    Cuban chicken sandwich.
    Tom J.

    Met some friends for a birthday get together here and it was a fun time! It is VERY crowded on weekends. We were able to get seats outside and it was a not too hot day. A couple of friends and I went to Frybaby to try the Korean fried chicken. The truly exciting part was that they have many gluten free options. I had the chicken tenders and they were super delish. The cucumber salad was pretty good, but a bit spicy for me. The radish salad was excellent. One of our other friends got food from Isla Bella, which is Cuban food. She got a basket of fried plantains and they were also gluten free! I don't always like plantains but these were great. She also got the Cuban chicken sandwich, which looked delicious. This is a fun place to go with some friends, but I would try to go on the more off hours.

    Honey Walnut Shrimp from Golden Triangle

    My new favorite food cart pod in Portland! What a cool place - so many food trucks with a wide variety of food items, lots of seating inside and out, as well as nice fun touches like a VW bus "art installation" and an outside area where kids can play. The inside seating area also has a bar - service was prompt and friendly. The Heist is a remodeled bank building that boasted a true bank robbery back in the day (fun fact: the real bank robber was in attendance at the grand opening!). Remnants from the former bank that The Heist is located in are cleverly designed into the decor everywhere you look. I ordered food from Golden Triangle and a Liquid Death Cherry Obituary from the bar to drink. Yummy yummy yummy! Oh yeah, Poison Waters hosts the Drag Queen Brunch at The Heist. Check it out! Fun place to eat and hang out - can't wait to go back and try something else... maybe I'll see you there at the next Drag Queen Brunch.

    There are many options in this food cart section! Prices are so'so! It was busy but service was fast & there were lots of places to try. One thing to note is none of the carts offer drinks, you need to buy from the two vending machines onsite or hit the bar like area inside for craft drinks. Family friendly and pet friendly.

    More delicious food

    This place is a real vibe!!! We loved it. There were so many chooses - we really could appreciate it. We chose what we wanted to eat, went inside, grab a table and order drinks then played music bingo. Bingo is every Wednesdays at 6:30pm. We had such a good time.

    Bake on the Run

    Super cute place. Nice inside and great selection of foods. Inside has a nice bar and lots of seating. A coffee shop and an amazing fish tank! This is a really nice place for families, and I even saw a doggie inside (not a small one), so many inside is also pet-friendly? Fills up fast on weekends. Also, the prices for food here, I feel are at least %20 cheaper than other pods I've been to. Many things are 10-15 vs 15-20. Bake on the Run is a favorite place here, worth it just to try that cart.

    This is an awesome food cart pod! I was highly impressed by the delicious food and amazing indoor seating area and bar. I will definitely be back!

    Safe Deposit boxes
    Kim D.

    Fun and interesting food cart pod. Love the idea of a converted bank. Sadly the safe deposit boxes with hidden treasures is no more thanks to people abusing it BUT you can find them in them in the coffee shop. Great variety of food carts with an assortment of cuisines to choose from. Had a pretty good Bloody Mar from the bar and seating was plenty. Great addition to the neighborhood.

    This might be the best food cart pod in Portland. Located in Woodstock neighborhood, it's clear they put a lot of thought into this development. They picked a theme (bank / Monopoly) and ran with it. It's fun for both adults and kids to explore and see every little detail that relates to it - penny floor, murals, bank vault, Monopoly cards, etc. even if you don't care about the theme, it's a pleasant place to be, with plenty of exterior and interior seating. The property has its own bar and coffee shop, so no matter what hour you show up you can get a beverage. They have about 20 food carts that keeps their own hours, and have managed to attract some heavy hitters, such as Bake on the Run, Bark City BBQ, CoKieas Kitchen, Cookie McCookie Face, Golden Triangle, Kim, Jong Grillin, Rocket Breakfast. Overall, they cover a wide variety of cuisines and everybody in the family should be able to find something to enjoy here.

    The Heist: outdoor seating around the corner

    This is by far the best food cart pod that I've been to! I saw on a vegan Facebook post a photo of CocKlea's Kitchen Soul Bowl and thought to myself, I need this! I looked to see where they were located, and that's what brought me to The Heist! I parked on the street about a block away, so not too far. All the food carts looked like they were doing brisk business. I found CocKlea's fairly quickly and put my order in. CocKiea's Kitchen is 100% vegan. As I waited for my order, I wandered around to see what the other carts were offering. There was a wide variety. Many had at least one vegan offering. At first I was nervous about wandering too far from the cart I ordered from. I found an unoccupied picnic bench. I thought if I deserted it, it would be hard to find a place to sit, it was that busy! I was wrong, I found a really cool spot around the corner. After I ate, I wandered inside, so glad I did! The indoor seating area was really nice! They had fancyish tables and chairs! The vibe was really cool! There's a game room, indoor bathrooms, groupings of comfy chairs! I will definitely be back and hope to bring a group of friends with me!

