“ Fantastic food. used to be out at Intel and their food was so good. they had a wasabi mayo that was fantastic. ”

“ 808 Grinds delivers the most authentic Hawaiian flavors you'll find off the islands. Every dish is perfectly executed, from kalua pork, to loco moco. (Grab a spam musubi too!) Portions are generous, the mac salad is spot-on, and the staff is warm and welcoming. If you're searching for true island comfort food, this is the spot! ”

“ Amazing service by Sol. Not just for me but everyone in there. Food came quickly. Great/tight kitchen vibe. Kimchi ramen ($15) looks spicy bc it's red but is incredibly well-balanced. Loved the bean sprout me that garnished the rich broth and ramen noodles. I would have even liked more. Of course I ordered the Mac salad ($3) Clean tables to eat on; nice large community bar in the middle to offer a shared eating area. Cold water and utensils are on counter: self-serve. ”

“ Service: 7/10 good & fast Ambiance: 6/10 nothing to write home about Food: 7/10 portions are awesome. Coleslaw: 2/10 not good. Lettuce instead of cabbage. Not a ton of flavor Curry: 5/10 good but not great Poke: 7/10 very good! Awesome sauces 808 fried chickens 7/10 very good. Crispy and flavorful Shoyu Chicken: 8/10 the portions are absolutely massive. Incredibly moist flavor Mac salad: 6/10 good but when u add teriyaki to it 8/10 Rice: 7/10 perfectly cooked. ”

“ Very solid food! Big fan of hawaiian food so I like trying new spots, hawaiian food is definitely a bigger thing in Portland. I really enjoyed the plates my boyfriend and I tried and the portions were a good size. Prices were fair! Service was friendly. Seating here is definitely hit or miss though, there was hardly any seating when we arrived, they have plenty of seating outside but not enough tables inside IMO. We just ate in the car since it was pouring down rain, but otherwise the food was great. As far as sauces go, I actually wasn't a big fan of the teriyaki sauce but the 808 soy sauce was good and my boyfriend enjoyed the jalapeño teriyaki sauce. ”

“ Had lunch here today and was pleasantly surprised at not only how much food they gave but how authentic it tasted. As a local girl who was born and raised in Hawaii, I love finding places that serve local Hawaiian plate lunches and this place nails it! I had the Chinese chicken salad and both my son and husband had mixed plates. Absolutely no complaints! Both food and service were top notch! And they had Hawaiian Sun drinks too! ”

“ Dined inside 808 Grinds yesterday afternoon. Service was good. Nice area inside to eat. LOVED the poke combination. Delicious! Highly recommend. The Trifecta combo (kalua pork, 808 chicken, and shoyu chicken) was tasty but saltier than I'm accustomed to. The chocolate haupia was not as delicious as I'd expected it to be. It tasted okay. I originally wanted the guava chiffon cake that was listed online, but it wasn't available. The butter mochi dessert tasted great! The next time I go to 808 Grinds, I will try the Da Kine noodles, Kalbi, and the Lilikoi cheesecake. I wanted to try the saimin, except that I'm allergic to shrimp, which is the soup base. Since everyone has their own unique taste buds, even though the kalua pork was salty for my own specific taste, others might enjoy it. I did like the smoky flavor. The 808 chicken was delicious. Especially paired with the dipping sauces, sweet wasabi spicy mayo, and 808 soy-ginger sauces. The shoyu chicken was flavorful. It was shredded, made of boneless, skinless chicken. I would've given 808 Grinds 5 out of 5 stars if the kalua pork and chocolate haupia dessert were as good as the rest of the meal. I enjoyed eating the leftovers the next day. Our order was big enough for lunch, for two days, for my husband and I. ”

“ Indulging my sister for her Hawaiian food cravings. So ono. We ordered a variety to share. Let's see, we had the kalbi beef, chicken, trifecta poke, kalua pork, loco moco, eggplant, cauliflower, haupia (all flavors), chicken katsus...... Service was awesome! They kicked out the orders pretty fast and efficiently. Friendly service. Ambiance was nice. We got the big table as we had a big group. Our group walked out so fully satisfied and with some great 808 merchandise. ”

“ We ordered the 808 combo, trifecta combo and spam musubi. The meat was all really good and the portion was huge! We couldn't even finish all our portions and the price was very reasonable. $15 for the 808 combo and $17 for the trifecta combo. ”

“ We stopped by for dinner on a Saturday night about an hour before closing. The location is located in a slightly more rundown place, it seems pretty empty in this strip mall area. My friend ordered the Kalbi Pork Belly ($15) and I ordered the Zack's Spicy Chicken ($14). The Pork Belly was delicious! The pork belly was so buttery but not greasy. Due to the layer of fat in the pork belly, it was definitely more filling though. I felt like the pork belly could have been charred a bit more for the smokey flavor, but my friend seemed to really enjoy it. It came with the Mac salad, rice and your choice of sauce. For homemade sauce choices there were teriyaki, habanero teriyaki, spicy mayo, sweet wasabi, and the 808 soy-ginger garlic. If you like their sauces, they also have options to purchase to take home! As for the Zack's Spicy Chicken, I loved it! The chicken was marinated with the spicy mayo, topped with some green onions, cucumbers, and crisp onion slices (not super raw tho). The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the rice really helped cut the spice. It came with the homemade Mac salad and rice. The homemade Mac salad was pretty good. I am usually not the biggest fan of Mac salad because of the excessive mayo but this one didn't have a ton in it. It was pretty enjoyable and the ingredients were fresh. The menu said it comes with kimchi slaw but I think I missed it because it was late. :/ But with or without it, the dish was super yummy! Honestly, stop by and give it a try. Don't judge a book by its cover or you will miss out on their yummy food! There were about 4 tables indoors, but they also have picnic style tables outside as well. ”
