If you're from the Island and miss the real stuff, go here. The butter mochi and top-notch and everything else is just what you think it is- taste wise and all.

the food is delicious . i had the mahi mahi and shrimp with butter sauce. i was almost finished before I realized I forgot to get a picture . i brought home the trifecta for my BF. He loved it. Honestly having to smell all that deliciousness from Beaverton to East Vancouver was really difficult . Oh and the butter MOchi is not what you know of mochi. it's baked like a brownie and the inside is gooey and choowy but anywhere that touches the pan is caramelized and crunchy. Completely addictive. i should have ordered 2 boxes when I got there because when I ordered my Togo they were out. . i also find their prices to be very reasonable which is a big plus these days Give this little place a try. you will be so glad you did.

808 Grinds catered our wedding and did an amazing job! Most importantly, the food was delicious (we got so many compliments from family and friends). In addition, they provided excellent service, from sitting down with us to taste test the food before booking to serving the food on the big day. Great communication and excellent options, allowing us to customize the menu and pricing to our needs. They fed 180 people with enough leftover to eat for a couple days. It was perfect.

Not sure how to feel, usually this business comes to my work via food truck, decided to take my son to lunch to the brick and mortar in Beaverton. The Chicken Katsu is his favorite dish to eat at Sushi places. By the looks of the photos on Yelp everything added up but when his food came it was made with chicken thigh not breast and he ended up peeling the heavily breaded chicken apart to eat it. I got the loco moco but it seemed saltier than when I had it at the food truck. The restaurant vibe was nice, clean and well staffed.

Aloha Spirit in the form of Food!! They always make me feel so welcomed here. Its like being back home in Hawaii! Always greeted, always served with a smile. The food is always on point. So ONO!! I been in Portland for a few years now and was craving good authentic Hawaiian Poke. The make your own bowl places are good and all, but I want that fresh fish, buttery texture and a salty finish. I get that here at 808. Last time I was here I got the Poke Sampler which was 2 of their Ahi Poke and their Salmon Poke. My goodness... It was enough for 2 meals. They said 10oz but it really felt like a whole pound! So much freshness and great texture. It's like they made it right next to the ocean in the islands. You get to even choose one of their special sauces, I always get the Sweet Wasabi. Man, I can eat anything with this stuff!! I dream about it and to put a ring on it. Its that good, trust me, thank me later!
