What Clients Say

Truly unique food. The noodles have some unique shapes here and there which personally I loved as it reminded me how homemade this is. The flavor was so good I almost couldn’t stop eating but fullness struck. I couldn’t help but finish it again later in the same day. Could t even wait for the following day. I do wish there were more veggies and slightly less noodles. But hey, it’s called “stretch the noodle” I guess so can’t complain. I asked for their recommendation and they said the number 2. Definitely a good pick. I love spice and enjoyed it a lot. The food truck park isn’t too crowded and there’s a lot of options there. Also not too hard to park.

Eating spicy hand pulled noodles soup here under the big tent with the cozy heaters was the perfect Portland tourist attraction for a rainy day! When I visit the city from the country, I always try to eat authentic Chinese food, and this was a hit! The food cart pod park is very clean and safe and trendy and affordable. I wish I was a Moose because then I'd have 4 stomachs, so I could try everything on the menu here!

My latest, greatest new discovery here in Portland. Spoke with the owner and started my journey this week with the Chow Mein. Incredible attention to detail, lots of layers of flavor, beautifully presented. Other nice touches: it's a cart that uses the old school chalkboard to hand write out the day's menu. That was taken, by me, as a signal--which turned out to be true. :-) 10/10

Excellent hand pulled noodles. Both types of noodles were made in front of us, and both were fantastic. Pork and shrimp dumplings were also some of the best Ive had. Highly recommended! The neighborhood is a bit sketchy and there are a handful of shared public tables. Still worth it.

It is hard to find Biang Biang noodles, and usually they are not this good. The noodles here are authentic and delicious. I highly recommend them, reminds me of Xian. A must try!
