Let's get into it. Right off I-205 and just a short cruise up into Happy Valley, this spot feels like the food cart scene finally put on a clean shirt and got its life together. It's modern, it's polished, and it sits in a neighborhood where you don't feel like you need to keep your head on a swivel. No chaos, no nonsense just good eats and a relaxed vibe. What makes this place stand out? Options. A ridiculous amount of them. This isn't a "hope everyone agrees on tacos" situation. This is a "you get what you want, I get what I want, and we all win" kind of place. I've officially made it my mission few days left to try as many carts as humanly possible. Call it a food tour, call it a personal challenge, call it reckless ambition... I'm doing it anyway. We kicked things off at K-Pop Korean Hawaiian BBQ-because when you roll with a buddy from Hawaii, that's basically law. And let me tell you, it delivers. Bold flavors, solid portions, and that perfect fusion vibe that just works. Honestly, it set the bar high and that's saying something, because every cart here seems to bring their A-game. The setup is dialed in too. Covered seating for those rainy Oregon days, indoor space when winter decides to show up with attitude, and open-air areas when you want to sip a little wine or knock back a cold brew like a civilized adult. Surrounded by trees and mountain views, it almost tricks you into thinking you planned something outdoorsy... when really, you just came to eat. And here's the kicker it's clean. Like, noticeably clean. The carts look new, the area is well kept, and the whole place feels intentional. Not slapped together. Not gritty. This is food carting with standards. If you're local, you already know. If you're passing through, put this at the top of your list. And if you're doing a full-on food truck tour? Start here. Set the tone right. Because trust me after this, when you head back downtown and start dodging zombies and chaos... you'll miss this place real quick.

Love me some Happy Valley Station!…read more This is like the upscale farmers market of food carts- park your car, enjoy the landscaping, and check it all out. Dog friendly, Kid friendly, 100-year old friendly. Lots of clean and tidy indoor and outdoor cafeteria-style seating to choose from. Carts are covered from the rain, but outside. Beer and Espresso served and paid for inside. Restrooms are accessible and inside. Carts will give you a buzzer to notify you when the order is ready, so you can go walk around or find a seat while you wait. It was very busy this particular day, but no problem, all the carts seemed to be prepared for that! Just a lot of friendly faces who understood we needed to drool over all the menus before arriving somewhere. We landed on Premier Japanese Hibachi and loved all the flavor. Some of the freshest shrimp and yakisoba I have ever had. We also had the grilled shrimp and steak. TIP: don't forget to ask how you want your steak because it is made to order! The sauces on the side were perfect for dipping and sharing. Unfortunately, the portions did feel small for $18 a plate. Also, how to order water with your meal was confusing- another worker said just go inside. Eventually I saw signs that water is free with purchase or $1, but you would think it would be obvious. Overall, Premier Japanese Hibachi and everything else was a hit, 10/10, TY!

No matter which location I have visited, the food has been consistent and quality. These wraps are the perfect texture, great spice levels, quick to be made and easy to take on the road for lunch on the go. A personal favorite, and a must-try food cart in my opinion!

Fast forward to today when my flight got in early and I saw they were open. Came in around 11ish when many of the food carts looked like they were just starting to prepare food. Found Bing Mi behind the Beer Garden stage. After looking at the menu, I couldn't pass up trying the roast duck. I ordered the loaded roast duck Jiang Bing with mild sauce. I paid with my card, was given a number and took a seat at the communal wooden picnic tables. When I got my food, I could see it was a solid amount. Two Jiang Bing halves. The only thing I didn't really see was the roast duck. Before I get into that though, I just want to say you can tell how much care the people who work here put into their food. If there's a line, they don't rush the process. The crepe outside is perfect and the crispy wonton pieces in the middle are the star of my Jiang Bing. Their cucumbers are fresh. You can taste the sauce. I just would have wanted a little more meat so it wasn't so much crepe and crispiness. I give them a solid 4.5 though. I couldn't finish both halves of my Jiang bing because it's filling. I suggest bringing someone who will want to share food. I may be back to try their handmade dumplings next!

This is the first taco stand that I have tried in a long time and it is worth the stop! My friend…read moretook me here because she loves that the tacos are fresh and affordable. We've been here a few times now and I definitely agree! They operate in the evenings starting at around 7pm and go until late night. I highly recommend their Asada tacos and Tripa tacos. They chop and fry the tripe until crispy and add seasoning to give it that extra oomph. Each order of tacos comes with the fixings, like lime, radish, onions, cilantro, and salsas. There's a long table at the stand with a few seats so I recommend eating these right away, fresh off the grill. For $3-4 tacos, you can't beat this quality and freshness!

Each time, I would bring more friends. They have more flavorful tacos than the ones I've tried in Aloha area. The tripe or tripas is the best, then my second favorite is the asada. They grill them until crispy and served on top of double tortillas with grilled jalapenos, onion, and raw radish and lime. They open at about 7 pm and there is always people already waiting for them. The service is quick. There are some seats but not many, so be prepared to have it to go or eat in your car (best eaten fresh out of the grill). They play nice music. It's a very casual stand overall. Everyone that I took here said they loved the tacos.

I ordered the Biang Biang noodles for myself and requested mild spice. I love that you get to customize the spiciness because I was a little worried the chili oil noodles would be too spicy. The hand-stretched noodles have the best texture and the flavor was indescribable, honestly. One order was almost 3 meals for me (I don't eat big lunches) and the quality was unmatched. It's only been a week since I went to the cart and I've been craving it again ever since. I didn't even take a picture of my meal, I just dove in. The smell was just too tantalizing. My only complaint is that the hours make it difficult to get over there, but if I plan it right I can make it work and the food is well worth the effort.

We had passed Buster's before, and while out on a driveabout, we finally stopped on a whim. Inside, a cafeteria-style barbecue counter presents the sort of decisions worth taking seriously, including smoked meats, ribs, sides, and enough barbecue sauces to require a small tasting strategy. I chose the brisket and hot-link sausage with a baked potato and green salad. The brisket was fork-tender, juicy, and everything brisket promises to be before lesser brisket breaks that promise. The salad was genuinely ice-cold and crisp, not the weary afterthought sometimes served beside barbecue. A generous topping bar made both the salad and potato much more interesting. The prices provided another happy surprise. There is real value here, which has become nearly as rare as properly juicy brisket. Tamra, the bartender, was a delight. A request for a mocktail was met without hesitation or the faint expression suggesting we had requested a small harp. What arrived was thoughtful and tasty. Buster's was clean, friendly, satisfying, and refreshingly affordable. We will be back. I have unfinished business with those beef ribs.
