What surprised me was the service when dining in... they have a covered dining area and bring you a plate of food with a variety of sauces. It's outdoor seating only, so not sure I can speak to the ambiance... it might be a bit cold during the winter months for dining in, but their food is authentic and they have some creative burrito and taco options.

So glad that I tried this food truck while visiting Downtown Portland! It's in a square that has a…read morefew other food trucks nearby and lots of outdoor seating. This is probably my favorite jianbing I've tried so far. I appreciate how many different types of fillings they have. They have a couple vegetarian options which is great! I ordered the fried tofu classic series, which was the first time I've ever had a fried tofu inside a jianbing. The outer layer was more crepe than egg, in comparison to other jianbing I've tried before. But I didn't mind it (and actually enjoyed!). The sauce inside is so flavorful and delicious! The classic was a perfect portion for me, but they also have signature and loaded options if you're really hungry. They also welcome personalizations, as they were willing to accomodate my request of no cilantro and zhacai (Chinese pickled mustard plant stem). The mild spice was perfect and really not spicy at all - I would probably try medium next time. While food trucks can be hit or miss sometimes, this one did not disappoint. The wait for the food was a little long, but it was worth the wait because the food was delicious. The prices are also decent for a food truck. I highly recommend trying this!

Portland is known for its food cart scene, and since we were so close to Pioneer Square, my…read morecolleagues and I grabbed lunch here. We chose Bing Mi because none of us had tried a jianbing before! The food cart is lined up among others. It's easy to spot since it's bright red. They have their menu on display, and lines can vary depending on the time of day. You line up, order and pay, get your buzzer, then pick up your food. Since we came during the lunch rush, it was a bit busy, and the wait was longer, but everything is made to order. The worker was nice and helpful! My manager and I shared the BBQ Pork Jianbing and Pork Chili Oil Wontons. The jianbing was interesting! It was light, and the filling was savory. It fell apart a bit, and even though it was mild, I couldn't taste any spice. I liked the mix of textures, from soft and crunchy to chewy. I wish there were more filling! The wontons were good--well-filled but not spicy. I would recommend trying their jianbing for a quick, on-the-go meal. Bing Mi is a lovely food cart in Pioneer Square that I'm glad I got to try. I'm glad I know what jianbing tastes like, and I'd get it again. I recommend this spot if you like this cuisine!

When I ordered it, the app said it would be ready at an appropriate time which was 10 mins later. It was ready 8 mins later. Which was pretty cool. I liked my bacon breakfast burrito. It had some really soft creamy potatoes and the eggs were cooked to perfection. It had plenty of cheese too. Only one complaint is that the bacon was a little fatty and it was hard to get a bite of crispy bacon as the bacon was a little rubbery. Next time I will be sure to tell them to really cook the bacon. The red sauce was pretty hot and spicy. Loves that. I will be back again soon.

Midtown Beer Garden delivers some delicious, authentic Chinese food and Stretch the Noodle is…read moredefinitely another food cart I'd highly recommend for their beef noodle soup. As their name denotes, their noodles are hand-pulled. While their menu is limited, this just means that they can focus their efforts on creating quality dishes. For only $14, the beef noodle soup is quite reasonably priced, and actually a full meal. I've had an experience with a food cart in the past where the portion size did not reflect the price point, but not here. The beef noodle soup here is on par at what you'd get at a sit-down restaurant. It's packed with tender beef, plenty of noodles, veggies, and a piping hot broth. Chili oil was unnecessary, as it already came with some on top. The broth itself was clear, yet still had the correct spices that beef noodle soup is known for. This food cart was pretty popular. Other patrons were ordering some of the dry noodle dishes such as the noodle salad or dan dan noodles. Everything from their kitchen looked so good, but as a soup kinda gal, I'm glad I ultimately went with the beef noodle soup. While I cannot speak for the flavor profiles of the other dishes Stretch the Noodle has to offer, from my experience enjoying the beef noodle soup, it's safe to say that I was very happy with my lunch and would love to return to this food cart the next time we visit PDX. Additionally, as I try to be eco-conscious, my food was served in a reusable container, which I saved after devouring my meal and washed instead of throwing it out.

I ordered the Biang Biang noodles for myself and requested mild spice. I love that you get to customize the spiciness because I was a little worried the chili oil noodles would be too spicy. The hand-stretched noodles have the best texture and the flavor was indescribable, honestly. One order was almost 3 meals for me (I don't eat big lunches) and the quality was unmatched. It's only been a week since I went to the cart and I've been craving it again ever since. I didn't even take a picture of my meal, I just dove in. The smell was just too tantalizing. My only complaint is that the hours make it difficult to get over there, but if I plan it right I can make it work and the food is well worth the effort.

Let's get into it. Right off I-205 and just a short cruise up into Happy Valley, this spot feels like the food cart scene finally put on a clean shirt and got its life together. It's modern, it's polished, and it sits in a neighborhood where you don't feel like you need to keep your head on a swivel. No chaos, no nonsense just good eats and a relaxed vibe. What makes this place stand out? Options. A ridiculous amount of them. This isn't a "hope everyone agrees on tacos" situation. This is a "you get what you want, I get what I want, and we all win" kind of place. I've officially made it my mission few days left to try as many carts as humanly possible. Call it a food tour, call it a personal challenge, call it reckless ambition... I'm doing it anyway. We kicked things off at K-Pop Korean Hawaiian BBQ-because when you roll with a buddy from Hawaii, that's basically law. And let me tell you, it delivers. Bold flavors, solid portions, and that perfect fusion vibe that just works. Honestly, it set the bar high and that's saying something, because every cart here seems to bring their A-game. The setup is dialed in too. Covered seating for those rainy Oregon days, indoor space when winter decides to show up with attitude, and open-air areas when you want to sip a little wine or knock back a cold brew like a civilized adult. Surrounded by trees and mountain views, it almost tricks you into thinking you planned something outdoorsy... when really, you just came to eat. And here's the kicker it's clean. Like, noticeably clean. The carts look new, the area is well kept, and the whole place feels intentional. Not slapped together. Not gritty. This is food carting with standards. If you're local, you already know. If you're passing through, put this at the top of your list. And if you're doing a full-on food truck tour? Start here. Set the tone right. Because trust me after this, when you head back downtown and start dodging zombies and chaos... you'll miss this place real quick.

We came on a hot day so they were only open after 7pm. As we went up to order, the owner seemed annoyed and grumpy with us (possibly because of the heat) Nonetheless our food came out fast. I had the fried avocado taco plate. The tacos themselves were just decent, the fried avocado pieces were underwhelming and bland and the tortilla was a bit too toasted for my liking. However, the slaw and all the different sauces really amped up the brightness and spicy/sweet flavor. The cilantro lime rice had good flavor, but the rice texture was mushy. The Mac salad was solid, but was missing the traditional sweetness I'd expect. It's worth mentioning my boyfriend really enjoyed his chicken and his rice wasn't overcooked at all.
