Great little spot in the food truck village at SE Division & 38th. They have a dozen or so dishes, with several clearly labeled vegan options. We ordered:
-LaPhet Thoke (tea leaf salad) ($15)
-Chickpea Tofu Thoke ($15)
-Tofu Hinn (tofu curry) ($17)
-Tofu Khao Sweh Thoke (tofu noodle salad) ($15)
The classic dishes -- the tea leaf salad and chickpea tofu salad -- were the clear stand-outs, as usual in Burmese cuisine. The tea leaf salad was intensely flavoured, with wonderfuly crunchy textures. The chickpea tofu in the tofu thoke was also fantastic, with a perfectly seasoned dressing. The tofu curry and tofu noodle salad were also quite tasty, but milder and less titillating, but still very well-made.
Portions a bit on the small side, but that's usually what you get at food trucks. Friendly service -- budget some time for the food to come out, but it's worth it.
Another great vegan-friendly Burmese spot in Portland. read more
