A decent option if you are curious to sample Burmese cuisine inside a bustling food cart pod, but the depth of flavor didn't quite match what I expected. Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup (2/5): At $15, this bowl was fairly disappointing. The menu photo showcases a much more generous protein portion, including two whole eggs and hearty chicken chunks, which was not what I actually received. Despite being described as a rich and creamy broth, the soup itself felt quite thin. On the positive side, the noodles had a great, satisfying chew, but their flavor profile leaned plain against the lighter broth. Logistics Tip: Located inside the Hawthorne Asylum food cart pod, dedicated on-site parking is scarce, but safe and accessible street parking can easily be found in nearly any direction in the surrounding area. Orders are assigned a buzzer pager, allowing you to wander the area while your food is prepared. read more

I tried their coconut chicken noodle soup and the Burmese tea hot and over ice. It was the first food truck that we ordered from but the last one to come out with our food and drinks. The picture shows a couple eggs in the soup, but we only got a quarter of one egg, but the soup itself tasted really really good and it was perfect because it was raining and it was good for the weather that we were in. read more

This restaurant is located in a very cute food cart spot with a plethora of other food carts . The enclosed space has a large bench at the center for seating and parking is on the street. Service was very friendly and helpful. I appreciated the care that went into my food. We ordered Shan Noodle Salad - 10/10 would order again. I liked the tanginess, I like that the noodles were thin and there was a nice crunch to every bite tea leaf salad - this was a very refreshing salad and honestly more filling than I expected with all the nuts it had. We did not need to squeeze the lime because the dressing itself was tangy enough, and the owner warned us about this as well. So thoughtful! potato and beef curry - this was okay as the beef was pretty tough and dry for us but the coconut rice was quite good. Bd noodle salad - this was just okay, I didn't love how soft the noodles were as I most often would prefer el dente noodles whenever possible. To be fair, we ordered to-go so it may be different if you ate it right away. I also felt the noodle flavor was much lighter than the others Milk tea - hit the spot and was thirst quenching. I only wish the cup was bigger! read more

We tried the tea leaf salads from Burmese Delight. For a food truck, the flavors were pretty good -- fresh and satisfying. However, the price felt a bit high for what we got. Decent experience overall, but not sure I'd go out of my way for it again. read more

Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 5/5 I actually saw this food cart featured in a Mike Chen video, so my bf and I decided to give it a try and it was really good! We originally wanted to try the beef and potato curry, but they were out, so we went with the chicken as an alternative. The dish itself was simple, with just chicken, potatoes, curry sauce, and paratha but it was packed with flavor. The curry's rich taste paired with the tenderness of the chicken was unlike anything I've had before tasted very hearty. To enjoy it, I shredded some chicken and added it to the paratha, along with a little bit of pickled daikon radish and carrot. It made for the perfect bite, as the pickled veggies balanced out the richness. I'll definitely be back to try the beef curry and will continue to keep this spot in mind whenever I'm nearby, good comfort food overall was very satisfied! read more

Burmese food from a food cart with about 12 options to pick from. I tried their beef curry. It was flavorful having big chunks of beef and potatoes. I got it with their bread. I actually liked it and it's a decent sized portion. $17.5 Also, tried their coconut chicken soup. I thought it was decent but, would probably not order again. Portion could be a bit bigger for this dish. Prices for entrees are around $15-18 range which is average at this time. Workers were friendly. read more

It's been a while since I've had Burmese food, so I was excited to see Burmese Delight in the little food court. I had a hard time deciding between the chicken samosas, the Shan noodle salad, and the tea leaf salad, but I ended up choosing the tea leaf salad. Unfortunately, this tea leaf salad did not hit the spot. It mostly tasted like fish sauce and sesame oil. I've also never seen corn in this dish when I've had it at other places, and I didn't really care for it. The salad was pretty oily, which is usually fine, but the staff was a bit stingy with napkins and only gave me one, so it was hard to eat cleanly. Maybe I would've had a better experience with the Shan noodle salad or the samosas, but I'm not sure if I'm open to giving this place another chance. read more

I don't know anything about their food. That's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. However, I tried their Burmese ice tea and it is addicting, to say the least. Needless to say, if Im ever in the area again, I'd stop by for that tea. The lady at the front was also sweet. Don't have any pictures here but it's in a small cup so I got two of them :) (Enjoyed the second cup the next day) read more

Wow, I am beyond happy to find this spot, I have not had Burmese food since I was in the Bay area and this did not disappoint. If you have never tried get a tea salad and anything else, I got chicken noodle soup and this and everything is 10/10 delicious as I was hoping, I will definitely be back to try more. read more

Great food truck in a food truck village. They have maybe a dozen dishes, with clearly marked vegan items, including classic Burmese dishes like a tea leaf salad and Burmese chickpea tofu. We split an order of each, plus a Burmese noodle salad. (Each dish was $12.) The food took a little while to be ready but it was worth the wait. Every dish was fantastic, especially the two classic dishes: wonderfully integrated flavours and textures. Reasonable portions for the price. Fantastic spot. read more

I'm always surprised I haven't reviewed a place when I've been there more than once. The tea leaf salad I had in the past was super hearty with a nice range of textures. I tried the shan noodle salad recently which was quite tasty. I enjoyed the subtle complexity of the dish. It definitely benefited from the hot oil to round out the bright flavors. The noodles were slightly warm with the perfect chew which was lovely on a cold evening. read more

