Best authentic papaya and cucumber salad in town! I’ll drive all across town to get it! Oh yeah everything else is amazing too. The family that runs this is place is so friendly and warm. They are invaluable to our community.

White Elephant catered for our wedding, and not only was their food amazing but the WE team was the best! Even after our wedding, many of our guests are still raving to us about it being the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. The food was beautiful and so thoughtfully presented! We had mango sticky rice, Thai tea, and Ube-BAE for our dessert and refreshments and they were a hit!

Jen was so sweet and extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. We had some vegan/vegetarian guests and she was able to accommodate all of our requests. She was always quick to respond when I had any questions and her thoroughness was one of the deciding factors when I chose White Elephant to be our caterer. Her team was also wonderful on the day of. One of the servers offered to make a plate for my husband and me so we didn’t have to go grab them ourselves and they were checking on us the entire evening to make sure we were taken care of.

I highly recommend the WE team for any weddings or events or even if you’re not in need of a caterer, then definitely stop by for Jen’s delicious food!

Hands down best lao food cart in Portland! I’ve been to many Lao places in Portland but this one is my fave. The papaya salad is always on point, the right amount of pa dek and spicyness. Their signature chicken feet and salmon belly is so flavorful and a must try! Highly recommend!

Completely satisfied my Lao food cravings in Portland! It was so damn good, we literally ate everything but it was spicy! The jerky was a little salty but the flavors were amazing! You cannot go wrong with their food. Top notch and good size portions!

I ordered take out from here. I put "Mild" for spice level and emphasized it in the notes. I got my food and it was inedible. The spice was the complete opposite of mild. There were actual pepper seeds sprinkled over the top. I called the restaurant to see if they would make it right. The woman I spoke to said "just ask for a refund from whatever site you ordered from." And hung up. Did not offer to fix their mistake...meanwhile my dinner was ruined and I could not eat it. No one in my household could stomach eating how spicy it was. It would have been an easy fix. I ordered via Postmates, so I contacted them and they wouldn't refund me either. They said it was up to the restaurant to make it right...and you can see how helpful they were in that regard. I was very disappointed in the level of service and quality of the food. If they had offered to remake it, I would have given this place a second chance. Now I will never go back thanks to this experience.

I love the Portland food truck experience in general, but this one absolutely takes the cake! Easily the best vegan meal I've had in my 3 years exploring vegan options in this amazing food town! The owners are kind and super friendly, too!

Vegetarian options: I eat vegan, and there are several fantastic options! The Peanut Sauce Tofu was mind-blowing!

I ordered Lemongrass Chicken with extra broccoli. Dish with tip was $20. Basically it was white rice, tough flavorless chicken, carrots over steamed and good thing I ordered extra broccoli because otherwise I don’t think any broccoli would have been in the dish.

It's been long overdue for me to write a review here. Best Salmon belly in town I always crave it!!! I'm craving it as I type this. It's crispy, loaded, packed with umami and even comes with some veggies and rice for the perfect bite. The laos dipping sauce is also essential for it. Some other honorable mentions are: Laotion beef jerky, waterfall steak, nam khao and the salt and pepper shrimp and squid. OOH and you can't forget the beignets with all the dipping sauces for a savory dessert or of course, the classic mango sticky rice that you can have customized with different flavored sticky rice. Wash it down with one of their refreshing beverages, thai iced tea, iced ube, and green tea thai tea and so much more.
