“The best Indian food I’ve ever had and by far the best in Portland. The quality is consistent and the service is fantastic, everyone that works there is so nice and they let you order over text message. My favorite dishes are the butter chicken, daal tadka, vegetable samosa and the garlic naan.“

“This was my first time in Portland and I had heard about the phenomenal food truck culture in the city. This one was my absolute favorite of them all!
Kafta house is a “Mom & Pop” owned food truck offering middle eastern/Mediterranean cuisine. The owners are very warm people and treat their customers like family who have come over for dinner.
I had the lamb gyros with fries. The lamb meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned tastefully, as were the fries. I’ve eaten many gyros in my life, but have to say this one was my favorite.
The cardamom chai was the perfect ending to a great meal. Thank you to the owners for the most memorable dining experience during my stay in Portland! I wish this food truck existed in the city where I live. I will stop by again if I come back to Portland.“

“Loved the convenience and it was nice that they have a little bar with happy hour. The pad Thai from Little Thai Peacock was delicious. I was disappointed with the shrimp dumplings from Shanghai’s best plus the server was extremely rude to me.“

“This is our favorite food truck area. My partner and I both love Mole Mole, especially. So many options for vegans! Also, the price/value of portions at all places we’ve tried is great. Lots of seating but it gets very busy at typical meal times.“

“Great selection of food from the resident food trucks and a great rotating tap list at the bar. Perfect spot for a quick bite to eat and beverage prior to heading to the the Moda Center. Bonus: Order from the bar and any or all of the food trucks from your phone through their great online ordering system! Very convenient and didn't have to wait in a single line. 😀“

“I can't go anywhere at The Heist food cart pod except for Namo Buddha Himalayan. The #4 Chicken Curry is the best dish ever. Delicious chicken and chickpeas in a fantastic red curry sauce. Healthy and full of flavor but not spicy. I keep trying to try another cart and always end up at Namo Buddha Himalayan. Yum.“

“Wow! Honestly, best tacos we’ve had in PDX. Great service and fresh ingredients. We had the taco plate, with asada - the asada was crispy and flavorful. The tortillas were handmade! Rice and beans were good as well. We also tried the tacos dorados with potato. They were nice and warm, crunchy, everything was just great!!!“

“Though it has less options than the Hawthorne Asylum nearby, I would say this was my favorite food cart pod. The seating is all very nice and well cared for, and the food is impressive with a variety of high-quality options that also just have the cutest theming.“

“This is a great food cart pod area. There is a fantastic variety of different options. The layout is also really great. It has tables and chairs and areas for dogs. What I especially love is that there is a coffee cart which is superb. I highly recommend the Bite on Belmont. It is a great setting.“

“We stopped here while visiting from Chicago. We do not have food cart pods like this at home and I love the concept. This particular pod was among the two best that we visited. We had beer and Indian food and both were above average. I particularly liked the DIY, unpretentious demeanor of the eating space. It had less infrastructure than other pods but for me that was even better, in terms of staying true to the original concept and controlling costs. I just felt at home. Keep it up!“

“My aunt Patty asked me to write this review for her. She informed me she had met her brother and her family there for lunch that were traveling here from Burma. They hadn't seen each other in many years. Patty told me that the food reminded her of her mother's food. She told me that Mo is a very nice lady and she recommended any one who loves Burmese food to try it out .“

“Very nice family friendly place with with lots of good food“
“This is a great little hideaway to have a few drinks.Listen to some music.Maybe even watch a football game. And get sea food, make sure you stop in and say, hello, get some food and drink“
“I really enjoyed this pod! There are 8+ different places to eat and the food here is wonderful. My wife and I personally tried , "flew the coop" and "La Arepa" and both had great service and the food was delicious. The attached brewery had an amazing selection of beers. The only detractor was that there was A Lot of very hoppy beers. That is a personal preference though. The Beer I did have was delicious. It's very family friendly and I enjoyed it.“

