“This food is amazing. It is obvious the chef cares deeply about the food he prepares. The prices are more than reasonable, especially considering the size of plates. The value of money spent for product you get can not be beat anywhere. I'll always recommend this place first for catering or grabbing some lunch. 5 star for real!!!“
“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!“
“Small, cute little shop! Nice selection of drinks and Onigiri, my kids loved them. The only thing I didn’t really like was that each Onigiri was wrapped in plastic wrap and kept warm like that; I think it would be better to wrap in food safe paper and foil so the possibility of plastic particles getting into the food is lessened.“
“Can’t hate on a busy business with a good atmosphere, great food, and quality service. This new location was very busy but they got our food out in under fifteen minutes. Line was to the door. I will be recommending this place to all of my friends.“
“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!“
“Hands down the best Hawaiian food in Portland! Steven, was super friendly and explained his menu to me in detail. He adds his own Korean twist to the dishes that were passed down to him from his mom. The mac salad 10/10! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!“
“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.“
“We stopped off at SeaSweets on a recent trip to Portland and hands down, they make the best poke bowls I've ever had. I am not easily impressed when it comes to seafood bowls, but SeaSweets has a very pleasant staff serving really high quality fish, delicious sauces, and toppings for days. Absolutely phenomenal.“
“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!“
“I was delighted to move back to this neighborhood so I could frequent this restaurant! Everything I've ever ordered here is delicious and the staff is always kind and helpful.Vegetarian options: Just wanted to add that the teriyaki tofu is amazing“
“This is my favorite place to get Hawaiian Food. The teriyaki chicken is excellent and the portions are huge.The Kalua Pig (shredded Pork) is a bit salty for my taste, but my kids love it.The staff is always incredibly friendly and create a great vibe.Parking: There is no parking lot but plenty of street parking on Sandy.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space inside the restaurant. They have lots of Aloha themed children’s books to keep kids occupied while they wait for the food. And the wait for the food is typically pretty short.“
“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“
“Weston—best bartender ever!! Very engaging—great conversation about cocktails— bartending—I was a bartender back in college—many, many years ago — made me feel right at home even though I was solo.Great experience.And I love this place!! Great for families, kids,And as we age—sitting at the bar enjoying a great margaritaThanks for making me feel welcome ?“
“Moved here in 2009, been coming here since then and I haven't grown tired of this place yet. When nothing else sounds good this place always does the trick! Especially Love the chicken with sweet chili sauce and the tri-tip with teriyaki sauce.“
“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.“
“Menu looked awesome, only 2 vegetarian options, they were okay. Tofu was described as “a sea of flavors” which I’m not sure is accurate but it was fine. The meat though- looked and smelled SO GOOD. I mean who goes to a Hawaiian restaurant for tofu anyways lol everyone else loved their food, big fans of the teriyaki chicken and the ribs. Most dishes came with a side of Mac salad and rice. Maybe not the best for a vegetarian but for all others you’ll love it. Staff was so friendly and nice also. I would go back just for the vibes and smells“
“I ordered the Kalua Pork and my girlfriend had the Katsu Chicken. Very hearty meals for a fair price. Owner is very friendly and happy to talk us through the different options available. Covered dining area with heaters nearby which is ideal for a cold March lunch.“
“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.“
“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!“
“We just ordered thru Uber Eats. The food was wonderful, the shoyu chicken was the favorite at the table! All of the food was very good, we will order again! recommend: shoyu chicken, kalua pig, teri chicken, garlic chicken, kali ribs, yaki noodles, spam musubi“
“Da Hui was one of the few places open during this last icy storm. Our power went out, so this we awesome! We get there the place is nice and warm. The service was unbelievably friendly and fast. The food was delicious!! We'll definitely be back again!Dietary restrictions: There are wonderful gastric sleeve surgery options.“
“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.“
“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 loco moco is to die for here!Its a nice spot to the interior is really nicely done and the service is amazing. They are super friendly. This is what I've been looking for since getting back from Hawaii. Id recommended this place over 808grind any day!“
“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.“
“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.“
