If you are traveling to Portland I really recommend trying foods here specifically for dinner (night vibes were great) A very good variety of good foods with great vibes and atmosphere to go with friends or family. There is also a cool bar on-site so you can both get a drink and grab a food. A couple of different seating areas including a covered heated table for colder weather.

This place is awesome! One of the best experiences of our vacation. Cocktails and food carts how awesome! Watching people mingle. So many food options. The decor is cool too. If your on vacation this place offers all the different food a family could want. Lots of tables a little wait on food. But they have an amazing system. You order then get a pager and when it goes off you go pick up your food where you ordered it at. Also they separate the trash for recycling.

This food court in Portland was fantastic! There are at least a dozen foodcarts with all sorts of offerings. I tried a burrito from a Korean fusion place and it was delicious . Other offerings on hand were a good looking Philly cheese steak cart with a lot of different sandwiches, there was a falafel cart, burgers, bubble tea, a bar and plenty of seating. During the cooler months there is a large outdoor fireplace to keep warm by and in the summer months, there is plenty of covered seating. There is also some interesting artwork and murals. I would definitely recommend stopping by and getting food here.
