Mama Chow's Kitchen

12/10!!! What can I say?? The famous mama chow food truck. Delicious and amazing!! The tofu was nice and fluffy like me. The lollipop wings were definitely fried perfectly where it was all white meat inside when you open it. Lots of flavor once you bite into it just like the garlic noodles. You will have garlic breath for like 2 days if you don't brush correctly but it's definitely worth it. I didn't really use the sauce that they provided because it already had a lot of flavors. Yum!! The service was great! The lady and the man in the back are super friendly and helpful if it's your first time there. There's a lot of seats to sit at. There's also a bar right next door in case you want to get a drink or something. Nice little area with a couple more food trucks to chill and vibe. Will definitely return here again when I go back! Thank you! Keep up with the great food!

Whenever they have a collaboration with Lawless BBQ and serve brisket with garlic noodles, I'm there! It is sooo good! I have yet to try their garlic shrimp with noodles but have a good feeling that it will be quite good as well.

Fire!! The garlic noodles with chicken wings were off the chain, the noodles were a little dry but I liked that they weren't greasy and they had incredible flavor. But the wings knocked my socks off, I was not expecting them to be anywhere near that. Good. They were crispy and chewy and full of flavor and just beautiful to look at as well! I loved the employees as well. They are so friendly and fun to chat with!

I've been wanting to go here for so long and was not disappointed at all when I finally did! Located in a food truck hall, the area is quite nice and has seating to dine after you've ordered your food. The owners of the truck were so kind and nice to talk to, and the service was overall pretty fast considering how busy they were (they cook the wings as you order them!).We ordered the wonton soup, garlic noodles with wings (iconic), and BBQ pork garlic noodles (which I didn't get a picture of). Everything was delicious. The wonton soup was so flavorful and plentiful of wontons that had delicious filling. The garlic noodles on both of the other entrees were so garlic-y, well-seasoned, and had you wanting more. Although the BBQ pork was delicious, it didn't stand out in any particular way. But!! The wings were definitely a must-try. They were crispy and saucy on the outside but also so soft and juicy on the inside. Highly recommend coming here and trying their garlic noodles & wings as well as their wonton soup!

I have been eating here on and off for the last 10 years. What stopped me from coming here as often when downtown was the line for lunch, the secret got out very quickly and it got very crowded during peak hours. The menu has not changed very much in the last decade and neither has the quality. Everything is still freshly made and you can taste that, my last visit on dumpling week did not disappoint. Lastly the owner and other lady (I have never asked if they were personal and professional partners) are always so nice and efficient. Love seeing them as much as I love eating here.

I love mama chows and since earlier this year I have become a regular! The two chefs are always so helpful and check in on you after you eat even though it's a food cart! The garlic noodles are incredible and have the perfect chew! Plus you have a variety of toppings for whatever mood you are in! I recently had the garlic shrimp garlic noodles and I wish that they would add it to the menu full time! A must try in Portland!

The food here is way better than a lot Chinese restaurants in Portland. They have a new location at a food cart pod near Division and 35th. It's great!We ordered the garlic noodles with lollipop wings. The wings were nice and crispy and had a tasty sauce. The garlic noodles were cooked just right and had a garlic chili oil sauce.They did a really good job on all of the noodles we ordered. We also had the wonton noodle soup, which came with noodles. The noodles were nice and firm, not squishy or overcooked. The wontons had a pork and shrimp filling, which was quite good.We also ordered the eggs with barbeque pork. They did a great job on that one, too. The eggs were fluffy, soft and moist.The owner, Jeff, named the cart after his mom, who owned a restaurant in Oakland Chinatown for 17 years. Many of the recipes are family recipes. Both he and Margaret were super friendly. They talked to us for awhile, and treated my mom with a mooncake in celebration of mid-Autumn festival.We look forward to going back to Mama Chow's. Next time, we want to order their barbecue pork again, which is marinated using their own special recipe.

I think the food is just OK. I got there at opening this time on a Thursday. They are pretty consistently sold out of dumplings even early in the day. I was disappointed not to be able to try. I did get the noodles and added protein. Good. The owner is super sweet and accommodating. But I showed up for dumplings.

Really great garlic noodles and friendly people - flavor is sooo delicious without being too rich. That little ramekin of sauce they put on the side is red gold. Tofu was fluffy and crispy like they air-fried it. I cleaned the whole plate.Overall, the Farmhouse cart pod has a great atmosphere - beautiful wood tables and structure, provides good shelter from the weather, and clean bathroom facilities.
