    Easy to find location, street parking was as you can imagine it is given the busy area but the stars aligned for me and I found a spot just up the street. It could also be that it was close to lunch time on a Sat afternoon so not many patrons were out and about just yet. There are a few carts to choose from, I landed on Korean and the food didn't disappoint. Paired with a fresh tapped Hazy from the bar, it really hit the spot. While this place is a little on the smaller side as far as pods go, I think what is offered is good! Kids found food they liked, adults each got different stuff from different carts plus drinks from the bar.

    Love love love Cartside! Always stop by here for dinner before a Blazers home game. Beer selection is good, interior is nice and warm in the winter, and the food selections are always diverse and consistent. I had the gumbo last time, and it was potentially the best thing I've had there yet--piping hot, chock-full of ingredients, and seasoned perfectly!

    Fish taco and veggie taco

    (APRIL 2024) I ordered from KO Sisters Korean Seoul Food on 4/26 and Arelis Mexican Food on 4/30. From Ko Sisters I ordered a spicy poke bowl over lettuce. It was spicy but delicious. From Arelis I ordered a fish taco and veggie taco and it was probably the best of those two types of tacos I've ever had in my life!

    Amazing Shrimp and Grits from Mumbo Gumbo PDX! Freshest salad rolls ever from Phi Phi island

    Great food and service. Relaxing, cool vibe and they have a full bar. S Covered seating

    Meat Saj with chicken
    Marie F.

    Food Truck Park. Great idea!! Options (7) for whatever taste you're feeling. Sushi, Thai, Burgers, Sandwiches, Shawarma, Seoul Food, Mexican are the current available trucks. Outdoor seating (picnic tables) are available or you can get things To Go. Inside seating is a TapHouse option, as well. I tried two places: Shawarma and Phi Phi Island Thai. The Shawarma Meat Saj with chicken was delicious & large enough to split, if you want to come with a friend and share each others choices. I like that you could pick meat choices for the wrap (Saj). They have chicken, lamb, beef, falafel or a combo. I enjoyed half my Saj at the picnic tables and the other half (heated in microwave) several days later. Both times, this wrap was delicious. I tried the baklava the next day and was not impressed. Not much flavor to it. Ended up throwing half of it away. At the Phi Phi Island Thai I ordered the coconut milk bubble tea. It was pretty good. Had a good flavor, but bubbles did not taste fresh. ++Food Choices --Customer Service --Music choice playing on speakers --Odd foul smell while waiting for food

    Food from the back corner cart.
    Elaine L.

    Great place to pregame before heading over to the Moda Center. Two drinks for the price of one at the Moda. Food carts choices at good. We got food from the far back corner cart. Everything was really good and fast cook time. Kid friendly. Lots of gluten free choices. Three cider options and lots of mixed drink choices. Many group seating spots and covered picnic tables outside.

    Shawarma fries

    If you are ever in need of dinner before an event at the moda center this is the place for you!! I needed to grab a bite but there is not a lot of options around the rose quarter until a friend and I stumbled upon this place! Only a few places away from the moda center it is an easy walk there! They have lots of seating both inside and out, covered for the winter months! I went to the shawarma truck on my last visit and it was great! Perfect for the quick bite before a game!

    A food truck stop area located in Portland. The outdoor area is spacious seating area. Have a variety of food to choose from. The pineapple fried rice was good and the Thai iced tea was good, however the chicken from the vendor wasn't the best. Overall a nice kitten area

    Awesome gumbo

    We got shrimp and grits and gumbo at mumbo gumbo, really good, the best we have had outside the southern u.s. We also got memphis mac and cheese at the mac shack, not a fan it was spiced noodles with some cheese and bland chicken on top. The lady running mumbo gumbo was sweet and super friendly. Ambiance is food cart pod, small indoor space, the outdoor space has nice composite picnic benches, we will definitely be back for more gumbo!

    Lots of different food carts in here can't wait to come back and try them all they have a fire going on in the middle very pretty

    I'd walked by this indoor food cart pod for years before someone told me about it, and after I…read morefinally ventured in to check the place out, I was completely sold! There's a decent variety of about a dozen different businesses here, from donuts, to ramen to Indian, Thai, and more, plus a bar at the center. There's also always a line for just about everything, particularly the booze, so come prepared and patient. Seating can be a bit of a musical chairs-esque scramble as well, but that only further attests to the quality and popularity of this place. Don't overlook it as I did...pop in and see for yourself! The noodles at Matsunoki Ramen in particular are not to be missed!

