Ate Oh Ate - Beaverton

Big's was gone so we decided to try the place that took its spot.Katsu sauce tasted like A1, breading on chicken was subpar & not crispy, but the meat itself was so dry. Curry was really good, I really liked the veggies in it, too.They nailed their macaroni salad, but the main part of the dish was such a disappointment that I don't think we'd eat here again.

Ambiance: very cool rustic hawaiian vibes. Service: good, nothing to write home about Food:All in all, I'd prefer Roxy's. I'll go back to try more dishes but was not impressed with the first visit.MAC SALAD: 6/10 very good.KATSU CHICKEN: 3/10 crispy and thin but not a ton of flavor with or without the sauce.MOCHIKO CHICKEN: 5/10. Mild flavor. Tender chicken. Not chewy but needed a good sauce. The sauce on the side was flavorless think of a spicy mayo with 70% less flavor.GREEN SALAD: 2/10 dressing was not flavorful mayo based. RICE: 7/10 perfectly cooked.

A friend brought me here for dinner. I really only got into Hawaiian food thanks to friends from the islands so I am not in the know for authentic.The very sweet guy at the counter was great as we were complex getting an order to go for her husband and me being completely clueless as to all the things. I was happy she clued me in on the slushies and we both tried them both. Lime and coconut were the two and they were both made with coconut milk, having that creaminess. Delicious! I was getting brain freeze though - it was pretty hot out and I just cannot do super cold when I am super hot. Delicious as they were I had to just get a Mexican coke with a big old cup of ice. My friend grabbed a slushie and added a shot to it which you can do!The food was great - I tried her Kahlua pork which was great. I got the teriyaki chicken and the chicken katsu - both were very good though the BBQ sauce served with the katsu was a lot more liquid and vinegar forward that I like so I used their teriyaki sauce. Their mac salad is a lot more sweet than previous experiences at other places and my friend said that they use a lot more pineapple. It is very creamy and I did like it. What I was not a fan of was the butter mochi cake but I am not a fan of that texture which I think is correct. I could see people liking it but I just find the sticky tacky texture to be unappealing so you might love it!

We've been meaning to come here for a while but they are always closed when we leave the farmers market. Today, we got to the market late so we're able to give this place a try. I ordered the Big Salad with grilled tofu. My husband ordered the 2 choice plate of grilled Korean chicken and mochiko chicken. These are two Hawaii staples we miss. Salad was $13.95 and two choice plate was $17.95. Not bad considering the price of food lately. Sparkling water was $3. Restaurant is fairly large with lots of seating inside and out. You could probably bring your dog if you sit outside. One thing I noticed outside and appreciated was the pikake growing on the fence. Nice touch! Reminds me of home even more! Counter girl was pleasant but didn't go out of her way to create conversation. She spent more time talking with the guy behind the counter with her but that didn't affect our service. Five TVs inside showing mostly sports and of course you can buy beer and other alcoholic beverages, plus Hawaiian Sun. Background music was pop and I notice my husband singing along so that was another plus. Now for the food - it was good! The Korean chicken had a lot of ginger which made it really tasty. Mochiko chicken tasted like my mother-in-law's so five stars! If I deducted anything it would have been for the rice that was slightly hard. Need to more water when cooking

Don't know why this place is only rated 3 stars!Got the hawaiian plate split with katsu chicken and korean spicy chicken, and while I'd rate the whole plate above average, the korean chicken was particularly delicious delicious, and had a ton of flavor. Not to mention the price to portion ratio was pretty generous!We were also pleasantly surprised when, having come in a half hour before close, the kind lady cleaning up for the night generously gave us some extra spam musubi, which was also very solid.This was a clean, chill, and cozy hawaiian spot right in the middle of beaverton, with great service and delicious food, I'll definitely be coming back!

I read some reviews before coming here, and saw sort of a mixed bag. As such, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I have to say, what I ate was quite good. So I'll start there - I ordered half Mochiko Chicken and half Grilled Teriyaki Chicken with rice and Mac salad. That food was GOOD. Moist teriyaki, crunchy mochiko. I was very happy.The less stellar side was what my friend got. The Poke Bowl was... odd. The fish was good, but the lettuce chunks were huge, and felt like an odd addition. The spam musubi was okay but somewhat dry. I would recommend this spot for the chicken dishes! I really liked what I had and would come back for that.

