A pu pu platter is a tray of American Chinese or Hawaiian food consisting of an assortment of small meat and seafood appetizers. The Thrillist called the pu-pu platter "an amalgam of Americanized Chinese food, Hawaiian tradition and bar food." The pu pu platter was probably first introduced to restaurants on the United States mainland by Donn Beach in 1934, and has since become a standard at most Polynesian-themed restaurants, such as Don's and Trader Vic's.
