Rose City Food Park

Service varies depending on how busy everyone is--and you should expect that, especially from food trucks (limited space = limited staff) during busy times. I love this set of carts for many reasons: there is a whole parking lot available, there are a wide variety of options, the grounds are clean (thanks to adequate garbage and recycling), and there is adequate seating, plus there is a tap room with beer and cider on tap (I think there's wine too, but I always get cider so I could be wrong) and options in cans. I've eaten from at least three trucks and not been disappointed. Last time I went to Rose City Food Park our party had a vegetarian, a vegan, and two omnivores. We all left satisfied. This is a great option to support small businesses--don't miss the breakfast-only cart (breakfast hours only).

When we arrived there was a loud power wash being used. Making it hard to hear each other. Tried fried rice which was good and portion was a lot for the price.

Best parking for food carts in the area. If you’re going here TRY GULI KITCHEN for gyros and shawarma, best I’ve ever had!

I wish I could rate individually, but I can't seem to find somewhere to rate the cheesestake place other than here. We had sushi, burritos, birria, Philly cheesesteak and truffle fries. Everything was delicious except the Philly and truffle fries. It was bland, and didn't seem like the best quality meat. Amd the fries were just covered in liquid cheese. I'm sure lots of people would love it, but it wasn't for me at all. All the other carts were delicious. The birria was amazing, as well as the consome. I did leave individual reviews for those carts on their own pages. If I was rating just the cheesesteak cart, I would probably give 3 stars instead of 4

It was really nice. The chef didn't catch my order at first, but corrected his mistake very quickly. 4 Stars. I had the lamb platter. The serving of meat was very large. I couldn't eat it all. [ Shawarma ]

Quite a few food cart options here. Thai, Tibetan, Mexican, coffee, beer, American, etc. There's lots of seating, including under cover. Steady for a Sunday afternoon but not crowded. I'll be back to try something new. The basil chicken from the Thai spot was great. Also enjoyed the ice tea

We went to the Hungry Kitty. The fries are the best I've ever had... beer-battered and infused with herbs. And the blackened shrimp po' boy sandwich is wonderful.

I loved the variety and all 4 carts we visited were awesome. The atmosphere was nice and people were friendly. I wish there had been some outdoor heaters. Every food cart park should have a coffee cart and a good variety.

New Cart!!!! Went down to get a sushi burrito from a food truck here and the place was gone and found this place - Ocean Sushi - in its place. Looked over their menu - - lots of yummy rolls to choose from - - and decided to give it a try. Didn't take too long for them to prepare my order - - no worries, the weather was beautiful, I was there to eat and was enjoying a cider from Adda Beer. They were out of seaweed salad, their miso soup had good flavor and was full of tofu and seaweed. And the sushi was fresh and tasty. Now I just have to hope they are open next time I stop by.

We were dropping someone off at the airport during rush hour and wanted to find a good spot to eat nearby while the traffic cleared. Let me tell you, this food truck park was the perfect solution! Convenient Location & Diverse Options It wasn't far from the airport at all, which was ideal. Plus, with four of us in our group, the variety of food trucks was fantastic. Everyone found something delicious from a different vendor. Amazing Beer Garden & Knowledgeable Staff But the real star of the show was the adorable beer garden! It was the perfect place to gather after grabbing food. The guy working there were incredibly passionate about beer, and their enthusiasm was contagious. He was super helpful in explaining the different options, which made choosing a beer so much fun (and educational!). Highly Recommend! If you're looking for a great place to eat near the Portland airport, especially with a group, look no further! This food truck park has delicious food trucks, a fantastic beer garden, and a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend checking it out!

So I had to try the Portland food truck scene and it was very cool. Rose City Food Park offers a large variety of food trucks and cuisines to choose from all in one location with many areas for covered or uncovered dinning. Foods offered included Hawaiian BBQ, Mexican, Thai, Cajun, American and more. I had some awesome spicy Thai beef, veggies and rice. It was great. I enjoyed the out side experience, the relaxed environment, and the selection of great food. The service was fast and courteous. Great experience at Rose City Food Park....

A hidden food trick gem here in Portland! Rose City Food Park consists of 7-8 permanent trucks that offer a variety of bites and SO many options for vegans/vegetarians. I counted at least half of the trucks being plant based, which made my heart sing a bit. Leave it to PDX to offer trucks that cater entirely to my dietary needs. Some of the truck varieties include: - Plant-based comfort foods - Sushi/musubi/salad bowls - Plant-based cheese steaks - Cafe truck - Chamorro cuisine - Mediterranean cuisine - BOOZE! A small dedicated parking lot next to the park is available, so no need to look for street parking unless it's full. Will definitely return to this food park again one day.

