“ It was refreshing to stop at a cart and interact with somebody who was chipper and didn’t seem to hate life. My friend and I shared the chicken katsu bento box and it was fab. ”

“ Good bibimbap is my benchmark. Highly recommend. I will say it was mild so if you like spicy I'd ask for it. ”

“ Stopped at this food cart for the first time today. I haven't checked out this pod yet and loved taking a short walk to pick up lunch. I ordered the chicken bowl. The service was quick and friendly. The bowl had a good amount of chicken and rice included and had great flavor. The bowl was a good price. This food cart pod has a few tables inside a small fence and it was nice to sit for a few moments and enjoy the sun and city. I recommend this location and will stop by again. ”

“ Tried this place for the first time and ordered the spicy BBQ pork bento. It was delicious, definitely with a good kick to it. I’d def reccomend this spot, but just be aware when it says spicy, it’s gonna be spicy. ”

- Casey Evans -

“ Enthusiastically friendly. Huge portions of delicious rice topped with tender and savory meat for cheap. They make their own coleslaw by adding the mayo last so the cabbage is crisp and not soggy at all. Easy to find on the corner. No seating available. ”

“ Just stopped by for a quick bite. The food looks just like the photos and tastes even better. Be sure to stop by for the #1 Bento ”

- JP PEARCE -

“ Tried this place for the first time. Convenient location near the Max and park and if you’re working in the downtown area. I was able to order pick up and it was ready right on time. The portion is perfect for lunch and even though I didn’t think I’d eat the whole thing? I definitely did. I ordered through UberEats and I didn’t see anything to drink on the app menu but that wasn’t a big deal to me. Friendly staff, easy pick up. ”
