“If you all go here I hope Jayden is working! She is incredible. So friendly and her customer service skills are over the top! Can’t find this kind of customer service very often these days but she is amazing! Hope she’s treated well by the comp y and she stays at this location a long time!!“
“Love it. I get the V1 or pho at least a couple times a month. Tempura ? shrimp perfectly fried. Light, crispy, not greasy. This family-run restaurant is the best place to dine East of 82nd on Sandy. Clean, pretty, beautifully decorated. Order online food ready within 15 minutes. Great service and welcoming, unlike many other Vietnamese restaurants around town.“
“Incredible food and fun interior/ambiance, though cocktails were mediocre. Highlight of our visit to Portland and visited twice in 2 weeks.The food was unbelievably tasty — they really didn’t compromise on Texan barbecue quality with their Thai focus. The white curry with brisket burnt ends was one of the best dishes I’ve had all year. The massaman lamb curry was phenomenal too.The cocktails (Shoulda Woulda Coulda and Life of Luxury) were unfortunately overly sweet and candy-like. I would skip them and just get a cold Singha draft or their alcohol-based slushies instead.We received cold service on our first visit but super friendly and attentive service on the second. We walked in with no wait on a Monday at 4:30pm and waited 1h30 on Saturday evening at a great wine bar across the street.“
“One of my top 5 favorite place to eat in PDX. The sesame noodles are bright, fresh, and chewy. Served chilled and perfect for summer time. The pork is tender and perfectly seasoned.I have a difficult time finding food that's not too spicy (seems a current PDX trend). They balance it perfectly. I'd more or less given up on enjoying that mouth numbing delightfulness of the Sichuan peppercorn without being blasted with the heat of a million chilies. But they've found the sweet spot. Prices on par with other places in the area. Plus you can enjoy the food in their neighboring establishment, Holy Ghost.I highly recommend paring any noodle dish with the 5min Gin Fizz!“
“We stopped here on a short trip to Portland. We ordered the sliced brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage and coleslaw. The brisket was a showstopper. It was tender and really is what you dream brisket tastes like. The sausage was phenomenal and the coleslaw was just fine. The peach mustard BBQ sauce was a surprisingly wonderful addition to the meats. I would buy it by the jarful if I could!“
“A food truck with mighty flavors in their tacos! This was featured in netflix so it was a must stop to check out during our portland trip. It's located in Hinterland Bar& food Carts. The truck is at the end of the row, near their version of indoor/outdoor seating..The covered outdoor seating has heat lamps. The dining areaWas nice and cozy during the day. The seating area have a fair amount of seating, self-serve water, and a modest shelter from the wind and rain..I ordered the chopped brisket tacos which consist of brisket and guacamole. The brisket was the epitome of juicy. The tortilla were soft and warm. The brisket flavors together was savory delicious. It's safe to say my tastebuds were seredipity! The size of the tacos are surprisingly deceiving as they leave you feeling a healthy full..I also got the smoked turkey taco with guacamole and it was pleasing to the presentation. The turkey taco had good chunks of white turkey meat. The taco was refreshing too. I wouldn't have thought about smoked turkey tacos as my second choice but it was great to experience something different. It's great being adventurous sStreet parking since it's near a residential area. The server whohanded me my food was nice. The ordering process was a breeze as you order on atablet located at the front of the truck and they text you when your order is ready. Matt'sBBQ Tacos is a revisit when I am craving a snack at the food trucks and l'm looking forward to trying out other creations. Hope this review is helpful and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day.“
“Just had the half pound pastrami brisket sandwich available as the Thursday special. Absolutely amazing. Very generous half pound. As tender, juicy and delicious brisket as I have had. I will be making the trip here often and maybe not just on Thursdays.“
“I've eaten smoked meats all my life, but this food is unlike anything I have ever had. No disrespect to my own father, but the people behind these smoked foods are incredible and GENIUS. I am beyond impressed with the flavor of each item I had the privilege of trying out. First I'll start with the brisket slider. Just based off the smell I knew I was going to be blown away. I was immediately on a joyride of flavor with my first bite. The perfect amount of smoke flavor, combined with the juiciness of the meat, as well as the crunch from the slaw made that slider absolutely to die for. The potato wedges are a MUST. The rub that's on them is unlike any flavor I've had on wedges before. Dipped in their ranch makes for the perfect bite every time. I had to try a bite of my partner's burnt ends slider and that was EVEN BETTER. I'm a huge fan of fatty meat and this was just loaded with flavor. If I