendly, i will be sure to recommend this place to all my passengers, friends, and family!“

“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!“

“Friendly staff, the nambawan strain in particular is absolutely exceptional, but all strains I’ve had here have been good quality. Nice chill atmosphere in beautiful and fun SE Portland. Highly recommend for kava lovers and the kava curious. 😊“

“In spite of the snowy weather, we are so glad we kept our Valentines Day reservation. The staff had gone all out to make the evening a special VD celebration! The food was delicious and came out beautifully served. Our cocktails were terrific too. Our server was helpful and friendly, and provided great service even on this busy night. Thank you for the red rose flower...a nice treat!“

“Just as long as you get thier early and you can find a seat, it's a lot better of an experience. Their food is fantastic! And even if you come later, you can scope out ppl leading tables. It's kinda fun, like going to battle. Their is also an outside smoking area where you can bring drinks.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's not wheelchair friendly at all.“

“Absolutely delicious! I tried the most popular item on the menu, the teriyaki chicken, and it did not disappoint. It was served with generous portions of macaroni and rice—just a heads up, the portions are quite large! You can choose from small, regular, or large servings, so there’s an option for everyone’s appetite.“

“808 Grinds catered for a wedding I coordinated a few weeks ago and they did a phenomenal job. Set up was prompt, staff was friendly and professional, and the food was AMAZING! I cannot wait to work with them again for another couple's wedding this summer! Highly recommend.“

“Man it’s awesome to have a great Hawaiian cart in the area again. I especially appreciate the indo-Asian dishes like the kimchi fried rice. Those cucumbers, I’m afraid to order the large size because I think I would eat them all in one sitting. The Hawaiian fare (shoyu chicken, kalua pork, Mac salad etc) is all spot on too, or I wouldn’t be writing this. Wish it was open more hours…but good enough that we work around that.

Parking: Small lot on the actual property. Street parking in the neighborhood or ride your bike in warmer months.

Wheelchair accessibility: The cart pod has a ADA spot and is accessible“

“Ohana in the City of Roses! Street parking is a little tricky if it's busy, but the food and atmosphere make it totally worth it. Food was excellent!“

“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.“

“💯👌💖🈴️💥💥💥🆗️🈴️🆒️❤️💯🔟 Great Place To Eat“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“5 stars because I had a great time, food was amazing and cheap, and I just love a neighborhood dive where I can chill out and get a big fat tiki cocktail. I’ll be back for sure.

I do have to mention though, the service was quick but super rude. The bartender the night we visited a couple weeks back was easily of the least friendly bartenders I’ve ever had, which is saying something. Maybe she was just having an off night. I’m in the industry myself so I totally understand that not every day is your best shift, but my friends and I felt like we were offending her just by being in her presence. It was hard to feel totally comfortable there because of it. She still got 20% because it’s my personal law to never skimp on a tip, but it hurt to leave the cash, I’m not gonna lie.“

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

“The jackfruit plate is fire!!“

“Teriyaki chicken, macaroni salad, white rice, and a couple extra teriyaki sauces - I salivate just thinking about it. It's really that good. It's perfection. It's so good that I've never even ordered anything else from their menu.

It's not that I'm worried that another dish won't be any good. It's that I don't want to miss out on a dish that I enjoy so much. I eat Roxy's maybe 6 times a year, so the teriyaki chicken never sounds like an F'd out choice.“
