I continue to be a fan of Tan's Happy Kitchen! The staff is always friendly and helpful. The truck and area is clean with no concerns. I called in my order which was ready when I arrived. We had ordered the orange chicken and general tao previously and as good as it had been. The shrimp fried rice was big and had quite a few shrimp. Good veggies and flavor. The beef chow fun was excellent! The beef was super tender and flavorful. The noodles and veggies included were great. These are big portions and I definitely over ordered. I'll be happily enjoying leftovers read more

Fast, friendly and good sized portions for the price. Basic, no frills Chinese, overall pretty healthy and not greasy. I Order the Broccoli Beef (w/o mushrooms) and the House Special Fried Rice. Very Satisfying. I give the food 4 Stars but overall 5 stars read more

This place is great. Really sad it's not on door dash anymore. Wonderful portions for the price! Good food.

Decided to check out Tan's happy kitchen for lunch. Really glad that I did! I like that they have a variety of dishes available, including lunch, specials, and combination specials! I ordered the combination plate with teriyaki chicken and chicken lo mein. Definitely delicious and had a good price point. Also, really enjoyed the woman who took my order. I believe she is the owner? She was really sweet! read more

The Lemon chicken was soggy. Maybe because it was delivered by Uber Eats. The rice and broccoli chicken were just ok. The soup only comes in one size and it's huge. It was pretty good. read more

Ordered the Mongolian beef over rice and got a box full of onions. You can traverse the entire globe and won't find someone that loves onions as much as me. However, I ordered "Mongolian beef" not "Mongolian onions". They did make my order fresh so that's a plus. read more

Tan's Happy Kitchen - Maybe 6-7 pieces of beef and probably an entire onion or two. - Caterers Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

Happy to have discovered this cart! Exterior is clean and they follow safety protocols. Check out the specials menu. The teriyaki Chicken bento box was the perfect portion, flavoeful, and really brought back the home cooked feeling. Mm! Many people were ordering meals for pick up while we waited. We can't wait to come back to try the other dishes! read more

Uh... what? The flavors from this place were ridiculous! We ordered a nice Tuesday night meal. We held low to no expectations about the experience going into it, but were quickly slapped across our dang faces when the food arrived. Crispy frying, perfect salt level, hot to warm upon arrival, portion sizes are exceptional, and sauce in all the right places. This cart is so worth it!! Highly recommend sesame chicken, potstickers, and fried rice with anything. The frying was still crispy when it got to our place... yes, your mouth is drooling. Our new favorite place to eat at off 82nd! read more

I recently discovered on Uber and thought I'd give a try based on reviews. I am so glad I discovered your amazing food! Everything is so fresh with great flavors, not greasy, and over battered. If you love egg foo yung, this is the best! I'm a frequent returning customer! read more

My favorite place for take out right now!! Haven't had anything bad here! Food and service are great. In a rush call your order in ahead of time. Wonton soup serving was enough to feed multiple people. Broccoli beef is a great mix of great tasting beef and perfectly cooked veggies. Egg rolls, shrimp fried rice, and the chicken lo mein are all winners! The breading on the sweet and sour chicken is SO good! Can't decide what to get look at the combo plates. This place is SO consistent. read more

This is seriously bussin Chinese food. It's my favorite place to get Chinese food, the older woman who is always there is so nice. Their food tastes like it's made with love, you won't regret getting food here. read more

Good quality food - orange chicken, pot stickers and spring rolls were all delicious. Fried rice is simple but very good as well. Definitely would order again. read more

What a good find! We stopped by Bubble Bar to get some boba drinks, and the owner of Tan's Happy Kitchen approached us to offer us a menu. The items were tempting enough for us to give it a try, and we're happy that we did! There are nine crab puffs in an order, the most I've ever seen in an order anywhere, and they are quite good. The potstickers were probably the tastiest we've ever had, and the egg rolls were very tasty and fresh! The owners are extraordinarily nice, and gave use the egg rolls on the house as a bonus gift with our order. The General Tso's chicken was nice and crispy, and very tasty. The chicken fried rice was good, but not great. Nice bonuses were the good quantities and varieties of sauces, plenty of napkins, and the very high quality to-go containers. The owner also frequently checked in on us as we dined, and offered other sauces to accompany our meals. We'll definitely be back! read more

