I went out to the Barley Pod for lunch with my honey. I tried the samurai bowl and it was delicious. I can't wait to try the green machine next! I added steak to my bowl and he said it'd be about a 15 minute wait, it was maybe 8. Quick turn around and a yummy bowl! read more

Eat Well - Wellness shot with pineapple chaser - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I want to like this place, the food was.... Fine. Veggies we're all raw, and rice and beans were not bland but not flavorful beyond basic salt. They need WAY more sauce to make their bowls taste interesting. It was so little sauce I could barely taste it, and all their flavor seems like it's supposed to come from the sauce. I also didn't really expect a ton of raw garlic to be the "garlic" topping. I thought it'd be cooked. It was a bit much. Nice to have a fresh option at this pod, but pretty low on flavor. I hope they improved their sauce game. read more

One of the mainstays at the Barley Pod Food Park, Eat Well is a tasty and reliable choice for anyone interested in a well-made rice bowl. The cart offers a menu of five popular bowls (Locals Only, Samurai, Island, Hot Beet, Green Machine) along with build-a-bowl and burrito options. Our favorite Specialty Rice Bowls are the Samurai (red and black beans, broccoli, sprouts, carrots, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, samurai sauce) and the Locals Only (red and black beans, cheese, black olives, avocado, sour cream, lime, cilantro, south east sauce). Healthy food, reasonable price, polite and friendly service. read more

I created a bowl and didn't get beans in mine but they gave me a bunch of beans. All I tasted was bean and rice. Also I ordered lime and they gave me a tiny piece of lime. Also I ordered chicken they gave me barely any and it was super dry with no flavor. Food just lacked flavor except for the pineapples. read more

This place was not that bad I would not recommend it to any one they messed up my order and they didn't give a good amount of food.

Ordered this through Uber Eats, and loved how customizable everything was! After eating takeout for almost a week while our house was dealing with a burst pipe, I was in need of something light and healthy, but still feeling! I made a custom bowl of rice, beans, greens, and their house sauce, which was a little acidic for me, but overall, still very good! Packaging was also decent- no extra waste and a paper takeout box. read more

Eat Well - a take out box of food - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I stumbled across this food truck when having a friend in town. Parking is fairly easy to find and this truck is located with a pod of other trucks and a great indoor space. Lots of seating is available and it was covered and heated. It's a cute place to come and hang out with friends and eat! I ordered a green machine with steak and it was so delicious! Tasted fresh and I would recommend it! However, it took much longer than the other trucks to get the food out so I was the first to order but the last to receive. I also had to keep tabs since there was no buzzer given so I felt like a vulture waiting around. I've also come back a few times now and they seem to always be closed, such a bummer because it's so good! read more

Love the Locals rice bowl. Service is great as well. Eaten here many times and have never been disappointed.

pretty good! quick service, nice employees. I got the samurai bowl; very filling/nourishing, really good sauce - reminds me of korean bbq sauce. I probably wouldn't get that particular bowl again, kinda disappointed with the bok choy serving, but i'd recommend checking this place out! very cute! read more

Eat Well - Samurai bowl with chicken - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

One of my go to food trucks when I'm in this part of town. Delicious, healthy bowls, kombucha on tap, friendly-efficient service in a fun, lively pod. Great choice. read more

Ehhhhh... Clearly quality ingredients, but woof the mix of flavor just did not work in the "samurai" (yikes) bowl. It was probably the least enjoyable Portland meal I've had in quite a while. The sauce was somehow too sweet and too salty, and there was so much of it. Giant sushi-sized pickled ginger slices that don't really mix in. Not much bok choy or meat but there sure are a lot of carrots I liked aspects of various bowl options and really should have known better and just done a custom bowl. I would try it again (a very different bowl) and am willing to improve my review, but 3 stars is generous for how I feel about the meal I just had. Nourishing and filling? Sure. Would I go out of my way for it? Nah. read more

Hard to say. Have only been able to have it one time. And every other time I go, it's closed. It's unpredictable and unfortunate. Located in a great brewery setting, but all their food carts are not great hours for availability. This is the worst. read more