could try a slider with a piece of brisket and pork belly burnt end mixed, I'm pretty sure I would truly be at peace in life. By the time I was finished with my slider and wedges I was more than satisfied and full, however I had to find out what their smoked key lime pie was like. I'm not a key lime pie fan, but holy smokes this was an extremely delicious pie. The smoke, lime, and creaminess of the filling is the absolute perfect balance of flavor. The crust brings it all together to give you a subtle sweet flavor and bit of crunch throughout your whole bite. I truly could go on and on about this food and I definitely need to try every item on the menu in the future. The staff here is worth a whole other paragraph of positive words. Immediately being greeted by friendly voices who seemed happy that we were there was very comforting. Excellent counter service when taking our order and even came back out multiple times to check on how we were doing! Absolutely beautiful vibe and chill music on, highly recommend for a quick bite or a nice dinner!! Grateful I found this place!“
“Absolutely OUTSTANDING BBQ food. Got the chance to chat at length with the owner (Sam) who's an absolute wealth of information on BBQ. The ribs were tender and sweet, with some nice acidity. The coleslaw is an incredible pairing with the ribs. The baked beans are the best I've ever had in my life, hands down. If you love BBQ you need to visit dinner bell.“
“Go out of your way to visit this cart! Their food is so fresh, delicious, creative, and the staff is super kind. They have some great seasonal fish sandwiches, their potatoes are delicious, and they have a great vibe. They have a really cool red food cart and they are in Hinterland, which is awesome.“
“Brian and the crew at MDBBQ delivered outstanding food for our daughter's wedding, in a blizzard in the gorge! Everyone raved about the food, and we had enough leftovers to help feed our guests who got stuck at the hotel for 2 days! Hire them! You won't regret it! We had the smoked chicken, pulled pork, beans, green salad, mac n' cheese, and deviled eggs for 110 guests. PHENOMENAL!!“
“We had the Boston waffle with PB&J, bananas, and whipped cream. It was delicious and the perfect size as a dessert for two people. Fluffy and light, and just filling enough. The covered portion of the patio was cozy on a rainy winter's day, while still giving a fun food cart vibe. Highly recommend.“
“This place was amazing! Not only was the food bomb but the customer service was top tier. We were visiting from out of town and got there early. They let us come in 15 min before opening so we could get out the rain and cold. I’ll definitely be back when in Oregon again.“
“We parked in a nearby lot on SE 11th Ave & SE Madison St ($3/hr) instead of trying to find street parking. It was pouring rain on a Wednesday at 1pm in February and the carts were still open. It wasn't busy at all. There was seating near the fire pit or more seating in the back with heat lamps! We ordered a vegan club from Smaaken Waffle Sandwiches that was very good. It took a while for the order and they didn't give me a buzzer. We also got mac & cheese from Le Bistro Montage Ala Cart. There are 2 bathrooms (no code needed). I was surprised that they were actually pretty clean. Definitely would recommend coming to show friends around.“
“I drive from Gresham for this catfish. Reminds me exactly of how my dad used to make it. My friend had the pork and said it was also very good. Delish Mac and cheese as well.Food cart plaza can get chili, bring a coat. Black owned and operated ✊?“
“This is the best BBQ joint that in town.The food is amazing!Their Slaw is hearty, the Mac and Cheese is delicious, and sprinkled with crispy cheese bits.I like the 2 meat platter (Bunt ends, and ribs),It all f'in incredible.Eat here! You wont regret it.I may get the names wrong, But Nick and Jen and pretty awesome people too. Thanks for keeping me well fed.??✌?“
“Mighty Moe's Tanker is such a beautiful little spot! It's a little small, but even when I have seen it packed out, it wasn't uncomfortable at all! People are respectful, bartenders are darling, and the owner Moe is such a gem! It is all family vibe! I started regularly going when I was going through a super hard time and they were my safe space and comforting support! ?“
“it is in the heart of downtown a couple blocks from Powell Books in the beginning of the park block the most important it is clean and it's a good diversity of food cart they even have a double decker bus that serve coffee in the morning and beer and wine in the evening plenty of seating outside looking at the park block.“
“I mean...what can I say that hasn't already been said? Solid food, great service, and located in the Mississippi District! I have been slowly working my way through their menu and have not been disappointed yet. At this point, I doubt I will. Plus, they now serve Boiled Peanuts!!!!!!!!!!!!“
“This place is amazing! Such a good selection and no competing carts. Every one has individual dishes and origins. The outdoor dining is picnic style but also has some cool features like a boat to sit in and we'll fed cats to love on. If I could give them a 6th star for having cats I would. I had a Doner Kebab, kids had grilled cheese and my wife had fish and chips all in one stop and our kids were occupied by the cats. It is the perfect place for a family looking to have a lot of food options but still share a meal. There is also indoor heated seating if the weather is not ideal!“
