The Teriyaki chicken plate was alright. The chicken had good flavor and the portion size was pretty big. The Mac salad was on the mushy side and not my favorite. This is usually my favorite item and I get 2 scoops. Glad I opted for just one. The chicken was moist had nice grill marks. The rice was made perfectly to accompany the chicken. The restaurant has plenty of seating. It's street parking or a small pay to park lot just behind the restaurant. I sat here and watched other tables food come out and they looked like great portion sizes as well. They have spicy vinegar water that is a briny salty flavor along with a few other staple sauces on each table. They have bottled, canned and soft drinks along with some draft cocktails. This place seems to have a steady flow of people and to go orders. read more

Kalbi plate was alright taste wise but was horrendously not worth the price. 6 total pieces less Equates to about 2 kalbi uncut. There was almost no meat on 2 of the pieces and was burnt. Paying almost $30 for this meal was definitely not worth it. I've enjoyed this restaurant when it was bigs chicken but this new place is not it. Portion sizing for kalbi should be a little better than that especially for the price. read more

First time. Such a colorful venue. The food and service was great. Ordered at the counter and food was brought out to us. Wow, Hawaiian food was great and plentiful! I ordered the Loco Moco with a side of Macaroni Salad, yum!!! My husband ordered the 2 Choice Plate, Kaluha Pig and Grilled Chicken. Everything was delicious. read more

We stopped by for a quick Friday lunch, the place was about 1/3 to half filled. The ambience is rustic and not all that different from Big's chicken from what I recall. The arcades are kinda cool, I can see how this turn into a HH spot later in the day. I got the non alcoholic Pina colada, since it's a work day and we had to get back to that after, and a teriyaki chicken, figured let's start the basics. The drink was immediately handed to me, and the food came out reasonably fast. The Pina colada was decorated nicely, the drink itself was solid, I'll need to get the alcohol version next time. The teriyaki chicken was cooked and prepared well, I really like the vinegar/ginger/garlic mixture that's on the table (just guessing the ingredients), it really pairs well and the acidity balance the sweetness from the teriyaki. Wife ordered a shoyu chicken sandwich, and we thought it had a lot of flavor despite being a bit on the dry side. This was a decent meal, not sure if I would pick ate-oh-ate over roxys or 808 grinds, but definitely wouldn't mind going back. read more

A friend brought me here for dinner. I really only got into Hawaiian food thanks to friends from the islands so I am not in the know for authentic. The very sweet guy at the counter was great as we were complex getting an order to go for her husband and me being completely clueless as to all the things. I was happy she clued me in on the slushies and we both tried them both. Lime and coconut were the two and they were both made with coconut milk, having that creaminess. Delicious! I was getting brain freeze though - it was pretty hot out and I just cannot do super cold when I am super hot. Delicious as they were I had to just get a Mexican coke with a big old cup of ice. My friend grabbed a slushie and added a shot to it which you can do! The food was great - I tried her Kahlua pork which was great. I got the teriyaki chicken and the chicken katsu - both were very good though the BBQ sauce served with the katsu was a lot more liquid and vinegar forward that I like so I used their teriyaki sauce. Their mac salad is a lot more sweet than previous experiences at other places and my friend said that they use a lot more pineapple. It is very creamy and I did like it. What I was not a fan of was the butter mochi cake but I am not a fan of that texture which I think is correct. I could see people liking it but I just find the sticky tacky texture to be unappealing so you might love it! read more

We've been meaning to come here for a while but they are always closed when we leave the farmers market. Today, we got to the market late so we're able to give this place a try. I ordered the Big Salad with grilled tofu. My husband ordered the 2 choice plate of grilled Korean chicken and mochiko chicken. These are two Hawaii staples we miss. Salad was $13.95 and two choice plate was $17.95. Not bad considering the price of food lately. Sparkling water was $3. Restaurant is fairly large with lots of seating inside and out. You could probably bring your dog if you sit outside. One thing I noticed outside and appreciated was the pikake growing on the fence. Nice touch! Reminds me of home even more! Counter girl was pleasant but didn't go out of her way to create conversation. She spent more time talking with the guy behind the counter with her but that didn't affect our service. Five TVs inside showing mostly sports and of course you can buy beer and other alcoholic beverages, plus Hawaiian Sun. Background music was pop and I notice my husband singing along so that was another plus. Now for the food - it was good! The Korean chicken had a lot of ginger which made it really tasty. Mochiko chicken tasted like my mother-in-law's so five stars! If I deducted anything it would have been for the rice that was slightly hard. Need to more water when cooking read more

