My friends and I generally like this place! The musubi is a crowd favorite and we like their poke bowl, mac salad, and fried rice. Unfortunately our meals were extremely salty last time, which made it hard to eat, but otherwise the flavor and food quality was good. Seemed like a one off though. read more

Ate-Oh-Ate Grill - Poke - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Reviewing is subjective. Ate oh ate's long been known for its burgers, as it's owned by the same folks as laurelhurst grill and reverend's bbq, places known for their meat. The burger was a bit dry. The bun a bit fluffy but it held up well. Salad was generous but a bit simple. Friendly guy at the counter. Atmosphere fairly bland. read more

We have tried the other location and both are good :) This location was CRAZY busy with take out/ pick up orders but we didn't end up waiting terribly long. The seating is good and the ambiance is cute, local art and stuff cute. Food is good we love a good Hawaiian place. The only complaint we have (personal preference) is that the katsu is not as chunky/ crispy fried like we like but flat crispy. Still good though! I got the kids plate cause the regular serving is a lot. read more

I needed a take out lunch really fast and was already parked across the street so I ran in hoping they would do a take out order that wasn't called in. Whoa, are they fast. My order was pretty big and it was packed up ready to go within five minutes! Food was great. My friend loved it too. Looks like most business is take out. The smell the whole neighborhood up. I hope heaven smells like that! read more

First time eating at Ate-Oh-Ate. The inside was nice, clean and we were welcomed as we entered. All of the food we ordered was just fine, nothing exceptional. The prices were very reasonable. We'd come back in the right situation but would not go out of my way. read more

I would not recommend this place for a few reasons: The pictures on their website show the Chicken Teriyaki with a lot of sauce. The only sauce you get is what was cooked into it and you have to spend about an extra $15 to get the amount of sauce pictured on the menu. The Kalua Pig was good the first time we ordered it. Then, the next time it was watery - no flavor. And chicken thighs we got had bones in it. Also beware of ordering online. You may not get your food and if you do not, they will not refund your money. That is a lot of money to be out. Also, oddly, right after signing up to order online I started getting some bad spam in my email. Most of the people who work there are nice tho. The food is okay - but not consistent. It's nice to not have to cook. But it is not worth it to go here. read more

Got takeout , food was ready on time, hot and tasty. Although I would like if they offered all chicken dishes with thighs

We love Ate-Oh-Ate! They are perfect for take out, delivery or a quick sit-down meal. If you're veg or just want to eat less meat, I think they have the best teriyaki tofu I've ever had. Their Mac salad is good, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite. This is a great place for a quick and reasonable meal read more

I eat here every day for lunch. Normally a very good place and food is mighty tasty. When I place my order I usually ask to subtract white rice and add extra Kim chi however I got a very odd response from them and they said no not sorry nothing I called back asking for manager the manager tells me to stop coming. Mind you I've lived across the street and went to our lady of sorrows I tried to track down the owner or owners to no avail so if you want tasty food with horrible customer service go here. Due to my lunch options I still have to go there nearly daily maybe they will get there act together and I can change this review read more

What's not to love? Amazing chicken teriyaki plates, spam musubi hits every time (when avail of course), mochiko chicken = yes please! Took my friend here for her first time last week and she already got it again! read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. This was, without a doubt, the worst attempt at Hawaiian food I've ever had. I ordered two meals and an appetizer, and the only thing even remotely edible was the macaroni salad--which was still subpar but at least wasn't dried out like everything else...even the rice! The chicken was an absolute disaster--dry as a bone, over-seasoned to the point of being inedible, and had zero resemblance to anything remotely Hawaiian--stale, dry, and completely flavorless (except for the overwhelming salt and seasoning). It's honestly impressive how they managed to ruin every part of the meal. If you're craving Hawaiian food, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. I can't believe they have kept the doors open in this place... Never again. What a waste. Nothing like spending $50 on a scoop of Mac salad. read more

Everyone who worked here was really nice, so no issues with staff. They all worked hard and got the food out quickly, place was clean, etc. With that said, I've eaten a lot of local Hawaiian food spots since I left the island, this is definitely the worst- I'm not sure the owners who came up with the menu has ever eaten local food before. Bland. I don't even want to go into the eggs..., poor quality of ingredients. The best part was the Hawaii sun that got imported from Hawaii. I recommend the owners go to the islands and actually eat the food and see the difference. I'm not that picky honestly, and generally an understanding that we aren't on the island, but... this was bad. read more

I've walked by here every 6 weeks for the last 3 years and thought to myself that I should try it...well I finally did and I'm sad I waited so long to do it. I had the chicken katsu with rice and mac salad. It. Was. Bomb! I didn't really like the katsu sauce because it was a bit too sweet for me but the teriyaki sauce though...omg...the mac salad was also delish. The service was great and the inside of the restaurant is really cute. read more

