  I have a lot of Hawaiian food here in the Portland area. This is the best one!! 10/10 recommended! I would show a picture of my food but I ate it so fast. Everything is seasoned great!

  I was drawn in by the signage and the bright friendly Vibe and the willingness to try something new. I just happen to be in the neighborhood and to be honest I never eat Hawaiian food so I figured let's give it a shot. After a friendly discussion with the woman working here i decided to get the number 20. Kahlua Pig and garlic chicken. It's very delicious. The flavors are rich and bold. The pig has a very distinct smokey open wood flavor to it. That flavor stands up well against the chili seasoning. I ordered it medium hot. It is a sneaky red pepper heat. I wasn't sure what to expect from the garlic chicken but I really like it. With the fried crispy outside I did not expect the meat itself to be so succulent and tender. The greens under the chicken really absorb the garlic flavor and I encourage you to make sure that you dig into them right away and not to leave them for the end of the meal . The Ambiance is really chill. There are a couple booths directly outside the restaurant beneath a patio that they built. They are also a couple picnic tables out of the parking lot. The portion was very generous for the cost. It's enough to feed me for two meals. I didn't come anywhere near finishing it.

  The sign clearly says that they cooked the food from scratch it’s not buffet and it’s not fast food but when I order a burger and it comes to me in less than five minutes and it’s overcooked and obviously In a heat warmer and you’re just throwing it on the grill and warming it up also your The oil the fries are cooked in makes them taste gross. You need to buy better oil or clean it or something so yeah, I basically picked through the burger fed a little bit to my dog and then realized maybe Feeding this to my dog yeah is a bad idea it’s a lie every time I’ve gone here. It’s never been fresh. It’s never been cooked to order. It’s always Here’s my food false advertisement I paid for a burger I didn’t eat and she got tip girl With glasses, yeah you didn’t deserve that Tip

  Food and service were fantastic. As far as carts go they are pretty nice, with interior and outside seating. It's all very clean and comfortable. But, it being a cart is why I marked it 3 stars. I used to build resteraunts and I'm neurotic about the carpentry, the design,the paint job, wheelchair access... It honestly interferes with my dining experience. It's a problem, I know. anyways... The food was fantastic. I really liked the coconut shrimp, and their orange chicken. I sat down inside for half my meal, before being called away on an emergency at home. But, while I was there they gave me a couple samples. Which I appreciated and will choose next time. One of the samples was orange chicken, and it's probably the best I've ever had. It wasn't too heavy, which I liked. Amendment #1: I enjoyed the food so much yesterday, that I went back today. I got a combo with pineapple chicken and teriyaki, it's fantastic and can't wait to taste the next menu item. That's what this place does to me. It makes me want to try everything on the menu. In 2 days I've had 2 different combos, and some samples so 6 different items and they were all fresh, not too heavy, excellent flavor and the breadings have been light and crispy so far. Speaking of breading. Their onion rings looked perfect so, I got them as well. They look just like the picture and were some of the best I've ever had. I can say the same for the coconut shrimp. Did I already say that? I honestly can't say enough about this place. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Yesterday, they gave me samples, which is why I'm here today. Smart! Come check it out. It's clean, has an enclosed eating area that's actually pretty nice for a cart. It's super clean, friendly, CONSISTENT and professional. Ive kinda been over carts for a while, but let's face it, if you want some good, close by food, carts are a big factor here in Portland. But, I kinda like it's quirkyness, and the food/staff have totally won me over.
