This place is definitely worth trying! They catered my daughter's wedding and we received nothing but great feedback from all of our guests!

Order online, stop by and pick up. Online ordering is very convenient and made for a good lunch break. I ordered chicken katsu and, while what I got tasted 'good' - it was not chicken katsu. This was pre battered chicken patty with the texture of a chicken nugget. The Mac salad is delish! Heavy on the Mayo and the macaroni is perfectly cooked. Green salad gave a fresh bite!

My husband would rate this 4 stars, he ate the entire Tri-Tip sandwich, looks too big, but he did! He ordered brisket sandwich. A good variety of BBB Sauce. The Hawaiian Macaroni Salad was tasty.I ordered the Quarter Rack Rib Rice plate. Side order of Island Slaw & Kale/Cabbage Kimchee. I rate mine 3 stars. Even though it was tasty all the way, it was like over-cooked, dry & tough! It came with 3 ribs, and was able to nibble (yes there was a knife & fork), using my fingers, only have room for 1 rib.Taking the rest of the ribs, & put them in soup to soften them up. By the time we were getting up to leave, I spotted an ant on my table!

I've driven by this Hawaiian-food restaurant at least a couple hundred times, yet I had never popped in to actually try it. They have strange hours; mainly late morning to about five pm, which is typically outside my schedule. They focus mainly on catering, but do have a small dining area in the front of the building. I decided to try it out, since there aren't any other Hawaiian food places that I know of in North Portland. I got the chicken rice plate with a double order of mac salad. The chicken was grilled with a nice layer of char, and lightly sweetened with a hint of spice. It was good quality chicken and they gave me quite a large portion, on top a bed of rice. The mac salad was nice and creamy, with large macaroni noodles. Again, huge portions and even with a single side I would have been satisfied. The price for this with a Diet Coke? 10.25. Yup, you read that right, only $10.25. Considering the portion size and the quality, I am very impressed and believe it's a good bargain. The service was very nice also, and my waitress was attentive and checked frequently on us. The dining area is minimal, they do not serve alcohol, and I don't believe they have wi-fi. It's definitely no-thrills, but if you want good food at a reasonable price it delivers. They also do to-go orders over the phone or online, and offer a deal where you get a free meal if you order ten times online. My only critique is their fairly limited hours, and wishing they could be a bit more flexible for the traditional crowd. But I also understand they focus more on catering rather than dine-in.

We hired these guys to cater our wedding in 2012, it was amazing! I still dream about their potato salad. So glad they survived the shut downs in 2020 and 2021!

Catered for our sons wedding, the food was great and The customer service was terrible. There was a mishap on the order, we ordered the tropical fruit salad, not the Mac salad. Again, everything was good. When I sent Gary a text that the order was wrong, he sent me a text back that we should of checked our invoice. Our invoice shows "tropical fruit salad". So I called him and he was very rude.

Bottom line, stop in and eat here. Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. If you choose to eat in, there are only three tables, so the inside is kinda small. It's clear they focus on catering. I ordered the pulled pork with mac and my daughter ordered the chicken. Both were really good. They have a few different sauces to try. Big portions and reasonably priced. This place has been added to our favorites!!

Consistently lies about their opening hours, not consistent on maps or their own website. The hours are slim and I'm not sure how it's even in business any more

We hired Big Kahuna's BBQ for our wedding catering, and we're SO happy we did! I'm from Hawaii, and really wanted Hawaiian food at our wedding, but didn't want to go over budget. Gary at Big Kahuna's was so helpful in working within our budget to make our wedding dreams come true! He helped us build a menu and was very flexible with any changes I needed to make. On our wedding day, the Big Kahuna team showed up, set up, replenished food in the buffet line, and then packed up to-go containers with any leftovers for our guests! Aside from the amazing service we received, the food was also SO GOOD! All of our guests asked who we catered with because they loved it so much. I'm just so happy with Big Kahuna's and if you're looking for a caterer for your wedding or next event, go with Big Kahuna's! Best food and best service ever!

Ordered on Postmates and this is by far the worst Hawaiian food I've ever eaten. The mac and cheese is the same noodles as the mac salad. The chicken has that fake plastic taste like In microwave dinners. The Mac salad is bland And I'm pretty sure is just mayonnaise on noodles.
