Excellent chicken and sauce, yummy pickles, and comes with a generous amount of dipping sauce. Spicy has enough heat to taste without taking over. read more

FOMO Chicken - Spicy chicken sandwich Chicken Strips and Fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I don't know why it took so long for us to try FOMO. It's been out list forever. We met some people at a Yelp event who highly recommended it, so we finally decided to give it a go. The person who answered the phone was incredibly nice! Very easy to order. We ordered two pounds of chicken: one of each flavor. The pieces were massive, with plenty of meat. They were hot and covered in sauce. So many places skimp on the sauce, but FOMO did not disappoint. The chicken pieces were good... no gross stringy pieces. They were huge too! I could only have a few pieces before I was super full. The flavors were excellent. For once, I think I liked the soy garlic better than the spicy one. I'm a massive spicy fan, but the soy garlic was amazing! We'd definitely come back! read more

FOMO Chicken - Sweet Soy Garlic Korean Fried Chicken - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Came here on a rainy night because sis saw an Instagram post about them and she needed to come. Sis has a high degree of FOMO so we went to the appropriately named place fo' mo' chicken. I tried the Sweet Soy Garlic Box which was everything it promised- sweet garlicky soy sauce with a nice thin sauce that peppered the rice and made it delicious. The cole slaw that came with it was small, but very fresh (it tasted like it was shredded to order) and it came with pickled radishes which I am not a fan of but sis is and she reports that it was sooo good. She got the Southern Box and that was a little disappointing. It wasn't as flavorful as my order. Maybe we were hoping for a flavor kick like you get when there are 11 herbs and spices, but this tasted more like there were four herbs and a spice and lots of flour so it didn't really wow us. Both meals weren't made of chicken parts (leg thigh, wing, etc) but kinda like chicken breast, but I don't want to say that because the meat was moist and not dry like you get with chicken breast. Sis' sides were the mashed potato and gravy which she didn't finish and the corn was basic can of corn. Maybe would've been better if it was buttered and maybe throw some pepper on it, but it was pretty bland. She also got a tiny cup of cole slaw like I did and she was also impressed by the freshness. The area has a bunch of other trucks and it looks like this place is crazy fun on a warm day, but tonight the benches were covered with rain so it was us and a couple of people ordering their meals to go. The firepit was going which was nice as we waited. The only other truck that was open was the burrito truck and no one was going over there. I feel like if we came on another night it would be a better experience but because it was cold and rainy, I can only judge on the food and since my dish was great and Sis' was mediocre, I'm splitting it down the middle. Can't wait to come back in the summer and see what this place is like then so I can change my rating. read more

Got the sweet soy garlic box and the flavor is amazing but it has the smallest portions you could imagine! $16 for 6 tiny little chicken nugget bites. It either needs to be cheaper or a bigger portion read more

Fomo Chicken is inside brewery (culmination brew). It's not easy to find unless you ready the brewery board well :). Korean wings comes in two options. Soy garlic and spicy sweet red sauce. They have only one beef burger option rest is chicken. Decent food and as it's tied up with brew lot of seating available. read more

We ordered simple clucks and fries. The chicken was so overcooked that it was tough and very hard to eat. Fries were great, if I hadn't already left the area when we noticed this I would have taken it back. I'd try them again But taste before leaving read more

Food Truck service. GLUTEN- FREE FRIED CHICHEN!!! It is crunchy and yummy. I got the southern one with mashed potatoes, corn and slaw. I appreciate they use sustainable things as much as they can. Service was fast considering they make each order as it comes. There are places to sit outside and eat. Other food trucks ae near as well. Will return for more great food. read more

I ordered on grub hub and the food was a no show. I called grub hub and they asked if I would take a reorder. So I did. Chris from FOMO reached out to me when he saw I was ordering again. I told him what happened. So.....GREAT SERVICE FROM FOMO! Thanks Chris! Grub hub probably would have fed another person that was not me! Food was great. Chicken was just what I wanted. Crispy and not dry. Corn! I love corn! The slaw was flavorful. Mashed potatoes were good too. I'm not a sauce girl, so I can't say anything about them. 5 stars for Chris! 4 stars for the food. So that makes 9 stars!! read more

Had the chicken and the pork belly with the yellow rice. Very flavorful lots of food.

