Visiting Portland and had to get in some Thai food tonight! Stopped by cartopia and was delighted to be greeted by John who was super friendly and gave some recommendations. I had the satay chicken fried rice and it was amazing. Just right on point with flavors, and fresh veggies. Chicken satay was flavorful too. I think the peanut sauce could be thicker, but that's just personal preference. Neat cart with a constant line, and absolutely stellar food, check them out!! Very well decorated and located, easy to find!
Really tastey food and big portion for the price. I had the Street Pad Thai with tofu (which was vegetarian) but I loved that they had a vegan version too with soy curls and no egg - I'll have to try that next time. Service was fast and friendly and the seating area was cute. Even on a rainy day, there was plenty of covered seating - there was a ton of benches in a heated tent and some outside seating with a little roof and fire pit. Can't wait to come back.
This was one of the better looking carts at Cartopia and we wanted to try as many different carts as possible, so we chose BKK Pad Thai and ordered the chicken satay pad Thai. To be honest it was good but not amazing or anything. They were very accommodating to my nut allergy by not including peanuts per our request, which I appreciated. The flavor was good but again, didn't quite blow me away.
A delectable pad Thai, they were out of bean sprouts so compensated it with steamed broccoli that tasted equally good on the warm sweet nutty pad-Thai. We barely made it under at the closing time. However, they were generous to take our order. I would give them 11/10 for their service and food. Casual ambience and good food. The place definitely deserves a return and would recommend them to everyone.
For a place with "pad thai" in it's name, the pad thai wasn't actually very good. The noodles were underwhelming. They weren't those flat noodles, they were skinny and round. Kinda slippery. Not firm, and too thin to have any bite to them anyway. I didn't get much flavor from the sauce either. I also didn't like the tofu. I appreciated it's inclusion, but it was the soft tofu. My understanding is that that yellow extra-extra firm tofu is traditional, but this wasn't even the normal American (extra) firm. I also would have appreciated roasted peanuts for some crunch. The pad thai had carrots and cabbage. I don't love either in pad thai. It's not that it affected the dish too much though, it's more that I see it as a red flag. It reminds me of when this other place only had lemon, not lime. It's not actually that big a deal, but it's a red flag. Or in this case, an orange and purple flag. The chicken satay was pretty good though. The chicken was juicy and cooked nicely. And the peanut sauce was really nice. PS: A pet peeve of mine is how the pad thai was served on top of tin foil. I guess maybe that does a better job of keeping the food warm, but I always feel nervous that I'm gonna break off a piece of tin foil with my fork and eat it by accident. And I feel like I'm probably not alone here.
Super cute food truck! Menu has selection of fried rices and pad Thai as well as a few appetizers. Reasonably priced, portions are very generous. Would definitely come back!
Delicious pad Thai! Probably one of the best I've had. The wait is a bit long but you won't regret it!
I'm kind of done with subtlety when it comes to naming places. Just tell me what you have that's good and I'll get it. I love pad Thai. My favorite was this place by PSU which apparently crumbled due to unsavory business practices but I determined it would never meet its match. The noodles were thin not thick. One if my other favorite places in Milwaukie does a thick noodle, but thin? More surface area. Kind of genius. The pad Thai was tasty. I like mine sweet. I guess it was sweet enough but not like my old favorite. Since it wasn't craveable I had my heart set on four stars. Then I tried the chicken skewer with the sauce. Yum. Mega yum. I would get this again just for the skewer and the sauce. I even had thoughts about the sauce that night. It's settled. Five stars
Was in the area after a comedy show and needed something to eat. Our group wanted something more than what was offered at the next place we went to... Luckily Cartlandia was just a block away. I haven't been here in year's. I'm glad some of my favorites are still here. I saw BKK as we walked by the 1st time. I wasn't walking by a second time without buying something. First choice on the menu, my favorite, Street Pad Thai with Tofu. At $11.00. Um. Must have now. I paid electronically. I was handed a pager and a few minutes later, I was holding my dreams. The wait for everyone in our group to get their food and then walk back to the pirate hangout we went to was brutal. After some rearranging of tables and drinks ordered, I began to maul my yummy Pad Thai. I barely looked up from bite 1 to the last bite. I now need to ask my Thai place near me, why their Pad Thai is $5.00 more? Same kind of Togo container. Well for one. BKK is unfortunately a bit of a drive from my house but I know for a fact, that each time I'm in the area, I'm getting Street Pad Thai from BKK. Maybe after a dozen or so visits, I'll try the second thing on the menu. The Tofu Pad Thai here at BKK is amazing. Im jealous of the people who live near here. They can just come here whenever they like and get anything they want from Cartlandia.
We came to this food cart pod based on the recommendation of a friend who works at Saint Burrito. She said BKK had great vegan options, highly recommended the Curry Puffs and said they were great people. Well all those things were accurate. I'm not a fan of Pad Thai. Ever. I don't like the heavy peanut butter flavor. It's slathered and sticky and not for me. But BKK doesn't have that kind of Pad Thai. Theirs is sticky and full of fresh vegetables, crunch and topped with peanuts. But the flavor to me is great. I have never liked a single Pad Thai I've had but this is balanced. Has a delicate peanut flavor not a punch in the palate. The spring rolls they have are excellent. Fresh and full of flavor. Fried but not greasy. That's the important part to me. Fried to be crispy not full of oil. So it wasn't heavy. But the Curry Puffs. Y'all. Oh. They are a DO NOT MISS. So packed with flavor. It reminded me of an empanada but with curry. And again, fried, but not heavy and not greasy. My son, who just turned 6, loves Thai food. He chose BKK for his birthday lunch. So we went for our second visit. The only new thing, which was literally devoured so quickly I couldn't take a picture, was Taro Puff. Y'all. I. Can't. Even. It was like a dessert. Crispy, crunchy, flaky and sweet. Perfect. So good. Please please BKK keep that on the menu!! All in all we love it and we will absolutely be back!
"The best pad thai i've ever had" -my boyfriend he will not stop asking me to go back to this place, but honestly we haven't had the time. The food cart pod was super cute overall, a lot of tables and shade and not super busy. We'll DEFINITELY have to return.

