We've tried Aloha Grill and its the worst place! So we weren't expecting too much from this place. But We loved this restaurant! We've already been back.
I ordered my favorite chicken dish that I loved so much at Local, shoyu chicken. Duc did the same with short ribs. Hawaiian dishes usually come with two scoops of steamed rice and one scoop of macaroni salad. Also, Hawaiian food is eaten with chop sticks. I assume because its a Pacific Island. Something else about Ducums, he's Vietnamese, and doesn't like using chopsticks, or doesn't prefer them. He often uses a fork at Asian restaurants, and this is no different.
Shoyu chicken has a great juicy flavor and the meat just pulls apart. Its a lot like pulled pork, but chicken and it tastes way different. Duc isn't a fan. The mac salad is macaroni noodles, mayo, carrot, seasoning, and various other ingredients depending on who you talk to. Its one of Duc's favorite things. The last time we went, he had two mac salad scoops and one rice.
These ribs are really good, but I hate bones and fat so I don't go near them.
Their teriyaki isn't bad, but it doesn't hold up to Local Boys. Om the first visit, we sat in the adjacent room, so we had been forgotten about for a bit and waited for a while before we got our food. The second time we sat in plain view and our food came out pretty fast. Its a great substitute for Local Boys while we're living in Tualatin.
It is definitely a good substitute until Local Boyz decide to expand to Portland!
