    Laulau, meat jun
    Maya A.

    We drive down from Olympia just because we're craving GWT! As someone born and raised in Hawaii, this is one of few places that hit the spot. We'll make any excuse to come down. The food is always Ono, the portion sizes are huge, and the flavors taste just like home. The staff is always amazing - super friendly. Don't let the long lines scare you, they move pretty fast, and the vibes from the music and decor make the wait easy. Only downside is parking can be a little humbug, but food makes it worth it!

    Poke Nachos

    Fabulous poke nachos! Sooooo ono! A little taste of Hawaii in the PNW for real Service is super friendly. Been with these guys since their location in Alberta. The new spot on Cully is a lot more spacious for seating. Parking around the area is street/neighborhood but worth the couple loops to find a spot.

    Ube cloud
    Meggie T.

    Decided to try this place out again, and I think it's our new go-to spot for Hawaiian! We ordered the poke nachos and it was huge! More than enough for two people. Poke was great but the pork was a bit salty. This time we also ordered the ube cloud too, which was not too sweet, but interesting in texture.

    They play the Hawaiian bangers here as you enjoy your food! Playlist on point, staff is nice and helpful. Easy to order at the counter and utensils and napkins on the side near where you pick up the food. The inside smells like oil (don't wear your nice clothes) and floors a little slippery (raining a lot outside or maybe oily??), but overall I enjoyed the vibes. Trio combo: meat Jun, Ono chicken, salmon Katsu. The salmon Katsu was super crunchy on the outside and tender inside. This was so good! Meat Jun was a little string but not too bad. Ono chicken was very tasty and I really enjoyed the sauce on the outside. Comes with two scoops rice and one scoop Mac. The PORTIONS! In love with the portions. When the lid can't close, that's the portion I like. Spicy tuna poke: had really good flavor and enjoyed the sauce and little kick. Fish was a little stringy though. Wish they had chopsticks here too! It doesn't feel right eating plate lunch and poke with a fork for some reason, but that's just me. Overall good portions of food, tasty meats, and good vibes. I'll be back!

    Grind Wit Tryz serves some of the most authentic and delicious Hawaiian food I have had in a very long time. Everything we tried was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. The nachos and the fried musubi were absolutely amazing, and that is saying a lot because I do not like spam at all. Somehow they completely won me over. I was so impressed that my husband and I actually started trying to figure out how we could adjust our commute home from work to pass by this place more often just so we can eat here again. If you are looking for truly excellent Hawaiian food that will surprise you in the best way, this spot is a must try. We will absolutely be back.

    My boyfriend and I finally got to try Grind Wit Tryz and it did not disappoint! Everything on their menu looked so good and it was hard to decide on a combo, but we ultimately ordered the Ono Chicken and Meat Jun. The portions were HUGE and just the right amount for both of us to share. The Ono Chicken had a sticky glaze that leaned on the sweet side and reminded me of yangnyeom chicken. The meat jun was really good and paired really well with the dipping sauce. Street parking wasn't too bad and fortunately we got to the restaurant before the line got really long. I definitely want to come back to try the garlic shrimp and poke nachos next time!

    For me, the food and people are always 5 stars! I do think that parking at this location can be tricky, and my wife said the bathroom left a bit to be desired. That said, the portion sizes are generous, and everything is top notch. We were able to split the combo plate with teriyaki beef and the honey walnut shrimp (a must get for me!), and we both left very full! Overall, I like the vibe and there are lots of seating options, especially in the summer! It was a great spot to warm up after getting our Christmas tree!

    ube thai tea
    Tram D.

    the ube thai tea sounded interesting so I tried but it was too milky. not enough thai tea flavor and the ube doesn't add much of anything to the drink. the servings were huge and are def shareable! the ono chicken was deliciously fried and the sauce didn't make it soggy. it gets heavy after a few pieces so I had a lot of leftovers. the mayjah moco was huge as well. the pork was fine, not much flavor and it was loaded a ton with other meats which were all ok too. the food here is too heavy for my boyfriend and I to want to come back but i'm glad we tried this spot!

    Spicy Ahi Tuna Poke Nachos & Trio Plate with Ono Chicken, Chicken Dynamite, & Sweet Fried Chili Chicken
    Molly L.