I feel like I am not a food park person but I get why you would be. I have a cane so I am down to one hand carrying things which makes it awkward and picnic tables are not great for my situation. Also, I went here on a Sunday so there were only three places in the whole park open mid day which is apparently a thing our group knew - except the few of us who were not food park folks. So, I say these things to let you know, if you are like me that the hours do not guarantee the trucks are all going to be open since they are individuals. It worked out since I was mainly there to spend time with friends and grab something to drink versus food. The food - mostly from the sushi fusion spot looked good. I grabbed some beverages at the shawarma spot and was bummed I was not hungry since it smelled amazing! Parking is a touch awkward since this area is pretty busy. I drive a tiny car so all the SUVs street parked make turning onto the street inconvenient since some cars drive fast ad some slow etc. Just be careful while you do 'the hunt'.

Great selection and variety at this location. Indoor setting for pub with warehouse style door to open up as well In hot days. Ample seating and parking. Come and enjoy some great food!

This place keeps getting better. They added a new indoor seating area with AC, heat and televisions with sports. 13 food carts and 3 or 4 vegan options. Sushi, wood fired pizza, vegan cheese steaks, great coffee, Vietnamese, Thai just to name a few. Parking and brick and mortar bathrooms.

I absolutely love this little tucked away food park! My favorite spot is Abba Beer. Afternoon mimosas is where it's at y'all. I felt comfortable and the service was way friendly. I also like Let's Roll for the musubi. Yum!

Walking distance from my hood, this pod has seen its fair share of carts that have been there for years and newer carts that have been a great addition as well. The beer cart is roomy and has a nice assortment of beer on tap. There is plenty of seating and parking too so don't feel intimidated to stop by. Rain or shine it's worth coming here for a delicious meal that always satisfies. There is something for everyone even if carts operate at different times at different days. I always manage to try something new if it catches my eye and most plates are always affordable too. Even during the pandemic times, they have been great with having tables spread out and the area clean at the times I have visited. My friends and I enjoy coming here and the carts have some amazing friendly folk as well, cheers!

Great seating and quick service from Simply Thai. I've been to this food park for breakfast, lunch and dinner options and there's always a few vendors open.

The chicken, Philly, cheesesteak with mushrooms, onions, peppers, and melted. Provolone is one of the best Phillies I've ever had. Their truffle fries were also excellent.

Great pod! I appreciate the amount of seats and the variety of food. Also, having a bathroom is an added bonus!

It's fun atmosphere and there are a lot of good choices of food there. Each person in your party is bound to find what they like. There's also a cool Comic book store a few steps up the street.

Great food truck spot. Met with a friend. We all ordered from different trucks and got some beers. Parking lot nearby and street parking available. Really cool place to hang out.

Stopped first at the brewery for some cold beer. The bartender let us try different craft beers and was able to pin point the perfect choice. Great Service. Next we got lamb gyros. The lamb was excellent and the portion sizes were huge. Definitely worth the price. Will be back.

There is tons of seating there is tons of food trucks from different countries food to try all in one

This pod has taken a backseat to ones with higher foot traffic. While there are decent options, there's no marquee tenant, e.g., a Nong's, Portland Soup Co., etc. At times it's a semi ghost town. They do house El Guero, which serves one of my favorite breakfast burritos in town. Conversely, they also rent to Mr. _____, which is one of my least favorite. A few carts such as GF Chef and Rocket Breakfast have a loyal following. I miss the produce stand. It's generally clean and offers a big heated tent. Parking is usually easy, if not right on Sandy Blvd., then in the spacious back lot.

Super chill food cart pot. There's lots of seating including a good chunk of shaded seating. There's also a decent amount of parking. Be forewarned, once you're in the parking area there's no exit except for Sandy. Also, a lot of food carts seem closed on Sundays.