This is my first time at Cartopia. After a long trip from California, I was craving some comfort food and this place did not disappoint. We ordered two dishes: the crispy chicken curry and the crispy chicken pad Thai both really hit the spot. The chicken was perfectly fried and the curry had the right amount of spice. The pad Thai was filling and refreshing. The service was a little slow but food is worth the wait. This place gives you the feel of eating street food in Thailand. check it out read more

My cousin and I recently split the chicken satay pad Thai from this BKK Pad Thai food cart at Cartopia, and it was amazing. Cartopia is a small food cart court, with only about 8 food carts. Just across the street is Hawthorne Asylum, which has 20 more food carts. Even though they are both small, Cartopia and Hawthorne Asylum are two of the more popular, well-known food courts in Portland. It was super crowded. We felt lucky to find a place to sit. The tables were bright, funky colors, like pink and purple, and the sky was lit up with a ceiling of fairy lights. The menu at BKK Pad Thai is on the smaller side, and is very heavily focused on Pad Thai. There are basically four different kinds of Pad Thai, with a few options for rice and appetizers. Except for the vegan option, all of the other Pad Thai options included egg (and tofu). I normally don't eat eggs (or tofu), but I can tolerate little bits of it on salad and noodles. We ended up deciding to split the Chicken Satay Pad Thai, which comes with noodles, tofu, eggs, bean sprouts, garlic chives, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, lime, cilantro, chicken satay, and peanut sauce. It was the best Pad Thai I've ever had in my life. It was the best chicken satay I've ever had in my life. I had imagined that the chicken satay would be chopped up and incorporated into the Pad Thai, but it was served on skewers on top of the noodles. All of the ingredients were so fresh and delicious and perfectly spiced. I honestly didn't even really notice the tofu or egg. 10/10 would eat here again. read more

