Great blend of korean flavored beef, melt cheese with kimchi, I approve this korean fusion take on american philly. Food came out fast and staff was super kind, one of the kindest staff I've seen. The whole place is super cute with a small cow truck. read more

Wow Cow - wow cheese steak small basil truffle fry - Korean Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Wow! What a great way to end our sisters trip. Glad we found this place. We went there for poke nachos and ended up walking over to Wow Cow and liked what we saw on the menu so we decided to try a few items. We ordered the Wow Cheese Steak, one slider and truffle fries. Everything was soooooo good, we devoured it. The cashier and owner were also both super nice and helpful. We also appreciate the owner walking all the way to his car to find us a little cow figurine for us as thye had recently ran out. Would love to come back with the kids one of these days. I love the fact that it's posted in front of a splash park. The location is great, kid-friendly, great food, great service, and great prices! Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 read more

Move over Philly, there's a new cheesesteak in town! I was first introduced to this Korean American fusion food truck through a Yelp event and I was hooked from the first bite. Since it's just a few minutes from Costco, I have made this part of my monthly Costco run. First I do my shopping, then get gas, then head to Wow Cow for a delicious and savory meal. While I really like their Kalbi burger and the accompanying fixings, the Wow Cheesesteak is the lure for me. The Kolby marinated steak provides a sweet note to the contrasting spicy jalepeno, pungent kimchi, and carmelized sauteed onions and peppers. I now ask for extra kimchi because it's addicting! For me, the Wow cheesesteak is two meals; I enjoy half right there hot off the grill, then have the other half for dinner heating it up in the toaster oven. The fries are also a standout with the basil adding a wow factor. See how I did that? Pun intended. Their variations all include something that makes it different, upleveled, and has you saying, wow. Located in the Universal Plaza in Tigard, which is just a few blocks off 99, there are a few other food trucks lined up along side the park. There are several tables and umbrellas so you can enjoy your meal there. I've yet to try any of the other food trucks since I'm going there specifically for Wow Cow. You don't have to search for their truck; Wow Cow stands out with their inflatable cow out front and the cow print on their truck. Food is made fresh to order so if you going during prime hours, like 12pm, be patient, it's worth the wait. Plenty of street parking makes it super convenient. read more

A very nice food truck park is forming in downtown Tigard and Wow Cow is part of it! I loved their cheese burger. The marinated patty gives a whole different flavor. And the best part is that it isn't spicy at all!! I asked for the sauces on the side, which the team promptly made it happen! I loved the location outdoors with nice and clean tables, great for the spring afternoon I visited the place! read more

Kalbee Burger - good amount of beef - 1/2 lb for $13.50 is reasonable - enjoyed the tempura flakes in the beef patty, added some nice texture - buns were nicely toasted and it was overall a solid burger Sliders were nothing to write home about Fries were nice and crispy, basically McDonald's style. I like how they were garnished and had just the right level of saltiness. Garlic aioli and their wow sauce were amazing. The garlic aioli was my absolute favorite and went so well with the burger and fries. I'd come back to try their cheese steak and would get extra garlic aioli sauce. read more

Food: Korean Philly (3/5) Super soft bread with tender, thick-cut beef, gooey cheese, and tasty onions. Overall good, especially for what it is. I asked the staff for recommendations, and this was what they suggested. While I enjoyed it, I realized I'm more of a burger person. Kalbee Burger (4/5) (my wife's order) I actually liked this more. You can definitely taste the bulgogi-style sauce in the patty. The little crunchy tempura flakes added a great texture and flavor. Fries (3/5) Seemed like they already had salt and basil on them. The staff let me try a variety of sauces, which was a nice touch. I'm partial to the garlic aioli, but I do love garlic. Service (4/5): Friendly and accommodating. They were helpful with recommendations and generous with letting us try different sauces. Ambiance: Food cart setup near a field with plenty of outdoor shaded seating. Casual and easygoing, good for just hanging out and eating. Note: They've started giving out loyalty stamp cards and even tiny cow figurines, which are actually really cute. read more

Their Korean Philly cheesesteak is incredibly good, packed with so much flavor and perfectly melted cheese.

