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 does take longer than most other carts, so maybe start with here or call it in, but we've always loved our food. I think some of the "rude" complaints are just a culture barrier for some? They aren't super bubbly or anything but have been friendly with us. Speaking less doesn't equal rude. Keep it up guys!

Ordered the maza plate with chicken, and it was very greasy and salty with a lot less flavor than what I'm used to for this type of dish. Didn't come with any sauce besides the hummus, which is unusual, and not enough veggies. Based on this experience, I wouldn't return.

Shockingly REALLY good. We ordered the Shrimp Alfredo, Italian Soup and Garlic Cheese Bread…read more First, the portions were really good size. The soup didn't quite look like the picture, and wasn't the taste we were expecting, but we really liked it - it almost was like a Thai dish. The Shrimp Alfredo was so good! Plenty of sauce, buttery and cheesy!! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and there were very generous portions. *this review comes from someone who's a bit snobbish about their Alfredo sauce and typically will make it at home rather than ordering it. So, they being said - this is by far a memorable dish.

I stumbled across this place and decided to give it a try, expecting it to be like the others I've tried in the greater Portland area. However, this has proven to be one of my favorite taco trucks in Oregon. They also have other Mexican goodies and snacks. Asada and Tripa tacos are the best! Online ordering and pick up is convenient and fast. They have a shaded area, and benches outside as well. Easy 5 stars for this place!

Price: The slider price is good and it's filling enough that you can get by with just one if you're not starved.

Parking: Street parking

We went…read morefor the first time after hearing lots of great things and I was blown away with how flavorful everything was. We were greeted with friendly service and were told that it would be about a 25-30 minute wait for food. While it did take some time, it was completely worth the wait. Next time, i might order ahead of time to avoid the crowd! We got a Pad Thai with Tofu and a Thai Champa Fried Rice with Chicken. It was made to order fresh and the portion size was huge. Two items were more than enough to share between the two of us. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat!

As others have said, it's behind a strip club in a parking lot so the ambiance is...unique. But other than that, it's on point. We got the pad thai and the drunken noodle - both of which were great and super fresh. The woman working was also really friendly and she came out to set up a bench for us to sit at. Would definitely come here again.

A Tasty Stop at The Doghouse!…read more The Doghouse in Portland offers a fun twist on classic favorites. I ordered two Chicago dogs along with their cheesy kicking fries. The plating and overall presentation were outstanding, and you can tell they take pride in the way their food looks when it hits the table. The Chicago dogs were good, but I felt the build could have been a bit closer to a traditional Chicago style. They were not bad by any means, just not quite at the "great" mark yet for that authentic Windy City bite. The cheesy kicking fries, on the other hand, were full of flavor and definitely hit the spot. I look forward to trying more on the menu next time!

The parking is under the building and make sure you park by the stairwell closest to the trolley. We had a hard time finding the way to get to the place. When we entered it was bright, pleasant and pretty warm inside, and smelled delicious. You wait in line to order and then grab a table. When we visited there was only 1 outside table. Each table has 3 sauces you can add to your crepe to enhance the flavor. I ordered the Farmer's Garden Delight Crepe and added bacon crumbles. I also opted to have both mushrooms and potatoes (menu says it's 1.25 for both and I was charged $3.25) in the crepe which was really good. There are 3 batter types you can choose from- traditional, buckwheat or gluten free. I tried traditional and my friend tried buckwheat and we both preferred traditional. We enjoyed our food and the staff members were nice. It did take about 20 minutes to get our food. Our crepes were really delicious. The downsides are the location- hard to get to, parking is funky, and limited outside seating. It was already loud with the street traffic and then a train came by which was very loud. Overall I would suggest checking out this place.
