As luck would have it, there was a sushi place that also had some delicious poke bowls nearby! We made our way here after grabbing coffee just around the corner. It's a very nice and inviting restaurant. They have a good amount of seating, and what looks to be a nice bar. As the name would suggest, they have sushi, burgers, and different Hawaiian style bowls. I grab some Ahi, my better half had an Ahi Hawaiian bowl, and our kiddo had a fried sushi roll. Everything was solid! Portions were good, not great. Service was relatively quick and overall we left happy! Overall, it was a nice place to stop and grab something quick. We weren't wowed, but also weren't left wanting. Well worth checking out!

Food: first time disappointed with the food here. Ordered two different style of Hefty Henry…read moreSandwiches. One was to come with tomatoes, one not. Ask specifically at least three times that we wanted tomatoe slices on both sandwiches. Neither had tomatoes. More on this under service. Both, regular customer eaters, said "something is missing" as the sandwiches tasted "tastsless" from the past. The lettuce, mayo mixture seemed to have no mayo and no flavor. Positive: the fries were excellent and so was the lemonaid. Serivce: NONE Asked for a couple slices of tomato and was told I could only get that if I paid for a side dish! I was too blown away to even argue. If the server, with a bad attitude, could not spare two slices of tomato (even if I was wrong) to keep a life long customer (50 years) and a good review, then something is seriously going wrong with this business. No one ever came by our table and asked if we needed anything, boxes, drink refills, nothing. NO SERVICE Ambiance: everything we expected and we are pleased with it.

The Riv has incredible potential, but unfortunately the experience didn't live up to the setting…read more The building itself is stunning--a beautifully restored historic church with a warm atmosphere, a great soundtrack, and even some of the original pews repurposed as seating. It's a unique space that's worth seeing. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The restaurant appeared significantly understaffed, and most of the menu items we wanted weren't available. Ordering and paying at the counter isn't necessarily a problem, but for a restaurant of this size it creates an inefficient experience and leaves guests without much support once they've ordered. Once the food arrived it 45-minutes later, it was underwhelming and looked like items from a grocery store deli. I hope they're able to address the staffing and kitchen issues, because the venue deserves a dining experience that matches its character. Until then, hesitate to go.

I've eaten here five times now. I think I'm officially addicted…read more On two occasions, I've ordered the Big Kahuna. Currently listed at $15, it comes with double rice, double mac, a slice of pineapple, pulled pork, beef ribs, and barbecue chicken. The Big Kahuna is probably the best value on the menu. For me personally, it's big enough to split, or to feed me for a whole day. While I loved the Big Kahuna, I'm not really a big fan of pulled pork. The third time I came in, I ordered the Ginger Beef. I liked it, but honestly not as much as any of the three meats that came with the Big Kahuna. The next two times, I ordered the large teriyaki chicken with extra sauce, to go. The flavor is basic in the best way possible. It's not necessarily interesting or innovative, but is exactly what I expect when I think of good teriyaki chicken. It's tender, flavorful, and perfectly charred. The pulled pork tastes like it was cooked in a slow cooker, or via some kind of process that took a very long time. It just falls apart in your mouth. The rice and mac are also plain in the best way possible. Traditional and plain, but still perfectly done. This has become my favorite lunch spot in Hood River. It's hard to not eat here every day.

Went around lunchtime--it was pretty busy, but the line moved quickly and orders came out fast. The…read moremenu focuses on Hawaiian BBQ staples like teriyaki chicken, pulled pork, etc. Most plates are around $10, and the portions are hefty for the price. I ordered the teriyaki chicken plate. The meat had a nice smoky char and a sweet-salty glaze (from the smoker outside). Not served piping hot, but still reason temperature, not super-tender either though. One piece had a slightly acrid taste, probably over smoked, but the rest was solid. The rice was standard. The mac salad was chilled, creamy, and well balanced--mayo-based with shreds of carrot, bits of green onion, and a light touch of pepper. Overall, a classic Hawaiian plate lunch. Fast, filling, and good value.

The ice cream was just as impressive. Their sundaes are made with a homemade fruit purée that isn't overly sweet, which lets the natural fruit flavor shine through.

Our only suggestion would be to consider using plastic cups instead of the paper-style cups, as we think they would work better for our drinks We'll definitely be back!