The area is quite nice. I'd imagine even better when it is warmer but the space is fantastic. It's a park, summer time farmers market, and trails running through it. The people at WOW cow is super friendly and explained and menu to me. Nice. The Philly they had was great, juicy and flavorful. The sliders were a bit dry, bring shredded meat. The fries were great. Overall great! read more

Their name says it all, Wow Cow deals out some fantastic meat sandwiches. I got an opportunity to enjoy Wow Cow as apart of a Yelp Elite event and was so glad that WC was brought into my life. I had the kalibee burger. It was perfectly cooked, the lettuce & pickles were a great addition, and the Korean sauce took it over the top. At a lot of places the fries can be an afterthought...but not at Wow Cow. The fries at WC are crispy with truffle oil and basil on them. Just majestic fries. This small food truck packs a lot of flavor. The staff was very friendly and the park where the truck is located is a great spot for an outdoor lunch. Go check out Wow Cow NOW. read more

Wow Cow - kalbee burger with truffle fries - Korean Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Food here is fantastic. We tried the truffle fries, Kalbi burger, and the WOW Philly cheesesteak sandwich -- everything was absolutely delicious. There are only three carts in the area. The only downside, especially during winter, is that there's no covered seating, so you'll need to take your order to-go or eat in your car. Definitely give them a try. The burgers are fresh, meaty, and juicy -- you won't regret it. read more

Kalbi Burger A standout! Toasted brioche bun, crisp butter lettuce, spicy mayo, red onion, and pickles all came together perfectly. The flavor really nailed that kalbi taste -- juicy, well-balanced, and full of that smoky-sweet Korean BBQ note. Fries Golden, crispy, and nicely seasoned. The truffle and basil flavors could've been stronger, but still delicious overall with a great crunch. Staff were super friendly and patient with everyone! Definitely check this place out! read more

i've caught these guys several times when I've been over to "downtown" Tigard for one reason or another. I figured with that name the burgers had to be pretty decent and they didn't disappoint. But I especially liked the Philly cheesesteak (Korean style), Natives of Philadelphia would sneer of course and their offering bears little resemblance to a Philly no whiz.... but it's a darned decent, tasty sangwich. Left coasters will not know the difference and will probably like it. I'm not crazy about their fries but that's how it goes sometimes. I'm kinda snobish about fries so no minus stars for that. If they are in the little food court here when I am nearby I'll likely stop in. read more

Some solid food from this food cart in Tigard. We had the Korean Philly, basil Truffle fries, and bop bowl. The Philly was good as it had a bulgogi beef as the base of the sandwich. The Truffle fries were great and the bop bowl was good. read more

OK, I admit, I was a Korean Philly Cheese Steak virgin until finding the Wow Cow food truck in downtown Tigard. They call themselves "an innovative mix of Korean and American flavors, where traditional Korean bulgogi beef meets American comfort food choices." And comfort food is right. You can't go wrong with either the "Wow Cheese steak" ($12.99) or the "Korean Philly" ($11.99). The only difference I could see was the addition of cream cheese on the Korean Philly. Both feature marinated steak, melted cheesy goodness, grilled veggies (onions, bell peppers & jalapenos), spicy kimchi, all on a soft, fresh hoagie roll. It's an absolute mess to eat but worth every bite (and do not ask me to share!) The menu also features bowls & sliders, basil truffle fries, chicken nuggets, and a "kalbee" burger that must be seen to be believed. The Universal Plaza in downtown Tigard is a great place to relax and let the kiddlings run around too. There's a splash pad and plenty of shaded tables around the area. Very friendly owners and cute little stickers are free. Ask them anything about their food, they are happy to chat you up about everything they serve. read more

I'm always little skeptical about fusion style restaurants but this one really nailed it. Firstly the staff were all super friendly and helpful with the menu items. My wife and I split the Kalbi burger and the Korean Philly as well as the Wow fries. Everything we got was great. Of the 3 the burger definitely stood out to me as being the most well balanced. My only note is that in the description it describes the patty as 1/2 lb and it very well might be, but it didn't quite feel as massive as I was expecting. Similarly with the Korean Philly, although everything tasted amazing, the ratio of of meat to to bun felt off and towards the end of the hoagie it felt as if I was only eating bun. Honestly the fries were sort of the stand out! great ratio of meat to fries, perfectly seasoned, and crispy. read more

Still awesome service and always amazing food!! Bop bowl, sliders and wow fries are our faves!!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, as I'd never even had a cheese steak before, but I was blown away! At risk of sounding dramatic, I have thought about this food many times since having it, and been sad that I wasn't closer to go get some. The guys working were friendly and helpful, the food was incredible, the park where they are located was a lovely spot to eat in the evening. Honestly, it truly lives up to the name: " WOW". I tried both the Kowboy and the Korean cheesesteak (because I couldn't choose) and both were absolutely phenomenal read more