I've found it pretty hard to find good Chinese food. My search is done! This is by FAR the best I have ever had. You can taste the fresh ingredients in the food. I got the veggie lo me in and veggie friend rice while my husband got the orange chicken combo with kung pao chicken and we both still have enough for another meal! Great portions. We will for sure order here again! read more

Really nice portion sizes for the price, and everything tastes fresh and clean- not like month old grease. We tried the beef n broccoli, and orange chicken. Both were very good, and I can't wait to try some more from their menu! This place is definitely better than any Chinese restaurants in the area-- they've taken my #1 seat over Jumbo Lounge and Wan Lung! read more

Hands down the best Schezuan food in PDX. There is one other In Beaverton near Providence Hospital , but this one is great. Lunch until 3pm is reasonably priced and I like the Beef Broccoli but may try something different next time. read more

Tan's now has combination entrees that you can make to your preference. It has 10+ options to choose from and big portions too. Very good value for money. read more

Stopped by to pick up dinner and was blown away at the portions and the flavor of the dishes. Pot stickers were slightly crispy and flavorful. Mongolian beef was just hot enough to be tasty but not overwhelming. All in all really enjoyed the meals much more than any of the other full restaurants in the area. I will be back. read more

Very slow service. You would think that if you have several people waiting in the rain that you would have some sort of sense of urgency. While I waited half an hour at 6pm on a Friday, I saw two people return their orders for being incorrect. Personally I'll never return. read more

Lazy Sunday and in the mood for Chinese I quickly looked at what my options were gong to be on Postmates. Usually when I'm looking at new places I'll check out their yelp pictures to see if the food looks good. We decided to go with this place since it looked good and they offered combination style food it was an easy pick. I went with Generals Chicken and Lemon Chick with rice and the wife had Lo Mein and Green Been Chicken with rice. So the food arrived and I thought "why's this bag so heavy???". The portions they give you is huge but man it was pretty good. Sometimes I've found that with chicken dishes they sometimes come out over fried but I couldn't find that in my order. This place has easily became my new favorite Chinese place to order from. read more

Tasty food! Fresher veggies than I'm used to in American Chinese food. REALLY kind employees!

I've been to this place a bunch of times now, and waited for a while to write this review because I wanted them to earn their five stars. You can go to a food cart once and have a great experience, but go back again and again and you start to see what they're really about. The couple who run this cart are so nice. The woman always greets me with a big smile and knows instantly who I am, even after just my second visit. I'm a bit picky when it comes to certain ingredients and she remembers exactly how I like my food every time. The dishes are reasonably priced and you get plenty of food. Each time she hands me my to go bag, I am always surprised by the sheer weight of the food. One dish can easily feed two people, but try some variety, because I've yet to get a bad dish. The food is fresh, tasty, well cooked and always filling. As I mentioned, I've been here a bunch of times and they have yet to make a single mistake on any order, and they are always open as advertised, which in Portland can be a challenge when visiting food carts. Great food, great owners, great location, easy parking, check them out. read more

Found this place on DoorDash and now it's our go to for Chinese food!! Always on point every time, no matter what we've had it's always been delicious with great portions. It's been really difficult to find delicious consistent Chinese food here, thank you Tan's for ending our search! Definitely recommend the house special lo mein and the general tsao, always yummy. read more

Love it! I recommend the Teriyaki Chicken and the pot stickers are soooo good!!!!!The fried rice is also a must have!!!! read more

