“ We just arrived in Portland and took a tip from the taxi driver so we went to this truck food court. The lady at the Korean place was incredibly nice and sweet and the burrito is absolutely the best burrito I have had and its huge. we also loved the vegetarian yakisoba. We will definitely be back. ”
“ The best food cart in downtown! I always stop here for a burrito if Im in the area, but everything they make is delicious and fresh _ The sweet lady who owns the business is a real peach, always friendly and quick service. EDIT Still the best! Came back after a long hiatus from the Portland area and the Beer Garden is a total vibe. Still very kindhearted and extremely efficient service. Dont miss it! ”
“ Such a fun concept. I love bulgogi and I love burritos, but never thought of putting them together. It is also a decently thick and fat burrito. Definitely worth it for the price. Ill be back! ”
“ This place did not disappoint. We walked all over downtown shopping and decided Korean was gonna be it for a late lunch. It started to drizzle so luckily the food came out fairly quick. The area has some unsavories but we were not pestered. I ordered the tofu burrito and it was huge and filling for 9. The kid had the bulgogi plate and said it was good. We shared yakisoba and had leftovers of that for later. The yakisoba was not oversaturated in sauce which I liked however, if you prefer a more bolder taste in your noodle you might be saddened. My burrito had lots of sauce built in, so the noodles provided enough blandness I needed. With that being said, I didnt need to order noodles but thought the burrito wasnt going to fill me. Well it did. I shouldve stopped halfway, but it was so good I forced myself to eat it all. We walked the 10 minutes to the car in cold and slightly drizzling weather and the food was still warm. Be prepared, there are a lot of homeless in the area asking for loose changedollars. Many were talking to themselves. I give them vendors credit and will continue to support them. ”

“ I ordered bulgogi burrito bowl. It was delicious. Definitely ask for extra of their mayo sauce. Im a sucker for food truck pods and this one was a vibe. ”