Nice job on the menu change, I will miss the giant fried Chicken sandwich from Bigs. We really loved the two items we ordered, the Korean style chicken with Macaroni salad and a green salad side hit the spot. The dish is spicy, not to spicy that you want to pass this dish up, it had a lot of flavor and the serving size was easily enough for two. The second dish was a curry bowl with katsu chicken, a very nice blend, very filling and a lot of flavor. The inside of the location has not changed other than a more island theme. We ordered takeout and when we arrived the food was ready for us. Make sure to ask for some side dipping sauces they compliment the food. I am not following some of the other reviews. We will stop by again to continue to try the rest of the menu, we noticed some poke bowls to spam masubi.

If you were a fan of Big's chicken then I'm sure you could probably relate to the slight heart attack I had when I saw that their location in Beaverton was suddenly changed to "Ate-Oh-Ate"... thankfully it's the same owner and their food was still good. Got their mochiko chicken plate, which is always my go-to at any Hawaiian restaurant that will offer it--it was good, good breading and good fry on it, and went well with the Mac salad. Their teriyaki chicken also had good flavor. Restaurant is casual and chill, and has the same set up and FCFS seating like Big's had. Sounds like my take on it is a little more positive than what others are saying but *shrug* I had a positive experience!

Service was horrible on 11/6/24 at 2:30-3:30PM, on Wednesday. A white girl with short hair, maybe 5'5, on the heavier side was the cashier. I ordered couple things and my wife really wanted a mochiko chicken. The Mochico chicken we got was not fried at all, it looked like it was baked or "fried" (photo attached) We asked her why it's not fried and is it supposed to look like this. The girl said "Yeah, that's how it supposed to look like", not knowing we've eaten mochico chicken. And then she changed it up saying that the cooks are new. We gave her the baked mochico chicken back and ordered something else. Let me get this straight, if you have been working there for a bit and know how a mochico chicken looks like, why did you serve us a plate that was not complete? And then say "Yeah, that's how mochico chicken looks like". It was the Election Day, she was clearly upset with the results. I even tipped the store before sitting down, wish I kept the $10. I lived in Hawaii for a bit and knows how a mochico chicken looks and tastes, she thought I was Mexican. I was really disappointed driving all the way from Olympia to visit once again. And then, of course this girl ruined a family's day.This girl also told me that they don't have to go plates, I asked her well what are those paper plates? She said "oh these? Yeah you can take one" to go plates are paper plates. She was one dummeh! Good thing there's other locations hopefully dummeh not there.

Visiting Portland, and saved a video of this place on IG! I was craving spam musubi and thought this would be the perfect place to go to! Upon entering, I enjoyed the lovely aquarium mural located on the wall, it was really cute and the colors went well together and brightened up the place! For the food, my partner and I ordered spam musubi, katsu pork sandwiches, loco moco, and a limeade slush! Here's the review of the food: Spam Musubi: It was interesting that they cut the musubi diagonally and it was plated in a sophisticated way. It tasted decent, but I have had better in Hawaii. Our musubi had egg in it which was good, but I wished it had more sauce and more flavor to it. For my preference, I would have preferred my musubi whole. Katsu Pork Sandwiches: The katsu pork was definitely crispy but my partner and I agreed that it was missing some seasoning and that the pork had no taste and wasn't as juicy. The bread was soft and fluffy, and we had slaw to the sandwich but wished we had more sauce and slaw to it since the Katsu Pork looked a bit thin and not as thick. The mac salad paired with this sandwich was good, I will say. If you are ever in the Bay Area and want a Katsu Sandwich, Bread N' Chu does a good job and they have other sandwiches that taste really good! Loco Moco: I really like that I had two runny eggs, who doesn't love more eggs! The Loco Moco had a different taste than what I am used to, since the curry had a different taste and I felt it did not suit the dish. I prefer the L&L Hawaiian Loco Moco (I am from Northern CA) and still remember the curry and how it complemented well with the rice and patty. Limeade slush: I am not sure if it is dependent on the person that makes it but our limeade slush was so sour I found it hard to finish and ended up getting a glass of water instead. If you like alcohol in your drinks they can add a shot to the slush, for extra money! Overall, the food was decent and the cashier was nice, but I don't find myself going back often or craving it.