I was bringing food home for the family so I was waiting on answers of what each person wanted (which can get quite annoying) but the lovely hostess who took my order was beyond patient and helpful, even suggesting a drink I hadn't tried yet (Taro with Tapioca pearls) that is DELICIOUS! The food all came hot and quicker than expected, and everyone seated was happily enjoying their meals comfortably. Rowan, the hostess helping me with my order made the experience refreshing, and I'll be returning soon after this. Photo of the new drink included- seriously try it read more

Ate-Oh-Ate Grill - Taro Bubble Tea (can) - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Yes, the meal is pricey, BUT totally worth the hype. Not sure why this location has lower ratings than the one on Burnside but I'm a fan! It's definitely not a weekly meal as it can get pricey but when I'm down for a treat, I'd probably hit them up! I got the fried rice with Portuguese sausage and a fried egg, kimchi, side of Mac salad and a butter mochi cake. The fried rice was excellent but I ordered to go so the fried egg was definitely not runny. I'm sure if I had ate it when I got it, that egg would've been perfection. The fried rice was hella elevated with the kimchi. The kimchi is SO good. Mac salad was excellent as well but I think it also would've been better had I ate it right when I got it. It got room temperature so it tasted a little odd not cold That mochi cake though... damn. Chewy, buttery, so dang delicious! I will be thinking about that cake until I can satisfy the craving again. All in all, a great meal! I wish it was a little more reasonably priced but oh well! read more

Came to participate in fundraiser for a school in the community. The cashier was so open and friendly and welcoming. I ordered a curry bowl, my daughter ordered a salad with teriyaki chicken. The food was brought out to us in a short amount of time, piping hot and delicious! Great first time experience. read more

Food is always great, service is prompt and with a smile. Ambiance is what you would expect. Enjoy the food y'all

Not my favorite Hawaiian food in the city. Mac salad was good and chicken katsu sandwich was okay. Better after getting some extra sauce, it was better. Service was great despite it being busy and the decor was nice too. read more

It's a great local spot that offers tremendous Hawaiian food! I typically order out, but the staff seem kind and will have to order in soon!

It's been awhile since I've gotten food from this Ate-Oh-Ate, and I while I've always been happy with it in the past, tonight was a real disappointment. We ordered delivery and I ordered the chicken teriyaki with mac salad and green salad (no rice). The green salad was fresh and crispy and the only decent part of my meal. There was rice in my dish (I didn't order or want that) but it looked like someone took a few bites of it before they closed the lid?! Maybe that or they did a half assed job of "taking it out"?! (See the photo.) The chicken was simultaneously burnt to a crisp and ice cold. Seriously, how? I gave three stars because they did follow our special instructions, and my husband was satisfied with his meal. But will I get food from here again? Nope. read more

Absolutely love this place. I've been holding out on this place for too long.. I've been here for the past three days in a row. I'm pretty addicted to this teriyaki chicken they have. It's literally the greatest thing right now. The flavor is off the chain. The Mac salad is incredibly awesome too. I called here two days in a row, asking for them to really char the hell out of my chicken and make it black and they deliver every single time. It's my favorite way of chicken to be cooked on a grill charred dark. The pictures I've uploaded doesn't give it any justice. It was absolutely amazingly incredible.. Today's the first day I got the butter mochi and it was insanely good.. I highly recommend this place to anyone. I need a branch out and try more things... but.. like I said I'm pretty addicted to this teriyaki chicken right now damn good. Do yourself a favor and try this place out. It won't disappoint.. Oh yeah the chicken portions are huge. read more

I plan to go back and order more food from them. The only thing I've ever had is their Big Salad and it was REALLY good. I had it with their teriyaki chicken and I added extra kimchi and mac salad. I would definitely get this again but would probably want to explore more of their menu too. They gave me a very generous portion of chicken which I really appreciated so I definitely want to return and I plan to update the review when I had some more of their food options! read more

The short rib plate is not worth the price. This is the first time I've paid $26 for a plate that didn't come with cabbage underneath it. Plus, the marinade was too salty. It's a first and last for me. read more

Service wasn't welcoming , I had high expectations for this place for their plates based on other yelp and social media reviews . On Instagram the plate looked more fuller . We were told the portion sizes were "great ". we paid $22 for this plate the quality and portion does not equal the price we paid We asked to replace rice with salad and even paid extra for it to just be on the side with a box straight out of a bag with some carrots and sauce on top Also paid $17 for an entree of ribs just to be a tiny box (mainly bones with barely any meat) on the side we might as well have gotten another plate or a bowl. We paid a total of $33 dollars + tip just for this ? read more

Always a go-to place to eat. Reasonable prices, friendly people, tasty grinz. Well kept dining area, and comfortable to stay and eat.

