    Great Food from even better people

    Noho was such a great choice to cater our wedding. He was so helpful, enthusiastic, and friendly. He made sure to take care of everything that we asked of him and never complained. We could feel Noho's warmth every time we interacted with him and that really helped seal the deal. He also drove many miles to cater our wedding, but was on time and prepared well before he had to be.

    While the service was excellent, the food was even better. It was tasty and there was so much of it! They packaged all of our leftovers for us and we enjoyed them for several days afterwards. That helped spread the wedding bliss for even longer.

    Amazing Food and Customer Service!

    Noho and his team really knocked it out of the park for our wedding! My husband grew up on Maui so having Hawaiian food for our wedding was a must and Noho's food is the best in Portland! The venue was essentially in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a small prep kitchen and everything was perfect! His team was super pro and essentially ran the whole wedding alongside our planner. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious filling Hawaiian food!

    Definitely get the noodles

    We loved working with Noho to cater our wedding. He is an absolute pro who has been in business for 20+ years and it shows. He helped us find a bunch of ways to save money and worked out a menu to fit our budget, not the other way around. “Don’t pay me until after and then only if you’re 100% satisfied” is integrity we didn’t get from any of the other caterers we looked at. He also helped with creative problem solving around some of the logistics for our event. The food was excellent and we didn’t see any less quality at the wedding than what you get at the restaurant every day.

    Noho's Hawaiian Cafe''s reply:

    Aloha you Two! I hope you had a fantastic honeymoon, and that life is settling in for you. Thank you so much for having us be a part of your beautiful day. I'm so glad that it all worked out for all of us, and that you were happy.
    That's the most important item, your happiness.
    Hope to see you two soon!
    Love and Aloha
    Noho

    When was the last time you went to a wedding and could remember the food and actually wanted more!? Want all of your guests to nonstop rave about your food choice? Want some of the friendliest staff you could imagine working your wedding? Look no further. Seriously the service and food available won over the whole family - of picky eaters with food allergies no less. From our first meeting with Noho - we knew we were making the best choice for our wedding. The food was unbeatable and plentiful. We had so many options at a reasonable price. The bartenders and servers were sweethearts - not just to me as the bride but to the entire wedding. Noho went above and beyond for us and truly is the reason our wedding was such a success.

    Noho and Nina and two of the most kind, wonderful, amazing people to work with. They took care of EVERYTHING! literately everything. Everyone who met them during the wedding couldn't stop commenting on how wonderful they where to meet and/or work with. I have a big Italian family that was very nervous about the food since A.) No one from my family helped prepare/ make it and B.) because it was not Italian. ... so Noho's crew was serving to some VERY tough audience members ;) After dinner...they could not stop raving about how wonderful the food was! All night everyone, not just family, commented on how great the food was and they wanted to make sure to take some home with them. I can't say enough about Noho and his crew. They are the best. Simply the best.

    Just the absolute best! Noho and Nina were amazing, fun-loving, and so easy to work with. There was SO MUCH FOOD, and everybody loved all of it.

    It's been weeks, and I'm still getting calls from family asking where they can get more of that Macaroni Salad!!!!

    We had our daughters wedding at the Water Oasis in Newberg Oregon, which is a tropical Oasis in itself, so what better food to serve than Hawaiian..... Nina & Noho were fabulous and provided a feast for all our wedding guests. Everything was amazing. They also were able to provide us with a bartender and a wonderful hawaiian beer. Fabulous!!!

    I think we used a Noho's in a different part of Portland, but it was all coordinated through the same people, and even Noho himself. This was probably one of the BEST parts of my wedding!!!

    First, we did this awesome taste testing with Noho himself. He went out of his way to give advice and help us make food choices in anyway possible.

    After that when we decided to go with them, Noho's assistant met us for the planning period. She was AMAZING! She went through the whole schedule with us and just talked with us about this and that. She really stepped out of her role as just the caterer and became also kind of a day of coordinator. She asked us to e-mail us or call her anytime with questions.

    This place is just the definition of great customer service!!

    Then we decided we wanted to have two servers and also switch a food option. No problem at all! They did exactly what we wanted, whatever we wanted, to make our day absolutely perfect!!!

    On the day of, they arrived promptly. Set up during the ceremony quietly and the day was flawless with catering. Dinner was served on time, hot and delicious!! Our guests couldn't stop raving about our food!

    We had a menu of rice, mac salad, pork, chicken, ysoabi noodles and green salad. We also had ice tea and lemonade. We provided the alcohol and bottled water and appetizers. They let us serve our appetizers right next to the dinner table, no problems, which saved a ton of money!

    Total with servers we paid about $20-$25 a person. We gave a headcount of a week before. And 3-4 people didn't show. That said, we had so much food left over we were able to freeze some, and bring some on our honeymoon travels. We will be eating this for weeks and I couldn't be happier with my experience with Noho's or the catering at my wedding!!

    Excellent food and service!

    Not only is the food great, which we already knew from the restaurant, but Noho was so wonderful to work with for my son's wedding. Helped us stay within budget- he is so fair with his prices and then goes above and beyond with things like setting up the cake (bought elsewhere) and serving. He helped us come up with a plan for beer and wine service and gave us plenty of options for the food and drinks. Highly recommend Noho for catering!

    Such good food! Everyone we worked with at Noho's was incredibly nice and helpful. They worked with us on budget, let us serve our own beverages as well as homemade food along with theirs and made great suggestions when putting together our menu.

    They have great options for vegetarians too! Three out of four of my bridesmaids are vegetarians along with several of our guests, we didn't want them to feel left out and hungry. With the menu we settled on, I was told that our vegetarian guests were satisfied. Plus Noho's can seemingly set up shop anywhere, our wedding was in a backyard.

    I knocked them down a star on Responsiveness because they can be a little slow at times. They get really busy during the summer wedding season, so be persistent! They're also really laid back, but they totally have you covered.

    Oh, and everyone loved the leftovers after the wedding too.

    Noho's provided great service and were very responsive to our desires. Noho himself met with us for more than one tasting and consultation, and he was very realistic and helpful. He even visited our venue with us to help us visualize the layout of everything, not just the catering. Our guests loved the food, and we were overall very happy that we decided to have Noho's Hawaiian food at our wedding.
