This vibrant eatery passionately serves up authentic Hawaiian cuisine that transports your taste buds straight to the islands. With a variety of dishes prepared with care and infused with traditional flavors, GrindWitTryz quickly establishes itself as a must-visit for both locals and travelers alike.
Begin your gastronomic journey with their splendid Laulau Combo, a delightful ensemble featuring Laulau, Kalua Pig, and Poke for just $20.00. There's an undeniable joy in savoring the tender, flavorful meats alongside the fresh Poke, which is available in various portions for those who wish to indulge further. Customers rave about the Poke Nachos and the Ono Chicken, which collectively exhibit Chef's commitment to traditional Hawaiian flavors while ensuring delightfully large portions that are perfect for sharing.
But it isn’t just about quantity; it’s about quality. The standout feature at GrindWitTryz is the authentic taste that evokes memories of Hawaiian vacations and sun-soaked beaches. This sentiment is echoed in customer reviews, with one satisfied diner declaring it the best Hawaiian food they've had outside the islands.

“ The food was fantastic! Best Hawaiian I've had in a long time! At first I thought , this is expensive but after receiving the food i thought again! HUGE portions we had 2 meals from what we ordered. And the purple yam chocolate dessert was tops too 4 stars for service because you get it yourself when they call your name! ”
“ The food is delicious and the portions are overwhelmingly huge in a good way! Definitely sharable for two and probably still have leftovers. The poke nachos were amazing! The Ono chicken was also wonderful! ”
“ Best Hawaiian food I've had in Portland! All the flavors tasted authentic, and had depth to them. It wasn't overly sweet, and it didn't feel "gimmicky". The location is out of the way for Portland, but it had a very nice indoor and outdoor seating arrangement. Not to mention the portions were massive. I'm a bigger guy but even this was a bit much for me. Easily a single entree could be split with two people. For the price the portions are definitely a bargain. Definitely want to come back. So many options on the menu, and the poke sounded very good! Overall 8.4/10. ”
“ First time here and it felt like I was back on the Island. The food was good. If you are in the area a must try for so good Hawaiian food. Also it does get busy so go early. ”
“ I've tried several items on the menu and it is by far the place to get hawaiian food anywhere in any state! I've had many places in many states but nothing ever compares to the flavor let alone portion sizes. I sadly moved back to Vegas which is considered the "9th island" and let me say I'm heartbroken because the food here surprisingly is awful. I will forever miss this place for hawaiian food! It's absolutely perfect ”
“ We just moved here a month ago from the islands and this is by far the best local food. Being able to witness the Aloha being brought to Portland was special...made us feel at home. Even when leaving the owner spoke with us and thanked us for coming in. ”
“ Tasty! Luckily I was able to get in line before a huge crowd came it. Definitely get the mix plate so you can try more than one thing because the portion are huge. Chill atmosphere with music and indoor/outdoor seating. If I'm ever back in the Portland area I will make it a point to come here. ”
“ I got the poke nachos. It was about 26 bucks. It was very delicious. It was a lot of food for one person, and it was messy. You can make it up to two meals. Overall I enjoy it. ”
