I have been meaning to drive over here sometime and check out the food carts. It was just finishing construction about the same time we moved to the opposite side of the Gresham area. We've driven by here many times. Just never stopped. Again, my Boss suggested another cool place to eat. The Fairview Food Court. We had a meeting nearby and it was a perfect opportunity to check it out. Again, my Boss was correct. (She's kinda smart. I hope she doesn't follow my reviews and read any of this.) So many cool food carts. Lots of different foods. I walked around for a while. Eventually ended up struggling to decide between sushi and Bahn mi. It was a real struggle. The 2 carts are next to each other. I almost ordered from both but chose a Pork Belly Bahn MI sandwich. I didn't get a drink from here as it looked like they sold Bubble Tea..... that's all I'll say. I placed my order, took my pager, tipped and went and found my co-workers who had long since made their decisions and had already found seating indoors. Inside was plenty of seating and a Full Bar. I bought a couple cans of soda and waited for my food. It wasn't long before pagers started going off. I think we were a party of 7. Everything looked amazing. Each new dish opened made me want to go order it but I held back, barely. It did make me think of things I want to order next time I come here. Beep. Beep. Beep. Finally. My turn. I casually walked out to get my sandwich but not after I was handed, what I assumed at the time was a "Food Baby." As soon as it was near my face, the savory aroma of vegetables and meat wafted out like a siren. I was now on a mission. "Must Destroy Bahn MI Sandwich." I was now walking with purpose. I'm glad the food court hadn't gotten busy yet, I would have pushed people out of my way back to my area. That, or I would have gone "Savage" and just stood there eating and making direct eye contact. Luckily I didn't embarrass my Boss and made it safely back to my seat. Everyone was enjoying their food save for one. Miss S. is not a fan of spicy food. She asked for mild but sometimes Thai mild will still be above average. Thai food doesn't understand the word "mild." She's a trooper and did give it the Ole college try but ended up throwing half away. I however found my sandwich to be a little better than I had expected. My Pork Belly was a little sweet for my taste but don't get me wrong. I'm definitely going back and I'm definitely getting another one. The sandwich was about 12 bucks. No problem. I'm not kidding when I said it was huge. I didn't bring a tape measure with me but I would guess this Bahn MI to be a foot long sandwich. The bread was soft and a little crunchy. I ordered mine with everything. Apparently, everything means, Do you like Jalapeños? The cook asked me 3 times. He said customers get mad about Jalapeños. I laughed and said, Not me. The vegetables were crisp and I could have taken a shot of that sauce. The Pork was a little sweet but savory and you could taste the difference in textures. Like you could feel a little crunch from an edge piece or juices from a little fat or just all of it the meaty bites. I stopped caring about anything near me after I took some bites and a couple pics. The pics were difficult to do. I wanted to be alone. Just me, a couple sodas and this Bahn MI. Mostly because I knew I was going to make animal noises while I ate and I probably did because dang. That sandwich was awesome. I'm glad I didn't make any other orders. I was pretty full after that foot long sandwich and a couple sodas. Oh, will I be back? Uh, Definitely. If not only for another Pork Belly Bahn Mi... no wait. I'm going to go back and I'm definitely getting another Pork Belly Bahn MI, but as we were leaving, I noticed the Pho' cart. Glad I didn't see that one this time. I'm not capable of deciding between a Bahn Mi, Sushi or Pho'. I don't have the inner strength to make a single decision between the three. I would have definitely tried ordering from all three carts. So ya. I will be back. I've already made plans wit my wife. read more

Banh Mi Fusion PDX - The Pork Belly Mid Nom, nom, nom. - Food Trucks Near Me - Fairview, Oregon

See all

1 star -- would give 0 if possible). The employee was the worse I ever experienced from the Customer Service standpoint in my whole life!!! I visited this food cart this evening and had a very disappointing experience from both a food quality and customer service standpoint. First, the wait time was excessive -- about 25 minutes for a banh mi and calamari. That alone might have been tolerable if the interaction and food quality had been decent, but unfortunately, neither was. When I politely asked the kid with a "ugly bowl haircut" if my order was ready, the young sarcastic employee responded in a sarcastic tone: "Did your beeper ring yet?" When I said no, he replied, "EXACTLY (yelling) -- because it's not ready." That kind of dismissive, condescending response is completely unacceptable in any customer-facing role. I've NEVWR BEEN TREATED LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE. I approached and asked in a kind tone and manner and I'm Still shaken and taken aback! The interaction continued to escalate rather than de-escalate. When I questioned the long wait, he blamed being busy, yet there was no visible line. When my order was finally located, it had apparently been sitting there, and instead of acknowledging that, he continued the same sarcastic tone. There was zero accountability and no attempt at professional service. He said "I'll take sandwich back like it was a threat however, I said fine with me give me my money back first!" He didn't dare offer! As for the food: * The banh mi was overly salty and didn't resemble lemongrass chicken in flavor at all. It was drenched with nasty teriyaki sauce! This is something that the customer should fit on themselves If wanted! It was disgusting! * The calamari was extremely dry and not enjoyable I ended up throwing the food away. Stopped at the. Vietnamese food cart near the entrance and ordered food there was was extremely fresh, delicious, and nice owners with a smile! That's my spot! 100% To make matters worse, I had already left a 20% tip before receiving my food -- a mistake I won't repeat. This experience reinforced that tipping ahead of service is a gamble. The jerk didn't deserve 20% tip! Lesson learned!!! I also checked past reviews and noticed similar complaints going back a year: long wait times and poor customer service. That suggests a pattern, not a one-off incident. The food violations are public notice too. The owner should seriously evaluate who is representing their business. Poor service like this directly impacts reputation -- and it shows in the current rating. I will not be returning and would not recommend this place based on my experience. You lost a great customer for sure! read more

