Came here for a late breakfast/very early lunch on Sunday when I was at the farmers market. Since I was eating lunch at 10am there wasn't a long line and they had the entire menu available. When I ordered she told it would be about 10 minutes. I wasn't really paying attention to the time so I couldn't say if it took more than that. There are not a lot of tables at the market sometimes you just have to eat wherever you can sit down. That's not the fault of the cart that's just how the city designed the space. I ordered the garlic chicken which was a generous portion of chicken, rice, and Mac salad. I loves the super crispy fry on the chicken. Plus the sauce was really great. I'm not a Mac salad fan but my husband said it was good. Overall I had a good experience. While this isn't my favorite location for food carts, I'd come back here. read more

Paradise Grindz - Garlic Chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Serving Hawaiian food if you're in the Tigard area with decent selection and large portions. PARKING: Given this was a food cart in the midst of the Tigard Farmer's Market there a lot of street parking. It was a busy Sunday when we went so be prepared to walk if necessary. AMBIANCE: Being in the market, it was crowded and there is limited seating. There were a few tables with shade, as well as a grassy area to sit down to eat. Nice farmer's market vibes. SERVICE: They definitely had a line. The young lady who helped us was very busy. She was nice enough to tell us and the rest of the people in line about what foods of which they had run out (which was quite a bit). Not sure if that's a good sign of their popularity or being under prepared for a busy day but there were a lot of things we wanted to eat that weren't available including the mac salad. FOOD: Poke Nachos: I really liked that they were on wonton chips because those are just the perfect vehicle to carry poke. The fish itself came in large chunks and I think the lomi salmon was missing because they ran out of that as well. There were no green onions on it and really looked nothing like what the pictures had on their IG and online so it was disappointing to be honest. Garlic Chicken: The chicken itself was dressed really well in the garlic sauce. It was a little dry but the sauce definitely helped. They had run out of Mac salad so they offered some fried noodles as a substitute which was okay. OVERALL: I felt a little let down to be honest. They had run out of a lot of stuff and the quality did not seem on par with the reviews I'd been reading. Possibly just a busy day for them but I guess we'll have to come earlier? We did get there around 1230PM so I guess that was too late. They had also run out of some of their specials including the lau lau which I wanted to try. I'll probably give them another chance some time since I love Hawaiian food. read more

If you're in downtown Tualatin and craving authentic Hawaiian flavors, do yourself a favor and visit Paradise Grindz. This family owned food cart is something special. Seeing the whole family working together was honestly heartwarming. You can feel the pride and love they put into their food, and they were incredibly patient answering all my questions about the menu. First off, the prices are so affordable and reasonable, especially for the quality and portion sizes you get. And I don't say this lightly, I've eaten at Hawaiian restaurants and food carts all over California, throughout Portland, Las Vegas, and even in Oahu and Maui. In my experience, this is by far the best I've had. I ordered the Paradise Bowl, which comes with ahi tuna poke and kalua pork over rice, topped with their majah sauce, their version of spicy mayo mixed with sriracha, plus unagi sauce and tobiko or masago. The poke was incredibly fresh and high quality. The kalua pork was cooked perfectly. It was slightly salty for my personal preference, but after a gym session it honestly hit the spot in the best way. I also got a side of lau lau, tender, buttery pork wrapped in edible taro leaves, seasoned and steamed to perfection, wrapped in foil to lock in all that heat and flavor. It was so rich and satisfying that I had to save half just so I could enjoy it again later that evening. The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and the overall experience left me excited to come back and try more of their menu, especially the weekend specials. Highly recommend supporting this amazing local family business. You won't regret it. read more

So worth driving an hour to experience some absolutely delicious Hawaiian food! I ordered both the Laulau plate lunch and the Garlic fried chicken plate, both of which were so yummy! I rate the good, clean, attractive environment and friendly service a 10 out of 10 read more

Oh my gosh, the food here is quite amazing. The chicken was seasoned fantastically. The best part was the price point and the abundance amount of food in each offer. My husband and I ordered the fried chicken, garlic chicken and the firecracker chicken. All of which were very tasty. As a first time comer, we would highly suggest the garlic chicken. It was very good. The owner greeted us, asked if we had any questions then proceeded to take our order. It was very quick. There are a lot of outdoor seats with umbrellas for bright and sunny days. There is a park nearby as well to enjoy the outdoor activities and atmosphere. read more

My friend wanted to come here after seeing the lausubi all over social media. I'm not a huge laulau fan, but there are many options to choose from. I went with the volcano nachos. It was huge, the lid couldn't even close. It came with lomi salmon, kalua pig, poke, & the chips were wonton chips, topped with their sauce. The chips were nice & crisp & everything paired well together. I ate all the chips, so those would be soggy later & took the remaining home, so I could eat it over rice later. So delicious & hit the spot. We don't have many options when it comes to food like this on the other side of the bridge, so this was great. They're located in a cute park that has tables to eat & bathrooms. Will definitely be back. read more