The location is not ideal in terms of access and some of the typical challenges you would expect in downtown Portland. Otherwise, it's a fun experience for an occasional visit and the food options are plentiful. There are about eight food concepts in total on the perimeter of the building with a main bar in the center. I went with a rice bowl from one spot and had a few of the mini donuts from the other location for dessert. I also saw a Thai food concept, a smoothie bar and a ramen spot. There are a lot of different seating options available, but none of them are particularly comfortable. When I went for dinner, the place was only about half full and the trash area was a little bit unkempt. Parking is available on the street or in adjacent lots but everything is paid during typical daytime hours from about 8 AM until about 7 PM. The bathrooms do require an access code but are available on site. Personally, I feel like this place had a bit more clout when it first opened before the pandemic. But, it still has some relevance and it's a great spot for a casual meal just because of the variety of options that are available. If you come with a group, everyone can try what they like. Overall, a good showcase of some under the radar food establishments that conglomerate in a fun shared space. Check it out!

    Happy Valley Food Carts yeah, I might be a little biased... I live here. And to the three of you…read moretrying to triangulate my exact location based on this review relax, it's not that serious. Let's get into it. Right off I-205 and just a short cruise up into Happy Valley, this spot feels like the food cart scene finally put on a clean shirt and got its life together. It's modern, it's polished, and it sits in a neighborhood where you don't feel like you need to keep your head on a swivel. No chaos, no nonsense just good eats and a relaxed vibe. What makes this place stand out? Options. A ridiculous amount of them. This isn't a "hope everyone agrees on tacos" situation. This is a "you get what you want, I get what I want, and we all win" kind of place. I've officially made it my mission few days left to try as many carts as humanly possible. Call it a food tour, call it a personal challenge, call it reckless ambition... I'm doing it anyway. We kicked things off at K-Pop Korean Hawaiian BBQ-because when you roll with a buddy from Hawaii, that's basically law. And let me tell you, it delivers. Bold flavors, solid portions, and that perfect fusion vibe that just works. Honestly, it set the bar high and that's saying something, because every cart here seems to bring their A-game. The setup is dialed in too. Covered seating for those rainy Oregon days, indoor space when winter decides to show up with attitude, and open-air areas when you want to sip a little wine or knock back a cold brew like a civilized adult. Surrounded by trees and mountain views, it almost tricks you into thinking you planned something outdoorsy... when really, you just came to eat. And here's the kicker it's clean. Like, noticeably clean. The carts look new, the area is well kept, and the whole place feels intentional. Not slapped together. Not gritty. This is food carting with standards. If you're local, you already know. If you're passing through, put this at the top of your list. And if you're doing a full-on food truck tour? Start here. Set the tone right. Because trust me after this, when you head back downtown and start dodging zombies and chaos... you'll miss this place real quick.

    Love me some Happy Valley Station!…read more This is like the upscale farmers market of food carts- park your car, enjoy the landscaping, and check it all out. Dog friendly, Kid friendly, 100-year old friendly. Lots of clean and tidy indoor and outdoor cafeteria-style seating to choose from. Carts are covered from the rain, but outside. Beer and Espresso served and paid for inside. Restrooms are accessible and inside. Carts will give you a buzzer to notify you when the order is ready, so you can go walk around or find a seat while you wait. It was very busy this particular day, but no problem, all the carts seemed to be prepared for that! Just a lot of friendly faces who understood we needed to drool over all the menus before arriving somewhere. We landed on Premier Japanese Hibachi and loved all the flavor. Some of the freshest shrimp and yakisoba I have ever had. We also had the grilled shrimp and steak. TIP: don't forget to ask how you want your steak because it is made to order! The sauces on the side were perfect for dipping and sharing. Unfortunately, the portions did feel small for $18 a plate. Also, how to order water with your meal was confusing- another worker said just go inside. Eventually I saw signs that water is free with purchase or $1, but you would think it would be obvious. Overall, Premier Japanese Hibachi and everything else was a hit, 10/10, TY!

