    Phat Wings! YUM
    Josh M.

    Check out our experience here: https://youtu.be/fPkkDSbVJeY La's, a Hmong Food Cart is absolutely amazing! We've had home cooked Hmong food at family gatherings, and we literally came to La's because we can't get enough stuffed chicken wings!! La DELIVERED! The wings were crispy, stuffed with AMAZING flavor, the pork was so tender, and the herbs in the homemade sausage were fabulous!!! Everyone was happy, and then some. What made this experience stand out so much over other food carts was La herself! She was passionate, excited about what she does, and shared some of her story with us. The food we experienced, held a lifetime of experiences in the flavor and we will definitely be going back! Our kiddo, Braedan, has a harder time with new/different flavors than he regularly has, or if it's not simple fast food/pizza... As we left he was raving about the food here, specifically the wings! The only thing he wasn't sure about was the sausage because the flavor there was much more lively with some fun herbs, which for a kiddo can be confusing.

    I've never had Hmong food before, I imagine this is a good intro. The owner is friendly and delightful. We tried the wings and the sausage, which I believe is made at the cart. Since that seemed to be a very meaty meal, also got the green papaya salad. -wings: how she gets the bones out in order to stuff them, I do not know, it's magic! They are stuffed with mung bean noodles, carrots, and ground meat. Easy to eat as they are boneless, and a beautiful golden brown -sausages: good sized and nicely made, but just not the flavor profile I like. I preferred to dip them in the sweet chili sauce that cake with the wings rather than the spicy green pepper sauce they came with -papaya salad: you can specify how many chilies you want mixed in. We chose 1, and it was HAWT!!! We brought it home and mixed in cabbage, but it was still quite spicy. So err on the side of mild/no chilies unless you are truly a hot pepper aficionado!

    Best thing you can put in your mouth

    It is worth traveling here just to eat these phat wings that are stuffed and deboned. We were lucky enough to experience the food at the Beaverton market that happens twice a year. Now I am willing to travel out to where this cart is just to eat everything else on the menu and maybe take a bunch of wings to go so we can chow down on them at home. I can't think of any other place where you can get this unique menu so it is well worth going out of your way for.

    My in-laws who live in CO read about this food cart in a magazine article. It's perfect place for lunch due to their limited hours. We ate the sausage, ribs and stuffed chicken wings. We couldn't finish everything between the two of us. It was all very well prepared and yummy. The chicken wing is what you really need to get because I think magic was involved in making it. I don't want to spoil it for you by saying too much. I haven't had anything like it. Will be getting the David and the salad soon. And when we couldn't finish the ribs and rice in one sitting we took the leftovers home and made fried rice for two people the next day. I Even used the slaw (after rinsing). I felt like I was on some cooking show where the contestants use only take out leftovers. It makes a mean fried rice with a few added toppings including that hot pepper sauce they offer. Really, please try this!

    All was good except the sticky rice...I love me some good sticky rice but these weren't it. I ended up sharing the jasmine rice. Sticky rice was mushy, had no texture to it. Sausage and Chicken wings was good..

And to be quite honest, the answer is kinda. No offense. But, is the name justified? And the only answer to that question is a definite YES. Last, the main question you are probably asking yourself is, should I eat there? And the answer to that, Sarah, is yes. You should definitely eat at this food cart. Let me tell you why. Taste of Soul gives you just that, a traditional soul food experience. But, just from the one meal I ordered on a dreary, cloudy Portland day, I had more than a taste of soul. I had a whole flavor reset happen to my palate. My world grew sunnier and brighter with an infinite amount of temporary taste happiness. The sweet tender taste of the catfish coated in a dusting of cornmeal and spices fried to perfection danced on my tongue as the accompanying sauce gave a zesty kick to the already flavor packed fresh fish fillets. The chunky fries were pillowy and perfect, potatoes partitioned to particular flavor packed pieces and promises of pleasant tastes. Also, nicely seasoned - totally worth upgrading the regular catfish order. I did have to wait a bit, but the owners were so nice to give me a free lemonade for my wait and they were generally very kind. You could tell they loved being there and cooking up some delicious food for everyone. How often do you hear Portland and soul in a single sentence? Come try this place out!