I am so excited!!!!! Like OH MY GOD!! Maybe nobody else is as excited about this as I am but I discovered hidden in the back of the lovely lil food park around the block from my house....the BEST RUSSIAN food I have had in Portland. I ordered their special for $12 and The borsht with its sweet beets and cabbage was some of the best I have had....and I'm Russian. The Galubtsi (Cabbage Rolls) were well seasoned and every bite was just amazing. It was pure comfort food for me. It also came with bliny,which is a Russian crepe, that had sweet farmers cheese, strawberries and banana....I gave it to my niece so I can't really review the flavor but it looked good. Then lastly is came with wonderfully juicy meat pie made with lamb and onions. I saved it and ate it later and every bite was perfect. I puff pastry was buttery and the meat was seasoned to perfection. I'm in love - the sweet lady that was at the cart is going to me my new Totya (Auntie)! If you haven't tried Russian food and would like to...go see her. If you have tried Russian food and like me have been looking for a place close by then come here. I'm sure the other carts are good to hear..but I had to let you all know about this lil hidden gem so she can stay in business and I can greedily have access to her food more often.

Perfect pod location. This neighborhood needs it! All the vendors are here to stay, and there are a lot of them. Parking can be a problem, but it is worth it. Shaved ice, beer, Asian, Mexican, sandwiches, and dogs. Breakfast to dinner. They do have dedicated, limited parking in back and real restrooms.

Update on the changes to Rose City Food Park. Traditional Russian Cuisine has packed up and left, La Arepa has moved to The Barley Pod Food Park on NE 60th and Halsey, and PDX Six Seven One has morphed into Chochu Local. Same cart, different name. Remaining are a still-impressive array of first-rate carts including El Guerro, Vivi's Yummy Rolls, Momo House, Smak Dabs, Istanbul Delight, GF Chef, Rocket Breakfast, Hollywood Smoothies, Southern Smoke BBQ, Let's Roll PDX, Bangkok Express, and the Thirsty Barn Beer Garden. Word has it that later this summer Golden Triangle Asian Fusion will be joining the crowd. If you're coming for a specific cart be sure to check their hours and list of open days. Covered tables, public restrooms, ample off-street parking. Nearly every cart listed here is someone's absolute favorite, which makes this food park truly special.

This is definitely an awesome find. There are so many great food options, but I tried Momo House, Tibetan food, and I got the beef momo and chili pork with broken rice and it was truly amazing. There is a great beer spot called Adda Beer, with all local beers (Portland and Seattle) and serving the beer is Chris, who truly defines hospitality! This is a spot I'll hit, every time in Portland

Best little food cart pod around! If your vegetarian they have lots of choices. They even have a vegan cart with chicken sandwiches. Also have sushi, Mexican, beer cart, Thai and more. Umbrellas at the picnic tables, plenty of seats. Clean and family friendly #GregEats #GregTravels

Honestly not much to say here because I prefer to review the food on the food truck's individual accounts. But this place is pretty cool since it houses a bunch of different food trucks. There's also a beer garden smack dab in the middle, which not only provides alcohol, but also restrooms and protection from the elements. Pretty cool spot. I'd come to check out the various trucks parked here!

Rose City Food Park has become one of my favorite food pods here on the east side of town. In this city where pods have been dropping at an alarming rate, it's good that this one doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Yes, the food has rotated out quickly for some of the spots but something new is ready to replace it. There's Chinese, Thai, Mexican, arepas, Vietnamese, Japanese, Gluten Free, bagels, a bacon cart, hot dogs and burgers and some decent beer. They have their own free WIFI and plenty of seating (including covered). I have written reviews for several of the individual carts so I won't go into detail here, but this is a great group of carts and I keep coming back to try more. Enjoy.

Just moved to Portland and this spot has been our family's new favorite place to eat out. We've had something from almost every truck by now and it has been consistently tasty. The tables are clean with lots of shaded/covered spots and there are tons of kid options on the menus. Carts that are open vary, but you can't really go wrong. Nice little pop up bar too that doesn't mind explaining the beer options in a nice way. Things are decently spread out too, especially for the earlier lunch and dinner times, if you are easing out of lock down mode.

We had an excellent meal from the Shawarma food truck during our road trip to Portland. Portions were large, and the food was very tasty.

Decent Food Park. A little too quiet on Mondays.

