Midtown Beer Garden delivers some delicious, authentic Chinese food and Stretch the Noodle is definitely 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. read more

My husband mentioned wanting to try this place months ago and the hours of the cart have made it difficult to get to. I finally found a time to come by, and ordered a couple of dishes. 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. read more

Love that the noodles are hand made. The flavors in this dish were absolutely incredible. Recommendation would be to get a spice level down from what you normally get. We wanted to do medium but went with mild and we were glad we did. Located conveniently in the Midtown Beer Garden. read more

Stretch The Noodle - Biang Biang Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My favorite food cart in Portland. Hand-pulled noodles freshly made and pipping hot for less than $15? Count me in. My favorite dish is their #3 which is their biang biang noodles ($12). Spice levels are mild, medium, and spicy. We got the mild and it probably a 5/10 on the spice level. If you want a little more kick, definitely opt for the medium. The noodles are perfectly thick, chewy, bouncy, and slurpy. The service size is just right for one person -- probably not big enough to share. We also tried the #2 chow mein with veggies and a choice of meat. The flavor for this dish is much more muted than the biang biang noodles, but there are more variety of textures and flavors here. They accept credit card. Street parking only. Nice seating with heat lamps under tents. Bring these noodles to California! read more

I tried this place 5 years ago, and I'm glad to say it is still as good as I remembered it. Actually, I swear we got mild flavor then and it was so spicy. I'm so glad they're mild is actually toned down for us to enjoy the food. The biang biang noodle ($12) is the best thing to get here. The noodles are thick, slightly doughy, chewy and smothered in the red chili sauce. It is one of the best biang biang noodles we've had. The portion is definitely shareable but I could eat one all by myself. read more

Stretch The Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Found street parking a few blocks down which was okay since the weather was nice. The food truck is nested in a beer garden with a large covered tent area in the middle area. There is plenty of seating there and It looked like there was a space for live music and string lights - probably a fun spot to grab dinner in the evening. We came for lunch and ordered the chao mian with chicken (spicy) and bian bian noodles (spicy). The noodles are cooked to order and we were served quickly. The serving sizes are huge. Neither one of us could finish ours. We'll likely order one dish to split next time, and that'd still probably be more than enough. The flavor of the chao mian was a bit lackluster. It was savory with a soy sauce flavor base, but got a bit repetitive with each bite. It was decently spicy and texture was there with the veggies, but I wish there was a way to customize with more spice or vinegar to taste. The bian bian noodles were more flavorful and also spicier. Fun noodle texture. There are also other vendors in the garden so you can pair a dessert, drink, or side with your meal while staying in the same area. Overall, a filling meal for a good price! Would come again to try their beef noodle soup. read more

We came here on a Friday at 11:30 and there were a few folks waiting in line but nothing crazy. Placed an order for chicken chao mian and got it around 15 minutes later. They make the noodles to order which is super impressive! I love the differing sizes and thickness of the noodles. We got mild and it was definitely enough for us for lunch--had a slight kick to it without making us sweat. It was a bit on the salty side and different from normal stir fry flavors but a great new dish to try! Definitely worth the value! read more

Stretch The Noodle - Chicken chao mian - Noodles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stretch the Noodle must not have been visited by any Michelin inspectors yet, because if they had, I'm pretty sure they'd be in the guide. Even though I grew up poor, I've been really blessed when it comes to food, because my mom and dad both worked in a lot of fancy restaurants, and then I worked in some fancy restaurants, and then I became Yelp Elite in my 20s. I've experienced way more than my fair share of gourmet meals. That being said, this was one of the most high-quality meals I've ever tasted. I had actually come to the Midtown Beer Garden in search of a different food cart, but after walking around and smelling everything, this is where I landed. I ordered the #2- Chao mian-- hand stretched noodles with vegetables, medium heat, with chicken. I was fortunate that there was no line, and it took less than ten minutes to receive my food. I think the woman who took my order may have been the owner. The chef handed me an open box with napkins and chop stix. I didn't see any forks, so I didn't ask. I closed the box for just a minute or two while walking to my car, which was enough to darken the spinach a tiny bit, but it was still green when it was handed to me. The presentation was beautiful. The swirl of caramel colored hand-stretched noodles made the perfect backdrop for the rainbow of crisp chopped carrots, purple cabbage, spinach, bell peppers, and mushrooms. The chicken was out of this world. The flavor was marinated down into every single pore of flesh, and the skin was perfectly seared. The hand-pulled noodles had almost kind of a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The chili oil had a very complex and fresh flavor. Even though it took me all day to finish the box of food, it never lost its flavor. It still tasted amazing when I polished off the last few bites right before bed. According to the internet, this food cart just opened up recently in 2016, and the couple has already been talking publicly about selling and retiring. If they do, I hope that an aspiring young talented chef buys them out or something, because this food tastes like it deserves to stay alive. read more

