Ate-Oh-Ate

YUM!! Plenty of outside seating too! I had a Mochico chicken and teriyaki chicken combo plate because I couldn’t decide between the two. The chicken was fantastic. I don’t know which one I liked more. They both had fantastic flavor and we’re well cooked. I adore the house teriyaki sauce. The only thing I did not love was the pasta salad. it was pretty ok and I liked the carrots in it, but it really lacked flavor; It tasted like boiled pasta with mayo and carrots and a little bit of salt. The dish would have been wonderfully paired with a bit of coleslaw or some thing fresh. But otherwise it was really wonderful and I had enough leftover to eat it again today and it was great. I had a piña colada to drink (no rum) and it was YUMMY M. It was perfect with my meal and was very enjoyable. I paid just a smidge over $20 for my huge meal and my delicious drink🙂 We ate inside of the restaurant and it’s very clean and spacious. My food was served surprisingly fast. My lunch meat had fried rice with sausage in it and it was magnificent. I had a couple of bites and it was so incredibly flavorful. The only thing I did not like about the environment was the music. It was an ok mix of older alternative music, and then it turned into rock music, and it was just too much. Perhaps something a little less edgy would have made the atmosphere more relaxing and more enjoyable, and more festive. If you or your companion are sensitive to loud music, or if you become overstimulated because of hard rock type music, you’ll probably want to sit outside . But there’s lots and lots of outside seating. Restaurant is wheel chair accessible 😊

It's nice to see that they moved into this new location (I'll miss Big's Chicken though). The food here is just as good as I remember it being, maybe better because I was hungry. The place is still pretty spacious, and not many changes were done. You still order at the counter, and they will bring your food when it's ready. We ordered a spam musubi, Loco Moco, and a 2 plate combo of kalbi and katsu. The Loco moco was great, especially their shitake gravy. I can just eat that with rice and call it good. The kalbi was flavorful, and the katsu was nice and crispy. Their mac salad was also pretty good. Overall, it was a great experience.

I think people need to stop comparing this place to 808 Grinds or similar restaurants. Why? Well, they're in different areas and have slightly different ways of cooking foods. Sometimes we need to appreciate what we have instead of complaining. If you don't like the food, say why and maybe the restaurant may improve in said area. I like how they do alcoholic beverages and seem to even have bar stools near the ordering area. Looks similar to Bigs chicken plus some Hawaiian themed decor. Also, the tip starts at 18% in case you tip slightly less for take out (you must do a custom amount). Has outdoor tables for those warm spring and summer days!

Used to be Big’s Chicken but recently became Ate Oh Ate’s new downtown Beaverton location. Ate Oh Ate is a local Hawaiian chain and is a play on words if 808, which is Hawaii’s area code. Both Bog’s Chicken and Ate Oh Ate are owned by the same multimillionaire. Mochicko Chicken with rice, macaroni salad and a Von Ebert Hazy IPA

Got the shoyu plate with kimchi. It was good, kimchi side was $3 and pretty small, likely wouldn't get that side again. Partner got the shoyu and katsu plate, I'd recommend this mix, katsu really good. Food is good, I do miss bigs chicken tho! 💔

I love their food! I visited the newly opened Beaverton location and wasn’t disappointed. My takeout order was hot and ready for me to pick up and was so flavorful. I will say it wasn’t as spicy as I’d thought it would be. I ordered the spicy chicken. But the flavors were delicious and portion size is perfect.

Best chicken teriyaki Ive ever had! I could eat the macaroni salad all day.

Ordered korean chicken plate and it came out cold like the chicken was just covered in kimchi with a little sauce on top. It was a 5.5/10 would not order again. The service was okay, but seemed a little tip greedy with a tip jar and auto 22% tip for my order. My wife ordered the chicken katsu which was okay 7/10.

Nice job on the menu change, I will miss the giant fried Chicken sandwich from Bigs. We really loved the two items we ordered, the Korean style chicken with Macaroni salad and a green salad side hit the spot. The dish is spicy, not to spicy that you want to pass this dish up, it had a lot of flavor and the serving size was easily enough for two. The second dish was a curry bowl with katsu chicken, a very nice blend, very filling and a lot of flavor. The inside of the location has not changed other than a more island theme. We ordered takeout and when we arrived the food was ready for us. Make sure to ask for some side dipping sauces they compliment the food. I am not following some of the other reviews. We will stop by again to continue to try the rest of the menu, we noticed some poke bowls to spam masubi.

I ordered from here tonight through Uber eats about 7:30pm. My food was delivered around 8:40 3 of our 4 items were MISSING! We reached out to the driver and he said the bag felt light and he asked the woman at the restaurant if she was sure that was everything and she said yes. We called the restaurant multiple times with no answer. It's now after 9 with a limited selection of places still open. I will never order from here again. Y'all should of left Bigs here and kept this mess to yourself

The food is ok. One thing the restaurant failed to informed their customers about SKYY Parking. When we pulled in and parked, we never saw any signs for pay to park. We got a $56 dollar parking fine in the mail with the camera capturing us pulling in and parked. In Beaverton, when did they start charging to park to eat. These restaurant need to kick these guys out or unless they are getting a kick back. I would not recommend this place and I hope they go out of business's. The food is over priced and it's too salty.

