I came by on a Thursday evening and it was very busy! The restaurant itself is quite small but they accommodate with a good amount of outdoor seating. The vibes of the place are great and feel very homey, perfect for the food they serve! The menu is expansive and I haven't had the chance to try too many things so I'm definitely excited to try another dish when I return. The chili and fried chicken was excellent and I would definitely recommend it! read more

808 Grinds - Chili and Fried Chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Since I'm visiting the area this is based only on my one visit... this place is legit! The service was good, atmosphere of live music on Thursday evening brought me back to Kauai and the food met all my memories of my trips to the 808! The 808 Combo was enough to feed two at least. The garlic fries were so good! The Spam Musubi was legit! This place would be in my regular rotation read more

Great food, good vibes, fast and friendly service. This place has a killer lineup of house made sauces to accompany the stellar food. Go for the Shoyu chicken and ya can't lose. read more

Wow, I'm not normally a fan of the Hawaiian cuisine due to past experiences but I thought I would give this highly rated place a try and I'm so glad I did! I ordered the 808 chicken combo and it was bomb! Chicken was juicy and had a nice light fried batter. Added on the complimentary sauces (my favourite was the sweet wasabi) Service was excellent as they brought it right out to our table. You can dine inside or enjoy the weather outside on their large family picnic tables. I've got this place as now my #1 spot for Hawaiian Cuisine. read more

808 Grinds - 808 Fried Chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

808 Grinds in Hillsboro is a hidden gem tucked into a small corner of a plaza, but absolutely worth finding. The service is always friendly, and the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and served in huge portions. I've tried their chicken katsu and salmon burger, and nothing on the menu ever disappoints. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quantity and flavor you get, truly a great value. Everything is so good that I find myself craving it and always wanting to go back. One of my favorite spots in the area! read more

Stop scrolling--this is the Hawaiian spot you've been looking for. My husband and I have visited multiple times, and the food and service are consistently fantastic. The staff is warm, welcoming, and full of genuine aloha spirit, which truly sets this place apart. We hadn't found authentic, delicious Hawaiian food like this on the mainland until coming here. I absolutely love the Da Combo. The kalua pig is juicy, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth good, while the shoyu chicken is deeply flavorful and aromatic with just the right balance of seasoning. Over several visits, we've made our way through all the desserts, and every single one has impressed. My personal favorites are the sweet potato and haupia pie--perfectly sweet with an almost cookie-like crust--and the lilikoi cheesecake, which features a rich, creamy filling balanced by a bright, tangy topping. The ambiance is cozy, smells incredible, and features great music that never overpowers the space. They also offer covered, enclosed, and heated outdoor seating; the patio is pet-friendly, and the building is accessible--thoughtful touches that make the experience even better. read more

Easy, quick service during lunch rush! I found the shoyu good, but the kalua pig was a bit dry. read more

808 Grinds - Da Combo (shoyu chicken, kalua pig with rice and mac salad) - Hawaiian Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

As someone from Hawaii, this place is not bad (okish) . Got the special of Kalbi pork belly w/gochujang sauce. I liked it would try other plate lunch items. Mac salad is a bit too heavy on the mayo for my taste and had peas. They have Hawaiian Sun (juice), but they are $2.50 (usually sold for $1.00). Loved the vibes inside, they play local music and they have a large warm seating area next to windows. On the weekend, this place is quite busy and parking lot is small. read more

Was soooo stoked to find some ono grindz so close to the pinball museum. Stopped by and loaded up on the mixed plate shoyu chicken and kahlua pig with rice and Mac salad. Topped it off with butter mochi and some lilikoi cheesecake. Sadly both meats were over salty. The Mac salad was decent, same with the rice. But the proteins were a miss, even with their additional sauces available. The butter mochi was pretty solid too. Unfortunately, with sooo many options in the Portland area, we probably won't be back. read more

My experience was just ok! Listening to the reviews had me feeling catfished. Not super happy with the 808 fried chicken. It seemed old and not crispy or flavorful in any way. The kalbi ribs were meaty and done well. The poke sampler had some interesting flavors and was very fishy tasting, had me a bit nervous. Sad to say this will be our last visit to this establishment. read more

Amazing Hawaiian food in Hillsboro! I'm Visiting from so cal and this was better than some of the spots in my town. Delicious and highly recommended. Thank you! read more

Visited the 808 Grinds Hawaiian Cafe at 10100 SW Park Way and they're affiliated so I had to try this location. The first thing you'll notice as you drive up is the parking. This location has a smaller parking lot behind the restaurant. It's a cute/quaint looking building with one handicapped parking spot right in front. Staff was just as pleasant and friendly. The restaurant has about 4 tables inside and more covered dining outside. As for the food, it all pretty good, and got the following: Spam musubi (spam was a little on the thin side) and proportionately a little too much rice, IMO. Loco Moco was really good and sunnyside eggs were perfect. For some, it may be a little underdone. Wontons were okay, kind of mid but the butter mochi cake bites were really good. Perfect texture. The Trifecta which has fried chicken (good), pulled pork (good and tender) and shoyu chicken (shredded chicken was tender but a little dry) Overall, still a good visit...just didn't "wow" me the first time when i had their kalbi-pork belly at the other location. read more

