Hawaiian food. Well this is a burger that at least have a very Hawaii inspired element: spam!…read more Straight out of the can lol the burger is made with their House ground beef, teriyaki glazed onions, spam, pineapple, lettuce, cheese and gochujang mayo on a potato bun. Well it's like to patties in one burger a decent beef one and the spam. The spam gives a nice salty background but is surprisingly not in the foreground of the taste. The teriyaki sauce is not to much and rounds up the overall taste. The pineapple is kind of the star with being in sweetness and the needed texture. It's not crunchy but different. Overall a well made tasty burger. Ps if the restaurant gives you a wet towel from the beginning you know what's coming and this was juicy messy burger!

I didn't really feel too much, but also I haven't done kava in awhile. The açai bowl was pretty good definitely recommend. Their street parking in this area can get busy so just be aware of that if trying to park during primetime. There's other shops and restaurants are around here to check out if you wanted to. Inside kava house, people are either on their laptops and or socializing with others. There are board and card games to play if you choose.

I'm so excited to discover a Samoan restaurant and deli has opened in my neighborhood! I know we…read morehave several really popular polynesian and Hawaiian restaurants in the area, but I'm uncertain how many uniquely identify as Samoan. Tusi's Deli Creation may be the only one! Located at 68th and Glisan, the restaurant has been introduced to the community slowly over the last few months. The owners are currently doing catering and producing prepackaged deli style food for sale elsewhere, but they've also opened their doors to the public on the weekends. Apparently, the intention is to open for extended hours in early November when they'll operate from Wednesday through Sunday. I've only sampled Tusi's Deli Creation dishes sold for prepackaged takeout, but the chicken half moon pie and round pancakes (Panikeke) are so fresh and packed with flavor, I can't wait to visit this weekend to try more! I'll amend my review when I do. In the meantime, the deli is building quite a social media following where they show off some of their dishes, and make announcements about hours, etc. I highly suggest you check them out before they get so popular they begin selling out of inventory!

Please look for the sign. I had to take a turn around the block to realize it was there. (It was rainy and dark out). The owners are lovely people super attentive and welcoming. I called ahead to make sure this wasn't a fluke and the guy answered and reassured me they did indeed have COOKED Samoan food! I got fish, mamoe, muli pipi, with rice and taro. Let me tell you, I don't even think I chewed for the most part. HAHAHA. The food was warm, delicious ,and a comforting in the way that only food from "home" can comfort you. They for sure have blessed hands in the kitchen. I didn't try any of the baked goods or the deserts. But they're an option that I am fully going to take advantage of next time! The owners mentioned they were robbed and almost gave up! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME OUT AND SHOW SUPPORT FOR THEM! They truly deserve your patronage! Thank you again for the AMAZING meal.

After eating there twice, I'm a believer. This place can definitely make some great Hawaiian meals. Their Kobe ribs were so good we ordered two large trays for our barbecue. Man were they a hit. That's not the only thing they do well, the chicken and pork are seasoned and very well prepared. The staff is some of the coolest, laid back people you will ever find. They are super nice and very helpful. They move quick and swift to keep everything on point. The ambiance is Hawaiian chilled.

You order at the front and wait for your name to be called. But, oh my gosh, I love that one chicken, if there's any fried chicken I crave in portland, it's this. The guava pork ribs were alright. The Hawaiian nachos were okay. I'm generally not a big fan of Kahlua pork since it's plain (there are sauces of course), but I found it to be salty and clash with the poke/chips. Definitely worth trying their desserts and I loved the ube ore cake - I will be trying more.

This time around, while visiting Portland Oregon, my wife and I discovered Da' Hui Hawaiian Bar & Grill nestled on Foster Road, it offers quite an array of known and some less known island cookery. Some of their offerings include supposedly Portland's Best Kalua Pork, the likes of Hawaiian Style Chicken, Lemon Chicken and many, many other dishes ready to entice you. A few of us stopped in for a bite and I must say, none of us were thoroughly impressed! One of my fave dishes - Loco Moco in all its simplicity, I thought lacking. I had their Loco Moco consisting of grilled and lightly seasoned (somewhat bland) beef burger patty served over rice, topped with 2 sunny side up eggs (which can't be made wrong), with grilled/sauteed onions and totally smothered with a less than respectable brown gravy, then served with an okay macaroni salad! Although everything we tried was just okay, I found it nothing to write home about. Not bad, but not great either. It's just a place to get your adequate Hawaiian on!
