Mama Chow's Kitchen

Mama Chow’s is an exemplar of what makes the Portland food scene so great. We went with the classics — lollipop chicken and garlic noodles (10/10). Also got a side of BBQ pork (7/10). Will be back to try the other items on the menu. Kinda sad that Rev Nat’s, but hopefully a brewery moves into the space and makes a nice rice lager to go with Mama Chow’s dishes?

I’ve had dreams (yes plural) about the garlic noodles and chicken lollipops. I truly cannot understand how everything from this spot tastes so insanely good and flavorful! The service is also incredible – just ask for a recommendation and you’ll see how they clearly love food and want you to love what you eat too. I regularly pick something up from here and take it home only to stand in my kitchen eating it at the counter because the smell drove me so crazy on my way back home that I can’t bare to wait another second to sit down at the table like a normal human. Try this place.

Tender juicy chicken (lollipop chicken) and perfectly seasoned garlic noodles! Excellent food - we will be back often!! The owner Jeff and business partner Margret are the kindest people you'll meet too. So happy to welcome them to the neighborhood and loved how sweet they were to us and everyone during the heat wave!

Woah. The food is soo good. We got garlic noodles with BBQ Pork and with Lollipop Wings. The wings were super tender and the skin was crazy crispy. The pork was so succulent. And when they say garlic noodles they mean GARLIC noodles. Nom nom nom 🤤🤤🤤. Super duper friendly customer service. We will be coming back all the time!

Authentic Chinese from a food cart. In other places, noodles are just a vehicle to transport sauce to your mouth - not so here. The noodles are the main feature, chewy and flavorful, not over cooked. That said, the vegetables were delightful too. The tofu was superior: fried wrong, tofu can be leathery on the outside but this was tender and flavorful without being soggy.

Recently moved to the Farmhouse Food Cart Pod, behind/next to Rev Nat's, they haven't missed a beat!! Garlic Noodles with BBQ pork was amazing. The fried tofu was great, and if anyone tells you they hate tofu, they should try MamaChow's, it's a game changer. We also had wings and the pork and shrimp dumplings. You cannot go wrong with any of it!!
