Baon Kainan

Great food cart and loved all the options. Tried two different dishes, and they were both amazing. Fun little location that was next to a bar that you could get drinks to go. The service was fantastic. Can't wait to come back and try the lumpia... unfortunately , they ran out but next time.

It was pretty decent but nothing crazy. I felt it was a tad pricey for what you get. I tried a couple noodle dishes which were tasty but pretty simple flavor wise. The palabok was a bit different - vermicelli w/ a seafood gravy, ground pork and shrimp. Almost tasted a bit like carbonara.

Cool courtyard in the Alberta District. Good food - a bit pricey for the portions. Worth a visit.

One of the best Filipino food I've had. We bought the pork sisig, chicken adobo, pancit palabok, and ube bibinka. Everything was excellent.

*Disclaimer this review is for their brunch spot only open mondays and Tuesday called Balong*Amazing food! Filling breakfast sandwiches that come with a runny yolk that bursts when you bite into it. I also got the potato pave. It was good but nothing I would get again. I recommend the sausage breakfast sandwich. They also have a vegan option as well.

Filipino food used to be scarce in this area south of Seattle. Now there seems to be a growing scene. This little truck had food packed with flavor. We ordered the lumpia which had a unique take on it. I've not tasted these flavors before. The palabook also had a flavorful savory sauce with a generous amount of shrimp and pork. Calamansi cream puffs for a Filipino twist on a classic. Great place!

For some reason, just for fun, I was searching for JOLLIBEE, because of their Fried Chicken (on which I've not tasted), but Filipinos raved about it. On my search, it showed up Baon Kainan, and we're just 9 mins. from there, so we turned around and was able to park out front.Our order was taken right away. We were also able to find a large table for hubby and I. The food was served in a unique way. They had the Adobo Chicken and sauce, in a separate container to which rice could be added as you wish. The Adobo was very tender and delicious! (I add his Bok Choy with my leftover, but he tasted it. No worries, he's a picky eater, he won't eat them at home, either!) For the first time, I had the Kare Kare with Rice. (No way will I try Filipino food with fries!) Kare Kare had that peanut sauce, which was good, but it was something I've had to dip Egg Roll Salad. Like I said, my first time to order this, from any Filipino restaurant. It was more on my plate than I can chew, so I'm saving the rest of another meal. It also came with Bok Choy, which I ate.I didn't see the Ube Bibingka! I'd like to stop here, Saturday, after my 3pm event, but if we stop there and they're gone, oh well. . . next time. I want to try these.The server educated us about the menu items, and thank you for having patience with us!

I visited with my girlfriend for a Sunday brunch after a bunch of friends recommended this cart, and I'm glad we came! It's pretty clear to see why this cart was awarded one of the top food carts in PDX.We ordered the Tosilog, but with eggplant instead of the pork belly. I've never had Tosilog before, and I would've gotten the pork belly version if I were alone, but after I tried the eggplant, I would dare say that it'd be almost impossible for the pork belly version to have been better. The eggplant is lighted coated and then deep fried to perfection, resulting in a crunchy exterior and a very light and fluffy interior. I'm not even an eggplant person, but I loved it here!The garlic rice was also cooked perfectly, and I found that there was just the right amount of garlic in it. The two sunny-side up eggs added creaminess once the yolks were broken, as they slowly oozed over the rice sitting below. The onions and cherry tomatoes gave a slight smokiness from hitting the flattop, as well as some needed acidity to cut through the other savory flavors. The way the dish was executed, I can't help but think that it was the perfect representation of Filipino cuisine - an exciting combination of salty, savory, and acidic.We also ordered the Ube Bibingka for dessert, and it was amazing! The cake is extremely light, with the ube flavor coming through for a perfect amount of sweetness. And the coconut crumble topping gave some crunch and textural contrast. Would absolutely order this again.There wasn't a line to order when we came, but we did have to wait about 15 minutes to get our food. The cart is a 2-person operation, so be patient. They're super nice too, and I loved that we were able to chat it up with them a bit while we were waiting.There's only outdoor dining here, as there's 2 long wooden tables that serve the patrons for all of the food carts in this pod. There are some parts of the tables that're covered by umbrellas to shield you from the heat, but I didn't mind getting some sun while eating.Pricing is reasonable given the amount and quality of food that you get. It'd be tough to find anything cheaper, and I know that it's already tough to find good Filipino food to begin with.There's tons of street parking around that's free - we didn't have any trouble when we came. If I remember correctly, there's a 2-hour parking time limit, but not sure how enforced that is.Absolutely love this cart! Show them as much love and support as possible, because they deserve it! Whenever we visit PDX again, we'll definitely come back.

Came here on a family dinner. Easy to order, very clean location.Customer service was friendly and chill.I ordered the signature Chicken Adobo over rice. The chicken was grilled and braised in a soy-vinegar broth. The meat was tender and fell off the bone. The chef is obviously very well trained and takes his craft seriously.My wife ordered the Vegan sisig. It was the first time she tried calamansi, and she loved her dish. Very flavorful and very beautifully presented.My two year old daughter loved their garlic rice (with the adobo sauce). We got to also sample their rice cake/ube dessert. It was very nice way to end the meal. Not many food carts can do both entree and dessert; very impressive.Overall, it was a great experience. Filipino comfort food done at a high level. Look forward to coming back again, next time probably for their brunch. Dying to try the pork belly with fried egg combo.

Tosilog $13.00"Roasted pork shoulder & belly in a sweet, garlicky glaze with garlic rice, two eggs fried in butter, and kamatis (tomato and onions with fish sauce). Contains soy and dairy." I liked it! Calamansi Soda - really refreshing and tasty on a hot day. It tastes similar to orangina, but better$3.00 Calamansi is a Filipino citrus.Service - quick, great!Ambiance - went on mother's day. There are picnic tables with some areas for shade. Next door is a taco cart and Matta Vietnamese fusion food cart. Walking distance from convention center
