    Drunken Hot Wings

    Truly a hidden gem in Portland. I've been here countless times in the past year. It is honestly kind of out of the way for me but so worth the drive. I always get the steak & rice bowl or the spicy basil rice bowl - it is so comforting and hits the spot every time. Each portion lasts me two meals. My favorite food cart by far!

    Honeydew Bubble Tea with Boba

    Woweeee, I was craving bubble tea after work and searched Yelp for something nearby. I am SO glad i gave this place a try. My honeydew bubble tea with boba was BOMB. I also got the pad Thai burrito out of sheer curiosity and was I delightfully surprised... not only is it an amazing portion for $10.50 but it is so yummy and comes with two peanut sauces that changed the game. Don't pass this place by! The person I talked with was so nice, I assume she owned the place as she told me her husband is usually there with her, but either way she was great and had my food and drink ready FAST. I will be back :-)

    Food truck that I went too was closed, so saw this food truck open. The chefs or the owner was very friendly and kind. Service that is provided by this place is amazing. No word for the food it's delicious.

    Extremely fast service, delicious food, and I had enough leftover to take home! This food truck was affordable and I'd definitely come again.

    Spicy Basil Rice Bowl (this one is Mild). This is half, or one portion. Each box for take out has two portions in it.

    Earlier today, my Darling Husband (we've been married for 14 + years) and myself ordered take out at this Cha Ya Kitchen in Southeast Portland. I ordered the Spicy Basil Rice Bowl (it was Mild, which is what I ordered), and my Husband ordered the Broccoli Beef (he asked for Spicy). The portions are larger... and we have leftovers. We didn't order any cans or bottles of beverages. Although, I might pick up a can of Diet Coke during one of my future visits... because... it's too Warm in the Summertime now. If you've ever tasted Bimimbap (not the same taste.. because it's a different Asian food, you see) you'll probably like the flavors of the rice bowls at Cha Ya Kitchen. The first time I ordered the Southeast Asian Steak and Rice Bowl with a Diet Coke can. It was also tasty and made just right. There is Bubble Tea made here as well. And, you can order an Iced Milk Tea... if you prefer. The Milk Tea tastes like British Tea... when it's made with lots of Whole Milk or Creamer, and Sugar. I drank sips of my mother's tea after she let them go cold when I was growing up. She was born British, although she passed her Naturalization Test in the mid 1990s. She called it her "Cuppa." And, yes... my mother still speaks with a slight English accent. If you must know she sounds similar to the Queen. I've also ordered a "less sweet Milk tea " from Cha Ya Kitchen. I liked it. I have ordered this, a less sweet Milk Tea, at other cafes and restaurants before... I don't drink the whole thing if it's the larger size. We will be back soon. Thank you for making such taaasty foods.

    Quick food, large portions! Would eat here again. This food truck pod has a nice shaded area to sit down and eat.

    My go-to place for wonton soup. It's always made fresh and very delicious. Good and friendly customer service also.

    One day I didn't budget my time properly so I was looking for lunch that wasn't fast food that I…read morecould eat in the car. Fish and chips to the rescue. I got the cod. It had a panko crust which sometimes I prefer to batter. They were a little bit salty for my taste but ever since I got COVID lots of things have tasted salty so take that with a grain of salt I'm not a tartar sauce guy but this is some great sauce. I feel like later I got a piece of tarragon(?) out of my teeth and reminded me of the herby yummy sauce. I scoffed at first at the chips. Very non uniformly cut but surprisingly all well cooked. I don't know if it's they type of potato but the skin was really off putting. But solid toothsome chips that a splash of vinegar helps a lot. If I end up in a similar position again I'll definitely consider coming back.

    Friendly owners. Sizzling fresh food. Price was decent for a food cart serving seafood. I got the…read morelarge serving for $16 and that was a good choice. I came after a review I read on Eater for FoPo area eats. I'm not a huge fried food fan but this place was good. I got the Steelhead trout fish and chips. Wait was ok they give you a buzzer so you can stroll around the food court. Took about 10 mins not bad. The locally sourced steelhead was a delicious surprise. Tender, juicy fish with crispy breading. Good seasoning. Fries were thicker so not as crispy but still hearty. 3 medium sized pieces of fish. They included ketchup for the fries as well as malt vinegar and tartar sauce for authentic fish dip. Wedge of lemon, too! All in a earth-friendly cardboard box. They take credit just fine. Very convenient location at Carts on Foster just down the street from where I was staying. So I walked back and enjoyed there. If you're staying you could probably cruise over to any local breweries or the bar cart for a beer to complement the fried food. Good time!!!

    Part of the Prost food pod. Between ordering and getting food, it was about 4 minutes…read more I ordered 3 tacos: lengua, carnitas, birria All 3 were solid. Homemade tortillas, the birria was beef but very well seasoned and juicy. The lengua has some nice crispy edges to the cubed meat. Overall cook on lengua was good. The carnitas were not the typical hard, fried, dry pork. Had some nice fatty pieces. Both red and green salsa were very well blended and creamy.

    My perfect Mexican meal is usually chile rellenos. Nachos are a close second. However, I saw…read moresomeone walk by with a plate of flautas from Mole Mole and had to try them. Anytime we go to the Mississippi Marketplace, I always get flautas at Mole Mole. They are a feast for the eyes and palate. These are the best flautas I've had so far in the area. The staff is always friendly, the service is prompt, and orders come out quickly and are plated so beautifully they *must* be photographed every time. I'm a creature of habit so I could order flautas here forever, but I promised myself I would try the chile relleno next time we go. Wish me luck! We love the casual vibe. It's comfy, there's usually a place to sit, but it can get packed when the weather is good. The space is welcoming and offers opportunities to chat with others if you want. It's a great space that fosters community.

    It was payday, my Friday, and my plans to make spaghetti carbonara were foiled by frozen bacon (…read moreoops) and a mountain of dirty dishes ( not. my. job.) and my freakin' exhaustion. Teen wanted boba, and we decided to order Mediterranean from this place which also strangely sells boba. Yes, I rewarded the chore avoidance. Sue me. I worked four tens, all week my mental health clients were stressed and distressed, and I was honestly a lump. We both ordered a Moroccan stewed chicken that comes with saffron rice, salad, and three spicy sauces - one yogurt and maybe sumac? , one sriracha, and one yogurt mixed with sriracha maybe? We liked the rice, chicken, salad, and the yogurt sauce. Just ok though. Not omg good. I wish the two other sauces had been in separate containers and not on the rice. My mint and honey tea was fine. Kid's boba was not full. Not because it spilled either, because it was sealed with the boba seal lid thingy. For $6 that was disappointing. The hummus and dolmades plate came with one sad not good pita, ONE, and I think our Uber eats driver flung it out the window like kids used to deliver newspapers from their bikes because yogurt sauce was freaking everywhere. The hummus was not great. Teen ( the dolmades fan) said the grape leaves were good. Probably not a repeat in store. One and done.

    Ok. Ordered a chicken gyro for $14 then he charged me $15.40. When I asked what the extra $1.40…read more was for he said it was a fee for using my card. The gyro was 2 out 5. Very dishonest food cart.