Wow Cow - The cheese steak (without onions because we just don't get along) - Korean Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Came here for a nice little day date with my husband. He loves a fun burger and Asian fusion so it was a must try. This truck is located in a cute little place with a couple of other trucks, none of which were open. The owner of the truck is very friendly. He knew just about everyone that walked by. He made us feel very welcome and even suggested a few dishes. We were not in a hurry so the time it took to get our order wasn't an issue, but if you are on a time crunch it could be an issue. The food was good. The burger felt a bit overpriced as it is $13ish and doesn't come with anything. Of course beef costs are high right now, so we let this slide. I got the bop bowl with an egg and kimchi which made it $17. I can't say that I found the additions to be worth it. The friendly owners and location mean we will be back some time. But I'll just be more strategic with my order. read more

[ food ]: 9.5/10 - taco: The worker recommended them, mentioning that the kimchi gives it more depth of flavor and some punch, and I'd say I agree! The tacos were really well balanced, not too heavy and were refreshing on a warm summer day. - basil fries: I always get some of their basil fries, they have a similar texture and shape as mcD's fries but are more elevated [ service ]: 10/10 - the employee and owners are all very nice, hospitable, and attentive! [ ambience ]: 8/10 - Food cart has some table seating but I see a lot of people eating at benches in the plaza read more

Wow Cow is a food cart located near Main Street in downtown Tigard next to the splash pad. It is easily found by its black spots! There is plenty of seating available with shade but we chose to take our food back home. Though, this would be a great place for folks with young children to enjoy a meal and watch them play on the splash pad. The server seemed new and there was some difficulty with communicating due to the loud music. We got the sliders and the bop bowl. My favorite was the bop bowl. I loved the sauce that came with it- it was spicy and sweet simultaneously. The sliders definitely were more on the American side of the flavor spectrum. Very tasty, I will definitely be coming back! read more

So I saw this food truck with the cute inflatable cows today, & thought I'd give "Wow Cow" a try, since I love Korean food. Ordered the bop bowl ($14) & a side of chicken nuggets ($5). While the nuggets were meh (think McDonalds, but with more interesting sauces), the bibimbap, which I got with a fried egg & side of kimchi, was super yummy!! There was a generous amount of marinated beef, which was delicious mixed with the rice, grilled corn, cucumber, pickled onions & radish shoots. While I wish the bop sauce had been spicy, the food was tasty enough that I'd order it again. Glad I found this place! read more

I love smashburgers, fusion food, and Korean food, so when I searched for "smash burger near Portland" and came up with Wow Cow, I was pleased as punch. At first, I had a little trouble finding the place. It was in a pop up food cart in a little square made just for burgeoning new pop up food businesses. I think I've died and gone to foodie heaven. The whole menu sounded amazing, and it was hard to pick something out. I was really on the fence between ordering something more American or Korean. I ended up ordering the Korean Philly, which was the less daring (more American) of the two Philly options. The meat was amazing. I wouldn't really know how to describe it except that it reminded me of the Bulgogi beef at my favorite Korean spot in Sac. The flavor was WOW. I mean, real flavor, not just oil. The meat was perfectly marinated and tender AF, and there was plenty of it. I loved the toppings, but I think I would have actually liked the Wow Philly even more. If I came back again, I would order that. The man who took my order, who I think might have been the owner, was super cool. When he handed me my food he said, "Here's your Philly... and your micro cow. Moooo." How could you not laugh? It was so silly it was cute. The cookie was definitely Chips Ahoy or something, but it was only 99 cents. Bomb meal and the price was surprisingly low overall considering the value of the meat, cheese, and bread. read more

Food was tasty, loved how close the walking trail is after a nice meal. The fries were a must try as well as the sauces

Some of the best burgers. The kalbi patty is to die for. Their kimchi is also very good. I recommend getting both and adding the kimchi to each bite. They also have great fries! This is a food truck but there is some seating posted in front of it. The service was great, fast and friendly. Cute little tid bit: They have stickers and little cows they give out! Super cute. read more

