    Garlic chicken, teriyaki beef, spam, Mac salad and rice- with a side of crispy chicken. We dug into the food before taking a photo!

    This place never disappoints! This time tried the garlic chicken and it was super yummy. Absolutely loved it!! The outside was crisp and the meat was juicy - loved it!! Vibes are always good and positive!

    My sister and I stumbled upon this cart and tried their Lau Lau nachos and it was delicious! Just looking at their menu, everything looked good and great prices! Will be back to try other things. Nice park area to sit and enjoy the sun. Friendly staff and quick!

    I've been to this place a few times and the food is consistently good. Highly recommend the fried noodle and the garlic chicken, but I also love their laulau and kalua plate. They have an updated menu that includes some fun things like the lausubi, haven't tried it yet but one of these days! The family that runs the truck are SO NICE, service is always top shelf, it's like a little taste of aloha every time I stop by!

    Beautiful little food cart area in downtown Tualatin next to Stevens Marine.

    If you're in downtown Tualatin and craving authentic Hawaiian flavors, do yourself a favor and visit Paradise Grindz. This family owned food cart is something special. Seeing the whole family working together was honestly heartwarming. You can feel the pride and love they put into their food, and they were incredibly patient answering all my questions about the menu. First off, the prices are so affordable and reasonable, especially for the quality and portion sizes you get. And I don't say this lightly, I've eaten at Hawaiian restaurants and food carts all over California, throughout Portland, Las Vegas, and even in Oahu and Maui. In my experience, this is by far the best I've had. I ordered the Paradise Bowl, which comes with ahi tuna poke and kalua pork over rice, topped with their majah sauce, their version of spicy mayo mixed with sriracha, plus unagi sauce and tobiko or masago. The poke was incredibly fresh and high quality. The kalua pork was cooked perfectly. It was slightly salty for my personal preference, but after a gym session it honestly hit the spot in the best way. I also got a side of lau lau, tender, buttery pork wrapped in edible taro leaves, seasoned and steamed to perfection, wrapped in foil to lock in all that heat and flavor. It was so rich and satisfying that I had to save half just so I could enjoy it again later that evening. The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and the overall experience left me excited to come back and try more of their menu, especially the weekend specials. Highly recommend supporting this amazing local family business. You won't regret it.

    This place is unreal- just a hidden gem. We go almost every Sunday when the Tigard market is open! Their poke is unmatched. Food service is pretty quick and the staff is so friendly. One of our favorites!

    Oh my gosh, the food here is quite amazing. The chicken was seasoned fantastically. The best part was the price point and the abundance amount of food in each offer. My husband and I ordered the fried chicken, garlic chicken and the firecracker chicken. All of which were very tasty. As a first time comer, we would highly suggest the garlic chicken. It was very good. The owner greeted us, asked if we had any questions then proceeded to take our order. It was very quick. There are a lot of outdoor seats with umbrellas for bright and sunny days. There is a park nearby as well to enjoy the outdoor activities and atmosphere.

    My friend wanted to come here after seeing the lausubi all over social media. I'm not a huge laulau fan, but there are many options to choose from. I went with the volcano nachos. It was huge, the lid couldn't even close. It came with lomi salmon, kalua pig, poke, & the chips were wonton chips, topped with their sauce. The chips were nice & crisp & everything paired well together. I ate all the chips, so those would be soggy later & took the remaining home, so I could eat it over rice later. So delicious & hit the spot. We don't have many options when it comes to food like this on the other side of the bridge, so this was great. They're located in a cute park that has tables to eat & bathrooms. Will definitely be back.

    Come support a local family owned business. Paradise Grindz serves up authentic Hawaiian food. The food cart is located in the Universal Plaza in Tigard. They have a regular menu and specials, too. The owners are super nice, their daughter that helps out and takes orders is adorable. There's quite a few choices for Hawaiian food in the area. This one shouldn't be missed. Service is always pleasant. They serve it fresh, which means there's a wait. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesday. Make sure to check them out.

    Shaved ice

    Great option for a calm day at the park. This is one of the food trucks in downtown Tigard that has a very nice seating area and restrooms nearby, making the area complete. I had a shaved ice for dessert under the spring sun and I felt very good with it.

    I tried their pork Laulau today and it's too salty. I think if the amount of salt can be dialed down a bit, this would be more delicious. The liquid smoke flavor has to come through if being used in the ingredients. Everything else is perfect except too salty! One method I use to test if it's too salty is to put a sample at the top of my tongue and extract the juice out of the meat. If there is a slight burning flavor then it's too salty.

    My sister was craving poke nachos, so we ordered that along with a side of mac salad. The poke nachos were pretty good, but I wish the wonton chips had been made fresh since some tasted a bit stale. The mac salad was just okay, I've definitely had better.

    Kahlua nachos with a side of mac salad
    Jen N.

    If we lived closer, I could see us coming here a lot! Honestly pretty good prices for a massive kahlua nacho tower that made me widen my eyes when we got it. The workers are definitely nice and smiled at our reactions, which I'm sure they get a lot. The pork was super tender and not super salty, like a lot of Hawaiian joints can be sometimes. The guy in front of us took the last of the poke (we got there around 12:30p) which sounded good to try too. It's a nice little food truck spot with kids playing and people with their dogs!

    When you want to support a family business and know that the food is authentic, this Hawaiian food cart is one of our family's favorite spots. We love the fried combo plate that comes with fried chicken, noodles, rice, and Mac salad. And if you love poke nachos with super crispy wonton chips, this is where it's at. Love their hospitality and aloha vibe, reminds me of the islands. Their speciality is their Lau Lau, which is why I decided to check them out in the first place! Can't find a good spot for Lau Lau here on the Westside of Portland. Mahalo to this family, bringing good food and the spirit of Aloha to our community!

    Top is the fried chicken/fried noodle plate. Bottom is today's special. Both were so delicious!

    Hina's has been on my radar for a while and we finally made it. The truck shares the space with a…read morecouple other food trucks and few tables. The truck itself looked great with no observed issues. The woman who helped us was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Korean chicken with sweet sauce and Kalua Pig combo plate. We were home quickly and eating. The portion was HUGE! Seriously could have 3 people with what we received. The chicken had a decent crisp on it (especially considering it was transported home), was juicy and the sauce was great. The kalua pork was excellent and just what I was hoping for. The rice and Mac salad were good. We'll definitely be back

    Got the $30, 3 meat combo with Korean, Hurrikane, and Garlic Fried chicken. There was a massive…read moreamount of food for the price. Beyond that, the rest was a disappointment. The chicken itself seemed like it could have been prepared better before frying. The skin left on the pieces still had plenty of "extras" left on (like where the feathers were) and each of the pieces was really big rather than something closer to a bite-sized chunk of meat. It just felt like laziness in prep. The sauces were decently tasty. Overall, the amount of fried skin, the size of the pieces, and the left over feather bits, just felt gross and unappetizing so we threw most of it out. The woman working the truck was curt and pushy. It was mid afternoon but I guess they were closing (which wasn't clear) so we were told that we were the last order because they had already turned off their sign (or something to that effect). When asking about sauces, drinks, it was a very "yes or no, now" type interaction. Would have loved to see better prep of the chicken before frying, smaller pieces, and a more considerate staff to their customers.
