Da' Hui - Pulled pork sliders - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Decided to come here for lunch. I ordered their Benton Lunch Special $8 (11am to 4pm, everyday). I picked two meats: Kalua Pork and Teriyaki Ribs. Portions were pleasing for the price. Teriyaki ribs were good, however, the Kalua Pork needs work. The most disappointing part of my dish was the rice. I am not rice snob, but the rice killed my mood. After having it, I no longer wanted to finish my dish. I mean, they could have used sushi rice or a better (brand) of rice. I had to ask for teriyaki sauce to possibly help the rice go down better- nope, I was wrong. Bartender was friendly though. No, I will not be back. read more

I am giving this one star sadly because of the epic downward spiral that happened in front of our eyes in a matter of 40 minutes. The gal that was our bartender at first was amazing and was super friendly and nice. For her I give five stars. The unfortunate thing that happened is when her coworker came in to take over the shift. He was acting very belligerent and then started talking very loudly about how he had to take a "shit" because he just ate half a chicken. This is not a joke. This legit happened. How gross and unprofessional. When he came back from a bathroom break his behavior was even more odd and he slapped the female bartender's butt extremely hard and it made all of the bar top patrons including myself extremely uncomfortable. Other bar guests were looking at eachother in disbelief as this did not seem to be friendly or wanted by the female bartender. This guy seemed like he was under the influence of something and his whole demeanor was sloppy and offensive. Needless to say, not going to come back. Sad, because I really liked this neighborhood place before. read more

Perhaps they were just having an off-night when my partner and I were there the saturday night before last, but we had an awful experience. We waited an hour and a half for our food to come out (granted the place was super busy and they were clearly understaffed) When we finally got our food, it was totally bland, had no sauces or seasonings or anything to give it flavor. The server was favoring one or two of the other tables and kept ignoring us. Just overall, there was a very hectic and stressful vibe in the place and as the clock kept ticking and we still hadnt gotten our food, we were constantly debating just getting up and leaving- even though we already paid for our food. Giving it 2 stars instead of none because the drink service was fast enough and the interior was cute. Wouldve been a nice place to hang out had the food service not been a total mess. read more

Still giving this five stars but changing pretty much everything- food has improved a LOT. Now it's wellllll worth the price. And they haven't jacked up the prices like most places. Also the drinks are actually amazing now. I know I got some laugh reacts last review, and I assume it's because a lot of people prefer a heavy pour but honestly if you want a cup of mostly booze you shouldn't want to pay cocktail prices. If I'm paying for a cocktail I want a COCKTAIL. And now they are sooooo delicious! This place was already 5/5 stars and they just keep getting better! Elizabeth convinced me to come back around a while ago and she was SO RIGHT. She's amazing, and honestly almost TOO sweet and talented! This is a must-go-to bar! read more

I was so surprised to see slot machines but also i thought it was cool. I didn't order drinks but the food was great. I liked the service a lot and they decorations were fun. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere, super nice staff! Their outdoor social distancing dining area is my favorite one in town! read more

Went in on a Saturday during the day. My friend and I weren't greeted upon walking in. The bartender didn't even look our way. Mind you there are only six other customers. After standing at the bar for five minutes, we decided to sit at a table and wasn't approached or looked at by any employees. We decided to go up to the bar again and five minutes later finally ordered. We ended up ordering a pina colada and two musubis for a snack. We ended up sitting for 10+minutes waiting for a musubi....mind you these are just spam on top of rice... which I can make at home in less than a minute. We went up to the bar and the bartender was busy talking to another customer. Our musubis were sitting waiting to be taken out. Bartender finally noticed us and gave us the musubis without acknowledging that they had been sitting there. I feel bad for the kitchen guy because he was hitting the bell for the musubis to be taken out and she did not even bat an eye. the server made our 10 minute snack endeavor into an hour of irritation. Wont be coming back during the day. Food was good props to cook. The bartender was a woman w blue hair and tattoos on her face. read more

Staff here are on the ball, friendly, and cool. The whole menu here is wicked tasty. The mixed drinks are stiff, the beer is cold, and they have a comprehensive list of mocktails available. The decor alone is worth the visit. read more

