My spouse and I love La Mai Plate!! It's one of our most loved and favorite restaurants in town. Bonus that it's in a cute food cart area with seating. 100/10 vegan gluten free tofu (even my meat eating spouse chooses it). The orange ginger is our favorite - pro tip to order it with extra veggies. Chef and owner Cha is so lovely and kind!!! The best (: read more

La Mai Plate - Orange Ginger Tofu with added Veggies - Asian Fusion Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Okay so I'm going to be so real with you. This is where I get my Rangoon fix. Miss them? Don't miss them anymore. You deserve rangoons. They're a little crunchy, and they have a bit more of a doughy flavor that may be a bit to get used to at first, but hey, YOU make a better gluten free Rangoon. Four stars though because the hours are clearly posted but the last several times I've gone the cart had just been closed. :/ I get the impression that it is run by one, maybe two extremely busy but passionate chefs. And sometimes life just has to come first. Definitely CALL AHEAD if you can! read more

Quick service food truck with various Asian inspired options. I tried out the curry puffs which were delicious! I enjoyed the pastry shell and the inside was savory mix of vegetablws and curry with a slight sweet note. It's great all the items are gluten free and that they also have multiple vegan and vegetarian options. There's a few picnic tables outside to eat at. They do have a sign that sometimes they open a bit later than listed opening time depending on the day, so just notable since they opened closer to 1/130pm on Sunday when I went there. I read their items might lean on the sweeter side in general. These were even impressively good even when I had refrigerated some and reheated in microwave later and didn't become soft or soggy. Would come back to try more items here! read more

La Mai Plate - Noodles - Asian Fusion Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Gluten free options! Everything we had was great. They were pretty busy and it took quite awhile to get our take out order. My favorite was the coconut shrimp. I did over-order because I was so excited to try all the things! I've missed having dim sum since being diagnosed with celiac disease. GF is clearly marked on the menu. read more

La Mai Plate has been on my businesses-to-visit list for a while now and I'm so glad I finally made it. Definitely recommend this food cart! I can't wait to come back to try more of their menu. This biz owner is someone you want to support. So friendly and making delicious food that she's passionate about. She gave an accurate time estimate for when the food would be ready and used a beeper so I could retreat to my air conditioned car. I ordered: -La Mai Plate - have to get the one named after the biz right? Rice dish packed with spices, loaded with perfectly cooked tofu that looks like meat but isn't. (Can also get chicken.) Plus topped with nuts, onions, and other crunchy and flavorful things. Super tasty! -Summer Rolls - so fresh! Lettuce, mango, avocado, felt like a little tropical vacation in my mouth. Plus a great peanut sauce for dipping. Portion size? Generous. Easily able to split between two people. I took my food to-go but there is seating at this food cart pod. It's a couple of picnic tables under a tent. La Mai Plate's hours can vary, so check their social media. read more

Everything I have ever gotten here is a 10/10. My favorite is the lemongrass chicken dish and mango sticky rice. I'm absolutely obsessed. Service is amazing as well. There are a few tables under covered areas if you would like to sit. We love La Mai plate! read more

Recommendation from a friend to visit Sellwood and stop by La Mai Plate, and so glad we did! The food cart pod had great dining options and some seating throughout. Our group ordered La Mai Noodles, crab puffs, mango curry, and lavender lemonade. I really enjoyed the crab puffs! The outsides were crisp with a beautiful green puff wrapper. The filling was creamy, and little pieces of corn. Surprise corn! I really enjoyed my mango curry. Flavorful, a touch of heat. I had leftovers and added extra stuff at home - the curry that keeps giving. If you're looking for a little walk after your meal, walk west a few blocks from La Mai into the residential area. There's a house with friendly goats and chickens out front! read more