Great option for a calm day at the park. This is one of the food trucks in downtown Tigard that has a very nice seating area and restrooms nearby, making the area complete. I had a shaved ice for dessert under the spring sun and I felt very good with it. read more

Come support a local family owned business. Paradise Grindz serves up authentic Hawaiian food. The food cart is located in the Universal Plaza in Tigard. They have a regular menu and specials, too. The owners are super nice, their daughter that helps out and takes orders is adorable. There's quite a few choices for Hawaiian food in the area. This one shouldn't be missed. Service is always pleasant. They serve it fresh, which means there's a wait. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesday. Make sure to check them out. read more

My sister was craving poke nachos, so we ordered that along with a side of mac salad. The poke nachos were pretty good, but I wish the wonton chips had been made fresh since some tasted a bit stale. The mac salad was just okay, I've definitely had better. read more

I tried their pork Laulau today and it's too salty. I think if the amount of salt can be dialed down a bit, this would be more delicious. The liquid smoke flavor has to come through if being used in the ingredients. Everything else is perfect except too salty! One method I use to test if it's too salty is to put a sample at the top of my tongue and extract the juice out of the meat. If there is a slight burning flavor then it's too salty. read more

If we lived closer, I could see us coming here a lot! Honestly pretty good prices for a massive kahlua nacho tower that made me widen my eyes when we got it. The workers are definitely nice and smiled at our reactions, which I'm sure they get a lot. The pork was super tender and not super salty, like a lot of Hawaiian joints can be sometimes. The guy in front of us took the last of the poke (we got there around 12:30p) which sounded good to try too. It's a nice little food truck spot with kids playing and people with their dogs! read more

Paradise Grindz - Kahlua nachos with a side of mac salad - Hawaiian Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

When you want to support a family business and know that the food is authentic, this Hawaiian food cart is one of our family's favorite spots. We love the fried combo plate that comes with fried chicken, noodles, rice, and Mac salad. And if you love poke nachos with super crispy wonton chips, this is where it's at. Love their hospitality and aloha vibe, reminds me of the islands. Their speciality is their Lau Lau, which is why I decided to check them out in the first place! Can't find a good spot for Lau Lau here on the Westside of Portland. Mahalo to this family, bringing good food and the spirit of Aloha to our community! read more

Finally, a Taste of Home!! Best Local food I've had in a while. Sistah Shay did her thang and hooked up the noodles. I was craving for manapua kine noodles and it was on point. Tried the LauLau late...ONO. Tried the Manapua Spesho...ONO. Tried the Garlic Chicken...ONO. But my absolute favorite was the Poke Nachos Hands down the best I have had since forever. I don't know how she made the plate close because da Buggah was Monstah!! Need to make another trip soon! read more

Went on a 95-degree day hoping to get a couple of shaved ice. Walking up, we were quickly informed they were out of everything but chicken. The young lady was kind enough to let us know they still had shaved ice, but did not inform us that they had no ice on hand. We waited 30 minutes, only to watch "her uncle" go with a pull cart to the corner store to get ice. The family immediately after us was told they weren't accepting any payment due to possibly not having enough ice, even though we had already paid. Overall, the shaved ice was good, but they hadn't considered people may want something cold on a hot day. read more

Loved Shaye's cooking when she was working from her house. Now she's got a pod at the Tigard Food Carts and the plate lunches are still huge and still so delicious! She still does catering and trust me, we've ordered that a few times with nothing but praises from our guests. If you know, you know! read more

Ample portions of chicken in the Fried Platter. The fried chicken batter is very sweet, placed on a bed of noodles. The noodles have great flavor and the side of rice is perfectly cooked with the right amount of moisture and no dried or overcooked grains. This time around we also ordered the kalua pork dish. It was nice and moist, and delicious. read more

Really good food, amazing family run food truck with great service, and so accessible (especially when visiting Tigard's farmer's market)! The volcano nachos (pork and ahi over fried wontons) were delish every time I went. Fiancé loved the Kahlua plate. Get there early cuz they sell out almost every time we have gone... nommm nommm read more

Loved that this plate actually comes with lomi lomi salmon. Most places here on the mainland don't add it to Hawaiian plates. The lau lau was delicious - the kalo leaves were nice and tender. Would be even better with poi, but it's less popular and harder to get here, so that's totally understandable. So stoked on this plate! Thank you! read more

I am Hawaiian and come from a family of really great cooks of local "kine" food. I'm always sad when I realize it's Monday or Tuesday, and they aren't open. LOL But then really happy on Wednesday through Sunday when they are! The Garlic Chicken with Fried Noodles (I think it's called the Fried Combo) is my favorite. But I've tasted the food that friends have ordered and everything is YUMMY! read more
