lolani's Plate Lunch

LITERALLY TO DIE FOR. I called and the owner was so nice and even texted me when it was ready! The food was so good me and my coworkers were dying over how good it was. Trust me if it’s busy it’s worth the wait.

Been trying to catch this place open for months and finally got to try it today!! First thing, the owner is absolutely the chillest person ever and is incredibly friendly! You can tell that he loves life and what he does for a living, it just radiates off him and is infectious to the point where your day is instantly better! Just great vibes all around! The food is as good as it looks, so incredibly tasty, filling and worth every penny! I arrived a little late and was disappointed that the Pastele stew was sold out, and I said that next time I would come back to try it, but when my order was ready he handed me what I ordered and an additional togo box with Pastele stew for free!!! I think it was whatever was left and he just gave it to me Delicious food and an incredible owner, will definitely be coming back!

Moving from Hawaii to Oregon has been rough not being able to find any food like back home. You have your typical “Hawaiian” restaurants here that taste nothing like back home. THIS food truck has been my go to for Hawaiian food. The owners from Hawaii and knows exactly what hes doing. Takes me back home! SO ONO

YOU WILL WAIT FOR AWHILE IF THIS DETERS YOU CHOOSE A DAY WHERE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME (the food is worth all regulars and Hawaii locals will go here rather than anywhere else) In the photo, this line is just overspill from where people are standing behind me and most people in their cars waiting. If you want a Hawaiian/Local vibe this is gonna be it. You will have to WAIT, he is a one man operation. The portions and food is worth it though, I will not give anything lower than 5 stars for any of it due to the fact he is running a solo operation. Very very local style and feels just like Hawaii mom & pop shops. You need to follow his instagram page to stay up to date with what’s on the menu, whether or not he will be operating to be honest. If anything that was said in this review deters you, then don’t go. Parking is easy there’s street parking, there’s a covered area to wait in front of the Mexican truck (yes he will have a literal massive line/queue either sitting in their cars waiting or in line or by the taco truck EVEN in pouring down rain) All the food is good and it’s one of the ONLY places that you can go with actually good Lu’au (Lau Lau) which is pork/fish wrapped in taro leaves and then cooked/steamed in Ti leaves for hours. Everything is cooked to order from what I can tell so your plates are coming out HOT! Prices are competitive and actually on the lower side compared to some “Hawaiian restaurants” but coming from Hawai’i island, I literally have stopped going ANYWHERE else, the only place I consider going for Hawaiian food if it’s not Iolani’s is Grind wit tryz

Nolan the owner always jamming the hawaiian music serving up his ono food . We always get the combo plates Mochiko chicken with Lau lau and Guava chicken with Lau lau, Mahalo braddah!

EAT HERE. Flavors were amazing with the guava chicken!!! Came with rice, Mac salad and this homemade bbq type sauce on the side. Mac salad wasn’t mayonasey and heavy like most Mac sad and paired so well with all the other flavors. Will DEFINITELY be back to try other stuff on the menu. This was a random stop based off yelp reviews - you won’t be disappointed! Located off 82nd, smaller parking lot.

Great portions even better food. If you're on the east side and don't come here to eat youre missing out So it’s been over a year since my review. Portion sizes are still large, food quality and flavor is amazing. Nolan (the owner) is always friendly with great service. My go to spot for Hawaiian food. The mochiko chicken is my go to and is always beautifully golden fried and pairs perfect with the Mac salad and rice. New tables in the food cart area make it handy to sit down and eat at

This place has been on my list of food spots for a while and I’m SO glad I went today! It’s so hard to find good Hawaiian food in the area and this place is the best and reminds me of the island. The best Mac/potato salad, huge portions, and the owner is the best—I mentioned wanting to try the mochiko chicken next time and he tossed in a few pieces in my plate, it was the best surprise. Can’t wait to go back!