Got the #1 La Mian and it was all I wanted it to be and more. Because the noodles are hand-pulled, there's a slight mix of thin and thick noodles which i personally LOVED. Super generous portion as well. Next time I would get Mild -- I got Medium spicy level and it was spicier than I thought it would be (I was overconfident because I'm Southeast Asian lol). Beef was soooo tender. The staff was super friendly too :) read more

I ordered the BIANG BIANG XXXTRA spicy and might have seriously messed up with that... the noodles were EXCESSIVELY SALTY. Like EXCESSIVELY!!! I had to add two bags arugula and tofu and avocado to balance it out. It was too much sodium. read more

I have been wanting to try this! More to try over time. Everything looked so good. I was drawn in by watching them hand pull the noodles. Pretty sure nothing in GF I had chao mian, with tofu. It was thinly slights and grilled? Pan fried? Toasted? Flavored well and sooo good. I have never had it like that! It was a generous serving and a decent price. I have left overs so it is lunch x2! read more

I had a strong craving for spicy, hand-pulled noodles, so Stretch the Noodle was my first stop after landing in Portland. Stretch that Noodle is located in a beer garden / food truck park with lots of delicious-sounding food options, but I knew exactly what I was looking for. When I arrived at lunchtime, there wasn't a line to order, but the wait for the noodles was nearly 20 minutes - probably because each meal is hand-pulled to order. Once I picked up my food, I grabbed a seat at the picnic tables in the center. The noodles tasted super fresh and perfectly chewy, and the sauce packed a punch that balanced heat and tanginess. I'd definitely order these noodles again - or try one of their other menu items. read more

At a glance: Would recommend: Yes Would go again: Yes Food quality: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Options available: 4/5 Price: 5/5 Decor/Vibes: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Friendliness of staff: 5/5 Pros: This place was a great deal and the food was made rather quickly! The service was also very nice and friendly! Cons: Parking was a bit tough since it's in the city and I imagine it can get quite busy during busier hours. Overall: 4.9/5 I got the Biang Biang noodles as it was recommended by a friend and it was so worth going out of my way to get!! It was so delicious and much much better than I was expecting it to be. I was worried because I like having something more than just noodles in my meals but it the sauce/oil was so flavorful and the noodles, which I believe are handmade, were so good. My parented and I split it but I was still a bit hungry afterwards, which makes sense though as it wasn't large enough for both of us to fill up on one order. Def wish I got another though. Would recommend. Would go again. read more

Stretch The Noodle - Biang Biang noodle - Noodles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My first visit here and I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles. I must say, I haven't had a lot of opportunities to have freshly pulled noodles in this town. I know of several places, but this is one of very few that I want to revisit (I actually returned the next day after I recommended it to a friend). I know these aren't the original owners of this cart. I wasn't sure how good it would be because I think the original owners set the bar high on quality. But they retired before I could try them out. Anyway, the new owners are friendly and the food is generously portioned and tastes fantastic! I work only a few blocks away. So I'm definitely coming back for more. They're part of the Mid-Town Beer Garden. There are several great carts here (from what people tell me). So make sure to leave room for noodles whenever you're at this pod. read more