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for the last six months. I will say the food is always stellar, but the service is SO hit or miss... even if it takes seemingly forever to get a drink it's always good, and once you order food it comes up quick. All that being said, the ten times we've gone there it seems like half the time the staff is welcoming and the other half the time they seem to take a crap in their pants that you even decided to walk through the door. Sometimes you are served right up however many times you sit and you sit to get your first round. Usually I'm like "it's their loss. Could have sold another round and made more of a tip in the time it took to get our one round and food..." The drinks are boozy enough I probably didn't need a second. Tonight was by far the worst. I was SO excited to bring my sister-in-law there from Vegas. They have some great tiki bars there... and I wanted her to try it out. She was excited as well, and was especially interested in the food. The wait staff didn't say hi, just told us to take a seat wherever we want and never came over to the table. Ten minutes later I ended up walking up to the bar and ordering drinks for the table and grabbing us menus, after the bartender took orders from people arriving after us. I ordered a Painkiller for the sis and myself and a Pink Panther for my girlfriend. When our drinks arrived I was surprised to find our Painkillers blended, no nutmeg on top, and no type of garnish whatsoever. Usually you get an umbrella with a pineapple wedge and a cherry... and no you don't blend a Painkiller unless it's requested. Already dissapointed I decided to try it. What greeted my palate was nothing but a mouthful of rum and nothing in between. I tried one more sip and couldn't handle it. I'm a pretty regular drinker and I couldn't even pretend to enjoy this. My poor sister-in-law was looking forward to her one and and only drink. This wasn't going to be her drink. Not after experiencing the amazing Painkillers we shared on the island of Roatan in the Caribbean. I walked up to the bar with both drinks waiting for the bartender to come by. Instead I watched them take orders from three tables that arrived after us and then once they got to us I ushered them over to the bar. I informed them that the drinks tasted really strong and usually they aren't blended. They just appoligized so I asked to just pay and leave, while setting the full drinks up at the bar. My girlfriends drink was fine sans garnish so I thought I should at least pay for hers. What came next was a $33 tab for all the drinks and no offer to replace or refund the drinks! I never do this. Complain about a drink. But THIS was just so gross. I've never left a Yelp review... so I was so beyond shocked that this person had no common sense I just paid the tab AND tipped them $7. We then proceeded to drive across town and wait 40min to be seated at Hale Pale and had an amazing time and some amazing service. The food wasn't even as good, but I don't think I want to go back to this place for a while until they figure out how to just say "Hi how's it goin" and/or "I'll be with you in a few minutes." OH... and if somebody has the balls to actually say "this drink isn't what I expected at all. It's rather horrible?" Try working with the customer to refund them or offer a different drink! I'm giving this place two stars because the food is good and there is like one bartender who seems to know to at least pretend to enjoy their job. read more

Service, atmosphere, and service were great, 5 stars. The spam masubi was good, but I wish the spam was grilled more.. steak bites were overdone. Overall, very cool spot though and they are likely working with a limited staff.. so still 5 stars! read more

my partner and i have ordered take out from here before and it was really good. last night we went in for dine in and it was a different experience. my partner got the kalua pork plate and i got the shoyu chicken tacos... long story short i called out of work today because i have salmonella poisoning. the chicken tastes fine under all the sauce and coleslaw, but it definitely was a little too sour for my liking.... makes sense now the pork was good, id go back, but definitely not eating chicken at a bar ever again read more

So good! As I type this, I'm finishing up my leftovers. I thought I didn't like Hawaiian food, but maybe I just don't like that one Hawaiian fast food chain, because that's pretty much all I'd had previously. Since I thought I didn't like Hawaiian food, I ordered the grilled cheese- it has grilled pineapple rings on it, and a drizzle of guava jam. I'm not sure what cheese they're using, but it has a chewier texture- more like moz than Kraft Single- and a mild flavor that lets the unusual condiments shine. My girlfriend ordered the shoyu chicken, and I'm embarrassed to say I think I ate at least a quarter of her chicken. It was so delicious. I just kept sneaking bits off her plate and trying to trade her some of my french fries in exchange for more. We got drinks, too- a Blue Hawaiian for her, and the Lava Flow for me. I was worried a blended, fruity drink was going to be too sweet, but it was perfect. It was too big for me to finish, but only $8! My total of two meals and two drinks before tip was like $34. The service was great, the food was wonderful, they were playing oldschool punk at a reasonable volume, and I'm already craving more chicken. I gotta find out if any of the food delivery services will deliver to my house from Foster. read more

Loved their cocktails! They have a good selection of Hawaiian cocktails! They are so big that you can get full just from drinking. We also got the garlic chicken plate to share. The garlic chicken could have been crispier and the sauce was a bit too salty. Overall it was still good! read more