    Came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon and wow! This is a wonderful spot. Plenty of seating, great ambience, and a touch of the fantastic with all of the bank related items! Very cool and seems to be family friendly and have plenty of seating. It was such a nice relaxing time--I ordered some food, chilled for a bit, then ordered some more, rinse and repeat! A delightful afternoon and I love that there's a centralized place for seating and so many options for food--something for everyone!

    Japanese logger from their taps. Really good.

    I finally got to check out this cool place on a nice day after a hike. There are a lot of food trucks here. I would say about 70% with an Asian or Indian flair. Definitely going to come back and try one of those places soon. I chose the Smashburger place today. What an excellent choice I made! Two burgers on a really nice bun with plenty of cheese and a great sauce! There's a inside space with a bar that is really good. The artwork is interesting. The bar area backing is safety deposit boxes. It's pretty cool actually. It's open light and breezy. Very clean with plenty of tables. The tables were clean and so was the bathroom area. Lots of people there enjoying the afternoon. Families with their kids, couples, a lot of smiling faces hanging out. Plenty of choices of food here and definitely a good vibe. Check it out.

    Cool holdup in Woodstock. Great selection of food trucks, cozy setting inside with plenty of community seating. Taps & cocktails indoor. Fun feature ~ bank vault with heist map ;)

    Coconut linguine and fried shrimp
    Vanessa L.

    This is a great spot with lots of food carts to choose from. Every vendor was polite and inviting made it hard to choose where to eat. This place is dog friendly with indoor and out door seating. Inside has bathrooms and a gaming area with a bar. We didn't grab any drinks as we were on a day trip from WA. All the food looked so good from all the carts. I landed on the coconut linguine with fried shrimp. It did not disappoint I did not catch the name of the cart however I only saw one offering it. The husband got at Monte crisco from the cart on the very end or beginning depending on what street you entered from. It's the only one of two serving breakfast. He absolutely loved it. From their menu they do a lot of local and home made products and the Hibiscus tea was refreshing.

    Are there bathrooms on site?

    Yes! The facilities are so nice! Bathrooms on site, full bar, fish tanks, coffee shop, bank vaults, tv's, tons of seating!

    They named it after a crime committed in 2010?

    Per their website: Named after the old US Bank that once stood on the site, The Heist's unique theme… 

    Anybody have a photo of the menu(s)? Thanks.

    Because 'the Heist" is the name of the pod, there's no one menu. Google their website and there's menus for some of the carts there.

The location is not ideal in terms of access and some of the typical challenges you would expect in downtown Portland. Otherwise, it's a fun experience for an occasional visit and the food options are plentiful. There are about eight food concepts in total on the perimeter of the building with a main bar in the center. I went with a rice bowl from one spot and had a few of the mini donuts from the other location for dessert. I also saw a Thai food concept, a smoothie bar and a ramen spot. There are a lot of different seating options available, but none of them are particularly comfortable. When I went for dinner, the place was only about half full and the trash area was a little bit unkempt. Parking is available on the street or in adjacent lots but everything is paid during typical daytime hours from about 8 AM until about 7 PM. The bathrooms do require an access code but are available on site. Personally, I feel like this place had a bit more clout when it first opened before the pandemic. But, it still has some relevance and it's a great spot for a casual meal just because of the variety of options that are available. If you come with a group, everyone can try what they like. Overall, a good showcase of some under the radar food establishments that conglomerate in a fun shared space. Check it out!

