"For three decades, Noho’s has been introducing mainlanders here in Oregon to Hawaiian favorites like tender slow-cooked kalua pork and tangy mac salad, alongside an expansive pan-Pacific menu including teriyaki and Korean fried chicken. Noho’s original Clinton street location is no more, but the Fremont outpost’s back patio is one of the loveliest in Portland. On days when the weather is less tropical, the surfboard-adorned indoor dining room is spacious. Noho’s drinks menu is highlighted by two Hawaiian brews, a Hawaiian white wine, and a rum-heavy cocktail list." - Nathan Williams