Don't know why this place is only rated 3 stars! Got the hawaiian plate split with katsu chicken and korean spicy chicken, and while I'd rate the whole plate above average, the korean chicken was particularly delicious delicious, and had a ton of flavor. Not to mention the price to portion ratio was pretty generous! We were also pleasantly surprised when, having come in a half hour before close, the kind lady cleaning up for the night generously gave us some extra spam musubi, which was also very solid. This was a clean, chill, and cozy hawaiian spot right in the middle of beaverton, with great service and delicious food, I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I read some reviews before coming here, and saw sort of a mixed bag. As such, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I have to say, what I ate was quite good. So I'll start there - I ordered half Mochiko Chicken and half Grilled Teriyaki Chicken with rice and Mac salad. That food was GOOD. Moist teriyaki, crunchy mochiko. I was very happy. The less stellar side was what my friend got. The Poke Bowl was... odd. The fish was good, but the lettuce chunks were huge, and felt like an odd addition. The spam musubi was okay but somewhat dry. I would recommend this spot for the chicken dishes! I really liked what I had and would come back for that. read more

Great friendly place to eat, seems home made and freshen my made. It's fast and portions are great. Very clean and it has some video game machines as well. The only bad thing is parking is not so friendly. Have to wait for an opening near by or walk a ways to find parking read more

Nice job on the menu change, I will miss the giant fried Chicken sandwich from Bigs. We really loved the two items we ordered, the Korean style chicken with Macaroni salad and a green salad side hit the spot. The dish is spicy, not to spicy that you want to pass this dish up, it had a lot of flavor and the serving size was easily enough for two. The second dish was a curry bowl with katsu chicken, a very nice blend, very filling and a lot of flavor. The inside of the location has not changed other than a more island theme. We ordered takeout and when we arrived the food was ready for us. Make sure to ask for some side dipping sauces they compliment the food. I am not following some of the other reviews. We will stop by again to continue to try the rest of the menu, we noticed some poke bowls to spam masubi. read more

If you were a fan of Big's chicken then I'm sure you could probably relate to the slight heart attack I had when I saw that their location in Beaverton was suddenly changed to "Ate-Oh-Ate"... thankfully it's the same owner and their food was still good. Got their mochiko chicken plate, which is always my go-to at any Hawaiian restaurant that will offer it--it was good, good breading and good fry on it, and went well with the Mac salad. Their teriyaki chicken also had good flavor. Restaurant is casual and chill, and has the same set up and FCFS seating like Big's had. Sounds like my take on it is a little more positive than what others are saying but *shrug* I had a positive experience! read more

I think Ate-oh-Ate might be one of the more controversial businesses in Beaverton. People have strong opinions about the closing of the Beaverton location of Big's Chicken and, it seems, strong feelings about the food at Ate-oh-Ate. With all of that in mind, we wanted to check it out ourselves. Our first impression: the restaurant looks about the same aside from some cosmetic changes like a newly painted mural and different furniture. The overall layout is the same as Big's. We ordered the loco moco and Kalua pig plates. I liked the Kalua pig as the pork was smoky, tender, and not overly soggy or salty. I wish the Mac salad would be creamier, but overall I liked it. My fiancé ordered the loco moco and he wasn't crazy about it. He said it's "different" because it had a strong mushroom flavor like a cream of mushroom soup. As an Asian American, the mushroom taste didn't bother me, but I can see why it would be surprising for loco moco. We also ordered a slice of the butter mochi cake, and it was chewy, buttery, moist, and fluffy all at the same time. It was quite yummy I must say. Overall, I liked my Kalua pig plate and the butter mochi dessert. I would recommend both dishes. read more

