Hopefully they are still open because I loved my experience there! I happened to go when they had a BTS pop up, so I received some BTS cupholder sleeves, which I can tell a lot of BTS fans were super excited about. There were a few vendors selling art and hancrafted (some BTS themed) goods. It was really cool and festive. Was really looking forward to getting the ube cocktail at the bar, but they didn't have them that day. There is seating indoors and outdoors (shaded, under tents) so it was nice and airy. I loved the Noodle Belly noodles, sugar mama sugar cane drink, and Korean hodduk from Sammy's. Everything was great, but I think my favorite item was the noodles! Every vendor and bar staff were super friendly, great customer service.

I think next on my list to try would be the tocino rice bowl. Inside were also just amazing vibes, with great decor and signage, and sweet and efficient service. I will say that ordering online comes with some extra fees, so next time I'd just order in person to avoid them and continue supporting this worker-owned, community built establishment!

We were able to access the kitchen at any hour, which made it super convenient for us! Jeff has always helped us out and assisted in any way needed. The refrigeration storage space was more than enough room for our ingredients and with towels, aprons, etc. provided, that made it easy to work, clean & move to deliveries and events. The only thing that could have helped a little more would be dry storage. As far as equipment, we never had issues that weren't resolved quickly. Overall, we've had a great experience at the Prep Station and continue to enjoy working here.

Where do I start. Lets start with scheduling. The online system Port uses is great and convenient,…read moreand you can schedule time ahead. The drawback is, is when management (Mark) updates the schedule without informing you, this can be an issue. Happened to me, so when I turned up in the kitchen, my reserved area had been taken without my knowledge. No apologies, just an admission that management did it. O and management are not available on the weekends. Next, there is NO parking. Sooo inconvenient, you only get 20 minutes to load and unload equipment, food, etc to and from the kitchen. Port countertops, omg... I cannot get into it entirely on this post... Lets say, more time and effort is spent on keeping these wooden countertops aesthetically pleasing rather than for just utilization. Port, get metal utility tables/benches.:) The mandatory MONTHLY fee for towels. Let me rephrase, you pay a fee to use an allotted amount of towels, when I was there it was SIX! Use to be countless but that changed to six...yes six towels for a busy caterer. A lot of the times there were no clean towels and so I had to bring in my own and still pay the monthly fee. Electronic keys.... You only get one, if you need extra keys they charge you for these. Two keys for one fee is maybe a little more reasonable, js. Port is aesthetically pleasing, like their assistance in helping caterers get jobs for the workspaces there or locally. That is all. Overall, I find Port to be expensive for what they offer, and in terms of what the caterer gets. management (owner only) aloof in my experience. Made wonderful connections network wise, but I would not use Port Kitchens again.