And to the three of you…read moretrying to triangulate my exact location based on this review relax, it's not that serious. Let's get into it. Right off I-205 and just a short cruise up into Happy Valley, this spot feels like the food cart scene finally put on a clean shirt and got its life together. It's modern, it's polished, and it sits in a neighborhood where you don't feel like you need to keep your head on a swivel. No chaos, no nonsense just good eats and a relaxed vibe. What makes this place stand out? Options. A ridiculous amount of them. This isn't a "hope everyone agrees on tacos" situation. This is a "you get what you want, I get what I want, and we all win" kind of place. I've officially made it my mission few days left to try as many carts as humanly possible. Call it a food tour, call it a personal challenge, call it reckless ambition... I'm doing it anyway. We kicked things off at K-Pop Korean Hawaiian BBQ-because when you roll with a buddy from Hawaii, that's basically law. And let me tell you, it delivers. Bold flavors, solid portions, and that perfect fusion vibe that just works. Honestly, it set the bar high and that's saying something, because every cart here seems to bring their A-game. The setup is dialed in too. Covered seating for those rainy Oregon days, indoor space when winter decides to show up with attitude, and open-air areas when you want to sip a little wine or knock back a cold brew like a civilized adult. Surrounded by trees and mountain views, it almost tricks you into thinking you planned something outdoorsy... when really, you just came to eat. And here's the kicker it's clean. Like, noticeably clean. The carts look new, the area is well kept, and the whole place feels intentional. Not slapped together. Not gritty. This is food carting with standards. If you're local, you already know. If you're passing through, put this at the top of your list. And if you're doing a full-on food truck tour? Start here. Set the tone right. Because trust me after this, when you head back downtown and start dodging zombies and chaos... you'll miss this place real quick.

    Love me some Happy Valley Station!…read more This is like the upscale farmers market of food carts- park your car, enjoy the landscaping, and check it all out. Dog friendly, Kid friendly, 100-year old friendly. Lots of clean and tidy indoor and outdoor cafeteria-style seating to choose from. Carts are covered from the rain, but outside. Beer and Espresso served and paid for inside. Restrooms are accessible and inside. Carts will give you a buzzer to notify you when the order is ready, so you can go walk around or find a seat while you wait. It was very busy this particular day, but no problem, all the carts seemed to be prepared for that! Just a lot of friendly faces who understood we needed to drool over all the menus before arriving somewhere. We landed on Premier Japanese Hibachi and loved all the flavor. Some of the freshest shrimp and yakisoba I have ever had. We also had the grilled shrimp and steak. TIP: don't forget to ask how you want your steak because it is made to order! The sauces on the side were perfect for dipping and sharing. Unfortunately, the portions did feel small for $18 a plate. Also, how to order water with your meal was confusing- another worker said just go inside. Eventually I saw signs that water is free with purchase or $1, but you would think it would be obvious. Overall, Premier Japanese Hibachi and everything else was a hit, 10/10, TY!

There are plenty of sitting spots available as well for guests. We were in the mall for about 5 hours. We shopped in the Lego store, Tumi, VS, Dick's, 85C Bakery, and BoxLunch. We had friendly interactions from staff members in the all the stores. We also went to the food court on second floor, which was underwhelming compared to rest of the mall. The dining space had old tiles on the floor, the chair and tables were basic ones. There were 10-12 stores available offering a variety of cuisines.

    Five Stars The Mall That Still Gets It Right…read more Let me start off by saying this. I'd love to hit every single spot in here and give them all their moment, but you're only getting a handful of my favorites because this place is massive. And honestly, that's part of the charm. Clackamas Town Center is what a mall is supposed to be. You've got the movie theater, a legit food court, a full-on carousel, and hundreds of shops that'll keep you wandering longer than you planned. And here's something real. When it's hot outside or you've got kids bouncing off the walls, stepping into that air conditioning feels like you just made a life decision that matters. You'll walk this place and accidentally get your steps in. It's the kind of exercise you don't argue with. They've got little things that make a difference too. A koi pond that slows you down for a second. Kid corners where families can reset. It's not just shopping. It's an experience you can stretch into a whole afternoon without even trying. Now let's talk convenience, because this place nails it. TriMet runs right through here with both bus and MAX light rail access. There's a park and ride, which is clutch. You can literally park your car and take the MAX straight out to Portland International Airport and skip the airport parking headache. That alone makes this place a power move. And the surrounding lineup is stacked. You've got the Residence Inn right in the mix, plus food spots like Claim Jumper, Oswego Grill, Mezcaluna, and fun like Dave and Buster's. Whether you're eating, hanging out, or making a night of it, it's all right there. Fun fact time. This mall first opened back in 1981 and has gone through multiple expansions to become one of the largest shopping centers in Oregon. It's also one of the few in the region that still feels modern, alive, and constantly evolving while others have slowed down or faded out. Inside, you've got everything from AT&T to REI and more shops than you'll realistically hit in one trip. You can come here for a couple errands and somehow lose a few hours without regret. Only downside. Parking can be a mission. You might end up a bit of a walk out. But honestly, that just adds to the experience. More steps, more time, more reason to wander. In my opinion, this is the mall in the Portland area. The others might exist, but this one actually delivers. It's clean, it's modern, it's full of life, and it gives you a reason to come back. If you're anywhere nearby and wondering where to go, this is it.

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.
