I've been waiting to review this new food pod station but wanted to wait until more food trucks opened. In one week, we have gone back three times to try them out. The station is located in the same parking area as Sunny's Diner and Big Al's. There's plenty of parking, unlike some places in Portland. There's play area with turf in the center of the food carts for children to play. There are plenty of seating inside and outside the patio. The bar and coffee shop are located inside. Individual Food cart reviews will be posted separately. Unfortunately, we missed some other food cart menus there like Kilos Smashburger (my kid's new go-to burger), Flavors of Joy, and more... The Vancouver Station is a great addition to East Vancouver food scene. I'm sure it'll only get better as more food carts are added. I would love to see a bbq joint, and/or fish and chip cart added in the mix (if anyone in management is looking for suggestions lol). read more

Food was so greasy. Hardly any options for choices Soft opening that they shouldn't be opening yet and they need to valuate their food trucks better We will never go back read more

This tiny cart just inside the gate on the left was super fast making four orders ! Ample servings very fresh vegetables excellent flavors and clean everything we sat on comfortable picnic tables made of butcher blocks I saw enormous tv set up inside for sports and some outside on the patio also. Perfect day outside but if it was raining I'd still comeback because it's well covered with lots of seating and games to play. Several choices and more food trucks are coming! Impressive food trucks to be sure read more

I went here 4 times in 3 days. There was only one cart that was sub optimal (chicken and rice middle eastern truck). The ice cream, tacos, shawarma and beer selection is excellent. The service is prompt, everyone use the same beeper system. There's a lot of fusion, they could use more selection (especially asian) but it's a great start. read more

Taqueria Don Jose food truck. Lunch today at Vancouver Station food carts. The station is very nicely laid out with indoor seating as well as outdoor seats even with fireplace tables. Don Jose truck however, was just so-so. Rice tasted like right out of a box, and the refried beans lacked any flavor at all. Carne asada taco was flavorful but slightly overcooked. Cheese enchilada not melted and came with very little, but good tasting sauce. I wont be back, but I also tried a carne asada taco and carnitas taco from "Don Luna?" food truck across from it, and they both had exceptional flavors ! read more

Spent the evening here with some drinks by the fire pit. More trucks are opening each day. Staff is frequently walking around to collect glasses and clean up. Loved the chill vibes and the ample seating. The staff inside was super friendly and helpful as we chose drinks. The arcade is $2 per play on everything. But there is a free space for kids with a kitchen and some toys. In addition to the bar, they have ice cream and coffee inside. Food trucks as of today included multiple taco trucks, schwarma, Thai, chicken and waffles, poke, a halal truck with a lot of gluten free options, bobalicious, and a spot with a burgers/hot dogs type selection. And don't forget the dirty sodas. It's coming together. Parking was crowded. But they will get there. It's worth checking out. read more

Nice addition to 164th. Plenty of parking, very nice atmosphere. Plenty of room for the kids to play, they had a couple of corn holes sets and there is a large 'grass' area to run around on. Several carts to choose from, but they do need more of a variety. There were several Mexican carts, thai, a burger and some other beverage/dessert types. There is a very nice indoor area with a full bar, tvs and and upstairs. Will be a lot better once they have more variety. But still a great place to go read more

Super nice, clean open space. Some food carts that were open are Thai food, poke, ice cream, chicken and waffles and I believe a taco food cart. We ate at the chicken and waffles place which was good. Also ordered pad kee mao at the Thai place. I was a bit disappointed. For $17.40 I don't think it was worth it. The broccoli was hard and hard to chew and lacked flavor. We also tried the soft serve that's located inside the station. Prices were reasonable but don't recommend the matcha flavor. It also had no flavor and did not taste like matcha. Would I come back? Possibly when they get more trucks. I would like to try the beers located in the food station. Would be perfect for a nice sunny summer day. read more

First time here tonight and really enjoyed Blessed, a gluten free truck. My partner has Hashimoto's and we were sad when another GF truck closed down. Amazing flavors in the food, ambiance is nice and service was amazing. The gentleman at Blessed even offered up a trial of a new menu item, which we liked better than the original (original was still amazing!). We will definitely be back here in the future! read more

Vancouver Station was a great experience. The atmosphere was inviting, the cocktails were refreshing and exceptional, and there was something for everyone. A special shoutout to The Blessed Bite food truck. Their fusion tacos, incredible sauces, fresh gluten-free menu, and outstanding hospitality made them the highlight of our visit. The food was packed with flavor, and the owner's kindness and passion made the experience even more memorable. We'll definitely be back. read more

Visited the bar and ordered a top shelf spirit for the end of day celebration! The bar staff was unfriendly, reluctant to fetch the bottle when asked for a specific spirit. They had a wet bar which I got wet when I approached it...gross. I then asked a few questions which they appeared to be completely oblivious too. I still tipped but that was not the service or experience I was hoping for. read more

To start, I don't think all of these food cart vendor spaces will ever get filled and if they do, there's going to be problems. Say they can hit saturation at 44 food carts, will they come? Say they come. There's not going to be enough parking, this is a shared lot with a ton of other businesses and I'm going to bet most people will drive not walk there, this is murica. The men's bathroom has 2 urinals and 1 toilet to satisfy 44 food carts worth of patrons. The food carts are going to literally be a couple feet from each other. That makes it very hard for the food cart owners to do their thing. Now you can't have anything but a front facing back loading cart and they haven't given enough space in many cases for any of this. Consider the fire risk alone stacking carts full of propane next to each other. Go there when it's pouring and see how well they've covered you outside as you order and wait. As for the inside, it's boring and big but unlikely big enough if this place hits the stride it was built for. Also, no napkins on the shared tables, cmon guys. The stagging negligence to detail has me thinking not only did they not get it right for a soft launch but they won't adjust for the real deal. I ate at the waffle cart which was a sandwich of two chicken tenders on store bought white bread buns with so much peanut sauce the bread was soaked through before I finished. Good luck Vancouver station! Hopefully just throwing a lot of crappy food carts at the situation will improve things. If you want an example of how to do this model well, go to the troutdale food carts. High quality carts with enough space between them, better indoor communal area, covered spaces outside to wait for your food, more parking, still crap bathrooms but still much better. This is not the model, The couve can do better. But by all means go give it a try once. I give it less than a year. read more

Great place to get dinner and a beer. Staying close enough to walk and enjoyed it much more than a traditional restaurant. Large selection of beers on tap and food trucks. After walking around and looking at the menus I selected "Lambbastic Lane" from Bless-ed. It was excellent! read more

On Friday evening the Vancouver Station had a band - the music set a very nice atmosphere. Too bad my Spicy Pork Bulgogi from Blessed-Bites was so bad. The veggies were barely more than raw and the pork was rubbery and lacked flavor. The rice was good and hot. read more

I've been to Vancouver Station multiple times and I have really enjoyed the atmosphere and bar! It's a great place to linger and enjoy a drink or meal. The place is kept very clean and roomy with lots of out-of-the way places to sit. It has an upstairs along with two rooptop patios. I found the bartenders to be very personable and friendly. My favorite drink is the Pisco Sour - it's excellent! I have had the chicken teriyaki with rice and vegetables and its' very good. They give you very large portions at every foodcart I've been to with plenty to take home. I also tried the Chicken Pad Thai which I enjoyed and had enough for multiple meals. They also have live music on Fridays and Saturdays from 6 to 9pm. You should go check them out! read more