If you were a fan of Big's chicken then I'm sure you could probably relate to the slight heart attack I had when I saw that their location in Beaverton was suddenly changed to "Ate-Oh-Ate"... thankfully it's the same owner and their food was still good. Got their mochiko chicken plate, which is always my go-to at any Hawaiian restaurant that will offer it--it was good, good breading and good fry on it, and went well with the Mac salad. Their teriyaki chicken also had good flavor. Restaurant is casual and chill, and has the same set up and FCFS seating like Big's had. Sounds like my take on it is a little more positive than what others are saying but *shrug* I had a positive experience!

I think Ate-oh-Ate might be one of the more controversial businesses in Beaverton. People have strong opinions about the closing of the Beaverton location of Big's Chicken and, it seems, strong feelings about the food at Ate-oh-Ate. With all of that in mind, we wanted to check it out ourselves. Our first impression: the restaurant looks about the same aside from some cosmetic changes like a newly painted mural and different furniture. The overall layout is the same as Big's. We ordered the loco moco and Kalua pig plates. I liked the Kalua pig as the pork was smoky, tender, and not overly soggy or salty. I wish the Mac salad would be creamier, but overall I liked it. My fiancé ordered the loco moco and he wasn't crazy about it. He said it's "different" because it had a strong mushroom flavor like a cream of mushroom soup. As an Asian American, the mushroom taste didn't bother me, but I can see why it would be surprising for loco moco. We also ordered a slice of the butter mochi cake, and it was chewy, buttery, moist, and fluffy all at the same time. It was quite yummy I must say. Overall, I liked my Kalua pig plate and the butter mochi dessert. I would recommend both dishes.

This was my first time trying Ate Oh Ate and it was just alright. Nothing I ate was stand out delicious. We came on a week night so ordering was fast and the food came out quick. I got a Frozen Limeade and a Mochiko Chicken Plate. The limeade was very icy so the lime flavor was a bit too subtle. The Mochiko Chicken was crispy and juicy but not that flavorful. There were several sauces on the table that you could add to your plate but all of the sauces were just okay, one of which I couldn't put my finger on what it was.

Came here on day 2. So good! My favorite is the Korean chicken. Grilled and a Spicy Korean red sauce. Love it. The pork wasn't quite as good as the Burnside location. I'll give them a pass for it being day 2. The teriyaki chicken hot ravs, as did the Mochico chicken. So glad they are in beaverton @

Ate oh ate took over for Bigs Chicken. The space didn't really change too much from the bigs chicken. I felt like the food was fine it just satisfies the cravings. The chicken katsu was pretty thin and the mochiko chicken needed sauce for flavor. I went close to when they first opened at the location so they might be working out the kinks. The staff were pretty nice. Parking is mainly on the street.

What I found interesting was that some of the people working there today looked familiar when it was called Biggs Chicken. With all the Hawaiian places nearby I don't know why they changed their name and format. So I really thought I'd be coming into a good fine, but I left disappointed. Try the teriyaki chicken and the Shoyu chicken. Both were dry and lacked any real flavor except for the sauce that you would add. The Shoyu chicken looked very unappealing. It was boneless chicken thighs but the look and rubbery texture reminded me of organ meat. No flavor and over-cooked. Large eating area both inside and out but a "no" for me.

I recently visited this new Hawaiian restaurant in downtown Beaverton that replaced Big's Chicken, but unfortunately, it didn't quite meet my expectations, especially when compared to other local options. I ordered the pork katsu and chicken teriyaki plate. The chicken was bland, and the pork katsu was disappointingly thin. For sides, I chose the "Korean" salad over the Mac salad. However, it turned out to be just iceberg lettuce and radish, lacking any distinctive Korean flavors. Typically, I look forward to taking leftovers home from Hawaiian restaurants, but this time, I left feeling only half full.

Seriously miss Bigs Chicken......!!! But with that said had to try new addition to the Downtown Beaverton food scene!! Only my firt visit but was pleasantly surprised same staff as before!!! So y'all know they were AMAZING! SUPER FRIENDLY! WELCOMING! and ATTENTIVE even while being slammed!! Yes y'all sadly this spot is now super busy!!! So please be patient and open minded!! Unfortunately for me the food is three stars thus far....Sorry based on only my first of many attempts to come but definitely recommended!! Five stars based on beautiful décor, layout and wonderful staff!! Please go and support y'all!!

Kinda surprised at some of the negative reviews to date. I mean, yeah, I'm not dropping it a 5 star review (yet) but this wasn't a 1 or 2 star experience on either of my visits. Yes I miss Big's Chicken. I will also admit I burned out on Big's. When they first visited I was there a LOT. I couldn't get enough of their boneless grilled chicken thighs and all the sauces. So, it was with a bit of sadness, but not much, I saw them transition to Ate Oh Ate. I've been there twice within 2 weeks. On my first visit I had a shoyu chicken plate minus mac and the wife had the Korean chicken. Service was speedy, food was hot and the whole experience was quite good. My most recent visit I had a split plate of korean and teriyaki chicken. Same deal, great service, food was good and the atmosphere, while identical to Big's, is perfectly fine. I'm not sure what would prompt me to bump this to a 5 star review, but there's more on the menu to discover, and we'll be back!