“I'm so glad my husband and I stumbled upon this mom and pop restaurant. I was craving for wonton soup and saw this place on the way home and decided to try and have early dinner here. The place is small with few tables but it's very clean and a nice friendly staff greet us by the door. We ordered wonton and dumpling soup, pork BBQ steam bun, pork roast and pork BBQ combination rice plate, roast duck and beef brisket combination dry noodles. The food reminded me of my father's cooking, since he passed away I've been missing him so much and these food just reminds me of him. The food we ordered tasted like a home cooked meal. My father was a great cook and his love language was cooking for his family and the food here reminds me of him, like a warm hug. Thank you for this experience, the food here not only feed my hunger but also feed my heart. I will definitely return here. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for an authentic Chinese BBQ and noodle place.“
“I've heard a lot about Landmark. It's the type of place your boyfriend's Dad calls you about when he sees that his sons's shared location is there. You know, because one time he went there, or maybe it reminds him of something... or, maybe this place is about connection. Maybe that's why I've heard about it... or maybe it's the drinks? I don't know...But, what if it is about connection? About talking to the person you came with, thinking about picking up that phone call when you'd usually hit ignore on a Saturday night, or maybe just remembering a moment when you were absolutely happy to hear a live band play something you've never heard on the radio...You know, the radio... that thing people always listened to on their commute to somewhere...“
“Outside seating was perfect for the 65 degree weather. The food was absolutely delicious. We got the burnt ends deviled eggs, happy hour ribs (a little dry) and the happy hour Mac and cheese bowl. The Mac and cheese bowl was amazing, perfect amount of cheese, not greasy or oily, delicious pulled pork and the crushed chips on top were well suited for the dish. Definitely recommend.Parking: Great location in the heart of town so we walked. Looked like there was plenty of on street parking on the same block if not around the side streetsKid-friendliness: Kids welcome, bar feel and outdoor seating was spacious“
“This is a culinary gem! From the vibrant ambiance to the mouthwatering barbecue, every aspect of our dining experience was top-notch. The owner couples were friendly and attentive. So happy for them as their business is growing bigger. Parking was convenient. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic Korean cuisine!“
“The eggplant melted in my mouth. I recommend the scallops, oysters, scallions, chicken hearts and cauliflower. I will have to go back to try it all. The flavors were fantastic! Friends live in the neighborhood and they say they have been going once a week.“
“I wish we didn’t have to use QR codes to order. I’m trying to get off my phone and one of the main things I do is don’t have it during meal times so I had to go back to my car for my phone just so I could see a menu and order. The food was delicious, the Mac and cheese leaves something to be desired, it’s very bland but the meat is really really good and so is the chili.“
“We had J&L cater our 130 person wedding with two choices of Meats and 3 sides. The whole process with them went so smoothly, they delivered our food timely and we received TONS of great reviews on the food. Their catfish was AMAZING and the corn bread and green beans with bacon were a hit. If I ever had to do another large event they will be number one choice. thank you guys so much for taking our wedding to the next level! Taylor and James Roberts“
“Greetings,Finally got to try this place out and it was delicious ?.Got the Pulled Pork Sandwich and fries. The sandwich was excellent and definitely will ask for more BBQ sauce next time. The fries were well seasoned and not greasy. Would definitely get again.Customer service was well done and food came in a timely manner ?.Great job all around!“
“Used them for our work Christmas party food and it was pretty awesome. Pulled pork was great ribs were awesome and some of the best corn bread I've ever had (it was sweet and dense) the hickory bbq was great and the Carolina bbq sauce was pretty dang good, also beans an collared greens were awesome. Overall I'd check there food truck out“
“You don't come here for the gourmet dining experience, the exceptional service, or the pleasing aesthetic (dead ducks and a pig head are visible). No. It's the inexpensive yet not not cheaply made comfort food that consistently satisfy. This is a true hidden gem of Portland.“