Prices are high for what you get--$6 for two scoops of rice and a thick mayonnaise macaroni ball. Tofu poke salad was just large chunks of tomatoes and onions, while the poke bowl contained only five pieces of fish, with 90% of the volume being rice. The poke offerings lack ingredient variety, and they shouldn't be called poke plates. Staff is quiet, but the food is fresh. Overall, it's nothing special unless you like greasy meat. read more

Used to be good until they started messing up every order I placed. This time it was not receiving Mac salad when it was ordered. Instead I got all rice. No one wants all your rice that's hard and crusty. read more

I came here a little over an hour before closing which I try to avoid doing, but left the house a little late. They were still able to serve us and prepare delicious food pretty quick. I had furikake fries which changed my life. The hamburger steak was also pretty good and I really liked the onions that came with it. Coming before closing, it's pretty quiet, but there were still a decent amount of people there at night. read more

3.5 stars. Overall the food was good. But disappointed they didn't have just wasabi or hot mustard by itself so I can mix with shoyu for my poke. When I asked about it, they looked at me like I was an alien, lol. They only had wasabi mixed with mayo. Had to make my own kine sauce for that hot kick. Must be the Haole style? Got the shoyu chx and kalua pig. Flavor was Ono but I like the chx skin. Haha buggah was kinda dry, not sure if I got the chx breast or just skinless thigh but again, prob catering to the greater population. Not a bad experience but not what I thought it would be visiting from Hawaii and repping the 808 read more

I was curios to try this place for a long time. But it was okayish overall. Nothing remarkable stood out to me. The food was fine. The service was also okayish. It could be since it was within an hour before they were about to close. read more

Can't believe I haven't written a review for 808 yet! My daughter was craving some mac salad last night and I will never say no to plate lunch for dinner. Chicken combo and musubi hit the spot. Very generous portions. Was a little bummed because they seem to have switched up the recipe on the 808 fried chicken because the size of the chicken chunks shrunk, but the flavor did not disappoint. One of the great things about 808 is the sauce variations that are available. 808 shoyu and spicy mayo are my jam. We did takeout so I can't say more than the staff was polite and my food was ready on time. I also have to point out for past visits that I have loved the live music on the patio during the summer months. One of these days I'll have to finally try their poke! read more

The food here is great! There was a special I wanted to try but they were out of. Parking is very cramped and it's very easy to drive past so beware. The food was served very fast which was great. The outdoor patio is an awesome spot to sit. The staff was also very friendly. read more

Been here before and was a very good experience originally. My grandmother ordered the poke and let me tell you. Was the smallest dish I have ever seen. Flavor was good but they charge 16$ for so little. I ordered the trifecta plate, the meats were very dry. Very pricey for very okay food. Won't be coming again. I would not recommend it. read more

A staple in our take out rotation. Love their mac salad! Their sauce game is strong and the dessert is always fun to keep an eye on. If you can ever snag the banana cream pie - DO IT. read more

Good food and good crew, at good cost! Simply amazing experience each time I visit this place. sitting capacity limited (although they seem to be expanding outdoor seating by this summer), But no complaints - food is just as good even if you take out/delivery. read more

Great food and I always support. Room for improvement on giving more gravy and not skimping on the rice. They used to load the plates (like a proper plate lunch back home) but have gotten skimpy. I also ordered 2 plates and got 1 fork. That should not happen again. read more

My boyfriend had an appointment in Hillsboro, but we had no plans of getting food before heading back home. However after what should've been a 40 minute drive home, looked like it was a gonna be at least an hour & a half, we decided we needed some fuel. It was perfect that 808 was on located on our way out, so there was no extra commute there. It had been a while since we've been back home, so this was the perfect choice. We got the pork belly, garlic furikake fries, spicy ahi poke & furikake ahi poke. They also have a list of sauces you can choose from if you'd like. When I tell you that poke hit the spot. My gosh, I have been craving that for months. They both come with wonton chips. The furikake poke was really good on it. It became like nachos. The portion of fries was very generous. It came with some type of wasabi sauce, but I thought it was fine without it. I'm glad we didn't pour the sauce all over it as we didn't finish them all at once. Pork belly was also good, nice & soft inside, but also very crispy outside. I wish we lived closer, but I'm glad we finally got try it out. It was like a little piece of home. read more

I was disappointed with last nights trifecta. Maybe it was our fault for going in a half hour before closing, but the salt content of the meat was incredibly high and felt like it had been "sitting" for hours. Usually, I'm very pleased with the food, taste and feeling after eating at 808 and not so much this time. I'm not sure I will be back soon. read more