Stretch The Noodle - Biang Biang + spicy sauce - Noodles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Really good noodles & HUGE portions & dirt cheap. That's the main point if u don't wanna read more but I will go on anyway. From reading past reviews, sounds like the last guy owner was very mean & confrontational to customers so I was a little sad he is gone now bc I was hoping for a show w/ my lunch. But I guess polite & respectful is fine too... But they still here even after SOOO many complaints so that has to say something about the food ‍ even the 1 star reviews admit the food is still good lol 1st time I came, I tried the Biang Biang noodles and was sooo disappointed, they were wide flat noodles tossed in chili sauce w/ sesame seeds and literally NOTHING ELSE, so boring tasting. I literally gave the rest to a homeless guy after a couple bites which is crazy for me, I always finish my food even if I don't like it. But very glad I came again to try bc I thought maybe I just ordered the wrong thing - I enjoyed the Chao Mian (not chow mein cuz noodles are soft) and La Mian (beef noodle soup). - Beef noodle soup is one of the best I've had: such tender plentiful beef and delightfully bouncy but not too chewy noodles. It had Szechuan peppercorn flavor & some greens like cilantro & spinach which is unlike other Chinese beef noodle soups I'm used to but I liked it. And I asked for the most spicy & it actually made me sweat but wasn't crazy. - Chao Mian: dry stir fry, very good but could've been more stir fried. Though I don't think it's really a stir fry dish as that would've kind of ruined the freshness of the noodles. Soup is way to go IMO. Still need to try the cold noodle salad dish tho. Also P.S - not sure why so many ppl are complaining about having to wait 15-20 min for food.. that is regular amount of time to cook any meal to order besides McDonald's, I'm not sure what you are expecting...especially from a food cart w/ 2, sometimes 1 employee. read more

I love hand pulled noodles but this place did not hit for me. I got the dan dan noodles because it's a classic dish but they added pickled carrots and daikons which was odd because it's not traditional to add those ingredients in. It did not have the peanut flavor I was searching for and it was quite disappointing. This place was on top of my list to try in Portland. I didn't even finish it and I always finish my plates. It was lacking in flavors and it did not sit well with my palate. The service was good, you order through their food cart and that's where you pick up your orders too. We're in an open seated areas where anyone can enjoy their meal in peace with long tables. So, if you don't like sharing your tables, I suggest you get it to go or stand up and eat your meal. I wouldn't come back and I was really looking forward to this restaurant. read more

Wow. What a tasty lunch! I got it medium spicy. The chicken was delicious as were the stir-fried veggies but the noodles are definitely the star of this dish (#2 Chao Mian). Will definitely be back.

Will definitely come back to Stretch the Noodle! read more

Stretch The Noodle - #2 Chao Mian with Chicken. - Noodles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Had a great little lunch at Stretch yesterday with some friends. I got the Biang Biang Noodles and they were fantastic! Great, springy texture with a good amount of chew. I go them medium heat and it was right on the edge of being too spicy for me. I do wish there was an option to get a protein added into them because just the noodles was a little one note. The pork dumplings unfortunately weren't my favorite. The wrapper was great and chewy and had a good sear, but the filling was unpleasantly tough and dense. I don't mind a stuffed dumpling, but the inside felt like it was overworked and had become really firm in a bad way. Would definitely come back, just wouldn't get the dumplings again. read more

One of the best food carts downtown and my most frequented. Delicious hand pulled noodles tossed with chili oil, meat, and veg. Simple. Well priced. Large portions. I consider myself a spicy food dude but I usually order "Medium" for heat. Wait time's usually not too long but if it's busy get comfy. It'll be worth the wait. Things have still been good since the change in ownership last year. Biggest complaint is there's a bit more variance in the noodles where sometimes they come out softer then I'd like but most of the things that make this cart great have stayed the same. Would be nice if they served drinks though. I almost always order the Chao Mian but the La Mian is also fantastic for a soupier mood. Biang-biang is great but left me wanting meat and veggies. Dan Dan is eh but I had it sans peanuts (allergy) so I feel like it's just not for me. If you're in the midtown beer garden it's really either this or Tokyo Sando. Both of their respective quality and value dwarfs all the other carts I've tried there so far. If you're really in the mood for another cuisine then follow your heart but mine lives at Stretch The Noodle. read more

Huge portions for the serving sizes! Definitely a great place if you like spicy. We had the pork dumplings, dan dan noodles, and beef noodle soup.

