Crab bites ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I wanted to like this food. It looked appetizing at first. Unfortunately, it was pretty much inedible and/or poorly made. I live in Portland and this was my first time trying this place. It’s by far the worst food I’ve ever had in Portland. Let me explain. The sticky rice came in a Ziploc bag and was not even edible (see photos). It stuck to everything, even the box. I would have had to eat the whole ball in one bite but i didn’t want to do that because it was flavorless. Just add sauce then? Well, the sauces tasted like regular grocery store bottled sauce…. Nothing exciting. It gets worse with the meatballs? I had to double check the menu when i got home to make sure it said “beef meatballs”. I have never seen any meatball (not even a frozen one) that looked and tasted like this. It was hard to cut with a serrated knife!! The taste was not even identifiable. They were tough, spongy and not edible. The fried dough balls were nothing special and to add insult to an already horrible meal, the powdered? sugar was in rock hard clumps. The sugar was so hard I couldn’t even crush it between my fingers. I ate the pot stickers but I could have bought frozen food and saved 30 bucks. If you’re visiting Portland, take my advice and eat somewhere (anywhere) else.

Got the seasonal special Soft Shelled Crab Green Curry and it was delicious!!! Got so many delicious fried crabs, it was worth the price. Wish I was a local in the area because I would definitely want to come back to try their other menu items!

I originally was going to go to Matt’s BBQ next to this truck, but; they had sold out. Thank goodness! This place is wonderful! Some of the most flavorful food cart food I’ve ever eaten; She could only get better in a permanent location. The lemongrass Thai peanut sauce on the chicken was transcending… It has so much flavor. Simply delicious. The Laotian beef jerky was also very good. Deep Asian fusion flavors of garlic and fish sauce with a bit of heat on the back note. The coconut shrimp were good, but I did not care for the remulade dipping sauce. I felt it over garliced and took away from the shrimp. I give everything a 9 in total. I’ll definitely be back.

This place is my absolute go-to anytime I’m near Mississippi Ave! I used to work nearby and as a treat would go to White Elephant for lunch on the weekends. The food is always amazing, consistent, and utterly delicious. The wonderful people who work there are always so kind as well! Highly recommend. It’s my favorite food truck within the food cart pod, which is saying A LOT since that includes Fried Egg Im in Love and Matt’s BBQ. Everyone should go!

Lines are long for a good reason. Delicious food. Come with friends and share family style so you can try more things!

Stopped by White Elephant and picked up a light snack of Waterfall Beef (Lao jerky), coconut shrimp, and a thirst-quenching Thaiger Woods, which is a blend of lemonade and Thai iced tea. Perfect for a hot day! Everything hit the spot.

Got the pho rench dip with steak. This dish is totally worth it. The sandwich is overflowing with fresh and delicious veg and meat. The sandwich by itself is fantastic great use of green onion , cilantro, sprouts sauce . The steak was perfectly cooked and went great with the sandwich. Th pho soup on the side just added another lawyer to the sandwich where you can dip some of the bread and veg and get pho broth taste. Pho broth was on the lighter side for taste but I think that was good as the sandwich was the star .

Amanda Mailey
Damn Jen. This was amazing. Everything packed in such full umami flavor. The salmon belly was Thank you for feeding me and my family with all these incredible ingredients. So glad we stopped by and got the chance to meet you and your son.
