    Chicken Curry Bowl
    Jon O.

    Decent food truck for Hawaiian local plates. Chicken katsu curry was probably our favorite, with tender chicken and tasty curry over rice. Mochi chicken had a good portion size, but was a bit too salty and overcooked, and I wish it had more of the special sauce. I really liked the mac salad that came with it, and would highly recommend a side of mac salad if you order something that doesn't include it. My wife had the jackfruit bowl and although she finished it she said she wouldn't order it again. Service was fast and friendly, so I will be back to try other things.

    Mochi chicken, Mac salad, rice. So good!

    So tasty. We love the mochi chicken and kahlua pork as well as all the sliders. So delicious. The owners are super nice and always are so friendly. We live in kenmore and always love coming to Cairn when they are there. Delicious!

    Hapa Plate, Spam Musubi, and Katsu Chicken Curry.

    Having anything from Pono Plates is like giving your soul a warm hug. The texture of the rice can't be beat, the sauces are delicious. Our personal favorites are the Hapa Plate, where you get a little of everything, and the Katsu Curry. Treat yourself to a salty Spam Musubi. We routinely drive 40 minutes to make sure we get Pono Plate in our bellies.

    Expected pick up.

    I have been craving a delicious rice and meat dish. I stopped by for a to go order on my lunch time…read more. Upon entering there is a little Asian mini mart in there with rice noodles, sauces and a few staple Asian items. They had a display cold case of their pies. The coconut cream pie looked yummy so I bought one. My order was ready within 15 minutes. I ordered the half Huli huli chicken and beef with an extra scoop of rice . Mac salad and a coleslaw was also included. They also have an assortment of small sauces to go, ranching from one star and up. I picked the crying tiger sauce, teriyaki and chili oil . This is a hefty mixed plate, enough for two or to have as leftovers for me. The beef is my favorite, seasoned and sauced well. I added the sauces to the huli huli chicken and it was superb, the chicken was moist and tender. I love Hawaiian Mac salad, it's the better type of Mac salads. I really enjoyed their Mac salad and the coleslaw. The coleslaw was a nice palette cleanser amongst the heavy but comforting meal. The coconut cream pie was good. I was expecting it to be a a little more sweeter, but the coconut flavor is just right. Not too overpowering . I will be back to try more.

    It isn't easy finding good Hawaiian food in Washington, but I'm glad I finally tried this place! So…read moreinsanely flavorful and the sauces really add to the meal. The beef is tender and juicy! Pretty pricey, but the portion sizes are good and I got it on a $10 off sale.

I…read moreordered ahead and scheduled the order so I don't need to wait for my food, and it was ready at exactly the scheduled pickup time, no earlier no later. I got the combo - Hawaiian chicken + karaage requesting extra salad instead of rice, as well as a half order of loco moco. It's nice that there is half order as a lot of Hawaiian restaurants tend to be full orders so it is incredibly hard to try a variety of options if you're solo or in a small group. The Hawaiian chicken and karaage both are juicy and delicious. It's great that the combo is the same price as the standard individual options so I got to try more variety without paying extra. I looked at the reviews and opted to remove the rice and get extra salad which was a good move - their chop chop salad is very delicious with a nice balance of dressing, cheese, and ham. I still had some rice from the loco moco, which was sufficient for me. The loco moco is good - I wished the patty was a bit less tough but the gravy and egg make up for it. Overall, great value and great food. I'd be a regular if I didn't live so far from Kirkland (1 hr drive for food can be challenging in busy schedules)
