This place is 100% a must try. I've tried something different all 4 times I've gotten food from here and every time it's been absolutely phenomenal. Hawaiian has always been one of my favorite types of foods, and this place is my favorite Hawaiian place, no competition

Great flavors. Ordered the chicken katsu moco, the mushroom gravy was thinner /lighter than I like but the fry on the chicken was great. Also had the kalbi ribs which had nice char and crispness and good aweet flavor. The panko spam masubi reminded me of a tempura sushi roll and was also legit.

Absolutely loved the vibe of this place! Food was hot and fresh, great flavors and textures. Workers were friendly and kind. We got the mochiko chicken lunch plate and an order of krab crispy rice to share. The tataki ponzu sauce with the mochiko chicken was PERFECTION! Crispy rice was popular, I hear they sell out often. My only critique is the crispy rice could use a little less time in the fryer as it was a bit hard for my taste; I like it lightly crispy on the outside and soft/chewy on the inside. Prices are reasonable and well worth a stop! Also, their restroom is “behind a bush”, referring to their greenery gate that you push through to go to the actual restroom. How fun is that?!

I absolutely loved this place. I came down from just south of Olympia to spend the day at Sauve Island National Wildlife Refuge. I needed something to eat after a nice long day of hiking around a beautiful area. I was craving some Loco Moco so I googled hawaiian food nearby. I ended up at a different place in their parking lot and had second thoughts, so I googled some more and found this place. The reviews brought me in, even though it was 20 minutes away. It's a nice cozy little place with an open kitchen. The two guys there were the owners I believe and were very welcoming and and kind. I asked about the Loco Moco and the gentleman assured me it was excellent so I placed my order. This was the best Loco Moco I have ever had! The gravy was full of flavor, the rice was perfectly cooked and the hamburger was cooked exactly how I like it. The macaroni salad was also the best I have had. I can't wait to be in the area again to have it again or thr the Mochiko chicken! Highly recommend!

This place opened recently in our neighborhood so my husband and I tried it out as he likes Hawaiian food. We got takeout for dinner and ordered the Mochiko Chicken and Kalbi Ribs. We were really impressed by how tender and flavorful the ribs were, and the chicken was also moist and flavorful. Portions were big, and service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be returning.

An absolutely delicious meal 💕 The price was appropriate for the amount of food in my meal. It's all about the mac salad, and I was not disappointed. The best delight was the panko musubi 🤤 I'm ready to go back and try more of the menu. The online ordering is easy to use

Super happy this restaurant has a brick and mortar location. Super delicious Hawaiian options and the owner is very kind and personable. Definitely takes pride in the food and getting authentic meals to customers. Place is a bit small and informal so it’s great for a fantastic meal to pick up but may not be the most ideal for a sit down date or dine in experience. Also if you are waiting for an order the space for waiting is limited. To make up for that the staff is friendly, the meal prep is quick and the food is fantastic !! Will be going back and will be recommending to friends. Keep up the great work Kove Island Comfort Cuisine

We’d been excited to try this spot ever since it opened—especially since it’s just minutes from home. We admittedly arrived right as they were closing and quickly realized our timing wasn’t ideal. Instead of turning us away (which would have been completely understandable), the team graciously offered to make us one last meal for the night. That kind of kindness sticks with you. It reflects their commitment to serving comforting, high-quality food to the community. The meal (Mochiko) itself was excellent, and the staff made us feel genuinely cared for. We’ll definitely be back soon and next time, we’ll be sure to come well before closing! Mahalo, Kove team!!

While visiting Portland and aiming for the beach, we exited the highway during the rush hour and saw this tiny restaurant with very few reviews. We came in with an open mind and ordered a couple dishes. We got Galbi and the spicy salmon poke. Despite the fact that some ingredients were sitting in the fridge, food was actually quite fresh. I would definitely recommend checking out this new restaurant, especially if you live in Portland area!
