I had seen something on TV the other day and so plate lunches were a constant thought. It was just coincidence that I happened to be in this part of town on my lunch break. Walking out of the bank across the street to see the sign Hawaiian Grill in all its black and yellow glory was like seeing an oasis after being stranded in the desert for a few days. Or so I imagine. No idea how long this cart has been open. Probably not long as there aren't any Yelp reviews about it. There were a few other people waiting for food here, so someone else aside from me knows about it. I went simple. The thing about plate lunches I saw on TV talked about Shoyu Chicken. That is what was on my mind and that is what I ordered. $6.50 gets you the regular portion and that comes with 2 portions of white rice and a nice helping of mac salad. Also a chopped up bed of cabbage under your chicken. Shoyu for those that don't know is basically a soy sauce chicken. Very simple, but when done right can be really good. This place does it oh so right. I took my meal back to work and jumped in. The mac salad was very fresh tasting. Can't say I'm a huge mac salad fan, but this was good. The rice was rice. White. Boring. Boring white rice, but that is what you get in a plate lunch. The chicken was the star here. They don't give you a huge portion. That was kind of a bummer, but the dish is only $6.50 so I'm not complaining. The meat was fall off the bone tender. I could barely pick up the piece without it falling apart in my hands. Perfectly marinated. Not too salty which can definitely be a problem with this dish. Moist and very flavorful. This is how chicken should be prepared. I hope this review gets more Yelpers to seek and try this place out.

After seeing that Chez Dodo was closed and seeing that there was a decent number of people waiting…read morein line at Hawaiian Grill, we decided to give it a shot. I got the kalua pork, which comes with two scoops of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. The pork was piping hot, but verging on dry with not much flavor. I had to add quite a bit of teriyaki sauce to the pork and the rice. That being said, I'm not an expert on Hawaiian food by any means, so I'm not sure how kalua pork is supposed to taste. All I know is that I usually prefer more flavor and tenderness. This place does have its positive points, though. The macaroni salad was really tasty, the portions are quite large and satisfying, and service is great. When there are so many food carts in Portland to choose from, though, I doubt I will be making a return visit.

PARKING: There's a…read moresmall lot with parking. It's a little tight, but there are quite a few spaces considering it's tucked away behind a couple buildings so watch for it! AMBIANCE: The area where the cart is located is open and has a lot of seating including a bar area where you can get drinks like wine, beer, ciders. There are a few other carts here as well with some covered bench/table seating. People were super nice to let us sit and share their tables. SERVICE: The woman taking our orders was super friendly! Made it very easy to order, asked if we have any questions. The food did take like 10 minutes to come out but it was freshly grilled so it's totally worth the small wait. They gave us a little buzzer to let us know where our order was ready. FOOD: Fiesta Plate: Pork Belly, Ribs, Chicken: The grill on the chicken was fantastic. Perfect char and whatever sauce is on this chicken needs to be bottled up and sold. Sweet and grilled flavours were perfect. Pork belly was cooked well and I love the fatty portions so much. The rib was cooked well, went really well with their special sauce as well! The rice was so good too! Don't sleep on this starch because it was flavourful too! The dish came with a salad as well with their house made dressing which was creamy, had good sesame flavour, and the salad was NOT over dressed. The portions are pretty large too because my husband and I split one dish and tlwere thoroughly satisfied and full. OVERALL: This meal brought me back to family parties and gathering where you'd grill some good meat and hang out until early morning before going home. Brought me back to Hawaii honestly. I've never had Chamorro-style barbecue and I'm looking forward to having it again!

The food looked great in the video, plus the owner seemed genuine and passionate. I'm in. I wasn't disappointed. My favorite thing was the chicken. Some of the better damn grilled chicken thighs I've had in my life. Nice texture and tenderness. Not quite juicy, but juicy is tough to get on the grill. The char and flavor was great though. Ultimately it was just very satisfying. A plate of that chicken with the rice, salad and perhaps a combo of a second meat hits the spot when you're hungry. The pork belly I wasn't quite as impressed with. I've had better. It was a little meaty; I could have used a fair amount more of that melt-y fat. I didn't get much if any "hard fat" though, which is good; I hate the texture of that. The rice was solid. Good texture. Not much flavor or seasoning on the rice itself, but it serves it's purpose as a compliment to the other flavors. The salad was fine. Pretty standard. I liked that creamy dressing and wish there was more. I thought it was a really nice compliment to an otherwise very heavy meal. The freshness and the texture. To nitpick a bit, I could have used something to cut through the savoriness. Maybe some sort of acid or spice. Nbd though, this is comfort food, not a Michelin meal.