“This is my preferred AYCE kbbq spot, the menu has more variety compared to places like Kkoki. Service is pretty consistent, not the best but not bad. I do feel like they start to get stingy & come around a lot less after we order anymore than like 3 rounds. Place is cool, very loud, K-pop music playing in the background, people chatting, grills sizzling. Great place for hanging out with friends & drinking a little too much soju. This location is my preferred over their sister location in Beaverton as well, we tried the one in Beaverton once & lord our server must've been having a bad day because they gave us the nastiest attitude & barely checked on us. We had to ask other servers for help.Make sure to always get a grill change before your next round.“
“This is my son's favorite weekly go to. The food is consistent- grilled chicken is delicious, the nac salad is fresh, and you can grab extra sauce for your takeout. Staff is always friendly. The dining room is small and fairly basic. Better if you can sit outside by the "lake".Parking: Parking is a small lot and shared with another restaurant. The office building next-door has a larger parking lot but is fairly full during business hours.“
“Amazing catering experience. Super great Hawaiian cuisine and the delivery & set up(customer service) was exceptional. BTW, the sauces are super good! If your looking to host a party, don’t miss out on what the Local Grind has to offer.“
“Secret gem of old turned new SE Portland. The Tanker turned Mighty Moes Tanker! If you want a spot where you can dance without judgment, have an amazing snack...(sometimes the most baller secret jambalaya) BBQ season permitting and the best owner who works his ass off everyday to be a contributor to the community, then this is your spot!“
“Came here as group of us were doing a art walk on Alberta street, was craving for some meaty food, stopped by this spot where there were few other food trucks, mind you Portland is known for food trucks as I discovered, we ordered bbq ribs that came with the potato salad And greens and , chicken wings. Mind you, I have never seen my fiancé finishing potato salad when we've ordered in the past from other place, which he did so there must be something good about this place , he liked the collard greens, meat was cooked well, I just thought it was little too much bbq sauce, meat kinda somewhat seemed like they were swimming in the sauce as I don't really like having that much sauce on the meat but however I liked the meat itself. We were definitely full and satisfied after. I would go back again.“
“I love du’s but I feel it’s falling off. They’ve been out of spicy chicken for weeks now, fountain machine hasn’t worked for ages, drink cooler just about empty, inside is dirty and dusty. Prices have doubled in the last 6 years and the wait seems to get longer every time I go despite time of day.Edit: went back today 3/22/24 was told they had spicy chicken back so I ordered it to go and paid, when I open the bag to eat lunch it was regular chicken. What am I tipping for?“
“I grew up eating Texas BBQ and I can confirm this place is authentic. It’s one of the only local BBQ places I will eat at, and it’s my top choice. The only thing they could improve on is if they offered fried okra as a side! I recommend the fries as a substitute, but it’s just not the same.“
“I do pest and wildlife control, so I was working out in the cold all day today and came in here on a whim.The food was amazing, the bbq sauce selection was fantastic, their seasonal Carmel apple cider was great.My server was attentive and friendly.Overall recommend this place for when you need a hearty, warm, meal.“
“This has honestly been a go-to spot for me and my family for a couple months now, and my entire family loves their food. My favorite plate from Aloha Grill would be the Big Elema. It comes with teriyaki chicken and katsu chicken, and with two scoops of rice and 1 scoop of Mac. Sauce recommendation would be their spicy mayo and katsu sauces! Hope you enjoy the food because it's amazing.“
“We absolutely love coming here!! The food is phenomenal and we honestly think it's better than Matt's, staff is friendly, very spacious dining area, and reasonably priced! We don't live super close to Beaverton, but we do go there frequently just for their food!!“
“Me and my partner love coming here! The staff are always super helpful and friendly and of course the food never disappoints. You can also order so many of the dishes vegetarian. It is honestly a hidden gem in Portland, especially among the vegan/veggie community. There is something on the menu for everyone! Check it out, you won’t be disappointed!“
“The food was excellent and very tasty. The serving portions were larger than other Thai resturants. Amy, our waitress / hostess was amazing very polite and accomodating to some of our family members vegetarian requests. Loved the experience. Highly recommend you try it.“
“Nice atmosphere and good food. The main thing for me and why I’m leaving a 5* review is the bartender sunny “not sure if that’s the spelling” was very personable and made me feel very at home/welcome. Great service, nice food and drink. What more can you ask for?“
“We had a great experience here - a modern rustic feeling when walking inside!Everyone we interacted with was kind and helpful and wanted us to have a good experience!The food was incredible - everyone in my party ordered the tri-tip sandwich and it was so delicious and Smokey and tender!Make sure you get some cornbread, too!!“
