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 have tried kava before but my boyfriend hadn't so we stopped here on a Tuesday afternoon…read more We both ordered the strong batch and an açai bowl. 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.

The chicken was was juicy and flavorful. The kalua pork was very tender and the medium sized order was big. The moco loco was my personal favorite. The patty had good taste as did the gravy. The egg was done perfectly even with it being delivered. The musubi was good and I liked the egg addition. Good food

The food here is salty and taste like it was made yesterday to be served up today…read more Service was poor, wait staff was rude and treated us like we were an inconvenience. The ambiance is disgusting because the bathrooms are located by the seating area and constantly smell like someone has plumbing issues. Not to mention, there are always used towel on the ground, a dirty sink and sometimes working sometimes full toilet. The last time we were here we witnessed the staff setting to go orders on the ground!!! Stay far away from this place unless you want diarrhea or something worse! Someone should call the health inspector on this establishment.

The drinks were straightforward but sweet and tasty, served in tiki mugs. We shared the mixed slushie for fun, which was delightful. We appreciated that they were open early, as we were only passing through Portland. The bar was practically empty.

The location was easy to find, but as with most places out here, can be a little challenging but doable. The place is big. There's a lot of seating indoor and has an outdoor area with bench seating like back home. Already hitting all the positives. The guy at the register is awesome, reminded me of my nephew. He took our order and gave us a buzzer. We sat outside and within minutes our buzzer went off. On the other side of the register is the pickup area. The guy pointed out each entree and repeated what it was. Even though I already knew what the entrees were, I actually appreciated that. It was good customer service. The food was like kanak attak. The portion was humongous. The poke nacho style wonton chips with spicy poke and kalua pig was broke da mout on point! With 3 of us sharing, we couldn't finish it, but made sure we ate all the poke so no left over lol. We also had the meat jun and garlic chicken. They were just as good. Only thing I was not 100 percent happy with was the rice and mac salad. Rice may be fresh but seemed day old to me and the mac salad needed to be thrown out. I did tell the guy. It was starting to have that sour smell. I know they didn't know, but as a local, we know and we have to support each other so everyone stay happy.

We were so excited to finally give this place a go! It was poppin at 5pm on a Tuesday afternoon…read morewhen we arrived. Street parking was a little tricky but we figured it out. The setup is order at the counter and then find a spot to eat. They have a nice covered area outside but it was a bit hot that day so we quickly found a nice table in the restaurant. The food was ready quickly and the portion was epic! We shared an order of poke nachos, a side of Mac salad, spam musubis and a mango mochi square and it was definitely the right choice to share. The poke nachos were unreal. The chips tasted like wonton chips and they gave SO much poke. Delicious. The Mac salad was good as were the spam musubis. We were too full for the mochi after dinner but I worked on it over the next two days and it was so delightful. So moist and chewy, perfect texture. My only knock was how sticky/gross the trash/busing area were. I'm sure that's common with the amount of sauce on each plate but it probably should be cleaned more frequently as it attracts flies. That being said, we will most certainly come back!

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!