“Its an indoor food pod attached to a brew pub. Overpriced, but lots of decent food options.
The Mexican food is especially good. Eay above average for Portland.
The cuban sandwich was also good, and its huge.
Its right down the street from the pickles stadium, so not a bad option for Pickles pregame.“

“Awesome empanadas! Loved spinach, ham & cheese and hot chicken!“
“I live very close to this place and I love a few of these food carts specifically the chicken and jo jo truck there special jo jos are amazing and there secret batter is the best crispy and perfect mix of seasonings not to salty and then perfect size cut potato wedges not to much potato that it makes it to much to the point you are not able to even enjoy the battered coating this is perfect am need buttery goodness they are deep-fried but amazing you can get a full order or a half order and then the choices of chicken strips or sandwiches you can choose from are very creative and you will not find anything like this anywhere else don't forget there dipping sauce for the jo jos as well also very great and no other place will have it so you have to go to this one specifically to try them it's the food trucks on Powell and 35th between the dollars store and Chipotle the food carts are right between the two businesses and the chicken and jo jo truck is tricked away in back in the center of all the trucks you can't miss it“

“Wow. The Pad Thai Burger is so delicious. I gobbled my way through a massive burger filled with fresh, tasty toppings, a thick beef patty - hand formed and cooked to perfection. And then there is the salad! Side salads rarely spark my interest, but again, the ingredients were top notch and so lovingly arranged. The salad dressing is house made with a hint of sweetness a touch of spiciness and a dash of tart/vinegar all in perfect balance. My mouth, belly, and heart all feel nourished from this very well crafted meal. YUM ?“

“A few food trucks, but not as much variety as I had hoped. Some trucks offer the same type of food. We enjoyed the food, even though the fries were undercooked. Greek, Indian, Italian, and Mexican cuisine available, along with a sushi truck.“

“So far I've eaten at 3 out of 6 of the carts here (I'm including the Pour House in the count even though it's a bar).
Rollin' Fresh - Very good sushi with a twist (burrito style!)
Bajala - Excellent tacos, very fresh, with lots of flavor. (Separate review on their google maps entry)
Village Kitchen - so far my favorite Burmese food in the Northwest district and there something like 4 other Burmese restaurants.
I'll get to the rest soon enough.“

“Two words - Duck Curry! Omg this was so delicious. The red curry was incredible, one of the best we have ever had. The duck was cooked perfectly and I loved the grapes and pineapple in the sauce, I didn't think they would work but they sure did. The rice that came with it was also perfection. Cannot wait to come back and try more of their dishes!“

“Fabulous venue although I will not be returning as trivia night on Wednesdays has been eliminated. This was my go to place every Wednesday. My happy place, my keep my brain intact, challenge my rivals and see familiar faces place. I'm sad you made this choice, I hope you make better ones next time.“
“Great carts, lots of options, and love the beer mostly. Conscious Sedation has a good beer selection, live music, and plenty of covered seating.
The food pod is not well managed and and stuff is half open and businesses come and go.“

“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.“
“Never written a review before but gotta share that this was super good. Honestly better than it needed to be and I’m thrilled about. I had the kalbi chicken with Mac. The dish was simple, no frills, but the cook on the chicken was excellent. The flavor was delish. Even the rice was perfect.
Thanks so much.“
“Always great quality health drinks and salads - you can taste the freshness. The owner is very knowledgeable about what could benefit you and is always friendly. Some days I come here just for a sweet and healthy drink other days I come here to get something to boost my immunity or energy. Wonderful place! Thank you!“
“This place is so cool! You're just strolling along, minding your own business when suddenly BAM! Food! It's an entire block of different ethnic food. Mostly Mediterranean, but plenty of other places too. Gyros, shawarma, Mexican, cajun and more, all wrapped around an empty parking lot. Come hungry!“
“I had the Raconteur, with its melty brie and Swiss combined with blue cheese and blackberry preserve it was the perfect combination of savory and a touch of sweet. Absolutely divine. I also got the tomato soup to sip on too and I thought it was delicious. Definitely will be back!“
