    Beef chow fun
    Gene W.

    Best food cart pod in Portland area. See separate review for Troutdale Station. This was one of at least 7 or 8 Asian style carts in amongst the 20 carts. Good portion size for the money, I order the beef chow fun (wide rice noodle). Flavors were on point though the beef, while plentiful, was not too tender. Well fried noodles with both green onion & bean sprouts. Not a bad choice if you hanker for Chinese food, but next time, I'll probably try the other Asian options: Korean, Thai, Indian, Japanese, etc.

    We pass by these carts all the time and we stopped in finally and it is a lovely hall with tons of space and a great feel. About a dozen carts here and a few more stands inside the building. Now for this I want to let it be known that I am not a huge fan of authentic Chinese food. This is the one ethnic food that I really do like to be very Americanized with that said this place hits just right... I love white meat chicken, battered and fried, and a sauce with 102% pure sugar lol... The place hit quick, fresh, and was a decent price for these days... 12 bucks for a decent sized entree. It really is a great place to get out of the elements, and it also seems they have a decent happy hour on drafts inside!

    For many years I have utilized the truck stops in Troutdale and always cast a wary eye toward this…read moreChinese place tucked in the corner. But it was usually too early to too late, or I was in too big a hurry. On this opportune visit it was lunch time and finally I had a chance to finally try Yu's Garden. The lunch menu was both varied and fairly priced. I tried the General Tsao's lunch with hot and sour soup. There was a lady handling the serving duties and she was excellent handling the few of us who were seated in the dining area. I assume someone else handled the lounge as several people entered that as I ate lunch. The soup was quite good, not too peppery but loads of flavor. The General Tsao was a very good representation of American Chinese food. The flavors really popped and there was quite enough to fill up even me. All in all, I really enjoyed Yu's even though it is decidedly in need of an interior upgrade. Skip the truck stop food and give Yu's Garden a try.

    We ordered takeout from here after seeing the glowing reviews. We ordered via 3rd party and my 8yo…read moredaughter went with me to pick it up. I was a little put off from the second we walked in; no employee present for several minutes, no one sitting down, and sketchy people going to the lounge. The lighting was dark, surfaces dirty, and I would not have felt comfortable dining in with my family. The food itself was okay...whereas I thought it was average and would entertain getting takeout again, the rest of them unanimously gave it a 'thumbs-down'. Probably won't be back.

Because I will be back. We started off strong with a table full of appetizers. It was one of those "everyone grab something" moments, and listen... I had been up since 6am, starving, and completely forgot to take pictures until it was basically too late. But trust me, that alone should tell you how good it was. Crab puffs? Gone. Creamy, crispy perfection. Fried spring rolls? Devoured without hesitation. But that salt and pepper shrimp?? LISTEN. It tasted like somebody's grandma was in the back cooking with love. I could've eaten that as my full meal 10 times over and still asked for more. Then came the angel wings... OMG. At this point I was already full, borderline mad about it, because I wanted to keep eating. And I'm not usually a leftovers person....but these? Plus that one last shrimp sitting there? Oh no... they came home with me. And the best part? EVERYONE loved their food. No misses at the table. If you're debating, don't. Just go. And go hungry.

    I was treating my parents out to dinner and they wanted to eat here. I haven't eaten here in years…read moreand totally forgot how authentic the cooking was. I found that I ate so much and I didn't realize it. We ordered Pad Ka Pao, Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Ginger Halibut, Fried Chicken Wings, Basil Fried Rice and Thai Iced Tea. Everything was so delicious and the flavors of each dish were exquisite. You can tell the Chef is very experienced with how savory the taste is in each dish. Overall, the food was amazing. The service was friendly and great. There was only one staff member who was doing everything in the front and it was really busy, yet she was able to attend to everyone needs. Covid-19 guidelines are up to date. The restaurant uses paper and plastic utensils during this time. You can tell that this place is really good because it sure got busy!

Our most recent curry had only about five pieces of chicken, which was surprising. I'm not sure if this is because we ordered it to-go, but either way, it didn't feel like the same value we've experienced in the past. For now, we're going to pause on returning and try some other spots in the neighborhood instead. Hopefully this is just a temporary hiccup, because the flavors are still there