Fast tasty Hawaiian style plate lunches adjacent to Hillsboro Airport. Limited indoor seating, but about 10 tables in the shaded patio space outside. Flavors were full and on point for our 3 dishes: Kalbi pork belly (thin sliced pork belly grilled and lightly marinated), Grinds combo of kahlua pork and shoyu chicken (pulled meats w/ plenty of sauces to add flavor and moisture), and a salmon poke bowl. Plenty of metas, 2 scoops of rice plus a scoop of mac salad with each plate. Guava chiffon cake was light and not overly sweet.......a good finish to the meal. The only tweak I'd do would be to have the shoyu chicken be more like the pieces variety and not pulled chicken (slightly dry and flavorless). Service was quick and relaxed, just as any Hawaiian place should be! A great stop if you're looking for a quick meal. read more

808 Grinds Hillsboro delivers the most authentic Hawaiian flavors you'll find off the islands. Every dish is perfectly executed, from Kalbi short-ribs, to loco moco. (Grab a few spam musubis too!) The portions are generous, the mac salad is spot-on, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. If you're searching for true island comfort food, this is the spot! They've added a newly built outside patio as well! read more

We pretty much tried all of the food. Ahi tuna trio was nothing special, pork was really salty, beef ribs not bad teriyaki beef was just ok, macaroni was ok as well. Got 2 noodles one was not good the veggie noodles was probably the best dish out of everything. Place was busy but this place isn't for us. Ono Hawaiian is way better. read more

My go-to Hawaiian spot! Been here many times (it's a classic at this point) and it's been consistently great and at an affordable price! The staff are friendly and the decor is quite tropical. While I typically get the Rainbow Poke, I was craving some mac salad and fried chicken, so I ordered the 808 Fried Chicken plate. The chicken was crispy and juicy on the inside while lightly battered on the outside. The mac salad had a good amount of mayo but kept it mild on the pickles. My favorite sauces to get with this are the Habanero Teriyaki and the Sweet Wasabi. Both just take the chicken to another level. read more

Just landed in Portland from Southern California, so the family was craving a quick but good bite. Upon arrival, the ambiance felt cozy and comfortable. Figured we found a hidden gem. Service was excellent; food came out fast, and it was GOOD. The chicken katsu was perfect, and the portions were just right for my family-- a lot but not too much. Would 100% recommend!!! read more

This was our first time here. We just moved from California looking for new places and found this restaurant. The food was delicious! We order the crispy wontons, the 808 combo and chicken Katsu and I got it tell you this was perfect! All the food had great taste and seasoned well. The portions are big, so you can definitely have leftovers for next day. The service was great, smiles and courteous. There's inside and outside seating. If you want to try Hawaiian dishes, this is the place. We'll definitely be returning with family. read more

How fabulous to have them in our neighborhood! The people are friendly, service is great, and THE FOOD! Today we had the Loco Moco. It was outstanding! Good gravy! And their Mac salad is the best!!! We tried the fried eggplant and it was absolutely divine!!! Perfectly cooked. Dipped in the spicy mayo? Heavenly! Can't recommend it enough! read more

Long time customer but disappointed with my most recent order. Decided to try the chicken katsu for the first time and could tell immediately that they refried the individual pieces of chicken. I've had many chicken katsu at different places and this unfortunately should be called extra deep fried katsu crunch or something to that effect. read more

Everything is always so good. All around I've eaten here dozens of times and I don't think I've had anything that wasn't excellent.

Super excited to try this spot as it has come highly recommended. Finally had the chance to stop by, and I'm not sure if it fully lived up to the reputation. It was crazy busy at lunch time which is what I would've expected, and the staff were super friendly despite the long lines. Not a lot of indoor seating if you plan on dining in, but the outdoor patio would definitely be nice in summer. I couldn't decide on what to order so I got the Trifecta as I thought it would be the best way to sample the most foods off the menu. I'll start off by saying that the portion size do not leave anything to be desired. I was worried that by ordering 3 different meats the portion sizes for each would be less, but I had nothing to be worried about. Where I felt it was lacking was flavor, as all 3 of the meats, fried chicken, kalua pig, and shoyu chicken, all had very similar flavors, which I found to be a little disappointing. read more

I've lived in Portland a long time and I've heard that this is the place in town for Hawaiian food. I finally got a chance to check it out. Overall, I was pretty impressed. Staff and what I assumed was the owner was super nice and food came out rather quickly. Looks like I beat the lunch rush which is awesome. I really enjoyed my chicken and spam musubi but the star of the show was the macaroni salad. Thanks for a great experience. read more

This is THE Hawaiian food place, not only does the food come out super quick, but the staff is always super nice and they load up your plate. Huge portions and terrific deals. They also have great sauce options. We ordered the Kalua Pig and the Shoyu Chicken entrees along with the Asian Slaw for a side. Everything tasted fresh and on point. Left feeling beyond full and satisfied. Whether you grab it to go or sit and eat in the cozy interior, 808 Grinds is IT. read more

Ate here for the first time tonight. We were impressed with the friendly and welcoming greeting and lots of smiles and laughter. We tried the spicy chicken and loco moco and loved them both. The spicy chicken was sufficiently spicy and full of flavor. The loco moco was the traditional Hawaiian dish and delicious. We can't believe we haven't tried this place before. We will definitely be back soon. Don't forget to try their side sauces! read more