Was in town on a day trip to Portland and was craving some Burmese food. I found this food truck listing on Google and I'm so glad I did. The prices are very reasonable for a generous serving of food. My go to dish, the fermented tea leaf salad did not disappoint. It was bright, acidic, and vibrant and with a nice crunch from the peanuts and sunflower seeds. The dish paired well with piping hot and crispy vegan samosas with sweet chili sauce. The service was great. Definitely a new favorite! read more

Burmese Delight is well named. They are serving up some delicious food! I had never had Burmese food. I love Indonesian, Korean, Filipino, Laotian & of course Japanese, Chinese & Thai. I had the pork with tea leaves & potato served with coconut rice. Wow! Best coconut rice I've ever had in my life! And how did they make meat & potatoes taste so good?? Even my dad who has a very basic American food palate would have liked what they do with this dish! My teenage daughter tried it & asked to switch dishes with me (she had gotten food from another food truck). I told her nope! She ended up ordering her own & we went back the next day to pick up the same exact order for our plane ride home. That's how much we like it! Can't wait to visit Portland again, will DEF be eating at Burmese Delight on my next trip! read more

WOW Hawthorne Asylum was so so busy on a Sunday afternoon at 3!! I decided on Burmese Delight to try some unique Burmese food. I got the Shan Noodle Salad. The noodles were delicious! A sorta pad Thai-y tasting rice noodle dish with lots of veggies in it. It was sweet and sour and so so satisfying. The portion was very sizable for $10! I also got the Samusar/samosa side which is fried with curry/potatoes inside ($6 for 4) - very tasty and great value. Would highly recommend if you're at the Hawthorne Asylum food trucks! Great value for taste! read more

This truck suffered from a little Portlandization of Burmese flavors, that is to say, the muting of them. My bowl of coconut noodle soup was perfectly serviceable and warm, but nothing particularly standout about it. Pretty tomatoey for a coconut based soup, no discernable fish sauce, with fall-apart noodles. But again, it was tasty enough, if not what I was expecting. Another day I came back to try their special banana cake, which I subsequently took on a hike and which nourished me just as a granola bar would. read more

When I ordered the beef and potato curry I was worried since the chunks are so big I wouldn't be able to eat it without looking like an animal. But the meat fell apart and was SO GOOD. Super quick and the lady was super nice. I can't recommend enough read more

I give this place 10 stars. I only ate one bowl of noodles, and it was enough to tell. I could eat this everyday. It's my first time eating Burmese food. We got the Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup. Holy cow! This blew my mind. The soup is not as red as the photo. It has egg noodle not thin, not thick. Little bits of chicken, cilantro, creamy soup, add dry chili flakes and lime juice. You must try this! read more

Burmese delight is one of our go to spots! Chicken potato curry with paratha and a traditional tea leaf salad always hits the spot!

Got a chance to check out the Hawthorn Food pod today, and was immediately drawn to this food truck. I got the "Chickpea Tofu Salad" and it was great! Hand crafted pieces of chickpea shaped liked tofu went really well with the other fresh elements on the salad. Also got an appetizer and it was also great! Ayè, the owner I believe was super sweet & friendly! read more

Don't be deceived because this is a food truck, this place is simply the best Burmese food in Portland hands down! There are other Burmese restaurants in the area but this one is the most authentic.

Stoped in this pod Looking for something else and ordered when my first choice was not there. Lucky me. I ordered the Shan soup, one mild and the other spices. This is their version of chicken noodle soup. Best version yet. The food came quickly. The service was friendly and quick. The soup had great flavor. Having peanuts added as a treat. I would get the mild next time. It was not too spicy, but I think the flavor of the mild version was better. In any event, this was a great fine. Yes, it exceeded expectations and I intend to explore the menu again. Try it. read more

I moved here from the Bay Area about 4 months ago and have had a hard time finding good Asian food!! So far, I've found the Asian food here to be on the bland side and "spicy" to not actually be spicy at all because they tend to cater to the majority. This place does such a good job of keeping the robust, hearty, comforting flavors in their dishes without being overpowering. I ordered the Tofu Noodle Salad. It was so good! I loved the texture of the noodles and there was a crunch from some ingredient that I couldn't get enough of. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes off the menu. read more

I was curious to check this cart out and was not disappointed. The challenge was trying to figure out what to order. I ended up getting the #2 Beef and Potato Curry with the paratha (flat bread). The meal was very flavorful with the beef being very tender. It reminds me of the beef stew my mom makes, just not as soupy, but dry. The potatoes were also easy to eat and had the flavor of the meat soaked in it. The paratha was a good touch. The only thing I would like to see is that there be less grease/oil on the food, other than that it was a pretty good meal. read more

Ordered the green tea leaf salad and the green tea leaf salad roll. I love Burmese green tea leaf salads, which are usually really difficult to find! This place makes them well so I would recommend! The salad itself was quite spicy though so if you can't tolerate spicy, I would recommend asking them if they can me it non-spicy. The portion is quite large which is good, and the salad is tasty. You can't really taste the tea leaf, but it has a distinct roasted flavor. What I love about the salad is that it has a lot of different ingredients that are crunchy such as peanuts, tomato, cabbage, and sesame seeds. It's a pretty flavorful salad, so make sure you have a drink with you! If you've never tried Burmese food, I would recommend this salad! Service: the people at this food cart were extremely nice. They gave us some samples of the banana cake, which is also quite delicious! It tastes like banana bread but with a chewier, gelatin like texture. Interior: this food card is located in a fairly new food cart location. It's next to stalls with drink from many different cultures. I recommend trying a bit of food from each stall! Seating is communal in the center of the food carts. There is a fireplace to keep warm if you come here at night! It's all outdoors. So don't come in the rain, unless you order for takeout! read more