This was my first time trying Ate Oh Ate and it was just alright. Nothing I ate was stand out delicious. We came on a week night so ordering was fast and the food came out quick. I got a Frozen Limeade and a Mochiko Chicken Plate. The limeade was very icy so the lime flavor was a bit too subtle. The Mochiko Chicken was crispy and juicy but not that flavorful. There were several sauces on the table that you could add to your plate but all of the sauces were just okay, one of which I couldn't put my finger on what it was. read more

As far as food goes, this place is top notch way better than any other Hawaiian place in the area. Teriyaki chicken macaroni salad delicious. Their Spam musubi are far above average. They add egg and sesame seeds. To be honest they are almost a small meal in themselves.. When it comes to the staff, you can tell they enjoy what they do. The two ladies are always friendly and kind even when they are slammed.. The gentlemen are equally as friendly. read more

Came here on day 2. So good! My favorite is the Korean chicken. Grilled and a Spicy Korean red sauce. Love it. The pork wasn't quite as good as the Burnside location. I'll give them a pass for it being day 2. The teriyaki chicken hot ravs, as did the Mochico chicken. So glad they are in beaverton @ read more

Pretty good. The table chili sauce is weirdly delicious and I want to try and make some myself. Their curry bowl is delicious and so much food and the Aina burger are delicious. Service is pretty standard and it can be a little loud. read more

I got a plate with shoyu chicken the mochiko chicken plate and I would 100% order it again. My daughter got the terriyaki and katsu- she also tried the spam masubi and the butter mochi cake. She liked the last two the best. We had a lot of leftovers but I am glad we were able to try different items on the menu. We will be back- it was a quick dinner downtown with nice atmosphere. read more

Big's was gone so we decided to try the place that took its spot. Katsu sauce tasted like A1, breading on chicken was subpar & not crispy, but the meat itself was so dry. Curry was really good, I really liked the veggies in it, too. They nailed their macaroni salad, but the main part of the dish was such a disappointment that I don't think we'd eat here again. read more

Visiting Portland, and saved a video of this place on IG! I was craving spam musubi and thought this would be the perfect place to go to! Upon entering, I enjoyed the lovely aquarium mural located on the wall, it was really cute and the colors went well together and brightened up the place! For the food, my partner and I ordered spam musubi, katsu pork sandwiches, loco moco, and a limeade slush! Here's the review of the food: Spam Musubi: It was interesting that they cut the musubi diagonally and it was plated in a sophisticated way. It tasted decent, but I have had better in Hawaii. Our musubi had egg in it which was good, but I wished it had more sauce and more flavor to it. For my preference, I would have preferred my musubi whole. Katsu Pork Sandwiches: The katsu pork was definitely crispy but my partner and I agreed that it was missing some seasoning and that the pork had no taste and wasn't as juicy. The bread was soft and fluffy, and we had slaw to the sandwich but wished we had more sauce and slaw to it since the Katsu Pork looked a bit thin and not as thick. The mac salad paired with this sandwich was good, I will say. If you are ever in the Bay Area and want a Katsu Sandwich, Bread N' Chu does a good job and they have other sandwiches that taste really good! Loco Moco: I really like that I had two runny eggs, who doesn't love more eggs! The Loco Moco had a different taste than what I am used to, since the curry had a different taste and I felt it did not suit the dish. I prefer the L&L Hawaiian Loco Moco (I am from Northern CA) and still remember the curry and how it complemented well with the rice and patty. Limeade slush: I am not sure if it is dependent on the person that makes it but our limeade slush was so sour I found it hard to finish and ended up getting a glass of water instead. If you like alcohol in your drinks they can add a shot to the slush, for extra money! Overall, the food was decent and the cashier was nice, but I don't find myself going back often or craving it. read more

Tofu fried rice and pinball?!?! A combination made in Ate Oh Ate heaven! Excellent date night