Fun little food cart in the Tigard launch pods (which I can't wait to visit in summer because they have great outdoor seating and a restroom for use). We ordered a ton of things on the menu after the staff walked us through some of our questions (and gave us these adorable tiny plastic cows to take home!): Wow Cheesesteak- this was one of our favorites. Really nice balance of flavors here. Bop Bowl + egg and kimchi- the two girls' favorites and what one person deemed as "basically fried rice". A decent portion size and loved that you could customize this to be your own. Sliders-a favorite of one in the group and the recommendation from the food cart staff. Nice flavor and portioned well. Wow Fries- really good. Dressed with basically the toppings of everything else we ate. The basil truffle was just ever so noticeable. We would like to try them on their own, and imagined they'd be quite crispy if they're anything like the nuggets. Korean Chicken Nuggets- after giving my husband a hard time for ordering this - which I perceived to be a kids food item - four adults confirmed that this was everyone's favorite part of the meal! Absolute must try! Best nuggets I've ever had. Get the gochujang sauce! Looking forward to returning for the Kalbee burger and the Deji dog. read more

Kalbee Burger Wow, this burger is totally BURSTING with flavor. The grilled onions hit you with sweetness, which is balanced with pickles and the beautifully cooked beef.

Came here after being intrigued by the menu (love asian fusion) and particularly amused by a "bad" fries review. My buddy and I got the sliders and philly. We were going to get the fries but they were temp out of them. I jokingly made a remark that it was OK as I saw a review that the fries were not that great. The owner laughed it off in good fun and said he thought the fries were good and that it was unfortunate that someone didn't like them. I told him no worries and that we were excited to try the other stuff. When the food came out, accompanying our order was some fries (they had a delivery come in while we were waiting) to our amazement. As for the sliders and philly, they were both awesome, well prepared, and great portions. And the fries? They were crispy, well-seasoned and hit the spot!! We'll be back! read more

Go here. If you're reading this and wondering if you should check it out. Make it happen. Jay and team are wonderful people and the food is a flavorful adventure that you don't want to miss.

I see myself as a breakfast burrito connoisseur and this is hands down in my Top 3 across the west coast.

The food was delicious. I had the Wow cheesesteak and fries. The kimchi gave a nice spice just as you finished your bite. The meat was nice and sweet so the two together was a nice compliment. The only thing I would change is the roll. I lost a lot of filling when I picked up the cheesesteak. The truffle fries were so yummy. I could just eat them plain but they gave me a couple sauces to try. The garlic aioli was my favorite. The staff were amazing, so personable and welcoming. The young lady provided me with a couple of restaurant recommendations as I'm here visiting. I really appreciated that. I'll definitely be back! It's a food truck and the setting is comfortable.

My daughter and I stopped by here on a Saturday for lunch. We loved it! We were so hungry, so we got: * Bop Bowl ($12.75) + added a fried egg ($1) * Sliders ($12.95) * Korean Chicken Nuggets ($7.75) * Side of basil truffle fries ($4.00) The Bop Bowl was large -- enough for two meals for me, so average eaters will likely have at least some leftovers. I like the mix of textures and flavors that come in this bowl, and got it without the cheese. I actually think it's probably better without the cheese. But definitely add the fried egg! The sliders came in a set of 3 sliders with braised ribeye steak, and were so good. The meat was tender, well seasoned, and I thought the sliders were a good size. Our fave, though, were the Korean chicken nuggets. They were so crispy and tasty! My daughter really loved the basil truffle fries, and one portion is huge. I'm itching to try their burgers now -- they looked so good, so I'll have to get that next time. Love the extras of cute little cow stickers and a teeny tiny little plastic cow figure we got with our order. I'm collecting these now because I know we'll be back many times. The food is really tasty and I thought the prices were reasonable for the quantity and quality of food. The owner Jay was the one who made our food, and he is super nice and friendly. He made our order pretty quickly. We hadn't been to University Plaza before this, and it's a nice gathering spot where the food cart is located next to two other carts. It's a nice open outdoor space, with lots of picnic tables, open space, and kids play area. Definitely suggest you check out WowCow and support this local business! We will be back for sure. read more

A buddy from work tipped me off to this spot, and I'm glad he did--Wow Cow absolutely lives up to the hype. This is the kind of place you plan your day around. The fusion of Korean BBQ flavors with classic pub-style comfort food is done perfectly, not just as a gimmick but with real attention to flavor. The wow fries are exactly what the name promises--crispy, loaded, and packed with bold, savory flavor. The burger is just as impressive: juicy, well-balanced, and anything but ordinary. But the real surprise for me was the sliders. Tried them for the first time today, and they instantly became my new go-to. Everything I've had here hits that perfect mix of rich, satisfying, and crave-worthy. You can tell there's consistency and care in every item, which explains the near-perfect rating. If you're into Korean food, pub food, or just big flavor in general, this spot is a must. Definitely worth going out of your way for. Their 4.9 rating tells the story. read more