Everything was closed during the wildfires and smoke, but she was open! I had the PeaChic with chicken and it was great! I think she coats the chicken in potato or taro flour and then fries it, but it comes out so crispy and light! With the peanut sauce, it was very tasty and filling. And, then there are all the wonderful personalities... Herself, the owner is a wonderful lady who really loves her customers and happily engages to chat. Also, there was another BIG personality... the cat I met there. Such a glossy coat and such a sweetie! She tried the chicken and loved it and gobbled up my leftover rice, she even came up in my lap for snuggles! The owner tells me she has a home next door, even though she has no collar. I'll be coming back. I'd love to try something spicy, or the curry buns, or dumplings, or... ;) read more

After a TON of deliberation over what to get at this food pod, i chose la mai plate because the food seemed the most unique, especially being asian fusion food. I got the pea chic but with tofu instead of chicken, and I was pleasantly surprised about the batter! It definitely was a different type of breading than what I'm used to, but still nice and crispy with a slight sourness to it. The peanut sauce that came with it was GOOD. I expected something similar to what you get when you order Vietnamese spring rolls, but instead it tasted pretty similar to Thai curries. Great surprise that came with my meal, and portions were great! The owner was super sweet as well. She made sure to let me know that although the tofu looked like meat, it was definitely tofu, haha. I definitely want to try something else like the summer rolls or la mai plate, so I'll be back! read more

Really great flavors and friendly service! Shared the avocado salad with chicken. The dressing and chicken fry was perfect

You know when you find food that ticks all the boxes and you are so excited and hungry, you forget to take a picture. Yeah, that happened here. My partner picked up dinner for us and omg. Serving size is quite generous, enough for two full meals. Prices are great. Staff super friendly. Will definitely be going here again. And again. read more

Excellent food! We ordered for a graduation party, and everyone loved the food. Grandma's favorites were the coconut shrimp and the crab puffs. Grad's favorites were the La Mai Roll with chicken and Summer roll. Uncle's favorite was the chicken satay. Mom loved the Spicy Lemongrass. Overheard: "Everything I put in my mouth is my new favorite thing." We ordered 15 different items. The only thing we didn't like was the fried tofu in a couple items. Loved everything else. Service was great - large portions and extras for our large order. Thank you for helping make our event one to remember! read more

This place is the BEST. I love the sellwood food carts, but this one is a particular stand out. I always come here for the Avocado Salad which is consistently so perfect. The woman who runs the operation is so talented and kind. Would definitely recommend and there is usually open spots to sit with colorful benches right next to the cart read more

La Mai Plate - Avocado Salad with fried fresh chicken and mixed greens - Asian Fusion Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Super friendly folks own and work at this cart. Decided to give it a try tonight for dinner, and I'm so glad I did! Everything is fresh and delicious. Spicy lemongrass chicken, la mai plate, la mai roll, dumplings, all excellent. Check them out! read more

Simple, local but fantastic test My favorite dish here is the Lamai roll. One plate wasn't enough, because my tongue and my brain were addicted to this signature taste! I had to order a second one! Everything else on the menu also looked so yummy. I loved the service too. She's super friendly and fantastic. I will definitely come back to Lamai plate again. read more

I love the food here esp her unique dumplings. And Cha is the friendliest and happiest host ever!

My wife and I have eaten here twice now, and we loved it both times. The first time, we got the curry puff as an appetizer and the avocado salads as main dishes. (Yes, we both got the avocado salad.... it just sounded really good). The second time, we got the dumplings as an appetizer, and tried two seasonal special dishes-- the pumpkin soup and a seasonal dish with soba noodles. Everything was excellent each time. Things that stand out: --Lots of fresh ingredients and high quality ones. (This is one of the reasons the salads were so outstanding. Well, that and the dressing.) --Fun and tasty accompaniments/garnishments to the dishes (for instance, my pumpkin soup was topped with sauteed kale and served with a crispy cracker of mixed-whole-grain rice.) --Dishes that *aren't* the same thing that you can find at every other Thai cart. The dishes are creative and mixing andThai food traditions with Pacific NW ingredients. (I might try the "Forest Salad" next time...) Besides the food, I have to give a big shout to the friendliness of the owner/chef, who is super nice and enthusiastic. Allso, she has placed all sorts of fun seasonal/Halloween decorations around the cart and seats near it-- that are really fun and cute. It definitely makes sitting to eat there, more fun that at many mods. I'm actually wondering if I can justify going back tomorrow.... read more

