In all seriousness, Bing Mi pretty much brought jianbings to the map in Portland. This a great location, in the heart of the city. Jianbings are like a common breakfast food but good for all meals too. It's got protein, vegetables, carbs, some sweet, some spicy. Perfectly portable too! And the crunch! I love the crunch, but sometimes they do put a little too much crunch versus other fillings in there. The staff are friendly here and they give you a pretty accurate estimate of your wait time. They'll give you a beeper too if you want to wander off and check out the square. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy your jianbings. Great atmosphere to people watch!

There is plenty of seating there and It looked like there was a space for live music and string lights - probably a fun spot to grab dinner in the evening. We came for lunch and ordered the chao mian with chicken (spicy) and bian bian noodles (spicy). The noodles are cooked to order and we were served quickly. The serving sizes are huge. Neither one of us could finish ours. We'll likely order one dish to split next time, and that'd still probably be more than enough. The flavor of the chao mian was a bit lackluster. It was savory with a soy sauce flavor base, but got a bit repetitive with each bite. It was decently spicy and texture was there with the veggies, but I wish there was a way to customize with more spice or vinegar to taste. The bian bian noodles were more flavorful and also spicier. Fun noodle texture. There are also other vendors in the garden so you can pair a dessert, drink, or side with your meal while staying in the same area. Overall, a filling meal for a good price! Would come again to try their beef noodle soup.

Among the sea of food carts at the Midtown Beer Garden in downtown, Shawarma House really stands…read moreout for its excellent quality, flavor, and price. I went with their recommendation and ordered the No. 1 Chicken Shawarma Wrap, and it was fantastic. The shawarma itself was juicy and packed with flavor, and it balanced really nicely against the fresh vegetables and the tanginess from the pickles. The fluffy garlic sauce inside is airy, garlicky, and almost feels whipped, but the pro move is definitely to ask for extra along with some of their house made hot sauce on the side. Everything is wrapped and griddled to toasty perfection, making it an ideal compact grab-and-go lunch, or a great meal to enjoy more leisurely at one of the shaded picnic tables. One thing to note is that the orders do take a bit of time, so it is not the best option if you are in a rush. That said, it is absolutely worth it if you have a little time and patience, so just grab a brew, relax, and enjoy the weather while you wait.

Both were fantastic! It was very flavorful and well spiced, with the perfect amount of salt and aromatics. The chicken is extremely soft, and the noodles are fresh and properly chewy. The Thai iced tea was very sweet even for my taste, but I still enjoyed it and expect it would be more refreshing if the weather wasn't so cold as it is now. The wait time was maybe 15 minutes, which isn't bad at all, and the cashier was very cheerful and pleasant. The food cart is in the back of a fairly vacant lot, so there's not much to comment on when it comes to ambiance. Overall, it's an excellent choice for takeout that I recommend enthusiastically, and I hope I get to try more of their food next time I'm in the area. :-]

The culinary experience was truly remarkable, and the customer service was exceptional. The restaurant's location is also highly favorable, contributing to its overall appeal. As a Jamaican who grew up in the Miami neighborhood known as "Little Haiti," I have had ample exposure to Haitian cuisine, particularly griot. My childhood memories include saving my allowance to purchase griot from a Haitian lady's house on Fridays, with the assistance of a neighbor who spoke her language. My first taste of griot occurred when I was 11 years old. I felt compelled to share this background information to establish my credentials in assessing the quality of Haitian cuisine. Tap Tap Cuisine proved to be an exceptional gem in this regard. Plus, my 2 friends who accompanied me are of Haitian background. We all gave it a 10 out of 10! In all areas. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, creating an immediate sense of camaraderie. By the time we departed, we felt like part of the restaurant's extended family. Tap Tap Cuisine operates as a family-run establishment. The ambiance took me back to an island setting. I will most DEFINITELY be back again! If you are in or is visiting the Portland area. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

Once there, I wanted a falafel and there are a few spots that offer falafels at this location. Small Pharoah's looked good so I gave it a try. So glad I did! I initially wanted the falafel wrap but the gentleman working persuaded me to get the falafel gyro instead. Honestly it was so loud with the live band that I couldn't quite hear why he suggested that falafel option but again, I am glad I listened to him! I did have to wait over 15 minutes for my order but I didn't really mind and again, totally worth the wait. The falafel itself was tasty and flavorful and not dry at all and it was loaded with lettuce, pickles, and topped w feta cheese. I was very impressed with the taste and devoured my meal quickly. Also - it was only $9 so just another good reason to eat here.
