Big Kahuna's BBQ & Catering

We recently used Big Kahuna to cater a party, and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. The pulled pork and chicken were a huge hit, and we had very little left over. The staff were very courteous and pleasant as well. We’ll definitely be using them again!!!

I recently ordered from Big Kahuna Hawaiian BBQ, and it was a complete disappointment. First of all, the food arrived cold, which was a huge letdown. But the real shocker came when I took a bite of the chicken— it was still raw! I couldn’t believe it. Not only was it inedible, but it also made me question the restaurant's food safety standards. For a place that’s supposed to be known for quality Hawaiian BBQ, this was absolutely unacceptable. Definitely won't be returning. Avoid this place unless you want a food safety scare.

My company recently used Big Kahuna's BBQ for an event and it was incredible! They showed up on time, delivered incredible food, and even packaged the leftovers. The pulled pork and chicken is phenomenal, I would highly consider having these guys cater for any event!

This is the first place I ate in Portland when I moved here over 10 years ago, so I will always have a place in my heart for them! You can’t go wrong ordering. Everything is delicious

The brisket and chicken is so tender and has the right amount of smoke n seasoning. The Mac salad is delicious and the kale kimchi has this perfect balance of slightly sweet, salty and sour flavor. It is my new favorite. Also the island slaw is delicious! Definitely will be coming back! So Ono 😋

I've shown up to this establishment 5 times(tried to call in an order 3 other times, 8 instances total) in the past month and a half during their "operating hours" different times, some earlier and some later. I've been turned away in person, no explanation. Just a "sorry, we are closed" or a "sorry, we are catering today", other times, no one is there. I've only showed up during their business hours. I've tried to show up earlier in the day hoping to make it. As a customer, I have to plan my lunch hour. I understand things happen.....but the inconsistent behavior is so problematic, I just can't keep this place on my menu unfortunately. I get its a small business, but this is so hard to plan lunch when it's this inconsistent. First world problems I guess.

This place is good. Chicken bowl for under $10 is almost unheard of these days. Great Hawaiian food at a reasonable price.

Big Kahuna's made our office 2023 celebration FABULOUS!! We booked for 50 and had some of the most tender and delicious Huhi Huli chicken, and flavorful Kalua pulled pork with all the trimmings, and everyone loved EVERYTHING, and there were even leftovers for them to take home! Very generous portions of great food at a very reasonable price!! What's not to love!! Wonderful staff...Gary was so accommodating... highly recommend them for any event!! I know we'll be back!
