This is the kind of place that always confuses me. It makes me wonder - did they take a trip to Hawaii, eat good food and now decide to go back to their hometown and recreate it. On behalf of all the plate lunch places working hard in the 808 I gotta say this - PLEASE REPRESENT HAWAII BETTER. If you're gonna market it as a "Hawaiian island grill" place, please put in more effort, check out recipes and learn a little bit more. We do not cook this way. The chicken katsu had some kind of weird "crust" on top of it and it was served with two odd-tasting cocktail-like sauces. The butter garlic shrimp had no butter on it and raw garlic sprinkled on top like garnish along with loads of furikake. On the plus side, the eating area was clean. There was lots of parking. Mahalo for that. read more

Da Kindz Island Grill - Ribs - Hawaiian Near Me - Sequim, Washington

This is a food truck serving Hawaii menu. There's outdoor seating. Ordered the Loco Moco full meal entree. Beef patties were tasty and fried eggs were done right. The only minus was the rice was too mushy. I also ordered the bbq chicken. But it was a little burned. Other than that food was good . read more

A short drive from either Port Angeles or Sequim, but next time you find yourself in one of those towns and you don't know where to eat, this is Da Kindz of grub you can't go wrong with We had a bit of everything, but the Chicken Katsu and Mac-salad stood out. The staff was friendly and the little business park where this is located is easily accessible off the highway, clean, and quiet. Either eat in your car or the enclosed outdoor seating area. Note: the address pulled up a location off the westbound side of the highway, where it's in fact off of the lanes headed eastbound. Flip a u at the intersection and you can't miss it. read more

Great customer service, cool outdoor covered seating, but that's nothing compared to how crazy good the food is! Second time ordering the katsu chicken fries... so good i find myself looking for homes for sale near it so i can be closer lololol it will have you thinking about it for weeks until you get it again. This might be a weekly thing now for me. read more

I was looking for a lunch spot and saw the reviews and photos and thought we'd give it a try. We ordered the coconut shrimp, garlic shrimp and the chicken katsu. We ended up eating family style because all of the lunches were incredibly tasty. I would highly recommend giving them a try. There is also a gazebo to dine on site if it's raining. read more

Good food for location. Just lacked some flavor. Had to ask for sauce for the katsu. Otherwise the combo deal is pretty good! read more

about as good as food gets without being inaccessibly priced. i did still pay $28 for the mix platter, but it was enough food to be two meals if i didn't overindulge myself. you can get a single-item entree and still be fat and very happy. read more

Da Kindz Island Grill - Da Mix with poke, chicken and short rib - Hawaiian Near Me - Sequim, Washington

See all

It was a bit tough to find this food truck.... (It's located on the south side of 101, opposite the huge lot with RV for sale) We ordered four dishes and we were pleasantly surprised at how huge the portions are! We tried to order three other things that they were "out". Hopefully we can try those item the future. Really enjoyed the poke! Tuna pieces were large and well seasoned! Spicy shrimp was really the garlic shrimp with added spicy sauce. Garlic taste was pretty strong for being a spicy shrimp dish. Short ribs were a bit salty but the macaroni salad was a bit bland, so when you eat both together, it works! LOL Service was quick and the owner is very nice. We will be back to try some other dishes! read more

Stopped by Da Kindz on our way to Port Angeles. I was born and raised in Hawaii and wanted to give this place a shot. I ordered their spicy poke bowl and my husband ordered their three combo plate (poke, char siu, and bbq chicken). Their poke bowl was pricey at $20, but their portions are huge so it was well worth it! The amount of poke they give you is enough for two people and thats saying a lot, because I can eat a good amount of poke! The poke was good and the size of the ahi cubes were comparable to what I can get at home in Hawaii. I will say that they rice was a bit too wet though. I also liked my husband's bbq chicken, but wished that the char siu was cut into slices. Is it 100% like what I get back home? No, but almost nothing in WA compares to what I get back home. However, id come back for their poke if im back in the area! read more

Location: Great location, right off 101. A little pavilion with seating and protected from the weather allows for a cozy eating spot. Food: EXCELLENT! We had a big group and tried the (Samplah) and it was amazing. The poke was wonderful, so it was my favorite, but everything was fresh and perfect. Service: We had a big order and they did a wonderful job getting us our food fresh and quick, but also continued to rotate through their other customers. Great service! read more

Great little stop on the way to the mountains. Family owned and operated. Portions are good sized, prices fair and the food was good. A couple of things: they were out of poi when I went, which I was so, so sad about (its very difficult to find). Pork did not seem roasted, maybe steam cooked, but very tender. It was good and plenty. The mac salad was great-- not sweet or overly salty. The white rice comes with soy sauce, which to me, made it a bit salty, but still very good and the rice was "respected". The regular was more than enough for a heavy eater like myself, so next time, I would probably order a mini. I definitely recommend ordering the sauces. I did not, and I did regret it, so next time I will. Overall, I do recommend this place. It was a hearty meal that filled my belly. Thank you! read more

I had Da Kindz at a catered wedding recently. 10/10. Would definitely hit this spot again solo while traveling in Sequim. I got spoiled by living next to Ohana Kitchen in Burien. Can you please start bottling that orange sauce??? Great food in a beautiful location! read more

Oh My Yum!!! So glad we found this place on Yelp, while passing through Sequim. We'll definitely be back! I had the Kalua Pork, which was DELICIOUS! It came with white rice and Macaroni Salad, which usually isn't my favorite, but was good. But the pork??? Super Yummy! And a nice covered picnic table area, with clean public restrooms beside it. Was going to stop and grab a coffee from the Country Coffee and Grub, as they had great reviews and it smelled great, but we were so full from the huge portions at Da Kindz. read more

