Our Roots

Have you had the pleasure of eating at Bamboo Grove Hawaiian Grille in Portland off South Macadam on South Carolina? Then you have had a taste of our Hawaiian roots. Mahalo for dining with us!

We are honored to open Hoku Events on Madison in Portland’s evolving east side. Our mission is to share Hawaiian aloha, culture and history through our event space. As a homage to its history as the Tony Starlight Showroom and Madison Hall, we chose to include the Hawaiian word for star, HŌKŪ, and the location, Madison, in our name.

The building, built in 1936 echoes its Art Deco era. In Spring 2024 we began updating our event space to reflect the timeless allure of this era while incorporating the tropical essence of Hawaii. Bringing a unique, versatile space that can be transformed into the perfect setting for your next event.

Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much) for considering our space for your next gathering. We look forward to serving you.
