SERVICE: Owner always does me right! He posts his schedule on instagram weekly, so I always know when to go. It's also great that he puts his phone number in the bio so that you can text/call to place an order ahead of time. He is always super friendly and whips up a banging meal in less than 10 minutes! AMBIANCE: It's a single food truck so don't expect outdoor seating or nothing.

Soooo I have been in search of some legit Hawaii food for about 6 months now. I stopped by…read moreyesterday, he was closed. But today, I had the time to swing by and fortunately he was open, but SOLD OUT. Fortunately, he had a few things left over. So I said yes to a mix plate. 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

Wow FLAVOR!!! Had…read morethe garlic shrimp and just ended up eating the whole thing shells and all. It's soooo garlicky and tender. Even better is their iteration of Mac salad - curry, potatoes and pickles??? My heart cannot take it. Also tried their creamy salmon poke / fresh flavorful and arrived on a bed of rice. So in love and will be back !

Just an OK meal. I was staying in a motel, and I like Hawaiian food, so I decided to do a…read moreDoorDash. The food comes, and of course, there was no silverware or napkins. You would see that it's going to a motel, you would think to add the silverware. Fortunately, I was able to get silverware from my motel's breakfast room. The lumpia were very good. They were not greasy at all. They are smaller than standard eggrolls, but because they use more meat and less veggies than your standard eggroll, they pack a lot more flavor. Everything inside was seasoned well, and I really enjoyed them. They came with a vinegar based dipping sauce that I liked The "garlic Ponzu" salmon poke? No, not nearly as good. For the price they were charging, it was not a very big portion. Besides that, it just wasn't that good. A good salmon is normally pink to orange. This salmon was barely pink. I couldn't taste the garlic or the Ponzu at all. The veggies were crisp, the rice was a good quality, but there was just no seasoning. The salmon was very bland. I didn't know if it was just because of the seasoning, maybe they used a low quality or a previously, frozen salmon. I love good salmon. This was not good salmon. For the price I paid, not counting the DoorDash fees because those are added in anyway, I just felt I didn't get my moneys worth. Next time I'm in the area, I will find another place. Thanks anyway.

Our meals have been tasty, and the portion size options provide for every level of need. We have appreciated the staff's willingness to help introduce us to new menu items, with a special shout-out for the Kalua Pork, Teriaki Chicken, Pear Paradise, and the special Coconut Cake that was available during one of our visits. This is one of our favorite spots on a sunny day for great food and time on their outdoor patio. Thanks again to the Noho's Team!

I definitely have to update my review. My first couple…read moretimes here they overcooked the meat and it was a little too much char. After giving them another chance a couple years later and returning, I must say this was a great experience. The chicken was done right, I really liked the macaroni salad, and the chicken egg rolls were something I'm definitely returning for. The outdoor patio was also a pleasant surprise. I'll be returning for sure and they definitely have raised the bar a notch. Good job ladies and gents.

Planned out a long layover and I'm glad I did, this was one of the best tiki bars I have ever been to. Not only were the cocktails top tier, but the food was wildly delicious, shocking... I can not wait to make some time to drive up and visit again with my wife.

Hale Pele is hands down my favorite tiki bar in Portland…read more Sure, the space is small and intimate - so there can be a long wait on a weekend night, but it's absolutely worth the experience! As a heads up tho, I wouldn't come here if I had a party more than 4 if you want to seated quickly, less in your party is better! The moment you step inside, it feels like you've been transported somewhere tropical! If it is daytime outside, you wouldn't be able to tell inside of Hale Pele. Between the thunderstorm effects, flickering lights, bamboo accents, and cocktails literally arriving on fire, the whole experience feels immersive! I've been coming here for the last 10 years and it's the spot to recommend for birthdays! The drinks are fire (literally), the food is so good. I recommend the sliders and the Hawaiin bread that comes with the fruit jelly!!! if you feel like escaping Portland for a few hours and spending the evening in Hawaii or the Caribbean, you gotta come here!

Hawaiian food. Well this is a burger that at least have a very Hawaii inspired element: spam!…read more Straight out of the can lol the burger is made with their House ground beef, teriyaki glazed onions, spam, pineapple, lettuce, cheese and gochujang mayo on a potato bun. Well it's like to patties in one burger a decent beef one and the spam. The spam gives a nice salty background but is surprisingly not in the foreground of the taste. The teriyaki sauce is not to much and rounds up the overall taste. The pineapple is kind of the star with being in sweetness and the needed texture. It's not crunchy but different. Overall a well made tasty burger. Ps if the restaurant gives you a wet towel from the beginning you know what's coming and this was juicy messy burger!

The BBQ chicken was flavorful and well cooked. The Kalua pork was tender and really good. The musubi had a lot more flavor than I've had at other places. Now the Kogi fries were amazing and puts this spot in the front lines with others. The bulgogi was super tender, the sauce had a mild spiciness to it, the kimchi tasted fresh and the waffle fries were prefect! The macaroni salad and rice were both pretty standard.

Price is a little high but when it came out I felt ok with it. I like the Mac salad. Not too cute, just good simple Mac salad. The garlic chicken had a really good texture. Crispy and juicy. The only thing I would change is the sauce was kind of wimpy. It was a little sweet and a little garlicky but I wanted a lot more of both. The spicy pork was not my favorite. Spicy pork bulgogi is one of my favorites. The problem I had was it was too dry. So it made the spice a little too forward in the wrong way. I could be talked into coming back.

The restaurant was pretty busy at 2pm on a Saturday, but service was very quick. One thing to note here is that the musician that was at their other location was not there - that was a nice touch, albeit the live music was kind of loud - hopefully they still bring the performer in during different times throughout the week/day. I highly recommend this location and 808 overall as a restaurant.

You do need to park in the street. At first I did not know where to park because it's on a relatively busy street. The inside has a few tables to sit at to eat. I ordered the regular beef which came with rice and mac salad. The beef was cooked perfectly and as some reviews mentioned it is a little soupy with the teriyaki sauce but I really liked the sauce. It is on the sweeter side. The mac salad was yummy too. They also had three different pies for dessert and I had to go with the banana cream pie which had a macadamia nut crust. What I really liked was the custard was not super sweet. So GOOD.
