Hawaiian plate lunches: 808 fried chicken, short ribs, mac salad

"Some are lucky enough to splurge on a wedding in Hawai’i, but a wedding with delicious Hawaiian food is more realistic for the rest of us. The 808 Grinds truck can bring its lineup of plate lunch favorites like kalua pig, shoyu chicken, and both ahi and tofu poke. Sides include slaw, rice, and of course mac salad. Check out menus and send in a catering request on the carts’ website." - Rebecca Roland
"I see 808 Grinds listed among the current lineup of rotating food trucks in PBOT’s pilot program; it’s described in the piece as a longstanding favorite appearing at downtown spots such as the Pacwest Center (1121 SW Fifth Avenue), outside the NV Apartments (1261 NW Overton Street), and Lownsdale Square Park (350 SW Salmon Street)." - Janey Wong
"Mentioned as a supportive local business, Jensen Yip of 808 Grinds helped Kurek with starting her food cart, providing community support during her launch." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"I noted that the Hawaiian restaurant and food cart has donation boxes at all three Portland-area locations and is contributing 10 percent of its profits to Maui United Way, Maui Food Bank, and the Salvation Army." - Janey Wong
"Once a centerpiece of the downtown Portland Alder Street Food Cart Pod, the team’s restaurant remains a contender as a top Hawaiian spot in greater Portland. The 808 fried chicken is no joke, and the short ribs are a standout, especially when paired with a scoop of mac salad with the ideal dose of mayo. 808 Grinds in Cedar Mill is a heavy-hitter in the social distancing takeout roster. Delivery available via UberEats." - Jordan Curtis
