Finally getting around to reviewing this spot! I visited back in May after the Bubble Run and got…read morethere around noon. There was a long line, the inside was packed, and the outdoor area was filling up too. Parking is limited, but we were able to find street parking nearby. They also had little shops outside, plus vendors inside selling homemade candies and cookies, so of course we had to grab a couple things and show some support! There was about a 25-minute wait, but the crew was super friendly and gave us great recommendations. I got the sweet chili chicken and kalbi ribs, and both were SO flavorful and cooked perfectly. Definitely coming back everything was delicious!

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.

Loved my chicken katsu. I got all rice as I don't like potato salad. Super crispy and the sauce was…read moreperfect. Good quality chicken. It was also large which was good as I shared some with my husband. My guava rum drink was small and super strong. So strong I couldn't taste the guava at all. Talked with the staff and they added some more guava and that helped and was appreciated. My husband got poke and the quality was very good but he felt he didn't order well. Basic salad and then got only one type of poke so not as interesting as he hoped. Maybe better on rice but not something he can eat. Very limited seating space. We will come back again and I think my husband will get the katsu.

My boyfriend and I decided to order some food to-go from here after reading good reviews but were…read morehighly disappointed by the unwelcoming staff and long wait time. 20 minutes after placing our order, I received a text stating the food was ready to be picked up. When I approached a waitress she seemed confused and it seemed like something had gone wrong along the way. We ended up having to wait another 20 minutes -- a total of 40 minutes for what was supposed to be a quick stop. The food was yummy, but it was not worth a 40 minute wait and it ended up giving us both food poisoning. I would like to give this place a second chance but I'm afraid of being disappointed again after this first experience.

The ambiance is very tropical and fun, and love that they have such a spacious bathroom! They have an extensive drinks menu, like several pages long! With so many guava, pineapple and coconut-based options, it was honestly confusing on what to get but we decided on the classics: the Lei Lani Volcano and Lava Flow. The drinks were so creamy and delicious yet dangerously strong! Also, can we talk about the portion sizes? My drink was literally the size of my face, like what?!! It is best to come here in large groups because their shared drinks/scorpion bowls are a total showstopper! It is in a very upscale neighborhood of Portland called Grant Park, so it was fun to walk around and see all the cool houses - there was one imitating a thatched roof and what not. Worth checking out the neighborhood before or after visiting Hale Pele.

Pictured is the garlic chicken, the Teri chicken and Huli huli chicken - a more savory and spicy alternative to the Teri. Not pictured was the Kalua Pig which also got raving reviews from the crew. Everything, even the Kalua, was made to order. We got combo plates to start and we couldn't believe the portions, it could have easily lasted 2 to 3 meals (for a normal person, naturally we crushed it). Everything was fresh and delicious, and I have no idea what they put in their spicy aioli - but it is outstanding. Once I had a taste it was going on everything, especially the teriyaki chicken.

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.

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.

After eating there twice, I'm a believer. This place can definitely make some great Hawaiian meals. Their Kobe ribs were so good we ordered two large trays for our barbecue. Man were they a hit. That's not the only thing they do well, the chicken and pork are seasoned and very well prepared. The staff is some of the coolest, laid back people you will ever find. They are super nice and very helpful. They move quick and swift to keep everything on point. The ambiance is Hawaiian chilled. If you're not relaxed when you are there, then something wrong with you.LOL...Now thats funny! This will be one of my regular spots.

I make this all the time at home and I thought it was okay but I feel mine is better. Personal preference. I ordered the Hawaiian pork with rice and a side salad. I am dairy free and gluten free. I was informed all sauces can meet my needs. The pork lacked some flavor but I added some sauces to it. Overall the meal was decent and moist. My boyfriend raved about his Korean chicken dish. I love they are able to accommodate dairy and gluten free. You can pick the sizes of your meal from small, medium and large. They have cocktails, cider and beer available. I got a pineapple margarita but could tell it was a mix. Overall I would like to try some other dishes here to get a better overall taste experience.