Street Pad Thai: The noodles were a little too undercooked, causing it to be chewy. Their Pad Thai was on the sweeter side and not super umami. They did have a good amount of toppings though - I got a topping with every bite. However, the raw carrots and cabbage were unconventional, which I found a little strange. read more
Yummy pad thai in the Cartopia food cart pod! This place really caught my eye when I got there, and I'm so glad this is what I picked. They have pad thai with lots of protein options (including vegan) and veggie add ons. The way the menu is structured is essentially regular pad thai and then you pay for whatever add ons you want (proteins, more veggies, etc). Everything is made to order so my food came out piping hot! The portion was HUGE and I was so full by the time I finished. Barely finished. I was super curious about the curry puffs and satay skewers but was way too full to order them. Would definitely come back if I'm craving a big ol plate of pad thai. read more
This is an interesting place. There are several food truck choices, but we decided to try BKK Pad Thai. The satay was delicious, the peanut sauce was awesome & the Pad Thai was yummy. Quick, friendly service! Cartopia is a great person to get that 5th meal you crave! read more
Got Vegan Pad Thai with the Uncut Chicken and tofu. As vegans my girlfriend and I are always looking for our next plant-based munch, and when we saw pad thai we couldn't resist. It is sometimes a little concerning when we ask a restaurant to modify pad thai to be vegan, because it is up to there interpretation what vegan means sometimes. It is always more reassuring when we know its going to be vegan. That being said, we were stuck deciding if we wanted the Uncut chicken in the noodles, or if we would just omit, since vegan mock meats are usually pretty sad, but we decided to just get it because the worker didn't understand what we were asking about. We also ordered some thai teas with non-dairy (can't remember which milk). The pad thai was really good, the veggies were nice a nice balance of crunchy and soft. The sauce was well balanced too, not too sweet, not too sour, with the lime they put in the plate, it made the noodles perfect. I would skip the uncut chicken though, doesn't really add anything, except for a chewy, crunchy texture. Tasted like chicken skin I guess, but I'm personally not seeking that flavor as a vegan. Thai Teas were good, grab one with your pad thai. read more
I am fairly cautious about Pad Thai as I have very specific preferences in terms of having a good spice and tang but not being overly sweet. Their Pad Thai was perfect! It had a great, vibrant flavorful. I didn't realize it already had some spice otherwise I wouldn't have doused it in a whole thing of dried Thai Chili flakes. I probably could have used slightly more egg, but other than that, this was delightful! I will definitely come back some time when I need a Pad Thai fix. read more

kindly greeted in the afternoon, right as they were opening. we ordered the uncut chicken pad thai as it was a vegan option as well as a thai tea with alt milk. the food was made to order so we waited at the nearby socially distanced tables with hand sanitizer and napkins right beside us. the food was flavorful, the perfect balance between nutty, salty, and sweet. the "chicken" was crispy so it added some texture to the savory/sweet noodles. the thai iced tea was lovely, paired nicely with the dish. would eat here again, the ambience is ideal! great music and good people all around you. read more

This place has great customer service and the food is fresh and hot. We tried the fresh dumplings and then added an additional two dumplings which we really appreciated. They were so flavorful and had amazing fresh ingredients. The sauce I came with it was also very flavorful. I highly recommend coming here. Next time I will try to pad Thai. read more

Yeeeees! These dumplings were filled to the gills with the stuffing. The wrapper is thin. Not chewy at all. The depth of flavor in these suckers was delicious. Sometimes pork dumplings can be gamey to me; these are not. They do not need any dipping sauce! Although the dipping sauce is good, you don't want anything to mask the flavor of these huge dumplings. Five is enough to satisfy your craving. But, next time I am getting two orders. Bet that. Can't go wrong. Good price, good food, descent enough service. Scratch that better service than Chicken & Guns and Potato Champion. Best service we had in Cartopia that day. Quick to get our order completed too. I WILL be back. read more
