    Broccoli Beef #29
    Craig C.

    EXCELLENT! Who knew? Looking for really good Chinese food in Portland? Look no farther. I've been searching for a long time for a great Chinese restaurant in the Northwest district. Alas, most have been just okay. Granted, having lived in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, I'm really picky about authentic Chinese, so I was both surprised and amazed when someone recommended this little food cart. Don't be fooled! The place is small (to go only), but the portions are large and the food is awesome. One little sweet old man was the only one taking my order and making all the food, but he is not only kind and appreciative, he's a really good authentic Chinese cook. I ordered four items, beef with broccoli, Kung Pao, chicken, General Tso's chicken, and the Yang Zhou fried rice. Or, numbers #29, #26, #18, & #31. No clue on earth why he also sells french fries. Go figure. But, even with that little peculiarity, everything else is fantastic. I even met someone who orders his wonton noodle soup every week and loves it! It was in a surprising little area with other food carts, but look for the little green to house. You won't go wrong.

    The food was absolutely unreal. The food is cooked fresh and made to order so if there is a little line it may take awhile.

    I found out about this place through the Kuto app. It looks like a nice family business. I sort of chuckled when I saw this food cart with the sign above: the word Huali means exquisite, magnificent, or elegant -- a bit out of place at a rather unexpected place (it is a bit of shady part of downtown, though, but it's near the US Bancorp Tower, the Transit Mall, and the Powell's City of Books, convenient for office workers and tourists alike). Everything is made to order so expect to wait up to 10 minutes especially if there are other customers. It comes in a big container!

    Cute little stand. The women who runs it so sweet and kind. I've only tried this dish so I cannot say much about the rest but they give HUGE portions.

    This tiny little food truck is home to a chef that serves up delicious food! It's so small that it's a little easy to miss, but once you know it, it'll be hard to forget. Today, we walked up to order and our food was done in less than 20 minutes! It was hot and fresh. Everything was really great and the portions were huge too. Fast and timely service as well. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a quick bite to eat.

    I was truly excite to try this place. I took photos to share and promote them. Sadly I barely ate my food. The Yakisoba noodles had an odd off putting taste very little seasoning. I was hoping for flavorful sauced carmalized noodles and it was closer to just out of the package and warmed up. I also got pot stickers pretty sure I ordered spring rolls but... Well I can tell they were housemade tough dough hard to bite through exterior with meh inside. Honestly I don't know how you can screw up Yakisoba noodles but they've found a way.having to throw food away and still hungry two stars is a bit too generous.

Since we had our dog with us, we ordered everything to go and enjoyed it back at our hotel just down the street. Just a heads up if you're planning the same, there wasn't any outdoor dining available. Being from the SF Bay Area, one of the first things we looked for was Har Gow and Siu Mai, but they weren't labeled the way we're used to. After asking, we found out the Crystal Shrimp Dumplings are their Har Gow, and the Shrimp Siu Mai contains pork, which was exactly what we were looking for. We ordered two of each. We also ordered two Beef Chow Fun, Combination Fried Rice, Eggplant with Minced Pork, Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs, and three pear sodas. The dim sum absolutely hit the spot. The Har Gow and Siu Mai were well seasoned, nicely prepared, and exactly what we had been craving. The Beef Chow Fun was another winner. We were glad we ordered two because we found ourselves reaching for it more than the fried rice. The Eggplant with Minced Pork was also delicious. The eggplant was cooked perfectly -- tender without becoming mushy -- and the seasoning was right on point. I'm also glad we changed our order from the House Special Spare Ribs to the Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs. Unlike many versions, these weren't battered and fried, so the pork maintained a great texture while still being coated in a flavorful sweet and sour sauce. One unexpected favorite was the pear soda. It's made with Asian pear, so the flavor is much lighter and more refreshing than the sweeter pear sodas we're used to. The only hiccup? They're bottled with a traditional cap, and since we were staying in a hotel, we quickly realized we didn't have a bottle opener. Let's just say we got a little creative. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed our large takeout order and packed it thoughtfully. They included six extra takeout containers, plenty of forks, chopsticks, and napkins, which ended up being incredibly helpful since we were eating in a hotel room with no paper plates or utensils. It's a small gesture, but one that definitely didn't go unnoticed. Overall, we were really happy with our meal. This place lived up to being on my bookmark list for over a year, and I'd happily come back the next time we're staying in downtown Portland.

The service was good and the staff was attentive during our visit. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered: Hand-Ripped Youpoo Noodle: The absolute star of the meal. The wide, hand-ripped noodles had the perfect chewy texture you look for. They were tossed in a deeply savory, slightly spicy chili oil sauce and topped with a generous amount of perfectly seasoned minced beef and fresh bok choy. It was incredibly satisfying and a must-order. Popcorn Chicken: This was a bit of a letdown. While it looked golden brown and came with a sweet chili dipping sauce, it was not special at all and lacked any unique flavor or punch compared to the other dishes. Spicy Chili Oil Wontons: These were packed with flavor! The wonton wrappers were delicate, and the filling was juicy. They were swimming in a robust, aromatic chili oil that had a nice kick and a touch of vinegar sharpness. Why 4 stars instead of 5? While the noodles and wontons were excellent and the service was good, the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable. The restaurant was completely empty when we went, but it was super cold inside because the window was wide open. Between the chilly draft and the fairly generic popcorn chicken, it misses out on a full 5 stars.
