Chochu Local

A little taste of home in Portland! This is authentic CHamoru BBQ and was so great we had lunch and bought seconds for dinner too!The truck is run by a few local boys who grew up here in Portland so the service is great and the food is the best!

There's ample excellent options for "Island" food in Portland, this is a standout. On taste and definitely service, I much more favor Chochu than Grindz on NE Cully.The pork belly is succulent with a nice degree of char, the dipping sauce (albeit a small portion) compliments it very well. The rice and kimchi noodle salad are better than average.And like with most Island food venues the service is consistently friendly and chill.

Great flavor! Love island food and Lumpia's . Need pancit added to menu. Really great place friendly and freshly cooked food will run out.

This is it baby. This is what it's all about: succulent meatsDude at the cart was super friendly and had a great energy. Wait for the order took a bit, possibly since I was there right when they opened, but was worth it.I ordered the three meat fiesta platter which came with pork belly, chicken thighs, and pork rib. The pork belly was perfectly crisp with melt-in-your-mouth fat. The chicken was soft, well seasoned, and had that charred flavor from being grilled to perfection. The rib was the weakest of the three but still strong. I appreciate that it was soft but wasn't falling off the bone (which is the correct level of cooked rib). I'll nitpick a bit and say it was a bit bland, at least relative to the other two meats, but sparks up when you add their signature finadenni (spicy garlic soy sauce - surprisingly good).All this complimented by some tasty red rice and a thoughtful salad. I think the dressing on it was a honey mustard type deal which added a bit of sweetness to a salty and savory dish.Portion sizes were definitely generous and fit the price which was $24 at time of review but they also have a chicken plate at $14This place is a proper treat and easily somewhere I'd take an out-of-towner or a local. There's more for me to explore on their menu so this is 100% worth a revisit

Last time we were here was four years ago on a work trip. Back in town for a work trip and decided we wanted food from home! That's what we got! You can taste the effort that goes into the food. It brings back memories of being back on the island. Service here is a reflection of the culture....super friendly and inviting. We WILL be back again for more. Appreciate all you do!

Freaking AMAZING!!!! Omg so while in Portland my bestie made sure I checked out this outdoor food court sitch. And I'm so glad she did! The very first truck I walked up to was serving Chamorro food! Fun fact, I lived in Guam for 2 years and absolutely lost my mind when I saw this truck! I've only found a restaurant serving this type of food once in the US when I lived in San Diego. So I was elated to say the least.The gals working the truck were so sweet! We chatted about Guam and it was so nice to just talk about a wonderful childhood memory.The lumpia I ordered was perfection!!! I lowkey should've ordered more than one order because they were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this spot!!!

Is there more stars ???? Food was fantastic it reminded me of my grandmothers food . I got there and they had closed the kitchen ( it's in a tiny food truck ) for 30 min to cool off . It's been crazy weather for the whole week . I am from TX and I am used to heat but this was insane for OR . I waited the 30 min comfortable in my rent car - After eating the food I would wait 2 hours for it ! Y'all those Chamorro ribs !!!!! I dream about them . They are 99.9 % close to my long gone gramma . I made sure o told the owner . By the way they are the nicest people !!! The wife really cares and took the time to ask about my family from Guam , My only regret is not asked them if they belong to any of the Chamorro FB groups . If you have tried food from Guam this is it ! If you have not ... go because this will be a go to ! YUM

Dangkulu na si Yu'os ma'ase, Chochu!As a homesick island girl who's been to MANY fiestas in Guahan (Guam), I can say these guys are legit! All the amazing deliciousness that I grew up with. I ordered a bunch of food and was feeling happy and homesick. Almost cried!The kelaguen is some of the best I've ever had, richness of the chicken and coconut, balanced with the tartness of the lemons. I LOVE the empanadas! Crunchy and flavorful - and nice mild afterburn from the donne'. Took me all the way back to high school morning recess, when I lined up to get my snack of crispy spicy happiness. I talked to magical Mike while he was barbecuing slabs of awesome, just stood there inhaling all that bbq smoky goodness that smelled like every weekend on Ypao Beach. Definitely coming back!

Spreading love from the islands stopped by this gem since we were around the area. And we do not regret it! Street parking / small parking lot in the back- walk in over to their stall and enjoy the company of friends with amazing tastes. We got their 3 choice fiesta plate with ribs, pork belly, and chicken. So flavorful! The chicken kilaguen is new for us. We're Filipino- and the only time we get Chamorro food is from our neighbors. But we are used to goat and shrimp kilageun. It was sooo yummy though! A must try

You need to have this food truck on your must do list, if you even kind of like BBQ..... Their Island BBQ is very different than your more typical regional American BBQ's. Truly one of the best food trucks in Portland!!!
