“Gof månnge’ na nengkanno’ gi Chochu Local! Dånkolo Si Yu’os Ma’åse!“

“The lime sauce on their crispy chicken bento is absolute perfection, as is everything on their menu. Been eating here a long time and will continue to do so <3“

“One of the best gyro platters in town. It was delicious ! Super fresh and flavorful ingredients. The staff was very kind and friendly. Everything was top in my opinion. The only issue was the outdoor seating area, which felt uncomfortable due to people yelling nearby. I’d recommend takeout instead.“

“My husband and I had heard great things about this cart, so we came and got a ton of food to give it a try. We are so glad we did! The word of mouth is absolutely correct. The food was fresh, delicious, and perfectly spiced. Plus the portions are very generous. Our stand outs: chicken biryani, lamb curry, and veggie pakoras. The biryani may be one of the best I’ve had anywhere, we both had to throw away our spoons to stop eating it. The lamb is tender and the curry flavor is deep and rich and flavorful. The pakoras are more substantial than others I’ve had, but they had great flavor and I loved the coriander chutney they came with. This cart is a gem and I can’t wait to go back for more!“

“I hate to put this here because you reading this means I wait longer next time I order.... Alas, credit where it is due. Rightfully so in my top three burger places in PDX. My top place for smash burgers. B.Y.H. was but the prices and longer wait times drove me away. Life hack: walk up and order. Then, walk across the street and get an iced awesomeness, or hit the Oakshire up for an adult bevie while you wait. When the brick and mortar is open, I am sure the wait times will drop. Still though, don't forget their neighbors for dessert or nightcaps.“

“Excellent made from scratch menu.“

“I highly recommend the yellow curry soup ....it is delicious and has a nice bite! Pad Thai was awesome too!“

“This cart is awesome and has good food! I havetried their Chicken Tacos ( with everything ), Veggie Burritos ( with Xtra Cheese :) ) Bean & Cheese Burritos, Quesadilla (Chicken & Cheese Ones) and everything was YUMMY Delicious no lie! I am super picky too, so saying I love this cart is a BIG thing for me to say! Also come by to support LOCAL business rather than going to a big chain restaurant... They follow all COVID-19 Guidelines too! :)“

“I purchased lunch for my team at work and every one of us couldn’t get enough. To quote one person “it’s like a flavor party in my mouth!” Is an understatement. All of the flavors were perfectly paired, and not overpowering with one or the other. I can’t wait to get more!“

“I would recommend thai food truck. It won’t disappoint you. This is thai street food style very authentic. So yummy and the owner so friendly. อรอาหารอร่อยมากครับ แนะนำให้ไปอุดหนุนกันเยอะๆ เจ้าของร้านเป็นกันเองมากๆ ขอบคุณสำหรับอาหารไทยรสชาติเยี่ยมอร่อยๆ ครับ“

“Best (and maybe only) handpulled Chinese noodles in the Portland area. The taste is quite on point with the ones I came to love in Northern China.

The only problem is the close early sometimes and aren't open on weekends. If they were, we'd no doubt have gone countless more times.

The spice level is no joke. I like it spicy, but still feel the heat (wouldn't have it any other way).“

“This place is awesome. Great food and great service. Go try it out.“

“Beat tacos this side of the Mississippi!!!! No joke this taco place has the very best flavors and it’s meat are perfectly cooked! I totally recommend piñata takos!!!“

“Been coming here for years and their chicken shawarma still does it for me every time! I thought I wasn’t a big fan of shawarma but after eating here I realized that other places just don’t do it like these guys!! Ilias (probably spelling that wrong) is awesome and his service is great! Hope these guys stay in business forever.“

“Nice cart pod. Has covered seating and a)gas) fire pit. Seems very pet friendly which is probably a plus for some people and a minus for others. Not a ton of food carts but a very good variety. Matt's barbecue is pretty famous. Around town. Is also a brewery stall that's quite large. And it's a good neighborhood to walk around in window shop or shop-shop.“

“This gd coffee is so good. It’s smooth and delicious every time, and Benevolent is one of the only non-chain spots that offers sugar free syrups. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious (that sausage!!!) but best of all, everyone who works here is just cool as hell. I go from my little sugar-free coffee tree and always leave with a smile and a confidence boost. Love y’all!“

“Great food, atmosphere and awesome service. 😋💕“

“I highly recommend 🙏the food is amazing thank you for the sinaloense burrito 🌯 is so amazing 🙏🙏🙏“

“Long live Ooh Pasta! I got the #4 peanut sauce dish and my husband got the #1 clam dish, both were 10/10! Fresh, perfectly cooked ingredients, the most delicious sauces made fresh to order, and big portions for the price. We used to come here often when we lived in the area, moved out of state many years ago but still have to come eat here whenever we’re in town!“

