After reading Dogbytes' reviews of Portland area Plate Lunches I decided we need a Plate Lunch Review thread. I figured I'd follow the layout of Locating Tiki but put them in Tiki Drinks & Food since most plate lunch places are Hawaiian themed but not Tiki. I'm starting with the place nearest my work: Name: Island Boy Grille Description: A small storefront with an open kitchen, about 10 crowded tables inside & a couple crowded tables outside. There are several Tikis inside , a Primo Beer shadow box, some Hula pictures & a Julian Cruz longboard on the walls. Not alot of atmosphere, but what wonderful food! Every day they have Kalua Pig & Lau-Lau, and their Chicken Katsu would pass my dear Nana's Schnitzel test: you could sit on it & not get your pants greasy; but don't sit on it, Cover it with the Katsu sauce & enjoy! Their Plate Lunch consists of 2 scoops of rice, an entree, a choice of side (you can choose Macaroni salad, Seafood Potato salad with shrimp & crab, Lomi Salmon, Lumpia, Chicken Long Rice, fried Wontons, Kim Chee, Fries...) & a green salad, all for around 6 bucks! Everything's cooked to order, but still faster than say Mickey D's. Their website is http://www.islandboygrille.com/home_ibg.asp |