I love bars like this. Tacky, but absolutely unpretentious. Da hui is a dive bar. Not a hip bar trying to be a dive, but the real deal. I'm glad. It's nominally a tiki bar, and they have all manner of ridiculous drinks, including quite a few blended offerings. They are strong and cheap, as dive bar drinks should be. Including the slushies in the machine! The child in me appreciates the novelty, and the adult in me appreciates that they're strong enough to help dull the pain of a late capitalist society teetering on collapse. Speaking of strong drinks, there is a rum punch on offer. It is absurdly large and quite strong (notice a theme?) and it is recommended that two people split it. The food is nothing too special, a mix of competently made bar offerings and a couple of Hawaiian dishes. The pork rinds in particular are quite good. They're airy, savory, and fried to a perfect crisp. The best part of the bar however, is the staff. They are friendly, and very efficient. The fact that they have a sense of humor is a plus too! Tl;dr: go here. Eat fried food and drink silly drinks. Leave happy. read more

Despite having never actually been on an island (not counting, say, England or the Big Apple), I like to attribute a lot of things to my half-island blood. Loving the sun, for example, and cursing this blasted rain. Preferring to run about barefoot. Adoring pineapple and all things starch. Not remembering to lock my doors. But then there's the other, snowy white half of my blood chemistry. The part that likes to have its chicken and rice delivered by servers with their food handlers' cards. The part that requests more than an arm's length of space between me and the next guy. The part that likes irony and doesn't know how to pronounce Da' Hui. Both halves like this place. The portions are generous and the sauces are swell. The staff are cool, in a hang loose kind of way. The decor suits a surfery, sorta tiki mood, and that all works well for me. I brought my parents mid-day on a Saturday, and it was comfortable and relaxed and everyone left the table happy and full. I even left a little flattered, after being asked if I was over 21 when we went to sit in the lounge. My mom told me that she was asked for her ID until she was almost 40. I think with her youthful genes and my island blood to boot, I might have some good years of chicken- and rice-eating left in me yet. read more

BIG drinks, HUGE portions, GREAT prices, CHILL vibes! Came in today with my mom for a much needed lunch break and we left BEYOND SATISFIED!

Hawaiian food meet Dive Bar. It's a nicer dive bar with some decent food. First, they have daily specials on drinks - 1 tall drink for $4 and one well drink for $3 - daily rotation on the specials offered. Now, the food at a dive bar doesn't have a bunch of deep fried calorie bombs but, actually plated hawaiian food. prices are reasonable with most plates being between $9-12. The meat portions are big and generous and the food is better than you'd expect. The marinated kalbi ribs were absolutely delicious. Get them. read more

Don't go off of the Yelp prices for carry out. My food order was supposed to be $18 and they charged me $30. I was told I should have looked at their website and wasn't offered any price reduction. Pretty sheisty for subpar HI food. read more

If you are in search of a "tiki bar", keep moving along. Da'Hui ain't a tiki bar, it's a Hawaiian bar, with tasty musubi, potent drinks and bartenders that DON'T sugar coat shit or kiss your ass. Which personally, I'm a fan of!! I'm sick of going to places with generic, fake ass bartenders who have artificial conversations, just to make YOU feel good about your mediocre self. I LOVE the bartenders at Da'Hui!!! They tell it like it is, and it's 90% of the time hilarious, LMFAO. With a few of these ladies, you never know what conversations may arrive and that's what keeps me coming back, the raw, unapologetic, fun loving and fuck yea personalities of each of them!!! You want an unforgettable, unpredictable, yet safe, fun and laugh your Ass off ,SE Foster experience? This is your place! *It ain't for you overly sensitive about life mofo's. read more

We're talking the best Kalbi ribs I've had in town, delicious Kahlua pork, juicy chicken yakisoba, and huge drink specials - all for $3-5 cheaper than Hale Pele or Ate-Oh-Ate (although I like those places too). They have three happy hours a day. They have great sexy velvet paintings on the wall. I balk at the term "dive bar", but it's rough around the edges in the best way. Reminds me of Arnold's in Oahu if it was run by Lemmy Kilmeister. The bartenders are sweet and real. Bathrooms are a little jank, and the wire spool smoking tables outside can get a little caustic, but I'm putting the fifth star back in because they absolutely styled out my GFs birthday with colorful placemats, leis, beads, and candy as a surprise to us, and with all the generosity embodied in the word "aloha". I can't stay away from this place, and if that means I gotta jog five days a week, so be it. read more