“Best Gyro in town- no question. Friendly & inviting atmosphere with indoor seating option. Kids 12 and under eat free- 🤯 Affordable, delicious, and filling! 10/10 doesn’t feel good enough“

“Amazing little, literal, hole in the wall for some quickish eats. Food is fresh and on point and the staff is super friendly. What more is there? Highly recommend the Spicy Russian. The Pastrami is hard to beat at this price. $1 chips and sodas like the ole’ days. Do it!“

“It’s pretty good as taco trucks go“

“Delicious and all home made“

“The pupusas are delicious the OG is my favorite“

“The best burrito and fresh made chips still warm😋 I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu 😊“

“I absolutely love their Thai tea!!!! It’s Only $3 😛 Everything that my co workers have tried they all loved it. I get the same thing every day and can’t get enough. They’re family owned and the flavors are to delicious. Super polite service. I’ll be back when I’m in town. Thanks for all of the good food 😃“

“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!“

“This Food cart has the best wings around. Sweet and savory, crunchy and Flavorful. The Burgers are definitely different than anywhere I've had And amazing with cool city street choices! This is definitely a must go to spot! 10/10“

“What a fantastic little gem of an Asian food truck in downtown! My husband and I ordered the teriyaki chicken and chicken yakisoba. I was floored by the amount of food you get for $10! Everything was so flavorful and delicious! Service was excellent. I was impressed that the truck was only run by one man --- and he really slayed in that kitchen! We will definitely be returning here to try more dishes soon!“

“Just had a shredded chicken burrito delivered. Highly recommended. Excellent food. Looking forward to trying out the enchiladas. 👍“

“This is half of the roast beef mushroom and Swiss sandwich. The other half I ate before I get a chance to take a picture. Ever since I moved to this area I have frequent chunky subs, food cart and truly the owners are awesome. The food is hot fresh and delicious every single time you eat it. The owners are incredibly kind. The food is very generously priced and you get a lot for what you pay for. The food is delicious. The sandwiches are good. The tacos and burritos are good. Their hot Cheeto elote is amazing.

The only sandwich I haven’t tried is the Philly cheesesteak cause I lived in Philly for 10 years and I just don’t know if I have it in me to try. It’s not that I don’t trust them to make an amazing sandwich. It’s that I don’t know if it’s gonna taste like a real Philly cheesesteak and there’s something special about that greasy cheese whiz taste that you can only get while eating it off of a Wawa garbage can at 10:30 in the morning.“

“Great Pad Thai! Nice size portions for the $“

“In order to beat Enchanted Sun's breakfast burritos you have to get a passport, either drive or fly roughly 1,200 miles south, and then cross the border. The *only* complaint I have about Enchanted Sun is that they don't have a brick and mortar shop. I would love to be able to get their burritos on a weekday!“

“crab puffs are amazing! I have tried noodle. rice, and curry dishes.....all of them have been amazing. The veggies and chicken are always high quality. My coworkers and I order lunch from there on a regular basis. so good“

“I've had many delicious burritos here. My favorite is the carnitas. <$10, <10 minutes. You can call ahead. Cash or card, but bring some cash for tips. I live nearby and attend PSU, and it's one of the best quick take out places around. Maybe the best. ?“

“There's nothing better than having a hot dog after a morning walk through the park. The Polish sausage was worthy of being devoured. Had a blast adding my favorite condiments. Their lemonade was also cold and refreshing. I wish they had free refills.“

“Had the Chicken Shawarma, and wow, every bite tasted like it was made with real love and care. The sauces are rich and full of flavor, and the whole plate just hits the right spots. Exactly what I needed today. If you’re craving something genuinely delicious, look no further than Gyro Kingdom. They’re truly masters of their craft.“

“From what I was told by the individual working behind the counter, this little Hispanic restaurant has been there for over 18 years, and I can see why. If you want a really affordable filling Hispanic comfort food, then this is one of the shops locally I would strongly recommend. They're carne. Asada burrito is incredibly juicy while not oversaturated with grease, which is a Hallmark of good Hispanic food. We also provide a various forms of vegetarian options if that is your thing. The only downside is they are only open Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 3:00, yet. I guess it's never a good to have too much of a good thing 😁“

“Salmon chowder is spectacular. Amazing flavor depth with generous chunks of salmon.“

“These crepes are the best Portland has to offer! They offer savory and sweet, whatever fits your cravings. I miss living down the street from them because I ordered here all of the time. The owners are really cordial too. I cannot wait to come back to Portland just to have these crepes! Ten out of ten, would recommend!“

“By far my favorite coffee in Portland. They are so nice and there’s homemade tamales and the coffee is strong and flavorful. They knock the trendy coffee shops right out of the water. I literally count down the weekend until Monday when they open for the “

“100% reccomend. lamb shank was perfect. two entrees feed 4.“

“Best burgers around. Everything is homemade and the beef comes from the farm. So good!!“