    This family restaurant is very bustling in and outside so they may take some time to fulfill orders. The interior gives a very homey vibe, decorating with home flags, family pictures, and artworks/objects that represent their roots. Cashier is very nice and communicative. The food seems pricy but its generous portion justifies it. We get Spicy Ahi Tuna Poke Nachos & Trio Plate with Ono Chicken, Chicken Dynamite, & Sweet Fried Chili Chicken. I love that they use wonton chips for the nachos instead of tortillas; They are thinner and much crispier. The Ahi Tuna is also super fresh and yummy. However, the unagi sauce on them can get quite salty the more I eat. My partner also enjoys everything on his plate until it gets a little too sweet. It is overall still a good experience and worth a try.

    Poke Nachos

    Ordered takeout online right around opening. They are located inside of the building where the sign is. There is a small gate just to the north of the building on the corner to enter into. It was super busy inside, just 30 minutes after they opened and cars were parking and piling in while we were there. It is street parking around the area, in a bit of a rougher area. Service was prompt, quick and helpful. However, our utensils didn't get included with our to-go. We orders the Poke Nachos and the Short Rib Plate. The chips and tuna were ultra fresh and the sauces on top were fantastic. Insane size of portions. However, I wish they would have added chopped veggies for the nachos like English cucumber and avocado. The spare ribs had great flavor but a lot of fat, didn't love the freshness level of the rice nor the Mac salad.

    amazing portions and aloha it every order! been ordering from grind wit tryz since food truck days in college and being born and raised in hawaii, this is hands down the best local food in Oregon! I cannot recommend it enough just beware the servings are massive!

    Jailene C.

    Food was super steamy hot, fresh, perfect. Huge portions, $20 is affordable for the portion size. Mac salad is kinda sweet but tastes good, the ono chicken was perfectly fried! Can't wait to come back and try something else. Service was casual and fairly quick. Can dine in or take to go, cute Halloween decor setup when I went in.

    Amazing amazing poke nachos!!! They load it up. I shared with my friends and we still couldn't finish it. I also got the small plate with the salmon katsu! Perfect portion size for me with a ton of meat. They have indoor and outdoor seating and play awesome music. Very much enjoyed my meal here.

Nolan's Hawaii accent is still thick it made me feel like I was back home on the west side for a second (!!!!thank you!!!!) I met some people outside the food stand, a business man from Hawaii and some California people I mistaken were from Hawaii as well, lol. It was an awesome interaction, from the moment I got there I got greeted by strangers waiting for food, to going up to the window and asking "so what? No more nuttin left?" Nolan's response was "Nah I only get mochicko chicken and kalua, you likem?" Haha that was a definite yes! Won't miss out on home food esp if word of mouth was already out there. So I waited a few minutes for my food, and the box was heavy. Haha it felt like when you would eat at your aunty and uncles house and they pack you the party left overs. I opened my plate lunch and I was greeted by a huge portion of chicken, pork rice and Mac salad. And let me tell you, the Mac salad didn't have so much frills like what you would see in a Portland Hawaii food joint. It was sauced, and seasoned. PERFECT! No need for all the extra add ons. As I started eating, let me say that kalua pork was no joke so moist and easy to eat not even close to dried out. The chicken tasted nice and crispy with just enough marinate and fluff. I haven't found this anywhere in Oregon..until here. Yeah sure there's a poke and katsu bar in the shopping center next door... but I take the random food cart in the parking lot any day over something franchised

None of the other plate lunch/Hawaiian food places in PDX have had that to my knowledge, and I needed to have it now. My dining companion was taking in the meat jun on the menu, as well as the fried rice omelette. We went in and ordered the chicken adobo fried rice omelette and chicken long rice on the side. Double starch, double chicken, check. Loved that the menu pointed out they serve koshihikari rice. I knew I was in good hands. No medium grain rice for this gal. The service was friendly, the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. There was a nice note on the wall saying the table would be bussed by staff, so we didn't have to play the guessing game of "search for the bus bins." Clean tables, bright light from the windows, good food. The adobo gravy on the omelette was winnahs. The omelette itself was not holding a candle to Elena's Food Truck, but tasty and filling. The chicken long rice was perfect. The only improvement would have been a nice hit of white pepper, maybe. The only thing not quite to my liking was the mac salad, but that didn't stop us from mopping our plates clean. We will be back for everything else on the menu.
