I ordered the crispy chicken bento. At $10, I found the rice portion to be lacking but there was adequate amount of chicken. The meal was tasty but greasy. Instead of the grilled zucchini side, maybe some pickled vegetable would better serve to cut the fatty meal. Service was weird, I’m not local, the cashier just didn’t bother to notify me that my order was ready. A fellow customer informed me lol. Just very aloof…dunno if it’s a pacific nw thing, deducted one star for service.
I had one of their specials Tantanmen soup which is so good. It's broth is perfectly seasoned, comes with lots of noodles, 2 egg halves, and leeks. I asked for some extra greens which was only a dollar extra.Highly recommended if you have not already!!
Larb tuna poke is to die for, korean beef bento is also very good but less protein volume because of the bones. Great little spot with cozy atmosphere and nice outdoor eating space upstairs! Nothing on this menu disappoints - always great food.
This is place a hidden gem in Portland and the BEST place to eat in SW PDX near PSU. I wouldn't waste your time with any of the food carts along SW 4th ave, save yourself some time, and grief, get the good stuff and go to Phat Cart (not actually a cart).Such a cute little storefront, with very limited indoor seating, and 1 table outside for nicer days.The staff is always a joy and very friendly. It helps to order ahead by phone.I would recommend getting any of the seasonal specials before anything else, but there is not one subpar thing on the menu. It's all delicious and fairly unique.Better than Duck House, IMO but not really comparable since the menus are so different.If you're in a rush and need your food ASAP, plan ahead, it can sometimes get busy so food-to-counter time can be 15-45 minutes.
This place is nice and cute with good service. The Ramen was delicious and spicy. Their Karage poppers and teriyaki dumplings are also very good. I had their lychee cocktail which was pretty good as well. However, their Gyudon was underwhelming; it was just some beef on top of a lot of rice, I didn't think it was worth it.

Phat Cart has consistently great food and a wonderful atmosphere. One of my faves near PSU.
The kimchi was 10/10, the inside is really cute and they support local artists which was a fun discovery, and they even sell fresh veggies! I got a Korean beef box and it was great, will definitely be coming back.
The crispy chicken bento was good as hell, the employee with the cross earring was fine too
I've had the pleasure of three meals here and each one was absolutely delicious. The happy hour options are great (I'm especially fond of the bento), cocktails are balanced and I've heard others rave over the dessert offering of the day. Prices are more than fair for the quality and they have outdoor seating, covered upstairs and the patio for when weather is nice.
