At Village Kitchen in Sellwood, you’ll discover authentic Kachin cuisine from Myanmar, offering vibrant flavors and hearty vegan options, all served up with a side of friendly service.
"Portland has several Burmese restaurants and food carts, but Village Kitchen is the only one representing the Kachin cuisine of Myanmar. This green cart at Piknik Park in Sellwood has several vegan dishes: the iconic Burmese fermented green tea leaf salad, silky eggplant in a tangy tamarind-tomato based curry with fluffy coconut rice, and Shan style rice noodles with tofu puffs that soak up the five spice sauce. Well-sized portions arrive on a banana leaf with cucumber slices and a lime wedge." - Waz Wu
"Even those familiar with Burmese cuisine will find dishes unique to this Piknik Park food cart, which specializes in the cuisine of the Kachin tribal communities of Northern Myanmar. Newbies should start with the Village Cooking, pieces of pork or chicken with culantro, Sichuan peppercorn, and chaplu leaf giving it an herbaceous, hard-to-pin-down flavor profile. The chicken arrives alongside a mound of coconut rice, adding a nice sweet contrast to the dish." - Alex Frane, Janey Wong