Noodles were delicious and very flavorful. Everything is made to order. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Food carts are a big deal in Portland and this was one of the ones I kept hearing about. They specialize in freshly made, hand-pulled Chinese noodle dishes which is something you don't see often. They're located downtown so the surrounding area isn't great, but the Midtown Beer Garden food cart pod that they're located in is a nice spot for lunch. There was a short line when we arrived on a Thursday afternoon and it moved pretty quickly. But then it took about 20-25 min. to get our food. We ordered La Mian ($12) and Chao Mian with Chicken and Shrimp ($14). Both were good sized portions that could be shared. The la mian is a beef noodle soup and it came out piping hot. It was tasty with veggies and chunks of tender beef. The chao mian is stir-fried noodles and you can choose what protein you want. The shrimp were large and cooked well. If I could've had all shrimp instead of chicken, I would've gotten that. Overall it was flavorful but also very spicy, and we only asked for mild spice. Maybe my expectations were too high but the noodles were not as soft and chewy as I was hoping they'd be. I also understand these are handmade noodles so they aren't going to be uniform but some of the noodles were too thick and doughy. If you're in the area, it's worth trying out this food cart as long as you can handle spicy food. read more

When visiting PDX over the years , I always wanted to try Stretch the Noodle but could never catch them. Their hours are M-F. I was finally able to try them this year and every time I ate the noodles my husband brought them to me and they were cold but so delicious. This visit I tried them fresh and hot and omg they are even better hot and fresh. The man taking the orders was friendly and offered us some more to go containers for sharing. The lady is right there hand "stretching " the noodles. Doesn't get any better than that. We had the chow mian with tofu x2 and a Biang Biang beware anything beyond mild is fairly spicy we had a medium spice and that was pretty spicy and I enjoy spicy food. I personally do not like sitting at this pod because of the birds but they had a good performer singing and playing the bass I think. read more

I visited Stretch the Noodle not too long ago and grabbed the Biang Biang Noodles. The portion size is quite large with a ton of chili oil. For the price, it was definitely worth it as it feeds about 2-3 adults.

Seems almost redundant to review what's considered one of the elite food carts in Portland. Ashamed to say it took me too many years to make my way to it, and I felt even more embarrassed when I discovered that it not only lived up to but exceeded the hype. First, let me say how much I love the menu's simplicity. It's got what, 4-5 items on the menu? I love that. They know what they excel at, they know what you're coming to them for. The menu looks like it was hand written on a chalkboard that hasn't been touched in years. I love it! To me, it's like they're saying "This is old school, traditional, tried and tested, authentic food - take it or leave it". No marketing needed when the word of mouth is so spectacular. And my god, I wasn't expected for my eye brows to shoot up with surprise when I took the first bite. At first glance, I was expecting the noodles to taste like Szechuan food I'd had before, but I was wrong. The "Biang Biang" noodles had this flavor that just RIPPED right through me like an electric current. I felt like my hair was standing up! I still don't know what it was: the sesame seeds dotting every carefully hand shaven noodle? The hot oil sauce? Or was it the garlic vinegar? I think it was the vinegar because damn, what a zing! How often can you say you've had FUN eating food? This was such an experience that I was ready to drive directly to PDX and fly to China immediately. read more

Stretch The Noodle - Dumpling and Biang Biang - Noodles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I absolutely love the cold noodle salad. It's one of the best dishes I've ever gotten. - The noodles are great. You could tell they make em fresh. You can even _see_ it if you peek behind the counter. The right about of chewiness to 'em. I also like the heterogeneity: not every noodle is the same thickness. - The chicken is some of the best I've ever eaten. Seriously. Chicken breast is hard to get right. There's a narrow range where it's good. When it's overcooked, even slightly, it's pretty nasty. I also really need there to be some nice char and crisp on the outside. Stretch the Noodle just absolutely nails it every time. - The flavors are so awesome. It's a vinegar-y taste. I think they use black vinegar. That's the main flavor. But it also has just the right amount of salt: not enough to really come through on it's own, at least not if you don't explicitly look for it, but enough to make it taste "seasoned" and bring the other flavors out. Some good spice. The right amount of fat/oil, and I think maybe some sesame. I dunno. But if you like tangy, vinegar-y flavors, you need to get this dish. - The crunch and variety you get from the vegetables is awesome. They're fresh and provide a great textural and color contrast. - Overall I feel like this is a pretty healthy dish. Which is actually pretty important. Also noteworthy: - The service is great. The lady who interfaces with customers is always friendly and greets you with a smile. - The dish is only like $12.. - They aren't trying to nickle and dime you. The tip amounts start at 10%. I can't recall the last time I've seen that. Water bottles are also only a dollar. I find this to be refreshing; it adds to the overall experience. Stretch The Noodle is definitely up there as one of my favorite places in Portland, and given that their cold noodle salad is healthy and affordable, I think I'll be returning pretty frequently. read more

