Noho's Hawaiian Cafe

Hey Portland: try this place!

by peex at Citysearch

Aside from the excellent food, I would come here simply for the fact that I am SO impressed with the customer service I recently experienced. After a not-so-great experience with an employee at the Cedar Hills location (who is longer there) I called to express my concern to management. When I called I spoke to Noho himself who more than compensated me for my meal. I honestly felt that he was glad I called.

Seriously, delicious food (try the Ono or Korean chicken), great guest service and a local business (I think!). Please try this place out. You will be giving your business to a genuine person and establishment.

• Pros: delicious food, great guest service, good value
• Cons: usually busy during lunch rush

If I only could go to 1 restaurant, this would be the one!

I have to admit, it's tempting to keep quiet about Noho's fantastic food. After all, who wants the whole world at your favorite restaurant?..........But, I'll squelch my selfishness to tell you that Noho's has the BEST chicken. I always order the same thing - the Ono Chicken. It's so good it practically melts in your mouth.=========================== The seating is pretty tight at the Clinton Street location, so don't expect a private dining experience --- just expect great food & fast service.

• Pros: The FOOD!
• Cons: Not a lot of room at the tables, or in between tables

NoHo's indeed!

by mickefresh at Citysearch

This place is far from a hho. In fact, it's fantastic. The portions are huge and the price is great. I've been to other NoHo's locations and none can compare to the one on Clinton. Yeee!

Great Hawaiian Food

by zappachef at Citysearch

Noho's is one of the few restaurants that we missed in the 7 years that we were away from Portland. I always looked forward to stopping by Noho's as soon as we got into town. Now that we live here agian, we have gotten in to our old habbits and we get take out there at least once a week. The Yakisoba with Ono Chicken, Sesame Oil and Oyster sauce is the best. The teriyaki beef and Kaluha Pork are solid as well. The service is always super friendly, the prices are cheap and the place is kid friendly. I am glad to see that Noho's is growing, they deserve it.

• Pros: There is nothing on the menu that is bad
• Cons: There isnt one in Sellwood

Best Hawaiian joint in town!

by chinobambino at Citysearch

Phil's Ono chicken and Spicy Korean ribs. That's it. You can't go wrong with that tandem like Abbott and Costello, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, Watson and Crick. Like most Hawaiian fare, it's heavy on the meat and starches (rice and mac salad) and veggies are nary to be seen. Large portions (especially Blalah size) and prices are commensurate. Fresh seafood is usually on the menu and also is prepared well, but again, the staples that Noho's is known for are the chicken and beef.

Quaint setting located across the street from Clinton St. Theatre, and great for people watching. Expect a 10-15 minute wait for a table during dinner hours, but say Hi to Noho when he's in, as he will talk story with you.

They also cater events, so keep that in mind next time you're trying to feed a hungry army, and want to keep them at bay.

Highly Recommended!

• Pros: Great Hawaiian cuisine on the eastside!
• Cons: Smallish cafe setting with a wait, but it is homey feeling.

Best Hawaiian I Have Ever Had

by jimmycat at Citysearch

My wife and I just went there lst night for the first time. The environment was cozy and comfortable and the service was excellent! I decided to try the Kaluha Pig and my wife went for the Teriyaki Chicken. Both dishes were absolutely fabulous! I can't say enough about the Kaluha Pig!!! I got an extra large order, simply so I could take leftovers home! The portions are big and the taste is superb! This will now be a favorite place for us!

• Pros: Taste, Value, Service
• Cons: None

I love Noho's

by sagittarian at Citysearch

Don't know what we would do without you Noho's! The food is consistently great and the servers are warm and welcoming. On Friday's you can get Kalua pig! Who could ask for more.

• Pros: Great atmosphere, food, servers

Best plate lunch in Portland

by dblack19 at Citysearch

Nohos is just good... no arguing about it. They cook some amazing ono and teri chicken and short ribs, the mac salad is creamy and will make you have a huge bum if you eat it on the regular, but its all good in moderation! I can't say enough about this place, however, it's small so don't take your family of 14 there and expect to get seated promptly!

• Pros: great hawaiian food
• Cons: too small for your family of 14

Just like Hawaii

by srahim at Citysearch

All the dishes are perfect comfort food - many just like I've had in Hawaii. The savory chicken with rice and macaroni salad are a perfect guilty pleasure and enough for two. A great take out option when I'm in the neighborhood

• Pros: comfort food, convenience
• Cons: ?calories

If you love food.........youll love Nohos

by selliott58 at Citysearch

Been going here for years..........even when it was a place called Local Boyz. While the food is simple, it is also very good and can be had in gargantuan proportions if wanted. There are times when it is just what the doctor ordered, and has enough diversity on the menu to please most folks. Carnivores delight, and a great place for kids!

• Pros: Food, Price, service
• Cons: A bit small, parking