I wrote a review of the Hillsdale Food Cart Pod as a model of spreading the food cart movement to more suburban environments and a wider population of eaters. Rose City joins that philosophy in providing a spacious and welcoming pod that can appeal to a broad audience. This is a review of the pod and not the individual carts. You can read those as you like. Portland has pods niched to lunchtime office workers, grab after work-take home dinners, late night clubbers, weekend strollers, the brunch wait challenged, students and more. Some have beer and wine too. Some have impossible parking, challenging parking, bike parking and no parking. There are variations on waste handling from overflowing trash containers to well considered thinking about waste. Occasionally you will find music, and often you will find the neighbors have declared war on the music and won. Rose City has a nicely "L" shaped layout. They have a leg fronting on busy Sandy, but almost all of the pod is behind the Sandy businesses and next to a nicely muralled retaining wall. For vehicles, the pod and some parking is accessible by a narrow street off Sandy. Some of the carts have their own seating and there is common seating at picnic tables under canopies. The time I visited, there was a singer songwriter doing low volume covers under one canopy with seating. Rose City has done one thing unique. Every vendor has committed to compostable or washable packing-plating for eat-there or take-home. That means all the disposal is in one compost bin. There is a cart with a barn structure licensed for beer and wine which can be consumed seated under any of the covered areas. There were about half a dozen micros available. That beer was served in washable plastic glasses. I was struck on a Friday dinner time by the family-friendly atmosphere, perhaps due to the proximity of the Laurelwood day care center nearby. Parentals and kidentals come from near and maybe far. And for those kidlets, it's a great introduction to the possibilities for cart food. Of the two carts I sampled, and perhaps a review awaits, I would not say the spices were strong. But maybe that's what this pod wants to be. I did visit the Kruger's produce market and I have to laud it. I am a student of produce and I enjoy produce shopping. In Portland early August season, Krugers has a range of prices, but always excellent quality. Some prices are super bargains. Some are a little higher than cheaper competitors with huge market power. So I would recommend shopping at Krugers, who can never, and shouldn't ever, try to beat loss leader produce sellers, but sometimes does! Rose City is a well curated food cart pod that is family friendly and welcoming to everyone of any age who wants to experience Portland's food cart culture.

The Sky can't always be blue, but the blue wall keeps this food park bright in any given weather. But lets be honest, you aren't going for the artwork. This is a good pod that gets a lot of business from me based on the location, if it wasn't so close I wouldn't find myself here so often. Here is the lowdown. They have about 10 carts ranging from "Meh" to "pretty damn good". So here they are: Thai food - great price for some tasty thai Burgers - I haven't tried, but they look good Soup & Grilled Cheese - I don't know why I haven't tried this cart, it seems awesome. I feel the grilled cheese cart trend is overblown, but every time I try one I eat my words. Lamb Shack - All local farm raised lamb makes for a good Gyro. Not the best in town but worth trying. Fresh food and friendly people, a good combo. Smoothies - Good variety of smoothies made by bike power. You can mix your own smoothie on the extra stationary bike if you want. Bagels - They do some good bagel sandwiches, the eggs and meat are grilled to order, not made in a microwave, thats a win! Chinese - Meh, maybe this category is just difficult to wow me. Super friendly owner though and good prices. Italian - A lot of $ for not much Mexican - Great breakfast burritos for $5! Do it! Guam Food - Get a Fiesta plate, its awesome. They are only open from noon - 2pm and run out of items sometimes.

Had a fantastic Asian lunch here last week. The Pork Belly fried rice was the best ever. Pad Thai was made well too. Vegetables still had a bit of crunch, seasoning was just right. I am happy to have found this cart and can't wait to go back.

Nice food truck park! On the way to the airport, we wanted some brunch for an affordable cost, so we swung by. Originally came for Rocket Breakfast but got some bagels as well! Lovely patio area for sitting as well. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and lots of variety!

I can't remember all the names of the carts, but here is a quick review. Pad sa ew from the Thai place was good! Their crab puffs are stuffed full and tasty, but kind of greasy. Their Hurry My Curry sandwich is good, too. Thai cart prices are very reasonable. The grilled cheese/soup cart was good. Great sandwiches, but the soups are a tad on the bland side. A good compliment to the flavorful sandwiches though. Now onto the Italian-American spot. W...T...F? We got the antipasti for $8 and a soda for $1.50. Not an unreasonable price for this. Until we got home and opened the box. There was almost nothing in it! Freakin' $8 for like 6 pieces of meat, 1/2 pieces of cheese and a sprinkling of generic jarred pickled veggies. Oh, and I think a couple of olives. Never again. We will not be back to this cart. Overall, I'm excited for this spot. I'm sure the more I go back, the higher my ratings will go. Thanks for bringing this to my area!!! We were well overdue!

Omg food cart heaven!!! I had the street tacos from the little Mexican food cart and it was HEAVEN!!!! being from California, the search for authentic Mexican food is always on!! This is such a cute place and easy to spot with flags and a bar right when you walk in! Covered seating a much more to offer than expected!!!