The mochiko chicken was good, although the rice is a bit too firm and the mac salad had an unpleasant aftertaste that none of us cared for. Teriyaki chicken was also good, but the kalua pork lacked flavor, and the shoyu chicken sandwich had just a tablespoon of slaw! We prefer 808 Grinds. read more

Ate Oh Ate - Beaverton - Shoyu Chicken Sandwich (shown with lack of coleslaw) - Hawaiian Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

What I found interesting was that some of the people working there today looked familiar when it was called Biggs Chicken. With all the Hawaiian places nearby I don't know why they changed their name and format. So I really thought I'd be coming into a good fine, but I left disappointed. Try the teriyaki chicken and the Shoyu chicken. Both were dry and lacked any real flavor except for the sauce that you would add. The Shoyu chicken looked very unappealing. It was boneless chicken thighs but the look and rubbery texture reminded me of organ meat. No flavor and over-cooked. Large eating area both inside and out but a "no" for me. read more

Great food. Friendly service. Had the Korean grilled chicken plate to go. Delicious! Great portions. Cool beachy ambience- will be back.

Poke portions are TINY. A $20 poke bowl has had almost now chunks of tuna in the entire bowl. Other food was more logically sized. Service was good. read more

Service was horrible on 11/6/24 at 2:30-3:30PM, on Wednesday. A white girl with short hair, maybe 5'5, on the heavier side was the cashier. I ordered couple things and my wife really wanted a mochiko chicken. The Mochico chicken we got was not fried at all, it looked like it was baked or "fried" (photo attached) We asked her why it's not fried and is it supposed to look like this. The girl said "Yeah, that's how it supposed to look like", not knowing we've eaten mochico chicken. And then she changed it up saying that the cooks are new. We gave her the baked mochico chicken back and ordered something else. Let me get this straight, if you have been working there for a bit and know how a mochico chicken looks like, why did you serve us a plate that was not complete? And then say "Yeah, that's how mochico chicken looks like". It was the Election Day, she was clearly upset with the results. I even tipped the store before sitting down, wish I kept the $10. I lived in Hawaii for a bit and knows how a mochico chicken looks and tastes, she thought I was Mexican. I was really disappointed driving all the way from Olympia to visit once again. And then, of course this girl ruined a family's day. This girl also told me that they don't have to go plates, I asked her well what are those paper plates? She said "oh these? Yeah you can take one" to go plates are paper plates. She was one dummeh! Good thing there's other locations hopefully dummeh not there. read more

Great service and friendly staff is really the only reason I'm giving this place a star. The food was disappointing. You're better off going to Roxy's or 808. The "Portuguese" fried rice, was not "portuguese" fried rice. Can't fool an islander! That was at was lame Hillshire smoke sausage from Fred Meyer lol. This honestly was what motivated me to write this review. If menu fraud was a thing, this is it :/ Finally, the prices are just too high for the portions. I'm sorry. read more

We had several options. A two plate combo with kalbi ribs and mochiko chicken. The kalbi was pretty comparable to other places, but I really loved the mochiko chicken. It had a nice crunch and was served with the aina sauce. Aina sauce was basically a sriracha mayo and it was really good. They also do their own house teriyaki, which was good too. We also had a side salad with a sesame shoyu dressing. I guess you can also get that with a Korean sauce. I want to try that next time. And of course we had to try their spam. It came with furikake egg and was good as well. My son had butter mochi and I was able to get a bite and it tasted exactly the way it should. Mac salad is the way I like it and reminds me of the kind I would have on the big island. Service was friendly and the space is welcoming. They have a happy hour too. We will definitely be back. Nice to find good Hawaiian places on the west side of Portland! read more

I ordered from here tonight through Uber eats about 7:30pm. My food was delivered around 8:40 3 of our 4 items were MISSING! We reached out to the driver and he said the bag felt light and he asked the woman at the restaurant if she was sure that was everything and she said yes. We called the restaurant multiple times with no answer. It's now after 9 with a limited selection of places still open. I will never order from here again. Y'all should of left Bigs here and kept this mess to yourself read more

The flavor was good. But the Aina Burger description states crispy PORK BELLY. I got bacon. I know bacon is just thin pork belly. Just change the description to bacon then.

