Very flavorful and crispy! Had their food at a pop up event a few years ago in DT PDX night market and glad to find them in the area of BG food cartel. Got to try them twice more before they took time off to close down to be with family. Service great and wait time is reasonable and salted pepper squid is highly recommended. Great portion and it'll leave you feeling so satisfied with every crunchy bite. Would definitely return! read more

Sou's - Surf n turf combo - Asian Fusion Near Me - Beaverton , Oregon

Tried this place for the first time and they did not disappoint! I loved that I can get half squid/half shrimp because I couldn't decide. I honestly loved both as a combo since they're both so good! The flavors are perfect and come with rice. Next time I'll have to get the wings or surf n turf combo! I'm already thinking about the next time I'll visit since I can't stop thinking about the meal I had. I really hope they stay in the Beaverton area for a while! read more

I've been to their location down in Gresham, but now they moved to even closer to me. My only order is salt and pepper squid. It's so good, every single time. The owners are really nice every single time I ever encountered them. Squid is always piping hot and crispy, and the serving size is perfect. So glad they moved closer! read more

The business hours seem to change pretty regularly. If you plan on going here make sure you check their instagram 15-30 minutes before you leave your home. I checked business hours on Saturday, January 3rd and it had them listed as closed Saturday open on Sunday. Sunday morning I go to BGs Food Cartel and they're closed. Low and behold their hours changed on their IG, they're now closed Monday, Thursday, Sat, Sun. The wife and I love their food and would eat it regularly but it feels like half the time we want to go here they are closed. The food is 10/10 the business hours/days in constant flux is 0/10. read more

Absolutely terrible. The squid was chewy, extremely greasy, and had no flavor from the seasoning whatsoever. Add in onions that still had a raw taste and plain rice, this was an unpleasant plate of food. read more

Perfectly seasoned salt & pepper surf & turf squid and shrimp great portion size and at only $15. It was also recommended to try the ox pepper wings, which is deep fried chicken wings with a delicious fish sauce to coat the wings. Overall, i'm very happy with the dishes and have a food coma to prove it read more

Pepper salted anything from here really... but their pepper salted squid def surprised me in a good way! I grew up my whole life only liking one PSS in the Portland area and Sou's is the only additional place to challenge the spot since I've tried it. I also like their shrimp and some of their wings. But my main go to here is def the pepper salted squid (when it's not sold out) Everything is made to order, so expect a wait. Chill owner, keeps you up to date via their socials! read more

I am a huge Sou's fan. Their fried squid is SO GOOD. I've come for it multiple times. I have also had the wings and they were great too. The service is always amazing. There is tons of seating available and the cart is very clean. read more

Salt and pepper squid is a very nostalgic dish to me. It is something I have fond memories of eating at Tien Hong off Sandy with my family as a little girl. Something about Sou's salt and pepper squid is so good, it almost makes me cry! It's my new favorite place for my salt & pepper squid fix. Service is excellent! Always friendly & quick. I love that Sou's relocated to just down the street from me at the Fork. Perfect plaza of food trucks in a nice area with a parking lot & a dining area outside as well as inside. Sou's is soooo good & I will definitely return. Love supporting local Asian owned businesses & Sou's is definitely deserving of all my money haha read more

Went around 11 am, the time when most carts open. We were one of the first customers to be there. Went around to look at the great variety of choices and i picked this Pepper Salted Squid and it didn't disappoint! Great crunch, seasoning and just the right portion. Though would be nice if it comes with whatever dip. (Vinegar, aioli, tartar) thats just me. read more

Love that Beaverton has an awesome salt and pepper squid spot! My husband got the surf and turf with squid and I got the surf and turf with shrimp. Came with rice and mac salad. Generous portions, amazing food, and friendly service! Will definitely be back! read more

Order the famous salt and pepper squid/shrimp. I didn't realize it came with rice. There were more rice than squid and shrimp. Taste good. But I didn't really taste any pepper. This is inside the fork. It is a lot with various food trucks with nice picnic style tables indoors and a beer bar. read more

The sign says the best pepper and salt squid. They aren't lying. It's the best. Delicious. 10 out of 10 no notes.

Ordered the 1/2 shrimp 1/2 squid and it was a fair price, for a fair amount of food and excellent service. Will repeat for sure.. this food truck spot has always been a favorite for the variety. Really like how they brought in someone new like this. Awesome read more

Best Salt and Pepper Squid around the Beaverton area. Made me think about Thien Hong.

This is the best pepper salted squid I've ever had! The squid is crispy and well seasoned. It tasted like very good quality squid and the portion is generous. Highly recommend to get this with rice! Very fast service and the staff are really nice. read more

Food/Drinks: 5/5 We had their pepper and salt squid and shrimp. It was delicious from a food cart and definitely exceeded our expectations. It had a great aroma, lightly friend, good balance of spices, and tasted great. Service/Atmosphere/Prices: 5/5 We were given a remote buzzer for our order so we could continue to explore the other food carts in the area. It worked great. It was cooked fast and fresh. Prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes they provided. Definitely exceeded our expectations. Overall Comments: 5/5 Of note, we had their food cart/truck variant at the Portland Night Market. Exceeded expectations. Will refer friends and definitely return. read more

Hands down the best Pepper-Salted Squid I've ever had! The squid was fresh and had a nice chew to it. Every bite has the perfect crunch and savory taste. I normally don't eat white rice, but I destroyed the plate because the leftover flavor and grease made the rice such a great sidekick to the squid. I am an onion lover so the sautéed onions hit the spot. Literally so bomb I had to eat it 2 days in a row! read more

I saw some people eating the Salt & Pepper squid while walking around CORE. It looked very good, so I ordered myself some. Wow. It was delicious! The salt and pepper squid was tender, had nice crispiness, and the salt and pepper flavor was perfect. Love the addition of the onions and green onions on top. It was laid on a bed of white rice. read more

Amazing food! Only downfall is not always open according to their posted hours of operations.

