This was our first experience at this new cart pod (new enough that the beer hall was still under…read moreconstruction). Chick & Pig has hit the ground running. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, even without libations. Lemongrass chicken with sticky rice, wide rice noodles with chicken, and sweet potato fries! made for a lovely meal. Because it's coming from a food truck, you don't get the fancier plating and presentation that a sit down restaurant provides, but nothing detracted from the flavor. The buzzer worked fine for notifying us of pickup time, so everything arrived hot and fresh. It's nice to have a quality Thai cart pod option in the neighborhood. My only advisory concerns parking - the large parking lot next door is, understandably, not for pod customers, and this stretch of SE Division is too narrow to allow for much street parking, so expect to accumulate a few steps when you visit.

I got the pad kaprao with pork belly after seeing a good review of that dish from the Portland…read moreMercury (https://www.portlandmercury.com/food/food-issue-2026/portlands-top-20-food-carts/). Unfortunately, I came away pretty disappointed. Everything except the pork belly was actually really good. The rice had a good texture and separate grains. The fried egg was crispy and had a nice runny yolk. The cucumbers had a nice thickness and crunch to them (could been colder though). The prik nam pla (fish sauce, chiles, maybe a little lime?) was really great -- something about the flavor really popped for me and was tasty. And everything was served hot and fresh. But the pork belly sucked, and that kinda ruined the dish for me. The fatty parts weren't melt-in-your-mouth at all. They were just chewy. The skin wasn't crispy, it also was chewy. The meaty parts weren't juicy at all, they were tough. I dunno, everything about it seemed wrong. And getting the pork belly right seems like a crucial part of the overall dish. After eating maybe 1/3 of the pieces of pork belly, hoping each time that the bad pieces were just outliers, I gave up and just pushed the rest of them to the side while I ate the rest of the dish. Oh well.

I loved chicken and gunz the first time I moved out here, 7-10 years ago…read more I don't know what happened, but they were the best. Quality dropped in the last few years (mostly just too dry the last few times we tried it imo).

We got two burritos for $20: his was $11 and literally the size of his arm, mine was $9 and still massive. The service was super friendly, it was pretty fast, and they have a little shed you can sit in with condiments if you want to eat there. The area is also super cute (classic Portland vibes). We're from California and have had a lot of burritos, and my boyfriend literally called his friend mid-bite to rave about this one. 10/10, worth every dollar.

This small food cart pod has seen a lot of turnover in the ~5 years I've visited it, since 2017…read morewhen I moved to Portland and lived right nearby, to my most recent visit in 2022. Amenities are limited - porta potty restrooms, zero decor or charm, and a small amount of seating (though it is covered and heated).

From the owner: Welcome to Brooklyn Eats food carts, located in Portland's famous Brooklyn Rail Yard neighborhood…read more We are located on SE 9th and Powell, just two blocks west of the Original Pancake house. Brooklyn Eats is a quaint location with six food cart spaces and a growler room. The amazing wall art in and about Brooklyn Eats food cart walls was provided by the famous Portland street artist "CLUTCH". In the growler room, eating and drinking bars are made of recycled wood beams from old growth wood provided by Capri Construction. Inside walls recovered in recycled pipe, you'll have to see it. We look forward to becoming a Portland destination and creating long lasting memories for friends and family!

Loved that their pizzas bake in rectangular trays for that crispy crust! Hubs & I came during the late afternoon for "lunner" and had: -Caesar Salad, well dressed and decent for a salad. -Sinful Trinity (hunk size), for a pizza with no meat on it, this really surprised us! It was saucy and had crispy edges. -Grand Theft Autumn w/ Hot Honey (hunk size & great name, lol) on the side was delicious. The fresh basil really helped bring out the flavors and being able to drizzle or drip the hot honey to our own personal preference made every bite *chef's kiss*. Service was quick. 2 unisex restrooms available that were clean. We found parking on a residential street nearby and walked over. At first we couldn't find Prettyboy because the line for the pie bakery next door was intimidatingly long...but if you see Little Beast brewery/signage, then you're in the right spot.
