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!

"Let me know if you have any questions!". We had questions about her menu items, and she answered them nicely and thoroughly, in detail. Okay, so we order two things: the S3 and the Spicy Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, and here's what U think about each: Tonkotsu Ramen: -The Meat doesn't have a huge initial, impactful taste, but the flavor settles in a couple seconds after you bite it and it's a very soft, warming feeling. -The Broth is where the spice is, and it's not like "oh my mouth is on fire" it's the type of spice that hits you in the back of the throat, so it's bearable but I couldn't chug it personally, I had to take sips which is nice for someone who devours their food like there's no tomorrow (like me). -The Noodles are.. just your typical Ramen noodles, nothing special to add there but nothing bad to say at all! -The Egg, although not marinated in soy sauce like some places do, was cooked well. The inside was soft and gooey, but the white was fully cooked. I have no complaints! -The Mushrooms added a nice texture to the noodles and the overall dish, and worked to make it even more satisfactory. The S3: -I don't have much to say because my cousin ordered it and I only had a few bites, but the veggies were cooked nicely... -The big boom about it was the noodles. If I had to describe it, I would say it's like.. an Orange Chicken type of Tater Tot, it was really unique and fun to eat. Next time I go, it'll be hard to decide what to order.. Okay, don't just take my word for it, go see for yourself! いただきます！

The broth had the perfect kick without overpowering the depth of the ramen, and everything came out hot and fresh. Parking was easy, food cart was easy to find! Portion size was generous, ingredients were on point, and the overall quality really stood out. If you're a fan of spicy ramen, this is a great recommendation. We'll definitely be back for more!

Five stars, and this one's an honorable mention that somehow turned into a regular habit…read more I'm talking about K-Pop at the Happy Valley food carts, and yeah, there's a reason we keep circling back like it owes us money. You ever go somewhere thinking you'll just grab a quick bite, and next thing you know you're planning your return before you've even finished chewing? That's this place. What I like is they don't box themselves in. You've got Korean, Hawaiian, and a little mix of everything going on. I lean Hawaiian most days, something about it just hits right, especially when you're not trying to go all in. Sometimes you're just grabbing food, maybe bringing something back for later, pacing yourself like a responsible adult. This is that kind of spot. It works with you, not against you. And here's the thing, I used to write those safe reviews. "It's cute. Nice service." That tells nobody anything. That's background noise. This place deserves better than that. This is a spot you actually remember. Friendly people, solid food, and a consistency that turns a casual stop into a routine. Happy Valley's already a great area, so you're starting off on the right foot just being there. But if you're walking into that food cart pod and wondering where to go, I'm telling you straight up, this is one of the top choices. No overthinking it. Take my word for it, or don't. Either way, you'll end up here eventually.

This has become my favorite cart in the Happy Valley pod. The menu is an interesting mix of Korean,…read moreJapanese, and Hawaiian, which is nice to be able to mix it up each visit. My go-tos are the Shoyu or Teriyaki chicken plates, the Kalua Pork Plate, or the Bibimbap. My only do-betters are that the teriyaki chicken can sometimes be dry, and I wish both the chicken dishes came with a sauce. They do have sriracha packets if you ask. The plates come with rice, a small lettuce salad and dressing (could use a little more of that sometimes), and a mac salad with pretty simple black pepper seasoning. It's a good amount of food for the price. I also really appreciate, and choose to visit K-Bop, because they use the compostable clamshell containers, and not the wasteful single-use plastic like so many others. Recommended if you're stopping by his cart pod.

I didn't go for any of the trendy sushi doughnuts or whatnot - I just went for some straight rolls. I ordered the Treasure Island Roll and Hawaiian Roll - both were super-duper fresh and delicious. Sushi is expensive, so I take that as a given, but getting the two rolls I ordered, I ended up VERY full, so I feel like I got my money's worth. Perfect fix for my sushi craving while visiting Happy Valley and I would totally come back for more!

First visit here for lunch today…read more Service was extremely gracious and friendly. Everything was clearly made fresh, with a smidge of a wait just shy of noon. We ordered 2 rolls and nigiri. Portion wise, the rolls and nigiri were definitely smaller than most places. Price wise, a bit higher than many for our regular picks, especially considering the petit roll size. Price to portion a bit off...but flavor, presentation, and service all great.

The food here is so unique and tasty! It's a super fun theme as well too…read more My boyfriend and I always get the loot fries, they're mega tiny crunchy shoestring fries cooked absolutely perfectly covered in Alabama white sauce, balsamic glaze, green onions, and bacon. I ordered the OG tacos and they were great! The tenders have the perfect ratio of breading to chicken, they're slaw is great which I find hard to come across at most restaurants nowadays as everyone tries to do something weird instead of keeping it classic, sweet, saucy, and crunchy. The buffalo sauce had the perfect amount of heat to it, and the blue cheese really brings the whole thing together. My boyfriend got the Scarface, he's a huge fan of the crack sauce, and the sandwich is huge! Once again perfectly breaded chicken, and A TON of onion rings. So many onion rings he couldn't even finish them all. He loved the slaw (he's super picky about it too). The bread also managed to hold the whole sandwich together which was impressive in itself. The lady who runs the cart (Christina herself possibly?) is super cool and kind. It seems like she's always there working and really cares about the quality of the food coming out which you can totally taste in the food.

I felt like downing a smash burger and this cart fit the bill. This cart has a basic menu of burgers & potatoes (fries or tots). Prices are very reasonable for single and double cheese burgers. And they have interesting preset toppings. My Thai peanut cheese burger was perfectly cooked/smashed. Peppers, sauce & a fresh cuke salad topping made this burger pop with flavor. For $9, it was plenty of burger.