Really great noodles and a variety of styles, along with very tender and flavorful meat and veg. What's not to like in the Chou Mein here? I usually avoid Chou Mein for being too Americanized, but this version is full of flavor, all kinds of veggies and really tasty marinated meat. The portion is massive, enough for 2 or even 3 and for $13 that's a heck of a deal! I will try the La Mein next time. The noodles on top were perfect, stretchy and toothsome! As I dug down, noodles became a bit more... well done, losing that stretch and chew. Not sure if that meansChao Mian they were overdone or just that's the nature of the beast that noodles continue to cook because your food is most definitely steaming hot when you get it. They didn't have diet soda, so I got a rice lager at the beer cart. Perfect pairing to the Medium spicy I chose. So many other great carts here too, ranging from the usual gyros and shawarma to some very different-looking Mexican and Indian choices. Shockingly busy here at 2:30 on a Wednesday afternoon. Come on down! read more

This food cart is located in a very nice, fairly new food cart "pod" in downtown Portland. The pod has a lot of seating, shade, and easily accessible trash and recycling. Stretch has a fairly short menu; there are only about half a dozen items. Still, it's one of the most popular (if not the most popular) carts in the pod, and there was a line the whole time I was there. The menu is fairly authentic for what you would find in the Chengdu area of China. I ordered the Biang Biang noodles, and the flavor really brought me back to my visit there. The noodles were fresh and tasted great. The only thing I would say, and the reason I left off a star, is that the potion was a bit small for $12. Still, I would definitely come back here again, it's really, really yummy! read more

I was dying to try these noodles after seeing them on Tiktok as I'm a HUGE noodle fan. My boyfriend picked up the biang biang and dan dan noodles and we had a picnic. First, the portions are HUGE. For a lunch, I could say that two people could easily eat one noodle portion (+ maybe an appetizer) and be satisfied. The noodles are thick and there's plenty of sauce and meat in the portions too. The biggest thing I would like to note is that these should be definitely eaten right away. Although I don't think it was very long between when my boyfriend brought them/when we ate them (probably around 30-40 minutes), the noodles already became a bit too hard for my liking. (And, when it's re-heated it's definitely not the same either). The sauce was also okay in my opinion, but I can definitely see others really liking it! Overall, I love how much thought and work is put into these noodles (especially with their portions) and although it's not my favorite, I would recommend them to someone! read more

Calling all noodle lovers to Downtown Portland! I've been dying to try Biang Biang noodles from Stretch the Noodle and I finally got to not too long ago! I got the Biang Biang noodles and Dan Dan noodles to share with my siblings for lunch. Stretch the Noodle's new location is at the Midtown Beer Garden now and it's the perfect spot for lunch on a nice and sunny day. The Biang Biang noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy while the Dan Dan noodle's sauce was a sweet and spicy delight!

First off it's so fun watching the owner hand pull the noodles and slap them around. They definitely taste like fresh noodles with the perfect amount of chew! However the sauce was quite deadly. I like to think for the most part I can handle spice up until the point where it's all you can taste. At first the sauce was delicious with loads of garlic and black vinegar, but after about 3 seconds you can feel the spice throughout your body in an uncomfortable way. And I ordered mild!! If you are a spice lover you should give these a try but if you are more sensitive to spice I would recommend trying something other than the chili oil noodles. Overall, I've heard about this restaurant for a while because they are some of the few people to hand pull noodles like that! I'm glad I tried it but might be ordering something more mild next time. read more
