    Chicken fried rice with small hot and sour soup with Copper Line Amber in the background. Best beer here...
    Humam T.

    You know how sometimes you have to give a review right away when an establishment is really bad or really good. Well in this case it was the more happy occasion. I was surprised first at the amount of food that they give. I ordered a large soup for $7. Any other place it would have been double. My chicken fried rice was completely stuffed in the box. Same with Melanie T's dish which was Beef Chow Fun. Everything was amazing. Her dish was the best thing I've ever had at Troutdale Food Station. I will definitely have hers next time. They were friendly and accommodating with a smile. I highly recommend them.

    Yum! Where we live we do not get to experience good Asian food and are always hesitant trying new places. We had the kung pao, low mein and orange chicken and it was very good! We will come back.

    Extra $2 for fried rice is NOT worth it.

    $15 for General chicken is a joke for what you get. We asked for fried rice for an additional $2. Yeah, she fried the rice alright! Nothing was added to the rice e. Maybe a splash of soy sauce?! And don't dare ask for anything additional such as a bag to carry your food! $17 for grocery store quality Chinese Food is a joke. It's quality and qunity is more like $6.

    This little gem is at the Troutdale Station, on the right, I knew they would be tasty by the smell as I walked up and I was not wrong. The lady at the front was super lovely, though shy, and made sure I wanted spicy when I ordered the sesame Beef. We got our food fairly quickly, and so so much food. I am writing this a few days later and I have had three meals on the food you get. The beef was crispy, spicy, sweet, and also tender. The sauce was prevalent, and the rice was perfectly fluffy. I will definitely go back for my Chinese food needs.

    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.
