    All the food from this place is great! I LOVE the empanadas and Keleguen. Typical go to when I stop by. The BBQ plates are also really good too. The flavors are very comforting & brings me back home. The staff is very friendly too. Si Yu'os Ma'åse' 🇬🇺😋

    The people working are super friendly! The food is AMAZING! Unfortunately they were out of Lumpia today, but they have so many great plates that you can still fill up.

    Their food is so fresh and delicious! They stay busy and you can't order online but it's definitely worth the trip. The kimchi noodles are my favorite thing. You can't find them anywhere else around here! They grill everything fresh right in front of you. One of my new favorite places to go for lunch. Also, make sure to check their hours because it seems to change a lot but they keep their social media and Google pages updated!

    Went a few weeks ago. Got the Fiesta plate, some lumpia, and the kelaguen. It took awhile for the food to come out. Part of that is the woman taking the food is overly chatty. Some people might like this and seemed to be a lot of regulars, but when there's a line you gotta keep it moving (and while ordering my wife and I had a bunch of questions and small talk). For the food... the kelaguen was awesome. I'd recommend coming here and getting a large portion to bring as a salad to a bbq. Will be an absolute hit. The lumpia were good as well and I really liked the vinegar sauce. The fiesta plate was pretty weak in my opinion. Nothing was that flavorful and we didn't even finish the ribs. So some hits, some misses and overall 4 stars.

    The food is sooo good. I've had them a few times and always 100% satisfied. Literally never misses on taste or presentation. I have visited their food cart and have gone to a pop up event. They have been so kind to me every single time I've gone and visited. I can say I have tried 95% of their menu and have loved everything.

    Love this place! We have friends that are from Guam and have introduced us to the cuisine . We were lucky enough to order catering for a birthday and hope to continue to that a couple times a year. Everyone loved the food . Empty plates all around. Thank you and hope to continue to have them cater future family events

    Grew up in Portland (now living in Hillsboro), and we were out driving around today, and saw Portlands Rose City Food Park. Went inside, and only about half the places were open. I always love some good BBQ, and Chochu Local truly hits the spot! Watching the slabs of meat being grilled makes it hard to pass up if you thought you could walk away. Delicious BBQ Chicken - mouthwatering moist - lots of flavor. Gave us a beeper to let us know our food was ready. This place is worth us driving back !!!! Can't wait to try the rest of their menu !!

    I've been going to this place since March 27th 2014 when it was ran by Paul and called PDX 671. It is now Chochu Excellent food every time. Never disappointed, best place to eat from Tacoma, Washington through Grants Pass, Oregon. Not familiar with Chamorro food order anything on the menu with confidence.

    Food is always great! Well worth the drive from lacey,wa to enjoy good food. Will continue to return as often as we can. Pricing is fair and affordable. Chochu local brings the island to us! Thank you!!!

    World class island bbq, everything we had was perfect. Keep up the amazing work Been a few more times and everything we have eaten has been absolutely perfect. My favorite restaurant in Portland. Try the beef kelaguen if they have it.

    Ate here last summer and it was delicious. I especially love the empanadas and chicken kelaguen!!! If you're craving authentic Chamorro food, this is the place to go!
