There's going to be a long wait, due to cooking your food fresh. But their food is really effing good. I was visiting from out of town, but I loved every single thing about their food. I got the spicy pork Bibim Box.. Was nice and spicy, along with super massive portions. The dish literally had more pork than rice. Props to this food truck. Will definitely be back whenever I come back to Portland.

The munchwrap sandwich is not only delicious but also showcases the owners' dedication to using fresh and locally sourced ingredients, making each bite a tasteful experience. Please support them and many other small businesses like theirs that prioritize community development in Portland.

I've been meaning to try this place since Jamie Loftis's book ranked their hot dog in the top five nationwide (plus I'm always looking for good Korean food). Sadly they were out of hot dogs but the taco special and kimchi fried rice were out of this world. The flavor combos on the tacos were genius and the fried rice was decadent. Everyone was super friendly, and the grill was working fast. New favorite food cart. I'll be back for the dog, and everything else on the menu!

This is an absolute Portland staple. Nowhere does your money go further. Bi bim box and kimchi fried rice and eat for four days. Plus you're getting one of the best versions of a bibimbap. Smoky umami goodness.

Very delicious!!! Please support them! They (and along with a lot of other small businesses) care a lot about the community and are choosing to invest in Portland when others are leaving.Downtown Portland even with all its issues is still a great and fun place, and Kim Jong Grillin and the rest of the carts at the Cart Blocks pod are doing great work.I highly recommend getting their off-menu item, but I won’t mention the name of it in this review because I don’t want them to stop offering it because of popularity

Such good Korean! Best bento situation! I was looking for a spot with Bulgogi and kinchi. This is it. The rice is also so good for eating with chopsticks. Love it!

We took advantage of a generous offer for a free meal to service industry workers whose income was affected by the ice storm last week. Had never eaten here before but the food was delicious and ready only 15-20 minutes after we placed our order via text. Ordered the bulgogi bibim box and it was the perfect amount of spicy and a very decent portion for the price. We will definitely be back!

Who doesn't want a Korean food truck in their neighborhood? Small portions just right for a midday snack. Galbi is good but with plain chopped lettuce. Hot Dog simply garnished with kimchee. What to expect: Street parking off of Division. If you want to dine under the carport eating tables are limited. Rice has been hit or miss. Food takes a bit of time so order ahead.

After having so many good things about this place, I had very high hopes from this food cart (?). I got the spicy pork bowl and it is safe to say it was pretty, nothing out of the world that would compel me to try them again. I went up to the counter to order, the person taking the order was quite friendly and I asked what their favorite dish was from the menu. "Our bulgogi is the most popular but the staff favorite is spicy pork." That is how I arrived at my decision to order the spicy pork dish trusting the word of the worker. The meat was well-cooked but the seasoning/sauce was so underwhelming. It seemed like it was just sriracha and nothing innovative on their part. I am not making this up but it literally tasted like grilled pork dipped in sriracha. Next, they have very limited seating. All the seats were already occupied and even though I had come with the intention of eating at their joint, I ended up eating in my car which added to the bad experience. I am not sure if I am willing to try another dish. The flavors were just missing. I would have given 2 stars to them but their service was good, hence bumping up to 3 stars.

My only complaint is that this food cart is closed half the time we want to get food from them! Their bi bim box is a great dinner and the whole house loves it.

Went here on Christmas Eve which you would expect most businesses would be closed and IF open, likely not the happiest customer service, but they did NOT disappoint. We will definitely be back. The whole family loved everything, and service was fast and friendly. Putting this on our list of favs!
