Hawaiian Restaurants near Vancouver, WA

“I have been enjoying Kiawe for a while. Embarrassed to say I still don't know how to pronounce it? Their food is fabulous! Taste is authentic! Staff is very attentive. Enough food for at least 2 meals. A little place that doesn't get enough attention!“

“I have came here multiple times this month and find the Teriyaki, Macaroni Salad, & Rice delicious. Definitely better macaroni than Hula Boys.

Also the ladies at the desk have great service.

Parking: Hundreds of parking spots“

“So happy to see the hillsboro location back open. Got fantastic takeout for dinner and my whole family is delighted!“

“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!“

“One of the best! Extremely consistent and great tasting food. My wife and I get the Teriyaki and Spicy Teriyaki Chicken and are never disappointed. Well, maybe in ourselves for not ordering more of their Mac Salad! We've gotten the Yakasoba noodles before which never miss. Good rice and veggies too.“

“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 food. We had their special kalua pork cabbage, and Teri chicken, so delicious. Their shoyu poke was fresh and ono! We also ordered, took home Teri chicken and Meat Jun plates. Gotta take out too!!! When it’s Ono/Delicious, gotta take home so no need to cook! Call to put in your order, eat their in a beautiful area or take out 👍🏼“

“Love Fresh Fish Poke! My husband and I have been going to this food cart for a while now and it’s always delicious! The portions are great and the flavor is amazing! We drive out to Beaverton just for it.

Parking: There’s a massive free parking lot across street from the food truck area“

“My sister treated me to an outing here. Not a lot of food options but what they do have it pretty tasty! The flavor of the kalbi ribs was delicious but chewy. Rice and Mac were some of the best I have ever had. You have to try the crab Rangoon dip and Hawaiian bread (I could rave about them). It’s a great hidden tiki bar. Loved watching them throw fire all over the place. Definitely known for their exotic drinks. I had the rhuby sunset (told the gal to surprise me) and I didn’t think I liked rhubarb until I had it! Was so yummy! It’s a small place but even full it doesn’t feel crowded. Absolutely will be coming back!! Such a fun experience“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Awesome food and a great atmosphere“

“I happened to end up here for lunch when I was having a particularly bad day. Thanks to the super sweet gal behind the counter and delicious meal, this place really cheered me up! I love the wide array of options and all the fish and veggies I got tasted so good and fresh. The complimentary miso soup was much appreciated as well! The only thing I think could be better is the rice - the white rice I got was pretty dry. A well seasoned sticky sushi rice would make this already great meal perfect.

Editing to add that I came here a second time and the rice was wonderful :)“

“Kalbi chicken with macaroni salad splurge.“

“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!“

“Ok can we talk about portlands cutest freaking bar?!?!?! I mean honestly every week the bar scene is changing but I absolutely loved this place. I loved how unexpectedly cute it was and how unique the menu was! I will say that the food takes a LONG time to come out so don't come here if you're hungry and wanting food “

“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. 😊“

“Fantastic island theme menu!“

“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“

“Wife and I visited our daughter and family in Portland,Oregon and we were happy to see that they had a L&L Drive In nearby in Beaverton. We went early and were the first customer that morning. The Hawaiian combination laulau and kalua pig plate and chicken Katsu plate was excellent, large portions and reasonable prices. Thank you L&L counter girls and cook!

Kid-friendliness: Very clean“

“Roxy’s is the closest to authentic Hawaiian comfort food in the area. I love their food and have been eating out for years and their service is incredible!! My favorite is Kalbi ribs, but the Kalua pork is out of this world as well and their mac salad is phenomenal!! If you really want to go out, get the locomotion you won’t be disappointed! 🌺“

“Came in with a large group of about 18-19 people. Service was absolutely phonemonal and the waitress was so considerate. The waitress went out of her way to make sure that our group was being considered. Thank you. Would absolutely recommend this place to all interested in checking it out. This place was so supportive of all individual backgrounds, even helped sign for individuals who are non-verbal.

Dietary restrictions: Extremely accomodating

Kid-friendliness: Extremely understanding of all learning approaches and differences.

Wheelchair accessibility: Had about 6-7 wheelchairs. This place was so large and accommodating for all the wheelchairs.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“