Delicious food that stayed hot and ready since it's take out. People were friendly. They had a fire pit going with a nice fire to keep warm and they had pop up sun shades to keep the rain away. read more

Very generous portions and the chicken wings were delicious. Great food cart to go on a sunny day! read more

FOMO Chicken - Half Soy Garlic and Half Spicy Wings - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I visited FOMO Chicken for the first time a few weeks ago. It's located in SE 28th food cart pod. I ordered the chicken strips with the spicy sauce and the fries. The owner was very kind and didn't charge me for the sauce due to me being a first time visitor. He also advised that there were a lot of fried chicken delivery orders at the time of my purchase so the strips would be the quicker option. I appreciate when I am given realistic expectations on when the food will be ready. My chicken was very good. I liked the level of spice that I had. It was not too intense. It was just right for me. Fries were good. I like the picnic tables and fire pit in this food cart pod so I was happy with that. I highly recommend FOMO for some delicious Korean Chicken. read more

Really enjoy this food pod since there's plenty of seating (covered and not), free parking around the area, and even a fire pit for those colder days. During this time be sure to check their hours on their social since the first time we tried to go they were only open starting Thursday. This time around we ordered for pick up on a weekend via an online app and they were exactly on time with the ETA provided. For this visit we got: + Fried Chicken Sandwich and Fries ($13.5) - Nice solid piece of chicken! The patty had a great ratio to the bun and I love a good potato bun. Got the slaw/aioli on the side since we were taking it to go and glad we did. Tried the sauce and it wasn't for my taste buds but be sure to give it a try. The crinkle cut fries are a nice touch as well. + Sweet Garlic Korean Fried Chicken (Pickled Radish, Coleslaw, Rice) ($13.5) - Nice and saucy! They put the chicken over the rice so the rice gets to absorb the sauce for each bite. The chicken was cooked well and the sauce was tasty. It does get a little soggy so I would definitely recommend eating ASAP if you like your chicken crunchy as possible. Setting the review at 4 stars since the portion sizes were alright for the price, but definitely try the pickled sides for a palette cleanser. read more

The absolute worst "fried" chicken I have ever head. I asked the cashier/cook if I could have thighs, he said it's all thighs!!! WTH??? It is dried, overly breaded white meat. I feel very confident that it is FSA frozen boneless chicken strips. Dry as an Arizona desert in August. The "mashed?" Potatoes were crunchy and had some weird bitter ingredient. The halt & half wings were ALL the same... overly sugared and bland, with stale sesame seeds sprinkled on them. The only thing nice here was the fire pit. Portland has become a joke of truly good food. So sad. If you want real fried chicken, go to Real em' in Tavern, it is the only true southern style fried chicken left in this dried up city. read more

Gluten free friend and I wanted fried chicken today for lunch. Well Fomo is THE place. She got the tenders and fries and I got a mix of the Korean Spicy and soy garlic box. Delicious. I would say the soy garlic was my favorite which surprised me cause I usually like spicy everything best. Guys operating the window were friendly, servings are large at a good price and the pod seating area is nice with misters to battle the heat. My GF friend almost got an order to go for tomorrow is how happy she was to have tasty fried chicken! read more

FOMO Chicken - Soy garlic / Korean Spicy box - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The best Korean fried chicken EVER!!! My husband and I eat it at least once a week! Super light and crispy while moist on the inside. We get the spicy and the sweet, then mix them for some sweet heat! I whole heartedly recommend this business. It is so tasty whether you eat it at the cart or take it home it travels well. Service is quick also so perfect if you are ravenous. read more

Would give 3.5 stars. I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was good but not super memorable. Husband had the Korean fried chicken and rice. He liked it and would have it again. But for regular friend chicken there are better places. One of the better carts at this location. read more

Ordered the half spicy half sweet chicken and the chicken sandwich just for good measure (split with the wife of course). The chicken sandwich was really good. It has a nice crunch to it, bun was soft, and the rest of the toppings made it feel complete. And at 9$ , I think it's priced competitively compared to other fried chicken sandwiches I've had in Portland. The fried chicken half spicy and half sweet was definitely good, but the spicy and sweet hardly taste any different to me. Ive just had much better Korean style fried chicken, and for $17 I do not plan on coming back for it. I'll likely be back for that chicken sandwich again after trying out more places :D read more

First, a shout out to this food cart pod: there's not one weak link choice, the seating is great, and the hand washing station is a big plus. A 3-Star to me is not negative, per Yelp it's "A-OK" meaning I'll probably return. That said, I found their marquee item - the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken - satisfying, but a far second from my favorites: Basilisk and Phat Cart. I realize they're different styles. The taste here reminded me of Panda Express (and I like this chain), but with heat. The winner of my $10 lunch box were the fried pickles, I'm definitely ordering a side of it next time. And I look forward to trying the gluten-free chicken. One pet peeve: I'm not a fan of the boxes they use. You need to tear off the sides or your hand keeps braising them which is mildly irritating. Service is friendly and fast. And kudos for not trying to cross-sell me bad for the environment bottled water as they offer an attractive water jug. read more

