    Beef chow fun
    Gene W.

    Best food cart pod in Portland area. See separate review for Troutdale Station. This was one of at least 7 or 8 Asian style carts in amongst the 20 carts. Good portion size for the money, I order the beef chow fun (wide rice noodle). Flavors were on point though the beef, while plentiful, was not too tender. Well fried noodles with both green onion & bean sprouts. Not a bad choice if you hanker for Chinese food, but next time, I'll probably try the other Asian options: Korean, Thai, Indian, Japanese, etc.

    We pass by these carts all the time and we stopped in finally and it is a lovely hall with tons of space and a great feel. About a dozen carts here and a few more stands inside the building. Now for this I want to let it be known that I am not a huge fan of authentic Chinese food. This is the one ethnic food that I really do like to be very Americanized with that said this place hits just right... I love white meat chicken, battered and fried, and a sauce with 102% pure sugar lol... The place hit quick, fresh, and was a decent price for these days... 12 bucks for a decent sized entree. It really is a great place to get out of the elements, and it also seems they have a decent happy hour on drafts inside!

    ok. I know at a thai place medium is hot, but when i saw "mile, medium, hot, thai hot" I figured…read moremedium would be safe....... wrong. well, the medium pad thai was mild the drunken noodle medium was way hot! they made me a new batch at no charge! great customer service, oh yea, and the food? top notch

    Had the opportunity to try Thai Carnation Restaurant with my coworkers and babyyyy... NEW FAVORITE…read moreTHAI SPOT unlocked First of all, why do you have to be so far from me?! Because I will be back. We started off strong with a table full of appetizers. It was one of those "everyone grab something" moments, and listen... I had been up since 6am, starving, and completely forgot to take pictures until it was basically too late. But trust me, that alone should tell you how good it was. Crab puffs? Gone. Creamy, crispy perfection. Fried spring rolls? Devoured without hesitation. But that salt and pepper shrimp?? LISTEN. It tasted like somebody's grandma was in the back cooking with love. I could've eaten that as my full meal 10 times over and still asked for more. Then came the angel wings... OMG. At this point I was already full, borderline mad about it, because I wanted to keep eating. And I'm not usually a leftovers person....but these? Plus that one last shrimp sitting there? Oh no... they came home with me. And the best part? EVERYONE loved their food. No misses at the table. If you're debating, don't. Just go. And go hungry.

    The last two times we've ordered from here, we've left feeling pretty disappointed. The food still…read moretastes good, but the prices have gone up, and the portions -- especially the protein -- seem noticeably smaller than they used to be. Our most recent curry had only about five pieces of chicken, which was surprising. I'm not sure if this is because we ordered it to-go, but either way, it didn't feel like the same value we've experienced in the past. For now, we're going to pause on returning and try some other spots in the neighborhood instead. Hopefully this is just a temporary hiccup, because the flavors are still there

    That's evil. This…read morehas got to be the first Thai restaurant that didn't serve evil jungle. The best Thai dish ever. Ok maybe not to some, but to me it's my go to dish. In fact, a majority of dishes I see at a Thai restaurant back home weren't on the menu. And they had an odd plate of sweet and sour anything. So they have that in Thai? I ended up getting the pad Thai. It was safe for me. I wasn't so sure about this salmon curry or avocado with any curry?!? This place seems to be a mix of Chinese and some Thai cuisine. I mean it's a fusion I have never seen. Overall three stars. The food was ok and the service fine. Plenty of seating and very clean. I'm not so sure what I paid for since we were a large party but everyone left happy. They just don't know what they're missing. Evil Jungle baby.