We frequent this spot frequently! So good! Love both the Teriyaki and korean Chicken plates! We get food to go when in a pinch and orders are made quickly and also enjoy dinning in as the place has a fun yet casual atmosphere. read more

Finally tried Ate-Oh-Ate last night dinner and I thought it was great! I was hesitant with this locations reviews, seeing as the Burnside reviews are much better. But this was closer to me so I gave it a shot. I called in my order and it was super quick and easy. The guy who answered the phone was also helpful with my questions. I arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes later and my order was already ready. Due to COVID, they have a table at the front door with someone there to take your payment. The woman who took my card was also just as nice as the guy who answered the phone. My boyfriend and I ordered: Chicken teriyaki Korean chicken Fried rice with sausage + chicken cutlet Extra side of mac Everything was really great! Neither of us are kimchi fans but loved the kimchi that came with the korean chicken. It also is more spicy than sweet which is totally our preference! Also, BOTH chicken dishes had the yummy grilled/charred marks on it. You can really tell it was grilled and I love that. Mac salad was also good, more sweet than savory. Their teriyaki sauce is also delicious and next time I go, I'll be buying a bottle of it. We really liked everything and I will definitely be back! read more

Impressively good Hawaiian food with enough tasty options to satisfy a handful of people with diverse tastes. Our group's last carry-out order included everyone's favorite Kalua pig (slow-roasted pork shoulder in banana leaves and steamed cabbage), multiple orders of teriyaki chicken (grilled strips of boneless chicken thighs with extra terikyaki sauce), some katsu pork (fried panko-crusted pork cutlets served with katsu sauce), and the Kalbi ribs (grilled beef short ribs in Korean marinade). All of our dishes came with nicely prepared rice and Ate-Oh-Ate's classic Hawaiian-style creamy mac salad. While we were quite pleased with everything, the delicious mac salad guaranteed the review would be five stars. One of the best carry-out spots in the area. Happy to have this location down on SE Woodstock. read more

Ate-Oh-Ate is Great-So-Great. And not just because of the surfboards hanging from the rafters, the great beers, the tropical bevvies and of course, frisbee golf discs. The food is da kine grinds to the max! The Korean Chicken Plate is my favorite. It's not fried chicken - it's perfectly grilled thighs covered with an amazing Korean sauce. Plus you get two hecking big scoops of rice, a big scoop of mac salad and some great kimchi. The portions are huge so come hungry. Shaka! read more

Ok, this place has hella good Hawaiian food... it's just v pricey I got a spam musubi and a kalbi/teriyaki chicken combo plate. I'm usually not the biggest fan of spam musubis, but theirs are dope. They add some egg with green onion and it's heavenly. They don't advertise that they do combo plates, but you just need to ask. And of course, I made my plate Korean (MIK). Kimchi really helps cut through the heaviness of the meat and mac salad. Seasoning on everything was perfect. Not too salty like a lot of other places and just the right amount of sweetness. I loveeeed the taste of everything. Next time though, I'm just gonna get a big plate of kalbi. Don't get me wrong, chicken teriyaki is good, but kalbi is amazing. read more

Pretty good Hawaiian food, Mac salad was bomb, the pork Katsu was a little dry & the cuts were a bit too big (took me 3-4 bites to eat each cut), but still tasty. The Korean chicken was not what I was expecting (I was thinking Korean fried chicken like back home/zippys), they cook it in a mild spicy sauce and serve it with a side of kimchee which was a nice plus! Would return if in the neighborhood. read more

Solid staple for last minute meals or quick eats. Can't go wrong with Ate-Oh-Ate! Prep sizes are perfect and the food is

Came here during the quarantine, so this review may not be reflective of how the business operates during normal times. I must say that, given the circumstances, these guys handled everything very well. Of course, "social distancing" and whatnot had to be enforced, so I'll leave that part out. Anyway, onto the actual review. I've been waiting to try this place for a year since moving to the area. Yesterday, the timing was right. I ordered take-out, and within placing my order it was out within 10 minutes. I ordered the kaula pig plate, and my buddy got teriyaki chicken. I was so excited to dig in. Everything looked absolutely delicious. It tasted even better. My buddy and I split everything 50/50 so I got to try out both the pork and the chicken. The pork was a bit salty for my liking, but not bad overall. The chicken was kind of rubbery too. But everything tasted pretty good. Pricing was reasonable considering the portion sizes and the area. $25 for both of our meals. Only reason for the 3 stars is because it wasn't absolutely jaw-dropping, but it gets the job done. If you're craving Hawaiian food in southeast Portland, give this place a go! read more

Food here is ok but the pork, chicken, and even tofu are way too salty. The pork is mouth-puckering salty! They would do well to use a low-salt soy or teriyaki sauce, though I doubt this place would accept the possibility of change. read more

These guys have been so consistent, nice, and yummy over the years. I really appreciate them.