FOMO Chicken - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Fried chicken had been my pandemic treat and this place delivers. I like a mixed type of wings or a half chicken. Let's be honest. Who Doesn't like leftovers ? read more

This place is good. But the food definitely looks better than it tastes. Everything looks right, until you get into tasting it. It has a flavor thats best described as... almost there. I feel like they got the right idea with the sauces, they just need to make the flavor stronger and more in depth. But other than that theres not much to complain about. Nice, affordable, quick lunch spot that gives you a hint of what Korean Fried Chicken is. read more

FOMO Chicken - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I really enjoyed this place for an early dinner. The food cart pod as a whole has plenty of shade, water misters in a couple places, and a very nice beer garden. The food we got was ready pretty quickly, and the person working offered multiple options for dipping sauces for the fries which I appreciated. If I go back to the pod (which I plan on doing), I'll probably try a different place in the court, but I'll definitely try this place again. read more

The fried chicken was top tier. Fried crispy but light and plenty of salt and spice in the batter. Crinkle fries with unique seasoning. And add great service. Plus Culmination beer it's a home run. read more

So I've been wanting to try this place BC [Before COVID] but was finally able to yesterday. Service even during this time was great. I ordered the Korean Spicy Chicken Bowl, which came with rice, red cabbage slaw, 3-4 fried pickles, and pickled daikon? Chicken had a lot of flavor but I honestly thought it was too spicy. Most of the time I felt like I was biting into breading than the actual chicken lol. My fiancé who is the orange chicken type, loved it and I knew he would. Not my flavor but still interested in trying their other flavors. Location is off of E Burnside street. Parking is a little meh but if you're lucky you'll find something nearby. Would I come back? Yes, to try the other thaaaaaangs. I'll be back and update my review then. Thank you FOMO! read more

FOMO Chicken - Spicy Korean Fried Chicken Bowl - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My husband and son are always arguing about the best chicken sandwich in Portland and although I didn't have it here next time I will because this is by far the best chicken I have had in Portland! It is super light and not greasy, but maintains it's tenderness. I am definitely taking the boys back for a chicken sandwich! read more

I was in Portland for about 24 hours so I could only eat at a couple of places because as much as I love food, there's only so much I could eat. I asked some locals as well as doing my own Google research for a fried chicken place to go to, and FOMO chicken was mentioned the most so FOMO chicken was my pick! Realizing that FOMO chicken was a food truck, I decided not to drive there because I wasn't sure what the parking situation was and I didn't really want to drive around looking for one, I decided to Lime scoot my way over there. And after about two miles of going and stopping and probably breaking the law for scooting on the sidewalk (hey, I didn't know you weren't allowed to do that at the time), I was finally there at the food truck park where FOMO is located along with several other food trucks serving various types of dishes and beverages. Being a food truck, I was expecting a line because that's just how it is in Houston where I'm from, but this wasn't the case. There was no line and I was able to place my order immediately. At first, contemplating about getting the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken or the Sweet Soy Garlic Fried Chicken, but I decided to get the old school Gluten Free Southern Fried Chicken. After placing my order, I found a place to sit in the sitting are shared by all the food trucks in the park and waited a bit. It was probably about ten minutes until my order was ready and my name was called. I went to pick up my box that's filled with boneless fried chicken, potatoes, corn, and slaw. At first, I told myself that I wasn't going to eat all the potatoes because, carbs, you know? But after my first bite into the potatoes, I was like Keanue: "Whoa". They were really good - perfectly seasoned, full of flavor, and just delicious. The fried chicken pieces, which is the main thing I wanted, did not disappoint either. They were tender and juicy; and they were perfect to be chowed down with the potatoes, the corn, and the slaw. And oh yeah, let's talk about the slaw - not runny, not too much mayo. Just right. The only thing that was only okay? The corn. And I love corn - they need to have some creamed corn or grilled corn option here. If I ever made my way back to Portland, I wouldn't hesitate to come back here to try the Sweet Soy Garlic Fried Chicken and the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken. And talking about spicy, they need to add some Nashville style hot fried chicken to their menu. That would take this restaurant up to a whole 'nother level! read more

Out of the food carts at Pod28 Laurelhurst, we tried this one as we were hungry for some fried chicken. We ordered the soy garlic chicken with rice and also tried the sandwich too. My preference is the chicken with rice. The chicken is seasoned well and very delicious, in fact highly recommended. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. They have a few tables and chairs outside the food carts to sit and relax. The ambiance is a great place to hang out with friends. read more

The soy garlic chicken on with pickled radish and coleslaw was delicious. Pod 28 is a nice location: fairly quiet, lots of covered seating, (a fire pit for colder weather) and an assortment of carts. Service was pretty fast at Fomo. Found only 1 cart in the pod was selling bottled water, and that isn't Fomo. I got a Diet Coke and it could have been colder, but my friend and I both REALLY enjoyed this chicken. read more