Bartender stole $4.00 from my video poker and laughed about it to his coworker. The plate I've normally gotten ( which is normally fantastic) was full of fat and about half of the normal size. Felt like I was run out even after asking for it to go and it came on a plate. Felt like an ads when I asked for a box. Tipped $7 on a $20 bill and then was still stolen from. Not sure what that was about but, maybe check your cameras to see what else is getting jacked. read more

Man with the long ugly pony tail who works there is on a power trip. Terribly rude. 0 people skills. Feel bad for the guy though. Our server with the short hair was the sweetest. She saved the day. read more

Da'Hui is hands down the tastiest, more affordable lunch special in the neighborhood. I recommend the Bento Box with pork and chicken. It's one of the rare places you can stop in for lunch and a cider and leave with a less than $15 tab. Plus the bartenders are incredible. They'll chat if you want to chat, and leave you alone if you've got work to do. read more

First time here and the food was delicious. Friendly, effect waiter. Love the decor as well, very cute with upbeat happy music! I highly recommend. read more

NOT a tiki bar. It's just a dive bar with Hawaiian sounding menu items and some fish decor. Maybe a net and some glass floats hanging around. Bartender is nice, but seems confused about theme of the place. My Wife and I just wanted to drink our drinks(tiki drinks?), and move along. read more

People are cool. Beer is WAY over priced, 7.50$ for a Hanalei??? Food only seems to be awesome when one certain cook is there. Very open minded bar, which I love. Unique food options as far as Foster Rd goes. Bathrooms are a bit icky to me, but hey, it's a bar. I've been there for Karaoke, and even though I typically hate that, it seemed really organic & fun there! I'll go back for sure, the 3 stars is mainly for the bathrooms & expensive beer that is cheap lol. read more

So my mother in law decided to treat my husband and I to a Fourth of July and what a treat it was. From the start our server, Elizabeth was amazing. The best service I've EVER witnessed, and that's coming from a server. The food was so delicious and flavorful, and the Maui Mamoussa is the perfect thing to order when ordering off this brunch menu. This was my first time eating here, but it is far from my last. Can not wait to come visit again. Thank you for an amazing dining experience. read more

Da' Hui - Maui mamoussa - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Went to DaHui for the first time today. Being a local cook from Hawaii we wanted to experience the atmosphere and food. The Bar was clean and reminded me of local Hawaii hometown bars. Bartender was attentive and social. We sampled 5 different dishes on the menu. The kalua pork and the garlic chicken was definitely outstanding! Probably two of best items on the menu and around town. If you're looking for great atmosphere, local Hawaiian style food and peeps this is one place you have to check out! Much Alohas to the staff for great food and service!!! read more

Rad little gem on foster in SE. DELICIOUS food, huge portions, amazing bartenders and an overall fun vibe!

I ate here for a late dinner last week and was underwhelmed. Full disclaimer: I came home from Kauai a week ago so the bar was high. I found this place to just be bland. The portion size is pretty good. We shared a Kalua pork plate and a chicken plate. They got my side order request wrong and the food took a long time to come out. I'd say go to Noho's or Ohana if you're craving Hawaiian. Both are better. read more

Had a pretty bad experience here came in ate food was and it was super awesome the bartender changed half way through our meal. I went to order another drink and my I.d. Was at the table so I said I had been here for 45 mins and I don't understand why I would need to go grab it. She than refused me service and said she just got there witch kinda seem like you own problem if you don't have awareness in your own bar. Also the before bartender got about a 50% tip form us so I guess its her loss for people that want to stay clear of her she has a half shaved head with a pony tail. Also the bartender before was very attentive and awesome. read more

The girl in the white glasses and brown hair REFUSED to serve my friend, a POC while she took all of our other orders. He was the only one who hadn't been drinking and she absolutely refused to give us a reason. Was really excited to meet this neighborhood bar but after seeing that everyone there was white reallllyyyy put us off.... really unfortunate experience. Wish she would've given us a reason. read more

This is my favorite place in Portland to eat and drink! I always get the hungova soup but everything on the menu is amazing. Plus they have 3 happy hours a day and you can get dollar sliders and dollar pbr. Every bartender is warm and inviting too. All around great place. read more