Portions are generous and the food is super tasty. It's very fresh and well prepared, probably the best quality American-style Chinese I've had in Portland. My only critique is that I wish the menu was a little bit less limited; my favorite staples (Walnut Shrimp and BBQ Spare Ribs) are not available here. It's a bummer because I think they'd absolutely murder those dishes (in a good way). However, I do so totally understand that limiting the menu helps with quality, so... Keep on keeping on, Tan's. read more

I was craving some chicken so I went ahead and ordered the sesame chicken and white rice. It was Litteraly one of the best chicken I've had in such a long time!!! Like wow! Please go ahead and order from here if you have not, because your truly missing out. I will definitely come back to try there other food options. read more

Would have given a full 5 stars if I had a better first impression. It was my first time getting food here and I had heard good things. I ordered the sesame chicken and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. 35 minutes later, I'm still waiting with a hungry belly, everyone else who ordered before AND after me has already gotten their food and left. The woman whom I assume was the owner was rude to a few customers that ordered while I was waiting and seemed very unorganized with peoples orders and what goes to who. Once I finally got my food, they did give me a free drink for the wait, so at least they tried to make up for it. The food is good, but I'd suggest ordering ahead of time just in case they make you wait forever. read more

Amazing food! Tan's Happy Kitchen is my go-to Chinese food cart. The food is always fresh and delicious. I always call ahead so that my food is ready to go when I get there. Everything is delicious, make sure you try the spring rolls and wontons! read more

great chinese food, it's hard to find in portland! would recommend orange chicken and crab puffs. happy i found this place.

This is probably my favorite Chinese food place, don't judge from the outside, their food is so delicious. Portion sizes are generous, good price, and they make it easy to do a pick-up order. I love the house special lo mein and all other dishes with vegetables. read more

Best Chinese food I've found in Portland. Great prices, great quality. On postmates and uber eats. Always on time or early. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I love this food cart. My go to order is the general tso chicken with egg fried rice. The chicken is always tasty and perfectly cooked and the sauce is so good! The portions are super generous too. The cart is super clean and organized and the customer service is awesome, the people and food always make me happy. read more

Food was ready quick and was delicious! The truck is very clean and staff are friendly. We had the crab puffs, general tao's chicken, sweet and sour chicken and veggie lo mein. Will definitely be going back!! read more

Absolutely delicious! My wife and stepson are Chinese, and they really liked it also. I can't wait to go back. Welcome to the neighborhood!

We came here because it's conveniently located close to our home. We usually go to the nearby chain restaurant for take- out Chinese, but today we decided to try Tan's. What a pleasant surprise it was! The 2 combination dinners for $10 each that we ordered gave generous portions of 2 entrees, as well as steamed rice. The chicken was tender, & there was an abundance of fresh, tasty vegetables. We also ordered potstickers, which were some of the BEST we've had in a long time- perfect texture of outer dough shell, & a balance of fresh flavors inside. The wait time after ordering our meals was a bit long, so next time we'll call our order ahead & then drive over to pick it up. But the quality of the food makes it well worth the wait, & better than being stuck in long lines at the nearby chain restaurant! read more

This is my family's favorite choice for take out dinner! Delicious food and big portions for the price. Yum!

This truck is awesome! Great food friendly service all meals come with a drink and they will walk your food to your car. The only complaint is the truck itself is a little tucked away in the lot which isn't their fault just circumstance. read more

I've been looking for a new Chinese food place and I'm so happy that I found this gem! Owners are very friendly and the food and absolutely delicious! I've come about once a week since I've found it and don't plan on slowing down. read more

The owners are absolutely delightful. Some of the best service I've gotten anywhere! Finally decided to eat here after being offered a sample while grabbing a bubble tea at a neighboring food cart a few weeks ago. I had the sweet and sour chicken and it was top notch. Just the right amount of breading, nice white meat chicken, and the sauce was SO good!! The goofed up my order (forgot the sauce) but when I came back they not only made it right but gave my some free spring rolls, which were also delicious. So happy this place is close by because I'll definitely be back. read more