Banh Mi Fusion PDX - Horrible - Food Trucks Near Me - Fairview, Oregon

Came in today with my family. Not sure why the young fellow was angry at me for asking a simple question. He was unapologetic and was offended that i asked a simple question "how much longer for our food bro?" His response was appalling! He said, "if your device did not beep then I did not call you! So EXACTLY, it's Not ready!" Woooooooh Pablo!!! If I was using my Amex card I would've got every penny back! Our food was salty as hell. I can tolerate food being mediocre but when someone's attitude is lacking basic customer service skills.... I WILL GO ELSEWHERE! PDX is a known for its many choices! I will NEVER RETURN HERE! read more

I'm shocked to see the low reviews as this is my favorite place for Bahn Mi to the point that I make the trip across town when craving it. Never tried anything else but the Lemongrass pork with fresh jalapenos is very good. read more

I tried a pork Banh Mi sandwich from this food truck and was very disappointed with my experience. To begin with, my food took almost 30 minutes. The first person to help me was friendly enough but the person who gave me my order stated blankly at me and didn't say a word even though I told him thanks and have a good day. When I got it, i noticed that there was a section of sandwich at the back that had virtually no filing, so it was only bread. Then I noticed that the bread itself was really hard, as if it was stale. It made it kind of difficult to eat. I also got a strawberry lemonade and was not impressed by that either. It wasn't horrible but was not worth $7. The pork was cooked well and flavorful but the rest of the sandwich was pretty bland. For the sandwich, drink and a small tip, I paid almost $19 for lunch. With the wait and quality of food I received, I wouldn't go again for half that. read more

Banh Mi Fusion PDX - Food Trucks Near Me - Fairview, Oregon

Tried a different place at the food carts today. The menu looked tasty. I ordered the short ribs and a side of tempura shrimp. The short ribs were good. They came with a generous side of rice and an egg. The rice was cooked perfectly. The shrimp however was thin, overcooked and crusty. If it were part of the meal it would have been one thing but I paid 10 bucks for them. Not good at all. The coffee drink with honey boba was better than bobalastic just a few yards down. Delicious. read more

Worst place to buy banh mi. Took them 30mins to make a sandwich and deep fry calamari. Nobody else bought from them..... I can see why. Would never buy again as the portion of calamari for $12 is criminal. Sandwich was okay. read more

Banh Mi Fusion PDX - Got lemon grass sandwich and calamari salt and peppered - Food Trucks Near Me - Fairview, Oregon

The place is a dive. The inside of the restaurant is dark. I ordered Banh mi, it was so so.

My partner and I LOVE this place. We've been here multiple times and always leave satisfied, however the last two times we've gone there has been a young man with a mullet working and we've had a negative experience every time. The first time we went around 30+ mins before close, sign said open and he said he wasn't taking anymore orders due to prepping for the next day. If that's a rule why not turn your sign off? The next time same guy was working I was hesitant but ordered anyway. We ordered two sandwiches (4:00pm) didn't receive them for over 20+ mins (4:32pm) to get the sandwiches. When I got home I opened the sandwich just to see (photo below) it's supposed to be a beef sandwich but it might as well be a jalapeño sandwich. These sandwiches are usually loaded with so much beef it is falling out. If you are in the mood for this place and see that young man working just turn around and leave. He also takes forever to come to the window and has a young girl always in the back that can clearly see the window but is always looking down at her phone and will refuse to acknowledge you. read more

Banh Mi Fusion PDX - Beef sandwich - Food Trucks Near Me - Fairview, Oregon

Nasty. Food is advertised VERY differently than how it actually looks when you get it. They also take forever to get you your food but you can see them in the window doing nothing but hit their vapes and snack on food. read more