Simple wholesome food with really flavorful sauces. The concept of a rice bowl isn't new, but Eat Well's rendition is pretty decent and filling. I can actually get two meals out of one bowl. I think the best deals are their special bowls. Go for the Green Monster - it has kale, cilantro, avocado, green onions, green sauce along with beans and rice. It's very herby and earthy, a combination I really like. Top it off with some chicken and Sriracha, and you're good to go. That green sauce is delicious by the way. They also have kombucha on tap but they always seem to run out when I'm there! Service could be a little better as well. Make sure they get your name if you wander off or your bowl could just be sitting on their work table for awhile. read more

I did not enjoy the Samurai Bowl. Yeah, it's healthy, and it tastes like it. Lots of options, but I do not think I will be returning.

Eat Well - The Samurai Bowl with Steak - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Alright! So i was so excited to see a new cart at our favorite lot on Division, and when I saw that it was rice bowls?! FOr only $6! I just had to try it! So first you pick everything that you want to go in it, I had rice, black eye beans, bok choy, green onions, and garlic with cilantro and the house sauce. Sounds pretty great right?! Well I was certainly excited. When I went to eat my bowl.. I was slightly disappointed, I was really excited for some real bokchoy, you know with the green leaves and large white stems? Well.. I got bok choy, but it was chopped up into tiny pieces and only the white part, so it was like adding in celery without taste or nutrition. Sure the white part has nutrition... but not nearly as much as the leaves, so that was a disappointment. The next disappointment was that it was DOUSED in sauce, it was almost soupy. The sauce was good don't get me wrong, but when your rice is dripping? That's not the best sign.. It was too salty for me and I had to take it home and add more rice to thin out the sauce. Overall a meh experience. The service was great, very nice, not too slow but the food was meh. I will probably try it again, maybe they just needed some time to get on their feet. read more

I could eat here every day! Healthy and fresh. The sauces are all really good and make it hit the spot. I can't pick a favorite but I've tried them all. Rice, beans, veggies and yummy yummy sauce. Good kombucha on tap. There's a lot of good food carts in this pod but this is the one you should eat at. read more

Awesome, fresh bowl, it was prepared in just a matter of 2 minutes. Polite service with a smile goes a long way in the food cart arena. You can customize your bowl and mix and match additions/condiments if your taste buds don't align with the out of the box 'specialty' menu. Plus, how can you not add chicken for only $2? read more

Extremely disappointed. Clumpy rice. Very salty sauce which tasted store bought. Sub par quality ingredients all combined made it rather disgusting. read more

Sunny day, so we wandered on down to the Tidbit pod, and saw this colorful new cart. Menu is pretty simple, and you walk through 4 choices to add to a base of brown rice: * Red beans or black eyes peas (and add chicken for $2) * add two toppings - things like kale, sprouts, avocado, sour cream, etc. A little weird as there's some disparity for the toppings, and at a $1 for each extra, seems a little steep. * chose garnish - cilantro, basil, nutritional yeast, pepper flakes, lime, etc. $0.50 for each extra here *pick a sauce - a house tamari based sauce, a green avocado/tomatillo sauce, a spicy red sauce, a southeast sauce (tomatoes, garlic, onions, cumin, lime), or a hot beets sauce (habanero, beets, roasted red pepper, etc). You can get a side of potatoes for $3 or $4. I had red beans with kale and bok choy, nutritional yeast, and the house sauce. Food comes out in one of those wide, brown, biodegradable waxed paper take out boxes, and fair portion sizes. Was a little surprised that all the toppings were raw. The beans and rice provided a solid base, and the house sauce was good. Maybe a little bit overly sweet, but generally good amount of umami and flavors. GF had the red beans with kale and avocado, lime, and the red sauce. The red sauce was pretty vinegary, reminding me of kimchi juice more than anything else. We also split their chocolate mousse, which comes out in a little plastic cup for $3. GF really liked this, while I thought it was just a middle of the road mouse. I think if I go back, I'll add either add chicken or get a side of potatoes, but for $6, the food was good. Definitely a nice addition to the Tidbit pod, and great to have another "healthier" choice in addition to Garden Monsters. read more

Florence has a new restaurant. The smell when you walk in was yummy. We loved the noodles while you had the truck so we were happy that you now have a place to sit inside. The good: food is prepared fresh and very quickly fresh veggies perfectly cooked fork tender steak ample portions We love the food with just a tweak here and there: We did not know we had to order at the register, the sign "order here" was small and not well lit. You need to get your own utensils, water etc. Provide ice for drinks. Cashier - not so friendly as we waited over 5 minutes for her to get off the phone so you could use a back up person if you see a line or customers waiting too long. Not a fan of lentils but they were tasty. The duck was a bit chewy. Quinoa was cold, would be better warm. read more

I love their food. More often than not they aren't open at noon though. Today at nearly 12:30 not open and no sign or posted hours.