I used to love coming here. The last couple of times have been pretty disappointing. Lots of turnover of the businesses, which isn't uncommon. The overall place is really dirty lately, though. The tables are all filthy, as if they don't ever get washed by anyone, ever. Ick.

I loved the fried rice with chicken In the Chinese food truck in rose city food park It was sooooo good! When I ate it it was awesome! So I wanted to go back there because the was sooooo good

2nd or 3rd Gen Food Pod, featuring ive music, booze Kart, lots of covered seating to enjoy SE and East Asian food. Burgers, Island BBQ, Gluten Free CHEF, and Chinese here, too. Most meals $8 or more. Level concrete safe for physical challenges, good Bus access. Bike Parking.

Ok so... +2.3 points for: I've only been here once but my GOD the gf foods fish and chips are mah jam so good +1 point for: Once again, gf foods. It has home motherFRICKING made tartar sauce. My dad doesn't even like tartar sauce and he agrees it's amazing +1 point for: Gf foods has homemade malt vinegar +1 point for: The people at gf foods are super nice -1.3 points for: If it's cold or hot, it's cold or hot there because it's outside Overall: gf foods is amazing. I may not have to anywhere else but still. It's. So. Good.

This place has awesome food but it does need a little attention regarding the outside eating area and more shade for the sunny days and for the rainy ones too. I also notice that the food trucks have Their own schedule, like the time and days that are open.

I love love love the food. Management needs help. I am sitting here on a Saturday night at 630. It is raining and a little cold, but otherwise fine, but the heater is off. Seriously? People wont want to come to eat if it's always freezing.

One of my favorite spots in the city to enjoy food, particularly during COVID. Chris, the manager, is super friendly and knowledgeable and will provide great beer recommendations and general conversation. The food carts have tons of delicious options. Can't recommend highly enough!

This food park has a good variety of food carts to choose from. Whether you want a taco, banh mi, or lumpia, they got you covered. They boast that they are home to 13 of the best food carts in Portland. I'm not sure that's true but I'll review carts separately. This review is for the park. This space is clean and well-cared for. I saw folks actively cleaning up during the time I was there. There are plenty of disposal stations around the park. They had plenty of picnic tables to eat at (both covered and uncovered). Bathrooms? They have real bathrooms here that are very large and moderately clean. This is a family friendly place. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and there were children all over the place, knocking things over, running around, and enjoying the food. A number of pre-teens were simply standing around blocking walkways for no apparent reason. I tripped over a few smaller children. Overall, they like kids here. You can park on the street or in a parking lot. Parking options is always nice when you are hungry and on the hunt for food. A nice perk is the produce from Kruger's Farm City Farm Market (I know, it's one too many "farms" but that's what they call it). I enjoyed grabbing a piece of fruit since I didn't find a dessert I liked at any of the carts. This is a nice food park. I'd visit again, provided the carts serve up good food.

First time visiting this food truck pod over the weekend. Dedicated parking lot, and real bathroom facilities already puts it above others. Tried two of the carts, as well as got a drink at the bar and want to return. The set up is a little funky, only in that we almost missed the Let's Roll cart we were looking for as it's behind a short little fence BUT it was found and we were happy.

Fun, beautiful evening spent here with my daughter. Delicious Vietnamese food from Vivis Yummy Rolls. Singer Gabe Hess played guitar for us. Perfect night!

I love this park with the exception of one of the mainstay carts. I wont tell you which it is but I WILL tell you some that it is not. These carts are great-- Guam PDX ViVi Thai Bangkok Ex. Bacon PDX (nice guy)

Good location, decent selection of food carts. This is a neighborhood in which you can find lots of Vietnamese restaurants and chains. This pod of food carts is a nice little oasis of variety in an area that otherwise offers little in the way of culinary options. Stopping short of reviewing each and every cart, I'll just say that there are good options here and it's worth stopping by.

We came here on Sunday at 10 AM for second breakfast:) my husband and I split a biscuit breakfast sandwich from GF chef. we should not have shared it - we both wanted our own by the end. There were only about four carts open at the time so not a lot of choice but it was slow and all seating was open.

Ok Guy Ferrrirer... I came for the Guam balls you so highly rated. Our palletes differ greatly on this one. No more Guam balls for me in my future, ever. Thai trailer crab puffs 4.50 for three. Thai Blossom blows these puffs away price, taste, quantity. Not all that thrilled with this pod but I did agree with something on the wall.... I'll swallow... if I love it.

Good variety of food carts. No one sells the same thing. Nicely managed area. Newer venders on-site as of August 1. Covered area for outdoor seating.