The raves are true! Salt & pepper squid is awesome! I decided to check out this new food cart pod this weekend and ordered from a few vendors. Sou's salt & pepper squid was definitely the top pick of mine. The squid is so tender with a nice crunch of the light breading. They were tasty too! Be ready to eat it quick though, the crispiness degrades quickly, so best eaten while it's hot! read more

Pepper salted squid is bomb! I don't have it often but this one is the best I've had. Perfectly fried squid: light, crisp coating and tender, not-chewy squid. Well balanced flavors with the onions and scallions. Just perfect and well-priced. Can't speak to any of the other dishes but if they're as good as the squid then that'd be something. Located on se 82nd, with a bunch of other good food cart options read more

Delicious salt and pepper squid and shrimp! Order at least a week ahead to get a full tray of shrimp or squid!

Probably the best fried squid and shrimp combos in the state for the portion. Excellent service and super chill owner.

amazing pepper squid and shrimp. I was sad they shut their doors at chop chop. I hope they don't relocate too far away.

The Pepper Salted Squid is BOMB.com, PERFECT, crispy, light, the flavors are out of the world, not oily, and the portions are big. I normally don't like scallions but fck I finished everything, so so SOOOOOOOO good. Don't even get anything else, just get this and you'll be happy. I know I was. Will come back for this. I miss it already read more

10/10 for service 10/10 for tasty food 10/10 for proportion 10/10 for pricing Meet chef and owner, Sou. Bringing in the best salt and pepper seafood to the Fork in Wood Village Oregon. Get a chance to indulge his salt and pepper squid with a side of his house made spicy sauces. Do not skip on his tomato hot sauce cause it's that good! Sou's sign definitely speaks for itself! This is hands down, the best salt and pepper squid I've had in Oregon! read more

Soo GLAD they relocated closer to me! They are one of the few places that serves Pepper Salted Squid at its FINEST!! Thank you SOUS!!

We have tried countless places for their salt and pepper squid or shrimp. Our favorite is Thien Hoang. But service was so bad we went looking for alternatives. This place definitely is great. The seasoning and crispinessis worth the drive. I found the shrimp to be a little less seasoned and crispy for some reason. I didn't eat it with the rice as it was tasty alone and the onions was the chefs kiss read more

Been flowing these guys since back in 2015 when they would do the Gresham market on the weekend. Over the years when they announced where they would be, I would clear my calendar for the salt and pepper squid. A few weeks ago they announced that they had a cart with a location. When the announcement was made that they were going to be a few mins from my house I was filled with joy. It was like a long lost friend moved away and announced they were coming back! Opening day. Ordered 2 of the salt and pepper squid. One for me, one for the wife. The countdown was intense. After our order was called, we sat down. The first bite..... soooooo good! It's everything I remember. The squid is done just right. It's actually hard for me to describe it. But the word perfect comes to mind. It comes on a bed of rice topped with seasoned onions. We've been back a few times. Service is great. Food is consistent. I will be going back as long as they keep making it. Been wanting to try the sausage but it's hard to try something other than the squid. They claim they have the best salt and pepper squid and they rightfully earned that title! Can't say enough good about the small business. Other than I think I know what I'm having for dinner tonight. read more

Ive only been here twice in the past 2 weeks and ive only went for OMG its the best fastest salt and pepper squid with rice around portland. Some really nice coworkers left a plate of it for me; one bite of it i knew where it came from. I went back for a third and it still makes my heart sing when i eat this awesome salt and peppers. I haven't tried the other potentially awesome dishes there, but i know where to get my precious salt and pepper squid. @tmbkyan read more

Great spot for a quick, delicious bite. Had the surf and turf combo. The short ribs weren't available, but the sliced chuck in replacement was a delicious substitute. The squid was light, crunchy, and savory. Loved the Mac salad, tho the pasta was maybe a touch over cooked. Would recommend and will definitely be coming back. read more

The food is great but the fact that the hours are so inconsistent is frustrating. Hours will be posted and then suddenly changed with no notice- not very efficient and a waste of my time when I'm heading there 2hrs before closing to find out they just update their IG stating they are done for the day! read more

When I saw the sign for "best salt and pepper squid", I laughed and was like OOOok yeah sure. So I decided to order it just for fun. MAN.....this was good. like really really really good. The sign lived up to its name and I now really do think it's the best salt and pepper squid i've had. My fiancé and I were visiting from out of town and i'll tell you that this is the type of dish that we'd EASILY fly back to pdx just to eat. Now, what was so good about it? everything. everything was made to perfection. We love the asian style salt and pepper squid dishes in chinese/vietnamese restaurants and this was similar to that but much more refined. The breading was not too heavy, the salt content was perfectly balanced, the scallions/onions was actually a great complement and I ATE IT ALL. After writing this review, I am currently mad at myself for not ordering more read more

Hey a bunch of food trucks, I bet it's just casual and not mind blowingly tasty. WRONG. Sou's calamari is like a featherweight boxer--underestimates are going to earn you a punch in the face. Hell, you might just get punched in the face anyway. I had my first few bites and thought, "damn! That is some delicious calamari!" then had a few more bites and thought, "how does the flavor build like this? It's just a simple calamari side on rice!" and it just kept going. I had to double back to get a second order because I had eaten the whole thing before getting home when I was supposed to share with my wife! Whatever number of orders you're thinking, just do yourself a favor and double it. You and yours will not regret that decision! read more

The most bomb-ass squid I've ever had. Was not overly greasy, perfectly seasoned, and the onions add a wonderful balance to the flavor and texture. read more