It's popular destination for tourists' shopping since there's no sales tax. The common spaces are wide, clean and have lots of open sky windows. There are plenty of sitting spots available as well for guests. We were in the mall for about 5 hours. We shopped in the Lego store, Tumi, VS, Dick's, 85C Bakery, and BoxLunch. We had friendly interactions from staff members in the all the stores. We also went to the food court on second floor, which was underwhelming compared to rest of the mall. The dining space had old tiles on the floor, the chair and tables were basic ones. There were 10-12 stores available offering a variety of cuisines. The food was decent from couple of stores we tried. Prices were little bit expensive. Overall we had wonderful half day spent shopping and dining at this mall. There was a good mix of popular and luxurious brands, offering wide range of products. The food court could use some facelift to match with rest of the wonderful interior of the mall.

    Five Stars The Mall That Still Gets It Right…read more Let me start off by saying this. I'd love to hit every single spot in here and give them all their moment, but you're only getting a handful of my favorites because this place is massive. And honestly, that's part of the charm. Clackamas Town Center is what a mall is supposed to be. You've got the movie theater, a legit food court, a full-on carousel, and hundreds of shops that'll keep you wandering longer than you planned. And here's something real. When it's hot outside or you've got kids bouncing off the walls, stepping into that air conditioning feels like you just made a life decision that matters. You'll walk this place and accidentally get your steps in. It's the kind of exercise you don't argue with. They've got little things that make a difference too. A koi pond that slows you down for a second. Kid corners where families can reset. It's not just shopping. It's an experience you can stretch into a whole afternoon without even trying. Now let's talk convenience, because this place nails it. TriMet runs right through here with both bus and MAX light rail access. There's a park and ride, which is clutch. You can literally park your car and take the MAX straight out to Portland International Airport and skip the airport parking headache. That alone makes this place a power move. And the surrounding lineup is stacked. You've got the Residence Inn right in the mix, plus food spots like Claim Jumper, Oswego Grill, Mezcaluna, and fun like Dave and Buster's. Whether you're eating, hanging out, or making a night of it, it's all right there. Fun fact time. This mall first opened back in 1981 and has gone through multiple expansions to become one of the largest shopping centers in Oregon. It's also one of the few in the region that still feels modern, alive, and constantly evolving while others have slowed down or faded out. Inside, you've got everything from AT&T to REI and more shops than you'll realistically hit in one trip. You can come here for a couple errands and somehow lose a few hours without regret. Only downside. Parking can be a mission. You might end up a bit of a walk out. But honestly, that just adds to the experience. More steps, more time, more reason to wander. In my opinion, this is the mall in the Portland area. The others might exist, but this one actually delivers. It's clean, it's modern, it's full of life, and it gives you a reason to come back. If you're anywhere nearby and wondering where to go, this is it.

    5 Stars - WonderLove is Portland's best-kept (not-so-secret) adult playground!…read moreJust off SE Main Street in the Central Eastside (right at 2nd & Main), WonderLove feels like someone took a classic food cart pod, cranked the creativity to 11, and built a three-story party fortress around it. This place isn't just 'grab your food and go' it's a full-on hangout destination that makes regular pods look boring. The carts might not all be the heavyweight champions of Portland's food scene, but who cares when the options are this diverse and tasty? From Guyanese bakes at Tu Tia (those fluffy pockets are killer) to Honeycuspe's next-level waffles, Gyro Bistro, sushi poke, Indian plates, and more there's something for everyone. I grabbed snacks and a drink and could've stayed all afternoon. But the real star? The setup. It's got tons of covered picnic seating on the ground level, an elevated sports lounge in a stacked shipping container (complete with TVs and wood flooring salvaged from an old college basketball court how cool is that?), and a killer rooftop deck with awesome views of downtown Portland. You can literally sit up high, sip a craft cocktail from the bar, watch the world (and traffic) go by, and feel like you're in a treehouse for grown-ups. Plenty of interactive vibes too games, space to move around, live music stages ready for DJs or bands. It's giving big "block party every night" energy. I went during the daytime and it was already awesome bright, clean, colorful murals everywhere, easy parking, and zero sketchy downtown feels. I can only imagine how epic it gets in the evening with lights on, music bumping, and that rooftop catching sunset or city glow. Not scummy, not skimpy just fresh, inviting, and thoughtfully built. Food carts don't have to be this fun and hangout-friendly, but when someone puts in the extra effort? Chef's kiss. Extra star for pure creativeness. If you're tired of the same old pods, add WonderLove to your list immediately. Great for a quick bite, a drink with friends, a family outing, or turning into a full night out. Highly recommend especially as evening rolls in. I'll be back for sure, and I'll be shouting out my favorite carts next time. This spot made the 'must-return' list on day one. Go check it out! "
