Noho's Hawaiian Cafe

Noho's Hawaiian Cafe serves Hawaiian-style plate lunches with scoops of sticky rice and macaroni salad, along with island dishes that draw on Pacific Rim flavors such as teriyaki, Korean sauces, yakisoba noodles and poke. The recipes come from the owner's childhood in Hawaii, and the portions are generous.

The Portland restaurant on NE Fremont Street has a tropical bar and back patio with an outrigger canoe, palm trees and a fire pit, and it can be reserved for meetings and parties. Portland catering can serve up to 3,000 guests, and the Medford location, on E McAndrews Road, offers pickup and delivery catering. Orders can be placed online or by phone.