FOMO Chicken - Sweet soy garlic chicken on rice with pickled radish and coleslaw in its Togo box - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

As someone who is gluten free and loved fried chicken, I'm grateful that this cart exists. At the same time, however, it seems like the quality has gone down in the past year. I have ordered from this place a few times on DoorDash. I always get the southern fried chicken meal which comes with mashed potatoes, Cole slaw and corn. They usually throw in a few fried pickles but they were left off my order today. Usually the chicken is tender, but today it was very dry and difficult to eat. The mashed potatoes had a lot more pepper than usual. It also seemed that there was less chicken. I was disappointed in the chicken today but may give this place another chance. read more

This is my favorite place for chicken tenders in the city. They have gluten free ones for folks that also have sensitive tummies, and their Korean style fried chicken is better than BonChon IMO. Their Cole slaw is also the right amount of tangy and refreshing. Definitely check them out! read more

Perfect meal on a drizzly Portland afternoon! Loved the hefty chunks of boneless spicy chicken (it wasn't spicy IMO but still tasted great!) and sticky Korean rice with some purple slaw on the side. We only got two tiny pieces of fried pickles on the side with ours, but overall we still enjoyed the meal. The chicken sandwich was good as well, but having a spicy sauce option would be even better. Portion sizes were reasonable. Definitely worth checking out! read more

We tried it on a whim, and what a delicious surprise! We are ordering delivery almost weekly, fried chicken is our favorite guilty pleasure, it is usually so greasy, but this is not that. No menu item has failed to be delicious, in fact the wings stunned us. They were huge, pterodactyl sized wings! Whether Spicy Korean, Sweet Soy Garlic, or Southern Fried, the flavors are excellent. They produce very consistent high quality food every time. It is excellent value for money, especially considering that fast food delivery (we don't drive) is now virtually the same price. The intensity and depth of flavor sates' our hunger without over-eating. read more

I ordered the 1/2 Spicy and 1/2 Sweet Soy Chicken with a side of Pickled Radish for delivery, which arrived with no problem aside from the the slight leakage of pickled radish juices (which wasn't that big of a deal to me). I really liked texture of the fry and chicken--the outside had that satisfying crispiness, mixed in with the coating of glaze as you bite into it and the chicken was nice and juicy, cooked perfectly. They were both delicious! My fav was the Sweet Soy Chicken! While I loved the spice & heat in the Spicy Chicken, I felt like I was looking for another flavor element to bring it to that next level. The Sweet Soy Chicken had a great balance of savory and sweet that I really enjoyed and made me keep going back for more. I definitely recommend trying this place out at least once if you're ever in the area. :) read more

My girlfriend and I came here not too long ago, excited to try their Korean fried chicken. We asked the big dude behind the counter one question about their special, and he legit looked at us as if we asked the dumbest question in the world. He was super rude about it and just seemed hella unprofessional and condescending afterwards. We legit almost turned around and left just from that. No wonder why the place was empty. Oh, and the chicken definitely wasn't worth it at all, for how little you get. I rather drive a little farther to Beaverton where the good Korean food is, oh, and good service. Good luck with that attitude man. read more

If you like chicken , you'll be amazed . The prices are reasonable and taste is fabulous. It's in a great neighborhood very friendly staff. read more

Not bad for the price. Satisfying portions. The fried pickles were a bit salty but other than that, not too shabby of a choice

This is our favorite gluten free fried chicken and it is about 30 minutes from our house. That said, we regularly make the hour round trip trek to get it. It's that good! read more

Really good fried chicken from a food cart. Generous portion. What is there to not like?

I requested a Southern combo that would've included mashed potatoes, corn and cole slaw for $15, but the attendant said they were out of mashed and recommended the strips n fries since "it's the same batter" -- except that plus a side was $16. OK, I went with it. This was the driest, saltiest, most overcooked tiny pieces of chicken I've ever had. Fried were soggy but tasty, cole slaw reasonable but nothing made it feel homemade or stand out from regular supermarket cole slaw. Like a previous reviewer wrote, the Portland food scene appears to be all about hype and it doesn't often match the hype with quality and presentation. Yet, people keep patronizing these places because I honestly don't think they know any better, or they're just too damn polite to say anything. read more

Being from Philly, we have a few great options for authentic Korean Fried Chicken. I had some hopes for this cart, and so I ordered the sweet soy garlic Korean wings with some fries. If you're looking for that authentic, double-fried, candied coating of sauce, unfortunately it's not here. The wing sauce was decent, and the chicken was juicy, but the meat itself had no flavor, and there was barely a crunch. It was sadly little disappointing, but it's an option if you really need it. read more