When I saw the Hawaiian flag show up on the window I got really excited. Sad to say I was greatly disappointed. Mac salad - very bland. Portuguese fried rice was NOT Portuguese sausage. It tasted like an Oscar Meyer hot dog. Poke bowl was a small portion of frozen ahi on top of iceberg lettuce. I swear the sauce was straight up shoyu (soy sauce). The lettuce at the bottom was sitting in a pool of it making the lettuce inedible. Kalbi was probably the best thing we ate but even that was a little flavorless. Butter mochi- I was expecting actual butter mochi this was more like a cake. Definitely not worth the nearly $80 spent. read more

Kinda surprised at some of the negative reviews to date. I mean, yeah, I'm not dropping it a 5 star review (yet) but this wasn't a 1 or 2 star experience on either of my visits. Yes I miss Big's Chicken. I will also admit I burned out on Big's. When they first visited I was there a LOT. I couldn't get enough of their boneless grilled chicken thighs and all the sauces. So, it was with a bit of sadness, but not much, I saw them transition to Ate Oh Ate. I've been there twice within 2 weeks. On my first visit I had a shoyu chicken plate minus mac and the wife had the Korean chicken. Service was speedy, food was hot and the whole experience was quite good. My most recent visit I had a split plate of korean and teriyaki chicken. Same deal, great service, food was good and the atmosphere, while identical to Big's, is perfectly fine. I'm not sure what would prompt me to bump this to a 5 star review, but there's more on the menu to discover, and we'll be back! read more

It's nice to see that they moved into this new location (I'll miss Big's Chicken though). The food here is just as good as I remember it being, maybe better because I was hungry. The place is still pretty spacious, and not many changes were done. You still order at the counter, and they will bring your food when it's ready. We ordered a spam musubi, Loco Moco, and a 2 plate combo of kalbi and katsu. The Loco moco was great, especially their shitake gravy. I can just eat that with rice and call it good. The kalbi was flavorful, and the katsu was nice and crispy. Their mac salad was also pretty good. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

I saw this place on social media and I'm a sucker for Hawaiian bbq/ lunch plates. This place was very disappointing. I ordered the kalua pork and teriyaki chicken plate. Comes with to scoops of rice, Mac salad and both proteins. The kalua pork was overly salty and the chicken was so over cooked it was almost a chicken jerky. The rice had an odd taste due to whatever they add into it while it's cooking. The Mac salad was also underwhelming, I wouldn't recommend this location read more

Mid food at best. Got the fried rice with Portuguese sausage. There was celery in the rice... odd but the sausage tasted more like Vienna sausage from a can that was boiled instead of friend. I like my sausage crispy and spicy. Not sure what brand they used but it was a miss. Service was nice so can't knock them for that but food is not. read more

The problem isn't that Big's is gone--it would still be here if people didn't burn out on the concept or straight-up abandon it for the carts. The issue is that there's just so much better Hawaiian in the area. It's been a long time since Roxy's and Hawaiian Time were the only options in car-bound, strip-mall Beaverton. This town is home to 808 Grindz, Hapapino, Shaka Brah and Kuli Kuli. Palenaka's up in the pod might be the best Hawaiian joint west of the tunnels. Even if you're out in the boonies, Hawaiian Kine, Kaos, other 808 Grindz (if that building ever reopens), Habu and Kama'aina have you covered. Ate Oh Ate is perfectly fine if you went to the Laurelhurst and are craving Hawaiian and feeling lazy. But man, I forget exactly who they're making this for and what their palate is like. This is a fairly bland, socks-and-sandals tourist interpretation of better menus just steps away. I understand why management would think this concept would fare better in Beaverton than Southern fried chicken that clearly reached the end of its shelf life, but this is a disappointing failure of good intentions. read more
