    Spicy chicken bowl
    Jason C.

    I've had the spicy chicken bowl multiple times. It's always super fresh and delicious. All the flavors are perfect, and the food comes out fast. Be aware the spice packs a real punch!

    Chicken Bowl
    Karina P.

    Stopped at Cartopia food trucks for a labor day lunch in Portland and decided to go with a basil chicken rice bowl topped with an egg. It came out in less than 10 mins which I was super happy about given some of the other trucks were claiming over 30 min waits to get your order! I liked the flavor and spice of the chicken, but found the bowl to be extremely dry. There was an overwhelming amount of rice that did not match the proportion of chicken given, making it difficult to enjoy as my bites were almost fully rice. Additionally, the egg was way overcooked so I could barely cut into it with a fork..made it tough to eat, especially since I only had a fork. Overall, definitely wasn't a top notch food truck experience! Given this was something so basic, I had a lot higher expectations!!

    Pork belly fries with creamy Sriracha dipping sauce. Fresh coconut water!
    Mike R.

    I loved their pork belly fries with Sriracha dipping sauce. The pork belly was very soft, flavorful with a little bit of chewy in it. I also love the coconut water! I don't know what it was, but I feel like this coconut water tastes better than the coconut water I've had straight from the coconuts in Hawaii!

    Overall delicious food and fast service. The peanut sauce is amazing! Spicy Chicken and the Pad Thai burrito are my favorites.

    While in town for a conference, I went to Buranko Cafe & Bar for my first dinner in town due to…read moreYelp reviews. It was so delicious that I brought my spouse back for dinner when he arrived later in the weekend. When I went the first night I got the shrimp pad Thai and it was the best pad Thai I've had in a long time. So full of flavor and fresh ingredients. I also got the hazy IPA from the local brewery, Backwoods. When we came back later in the weekend, my spouse got the shrimp pad Thai since I sang its praises. I got the million dollar shrimp tom kha ramen and it was DIVINE! I literally cherished every slurp and bite, it was so incredible and flavorful! My spouse got a different local IPA and I got a unique twist on a Negroni. The staff were extremely friendly helpful, ensuring that we had an impeccable experience from start to finish. Prices were also reasonable for the high quality ingredients, quantity, and presentation. The ambiance was wonderful, offering a clean, welcoming, and modern-green chic aesthetic. Not only did we have an amazing dinning experience, but also an amazing service and ambiance experience! If we are ever in town again, Buranko Cafe & Bar will be our top spot to stop!

The inside still looks really cute, but my mom and I didn't get to sit in the woven chairs even though it was pretty empty when we went. I probably should have asked to move tables, but I didn't want to make it a hassle for the staff. We ordered the cheesy crab wontons, shrimp pad thai, and crispy chicken. The crab wontons were really good , crunchy and filling are well seasoned it wasn't just stright up cream cheese, I enjoyed them a lot with the sweet chili sauce. The crispy chicken was also really yummy, can't say the same for the the pad thai tho it was so, so salty. I'll continue to come back in the future!

If it's your first time here, don't skip the Salted Egg Yolk Curry Fries, the flaky Roti Canai with curry (10/10)! They're popular for a reason and our waitress highly recommended them. The menu is made for sharing, so bring a few friends and order a little bit of everything! Just a heads-up: this place is popular. This was actually our second attempt at dining here because the first time the wait was just too long. We were able to get in this time with no wait, but I'd definitely recommend making a reservation if you can. Once you're seated though, great food, creative cocktails, and a fun atmosphere make it worth the wait!

Our waiter was very attentive. When a server delivered our fries to the table, he kind of made a face. Naturally, we were a bit taken aback. I probably made a face, too. Immediately, our waiter came to the table to check on us to see if everything was okay. The restaurant has colorful and quirky interior. My kind of vibe. Not stuffy and a little messy. The food was fantastic. I distinctly remember my experience was basically a salt bomb, it was overly salty and overshadowed any potential flavor. This was not the case on our last visit. It was more than redeeming. Bad experience, what? We got the two specials to share - ribs in a tamarind sauce and braised beef tongue. They were both so, so good. The ribs were tender and wonderfully flavored. The tongue came with a nice pickle like salad on the side. For veggies, we shared the water spinach sauteed in this pungent shrimp paste sauce goodness. My sister packed the sauce home to eat with rice. Oh and the fries! The salted egg yolk flavor is mild, but good. Add the burnt ends.

We took the bus here and it was close to a bus stop, and I think there's also street parking available as well.

Since it was my first time, I asked the staff for a recommendation. They suggested the bibimbap and mentioned it was on the spicy side, which I was totally okay with. While their cocktails looked really tempting, I ended up getting a Mexican Coke, and I loved that they had it. The bibimbap was absolutely delicious. It had so many different flavors and textures, and somehow they all worked perfectly together. The waiter also suggested mixing everything together before taking the first bite, which I really appreciated. The ambiance was super cute, with a cozy little tiki-bar vibe inside, and they also have a few outdoor tables. The service was exceptional throughout. This is an easy 5-star review from me.

The onigiri is art. And the service is always polite and professional. Always. I was physically at the restaurant the night these one star people were there. From what I could tell sitting at the bar and observing the ID in question, it looked fliiiimssy even from where I was sitting. I kinda get both sides ya know , sure one person in the group wants a drink w dinner but dude just tough it out and have your dinner. Instead they popped off and all started fussing and being entitled and it was just gross. I was enjoying a fantastic dinner but that table was like trying to take the stage. I think they ended up storming out and one girl like stomped off and said she was keeping her cup !! lol I worked in food a long time ago. And I've worked in cannabis under the watchful eye of the olcc so I'm on the servers side. Don't take chances and don't listen to these kids scramble for a secondary ID. Sketch. Go to obon.

Rather than communicating professionally or reviewing additional identification, staff escalated the interaction, culminating in my friend being called a "bish." I can't recommend this restaurant. Also just don't treat people that way. It's not cool.