I do not recommend this business, the owner does not abide by their posted business hours, nor do they post updates to their social media. I drove an hour to finally try their food, I arrived a little bit earlier than expected, then waited 45 minutes, 25 minutes of that was after their posted opening hours. While I was excited to try multiple items from the menu, I will just say that they were bland and left me horribly hungry...since they never opened. This is very sad when locals try to support local businesses like this, and they do this to their customers, it is disrespectful to at least not post something on the social media site. I will never return to this business, nor will I recommend it to any one. There are many other small businesses in the community, and they treat their customers with respect and understand that for some of us, time is very valuable. This also impacts their fellow small business owners, because this was out of my way, I will not be returning to the area in the near future to try other food trucks due to this experience. read more

Soo good! The avocado salad is great and has the most delicious dressing. The dumplings are tasty too! Cha and her husband Jon are super sweet and fun! read more

Cha (owner) is the absolute sweetest and has some of the best food i've ever had avocado salad and any of the appetizers are so delicious. Be prepared to wait because it's always popping there but she is the only one cooking and preparing this amazing grub so have grace and be patient! it is WORTH the wait!!!! read more

Well all the reviews I have read were spot on! I got the Avocado salad with the curry puffs and now I will be a forever customer. Everything was delicious and hot, Flavors were spot on and left me sad my plate was empty even though the portions were perfect. Thank you so much La Mai Plate you rock! Keep doin great things. read more

I've eaten here a few times and each time the food is fresh and delicious. The crab puffs and avocado salad are fabulous. The portions are very generous as well. I look forward to trying more items! read more

Great variety of tasty gluten-free options! Can't wait to go back and eat my way through the whole menu.

Oh! I'll definitely be coming here again! I stopped in to get some snacks; I got tom saa soup and tofu curry puffs. They were both so delicious! Thank you for warming me on a cool, rainy day with wonderful food! Notably, I discovered an automatically added 25% tip to my bill later. Within one hour of complaining about this (after hours), La Mai Plate had personally responded and reversed the charge. I'd originally subtracted stars for this, but I've of course added them back now. read more

Nice folks, love the amount of vegan options, and the way the tofu is done, tastes great!

Wonderful food! Super sweet people who run this cart. The Avocado salad is delicious and fresh, nice balance of flavors and spice. The Salapo and La Mai Rolls are great as well. My favorite is the Salapo (great mix of spice, crunch and softness from the bun). If you are not good with a lot of spice (like me) they can adjust the spiciness/heat, just ask. Wonderful food and great people will certainly be back to try all the dishes. read more

We were shopping in the area and stumbled into the food carts here. For lunch my sister and I chose La Mai Plate because we wanted something fresh, nothing fried. We both chose the Avocado Salad, hers with added chicken. So yummy! It's the perfect blend of greens, nuts, dressing and of course delicious avocados. The proprietor is warm and friendly. I hope she prospers here! read more

AMAZING. Our favorite fusion food truck. Cool always changing menu of fresh Food. Great gluten free choices.

The La Mai Roll is sooo good! I have enjoyed all the other dishes from this cart, but this one is the one to get every time. The owners are very friendly and the service is somewhat slow only cause it obviously freshly made. I am so down! read more

Haven't tried much from here yet, but the soup with buckwheat noodles was truly exceptional! Excited to try the rest of the menu!

Very delicious! Super friendly lady helped take my order. The chicken in the Peachic dish was super crispy - cannot recommend enough! And, you can control level of sweetness in the Thai Iced tea which I super appreciated. Will be back! read more
