Kanaka Island Grill is a restaurant in a Tigard food cart pod that serves Hawaiian plate lunch. The food is made from scratch and with a lot of soul. The fried chicken is crispy and delicious, and the kaluha pork is super tender. The restaurant also has its own homemade teriyaki sauce. Other meals mentioned include the huli huli chicken, kalbi short ribs, grandma's fried chicken, charsiu chicken, and guava ribs. The guava ribs have a glaze that is not too sweet, and the meat falls clean off the bones. The chicken is perfectly juicy, and the fried chicken is perfectly crisp. The flavor profile of each dish is insane. The hot sauce is flavorful and fresh but not really spicy, and it works well with everything. The Mac salad is a little different, more like a potato salad with egg, but it is a nice change. The portions are great and the food is piled high. The plates are incredibly loaded, and two meals can be made out of them. The prices are steep and no prices are listed, but the portion size helps justify it. The food cart pod has open seating, a nearby taphouse, and some of the friendliest restaurant owners. Ordering is easy and the staff is very friendly. The food is incredible and exceeds expectations.