Makes me miss Hawaii! Good Food, nice portions and will be back! Service is friendly and great covered picnic area. read more

It was my first time at Da Kindz Island Grill food truck in Carlsborg today, and I couldn't decide between BBQ Chicken, BBQ Short Ribs, and Char Siu Pork. Thankfully Da BBQ Mix Plate has all three. It also came with kimchi, and all of the plates come with Furikake rice and mac salad. Honestly, the mac salad and chicken were very good, but nothing I would drive back to Carlsborg for. I can't tell you how good the kimchi is because I tried it and it tasted just as vile as kimchi always tastes to me. The pork and the ribs however... absolutely amazing! Especially the pork. It was so tender and flavorful. I'm already fantasizing about my return trip. I ate in the shelter. It's quite a comfortable setup. It's clean and spacious with plenty of circulation but with a windbreak. There are restrooms nearby. read more

We had the poke and the Hawaiian mix plate. They have lilikoi Hawaiian Sun which reminds us our trips to the HI islands. Everything tasted great! The portions are huge. We had leftovers for dinner as well. We will definitely be returning! read more

Great Kalua pork. Poke was also good. Serving size is generous. Food truck, with a nice place to sit and eat.

So good, so friendly, so authentic! Just a good place to grab a meal to eat outdoors or take home. Reasonable prices, too!

AMAZING! We stopped here at 2:30 on a chilly Saturday and we (literally) got their last order of barbecue short ribs and coconut shrimp! Incredibly good and think about it, people-these were the least popular items on their menu and they were so good! Fellow running the truck brought our food to us in the heated gazebo, wished us aloha, and closed up! Look for a purple food truck tucked next to the Ace Hardware and Big Five on Hwy 101! Can't wait to try it again! read more

Being a local girl born and raised from Hawai'i this place is ONO and definitely gives you a KANAK ATTACK!!! Portions were very generous and food was delicious. If we're ever back in the area we will be back. Mahalo! read more

Soooo yummy!! We got loco moco, coconut shrimp and a kids kaluha pork. They give you so much food and everything was very flavorful. It is definitely worth a stop. Staff were super friendly, great experience. read more

I'd only had Hawaiian food once before, having been turned on to it by friend in Seattle. I can say I was immediately hooked. When Yelp sent me a notification that there were some Hawaiian hot spots in the area, I decided to take a couple friends and check one out. They had never had Hawaiian food, and I was more than happy to show them what it was like. One was worried about Spam being in everything (which I assured her it was not) and one was overjoyed at the prospect (which I disappoint him that it was not). The establishment is tucked in a parking lot, and if one isn't looking for it, it's pretty easy to miss. However, once you know where it's at, you won't ever forget. The parking lot is cozy qnd a little haphazard, so I would suggest if you're eating in the outside dining area (with ambient heaters) park further away so those who are taking their orders home or are elderly can park closer. The menu is pretty standard, with Kahlua and BBQ Pork, Loco Moco, Garlic Shrimp, Poi and the like in portion sizes small and large. My friends and I ordered in large, which we all ended up taking home for dinner later, as the food was both delicious and filling. From the time we placed our order until we received it, it took less than 15 minutes, and it was hot, flavorful, juicy. read more

Nice people, good sized portions, reasonably fast service, beef short ribs were sliced thin instead of big chunks - much faster to prepare. Only issue, short ribs WAY to salty - you can add salt but tough to get out! read more

I'm not super familiar with Hawaiian food but a coworker and I stopped by today after a client meeting on a whim. I ordered a "small" loaded kahlua pork fry. It was LOADED with meat. It was so much food I could only eat half. I was fully satisfied. The pork was so flavorful, the sauces added on top was super good. Well worth the money. Such a great little joint! I hope they stay for a very long time! read more

Love the tuna poke which is what I usually order. Just tried a mixed plate the other day and it was all so good too! One mixed plate included so much food I was able to share it with my husband for lunch and we both felt full afterward. The outdoor seating is really nice and clean! The restrooms are nice too. read more

Working in Sequim today and was hungry and to my surprise there was Hawaiian Food. My only disappointment was that they were sold out of Hawaiian Beef Stew. I decided to get the Chicken Katsu and a BBQ Chicken Musubi, Onolicious is the only word I have right now. The BBQ Chicken was perfectly cooked, the teriyaki sauce was on point! Katsu is fantastic. I wish they had Manapua Truck Fried Noodles and my day would have complete! read more

BBQ plate was ONO (Delicious)!! LocoMoco tastes like Kauai to me!! Large plate size was so generous - easily enough to share with two or even three!! Great service - aloha spirit! Mahalo read more

We found this food to be a very good and at a reasonable price. I especially enjoyed the rice, we enjoyed barbecued chicken. Just a heads up... Before you order, go into the gazebo and turn on all the heaters. The food sort of congeals in the cold weather. read more

Authentic Hawaiian food truck with great staff, nice picnic gazebo. The coconut shrimp was crunchy and flavorful; definitely ask for Hawaiian dipping sauces. The Mac salad was bland but that's how it is in Hawaii so let's say authentic; rice was fresh & plentiful. Overall, Great value, friendly locals, and I'd go back and try other traditional dishes too. read more

I try to limit myself to one poke bowl a week from Da kindz but it's really hard! They are very quick to make your order and it's seriously delicious! Their menu is full of amazing food, but this is my favorite. Sometimes I get some musubi too and it's wonderful. read more