Eat Well is a new colorful food cart at Tidbit in SE that serves meat and vegan options as well. The menu is pretty simple: build-your-own bowl from a large selection of ingredients atop beans and rice or pick from their signature bowls. Everything is fresh, lightly seasoned, and will make you feel great after eating it! Plus the owner is very friendly and helpful and they also serve 'booch on tap! I usually build my own bowl. But, the Green Machine Bowl with kale, cilantro, lime, green onion, avocado, and chicken (add-on) with the green sauce is amazing! The bowls are pretty darn big... basically you've got lunch and dinner! read more

Eat Well - Build my own... basically the Green Machine Bowl with kale, cilantro, lime, carrots, avocado, pineapple, and chicken. - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I really love their bowls and my wife and I would eat there weekly, but the guy running the cart is usually running so late or is unexpectedly closed for some reason that it makes ordering from him frustrating. Today I waited 20 minutes for him to open, spending nearly half my lunch break waiting and ended up ordering from another cart. It's too bad because the food is great, consistent, and quick, and as he fumbled to get open for the day all the other carts were doing tons of business and many people walked up to his cart only to walk away once realizing he wasn't open. read more

Yummy and excellent service! Eat here!!! We got the green bowl with beans and rice. Highly recommended! And service with a smile and laugh was just what we needed after snotty service next door at the chicken place. We will return! read more

Love this cart, Locals Only is great substituting the sour cream for kale. Enjoy the food here more than Whole Bowl with better sauces, ingredients, and even better value for the money too! read more

A nice addition to the pod!! Great food.. And the owners are some great guys, that seem to love what they do. Many choices for toppings, light and fresh food. I'll make dude to come here often, especially when I want a healthy meal. Perfect for these ever increasing hot days! read more

Eat Well is an amazing little cart with a ton of vegan options. The portions are huge - enough for two meals - and the sauces are so good! GET THE TOFU, which is described as marinated "feta style tofu" -- it is truly delicious. The owner wouldn't tell us the secret of its goodness but he did give us some hints on creating our own recipe. The bowls with the green sauce or the coconut sauce are the tastiest, in my opinion. Plus, the food doesn't leave you with that queasy "I shouldn't have eaten all that chicken and fries" feeling... you actually feel good, energized, and a tad self-congratulatory filling up here. Highly recommend. read more

I love this place - it's so refreshing to find something quick and affordable for lunch that isn't fried or topped with bacon. I usually get the Green Machine Bowl with chicken - the green sauce is amazing, and the avocado and black beans balance the kale and rice well. Everything is fresh, lightly seasoned, and makes me feel great after eating it. Also, the guys who I've encountered at the truck are super helpful and always friendly! read more

If you haven't tried this cart, you have no idea what you're missing. I highly recommend stopping in here a few times so you can try all the menu has to offer. Another plus is that it is in the new Barley Pod cart pod anchored by Baerlic Brewing. Win win! read more

Eat Well - delicious bowl made with love - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I love the green machine! It's especially good squeezing lime over it. I crave this place because it's healthy and delicious, but it's been closed the last few times I've tried to go. Be smarter than me and check out the hours before making the trip. :) read more

Eat Well has quickly become my go-to food cart at Tidbit. While it took me forever to stray from anything other than Garden Monsters at this cart pod, Eat Well has now become my preference. The Hot Beet bowl is fab. I negate the cheese and add chicken and order the sauce on the side. The dude who works there is always super friendly and accommodating. The listed hours they are open don't seem totally accurate. I went to the carts on a Wednesday assuming they were closed, but was pleasantly surprised to see they were open. Eat Eat Well! read more