It's nice to see that they moved into this new location (I'll miss Big's Chicken though). The food here is just as good as I remember it being, maybe better because I was hungry. The place is still pretty spacious, and not many changes were done. You still order at the counter, and they will bring your food when it's ready. We ordered a spam musubi, Loco Moco, and a 2 plate combo of kalbi and katsu. The Loco moco was great, especially their shitake gravy. I can just eat that with rice and call it good. The kalbi was flavorful, and the katsu was nice and crispy. Their mac salad was also pretty good. Overall, it was a great experience.

It looks like a Hawaiian restaurant, and their food looks like Hawaiian food, but lacks a certain authenticity. Moreover, to me, lacks the flavor and palette of Hawaiian food. We tried the Loco Moco and Mochiko Chicken; typical staples and watermarks for Hawaiian food. In both cases, I found the flavor and texture to be dry and suprisingly bland. Their Loco Moco patty was plain- seemingly unseasoned hamburger with a mushroom based gravy. The cashier did not ask me how I preferred my egg, which was a red flag. It was overdone. The mochiko chicken was simillarly dry, with a side mac salad that was strangely watery. There are other options within a reasonable distance and better pricing- I struggle to see how this restaurant will maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace.

The problem isn't that Big's is gone--it would still be here if people didn't burn out on the concept or straight-up abandon it for the carts. The issue is that there's just so much better Hawaiian in the area. It's been a long time since Roxy's and Hawaiian Time were the only options in car-bound, strip-mall Beaverton. This town is home to 808 Grindz, Hapapino, Shaka Brah and Kuli Kuli. Palenaka's up in the pod might be the best Hawaiian joint west of the tunnels. Even if you're out in the boonies, Hawaiian Kine, Kaos, other 808 Grindz (if that building ever reopens), Habu and Kama'aina have you covered. Ate Oh Ate is perfectly fine if you went to the Laurelhurst and are craving Hawaiian and feeling lazy. But man, I forget exactly who they're making this for and what their palate is like. This is a fairly bland, socks-and-sandals tourist interpretation of better menus just steps away. I understand why management would think this concept would fare better in Beaverton than Southern fried chicken that clearly reached the end of its shelf life, but this is a disappointing failure of good intentions.

Mid food at best. Got the fried rice with Portuguese sausage. There was celery in the rice... odd but the sausage tasted more like Vienna sausage from a can that was boiled instead of friend. I like my sausage crispy and spicy. Not sure what brand they used but it was a miss. Service was nice so can't knock them for that but food is not.

Pretty alright. Maybe my expectations were too high after having frequented the Big's Chicken this replaced. I had hoped for something similarly inventive, but instead found it to be just basic. Kalua pork was tender but rather salty and about 30% cabbage. It came with a vinegar sauce that was fine. Mac salad tasted like Mac salad: plain and fatty in a comforting sort of way, but not necessarily positive or negative. Probably won't be back--too many other good options in that neck of the woods.

Unfortunately, the worst Hawaiian food we've eaten in Portland/Beaverton area. While the employees seem to think highly of the food, we did not. Spam musubi should NEVER be served lukewarm nor cold, yet that's what was presented to us. When we asked why it wasn't warm/hot, the totally uninterested employee told us that it's their normal for it to be barely warm because it's premade and sitting under a heat lamp. There was never an offer to get us one that was warmer or something else off the menu. We had to push the issue with someone with more authority to even get something different. Cold spam musubi is not something anyone should feed themselves nor their loved ones. The loco moco got the "loco" right in the sense that anyone would be crazy to call their gravy and patty tasteful; at least they didn't screw up the egg and rice. They also got the first half of "shiitake" right when describing their gravy. Overall a gigantic fail. Don't let this place confuse you with the real "808 Grinds" which is 1000x better than this imposter.

Above average Hawaiian food with the added benefit of a nice little bar. Service was good and prices right in range. People will probably complain that it's not Big's Chicken anymore but that's hardly fair.

The food here is RUBBISH! I ordered mochiko chicken. They said it's super crispy. This thing is super soggy. Mac salad sucks. Teriyaki chicken & fried rice was eh. I spent about $70 for rubbish food. And these fakas forgot my musubi which I already know is going to suck anyways. You guys want REAL Hawaiian food. Check out 808 Grinds instead. Easy access and plenty parking.

Been in a few times since the inexplicable change from Big's , which I really liked. First visit - the teriyaki chicken was pretty good, but very similar to a handful of other places around Beaverton. The mac salad was dry - not as good as Roxy's or 808 Grinds but you can sub that out for a green salad instead. Second visit -- had the shoyu chicken and couldn't finish it. Dry, flavorless and visually it looked very unappealing - like a piece of brown rubber. That will probably be my last visit.