However, now that I've been a few times, I notice little details like "why do the hostesses continue to seat people right next to each other?". There are plenty of other open tables that people could be seated at, but it really eliminated our ability to have a connecting conversation, as it felt like we were a party of 6 with us 2 in the middle!!! And 2 of the people clearly had some personal "issues" going on and were very disruptive. The space is small, but the visual displays of all the artwork make it a talking point conversation. The main artist was on hand & we found ourselves with the opportunity to talk with him while we waited on our food (which took a lot longer than expected). Funny, we ordered 1st & ours came out 10 mins later after everyone else. I decided to go with the Chicken and Waffles, and we also had the shrimp and grits. The food hit on all cylinders, and the only thing that was needed next was to make a move for a cocktail and a little walking in downtown to change it up. Will definitely return, but I will be more direct and vocal about seating that's for sure.

Immaculate atmosphere and the exact sort of thing we were looking for for breakfast. We didn't get her name but saw on the receipt her name might have been Davi, she was such a bundle of light and life, so attentive and kind! She immediately gave us wonderful recommendations which we all adored. The table ordered praline bacon to share (do yourself a favor and get this), one ordered the praline bacon waffle, another ordered the bananas foster waffle, and I got the seasonal vegetable hash. We were all in HEAVEN with what we ordered. From the first bite to the last it we were all absolutely stunned by how delicious and well made everything was. I savored every bite as did my compatriots. One gal ordered a couple things to go for her family (huevos rancheros for the hubby and cinnamon rolls for her kiddos) and our waitress Davi recommended they bring out the cinnamon rolls unfired so that she could pop them in the oven when she got home after a short drive. It was such good attention to detail that felt like such a friendly offer. Absolute superstars, the lot of you.

He told me that they would clean off a table for me. WOO HOO. I bursted out crying at the thought that I finally got my seat. As I sat down a soft chair graced my bottom. Beautiful. I looked around and the scenery was beautiful. As I looked at the menu, my eyes sharply turned to the chicken and waffles. Deliciously perfect choice. I ordered my food and got a coffee. My chicken and waffles arrived and I took a bite. I started floating. My soul left my body. I looked down at my body as I floating away, I was enjoying every bite. I reached the heavens. A loud voice said "Its not your time yet. Return and enjoy the rest of your meal." I ascend back to the chair and every chicken and every waffle was gone. The servers were SO kind. I got my check and shead a tear, knowing that was the best meal of my life. Over all from kind servers to and delicious food, SCREEN DOOR was an awesome experience.

We decided on outdoor patio seating since the weather was nice & it was generally quieter outside. We were people watching for a bit and noticed that our fellow restaurant goers were waiting for quite a bit, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was fine. When our waiter eventually tended to us, he was incredibly friendly & apologetic, owning up to the delay being on him, but we were cool with it -poor guy was working a double shift. We started off with deep-fried okra, I ordered the fried chicken meal, & hubby ordered the burger. I got to pick the chicken pieces I wanted, so I went with 2 thighs, thinking they'd be smaller pieces, so I could maybe finish my meal. I opted for collard greens as well. The food came relatively quickly and was super-fresh. The fried okra bits were piping hot down to the last bite. They went well with the spicy aioli. We hung onto the aioli so hubby could dip his fries. My meal was so good. The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. The batter was just perfect and crisp. Mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. Gravy was rich and well-seasoned. Collard greens were so tasty. The balance of textures was just perfection. I ended up having to pack up a piece of chicken because it was so much food, but I enjoyed every bite I was able to take of my meal. I appreciated their welcoming vibe & the beautiful pride balloon arch inside the restaurant. I appreciated the friendly service. I appreciated the thoughtfully and expertly made food. It was a perfect way to end my culinary experience for this Portland visit.