Da' Hui - Hungova Soup - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

So I gotta say I honestly didn't know what to expect- the place looked okay, and the reviews were great, but so far with my experience of "tiki bars" they've been so-so. This place was great! I got the Shoyu Chicken- pretty much Chicken Adobo for those of you familiar. Drinks are great too! Cocktails average $8 (NOT ON HAPPY HOUR! WENT DURING REG DINING TIMES), and it was my birthday so I went ahead and splurged and got myself quite a few. The cocktails amazed me- they actually tasted better than any other cocktail I've had in my four days visiting here. Not overly surgary tasting, very well balanced. Great for a place to chill out and talk with people for a while. Also the bartender was very kind, she was very attentive and came over to check on us as long as she didn't have a line at the bar, as she was the only one manning it on a Tuesday night. Overall would recommend to others! read more

I like Da' Hui because they know how to 1.) Rock 2.) Roll C.) Serve up some yummy goodness to drunken fools like we were after a long night of traipsing in & out of every bar in a two block radius... FYI that's a lotta bourbon & soda for Patrick. Thus the final place to rock on the block had to have some good grubbin' groceries to make us happy and Da' Hui came through with some really delish dishes a la late night and for that they get three stars alone. The fist pumping Moustached DJ was a bonus star and he rocked the house like it was his birthday from up on high in his DJ booth in the sky. I gotta get back to this place, I'm missing it already. Mahalo! read more

This place is pretty bad, everytime I come here someone is screaming at someone about something or my bartender has been a complete bitch because I order wells and they assume I don't tip. I work a job that causes me to live off my tips. I ALWAYS tip because I know what its like. Anyways, I'm here now and everyone is watching a theater recorded bootleg of the hangover two, mostly toothless folk and a "your team crowd." The quote of the day so far is a largely over weight, tank top short shorts women balding yelling " ill kick you in the vagina you whore!" To another similar looking woman. Bar flies.... It's pretty ghetto. But, the only reason I'm giving it three stars is because they pour there drinks strong, strong, strongest and there food is actually rather tastey. It's also about 3 blocks from my house. You have been warned. read more

I typically steer clear of leaving negative reviews, but dannnnnng this place warrants it. The bartender was incredibly surly and barked orders at my group of friends making it uncomfortable. I eventually ordered 2 beers and a rum and coke. She overcharged me by 3 dollars, so I politely mentioned it. She looked at the menu board, rolled her eyes and handed me one dollar. This place looked fantastic (super loved the decor and options) but unfortunately her service and attitude totally sucked it. read more

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but I'm not sure what's up with this place. I haven't had any good experiences here, and the food has never been good. The first time I came here some drunk old bikers were screaming about my friend's breasts, so naturally she wanted to leave immediately. Gross. Fast forward 3 years and we go in, the bartender who was very nice, stopped pouring my girlfriend's beer mid-pour to go out and have a cigarette. I'm not kidding! She comes in, falling over herself apologizing 'oh I forgot, I forgot, I'm so sorry', then forgets to take our food order for another 10 minutes. Food was terrible, but they didn't have to-go boxes so they wrapped up our food in napkins and plastic bags. I'd say you should avoid this place but I think it's implied. Maybe I should give it more chances before leaving a review, but I doubt I'll go back so here we are. read more

I love Da' Hui, but I'll be honest with you and let you know that my very wonderful friend Ellen works behind the bar so I might be a little biased. But really, I have a great time there whether she's working or not. I guess it might be considered a dive bar, but it's not really what I think of as a dive bar. It's not dirty, dingy, old, or full of creepy old men and barflies. It's cute, kept up well, and filled with the best Foster has to offer. Even when I show up alone I always find myself chatting with someone within a minute or two. Most of the people you find there don't put on airs or act like they're cool because of where they live/hang out (I'm talking to YOU Hawthorne!). You will, however, find people having fun and getting their drink on. Seriously. They have ladies night on Wednesday (I think), Karaoke on Thursday, not sure what goes on Friday, and a DJ on Saturday. The place may be small but they keep it rockin'. I've never eaten there but I've heard the food isn't bad, and the $1 pork sliders during happy hour really can't be beat. Seriously, $1?!? Amazing. Their selection of liquor is good, they always seem to have what I want. Can't speak to their beers since I don't drink them. The pours are good, Ellen is the bestest bartender around, and I have yet to have a bad night there. If you're looking for a place that is tons of fun yet somewhat low-key this is the spot for you. Although I almost want to keep it a secret all for myself. So yeah, um, don't go. You'd hate it there ;) read more
