“Nothing but good things to say! The owners are so kind and friendly. While I waited for my food, I got a little geography and history lesson on Guyana and a sample of their dal, which was delicious. I got two bakes, one salted fish and one Chana aloo. The scrambled egg and salted cod is not a flavor combo I would normally go for but I’ve been trying to branch out and try new foods and present me is very happy that past me decided to try new things. They were VERY filling, it’ll last me at least another meal or two. Their other menu items look really good and I can’t wait to try them. I actually thought to myself at one point, “This is the place I would come if I was feeling sad because then I would have good food and also someone would be nice to me.”

This is my favorite food cart hands down. I always get both bakes - curry and egg-based. The spicy sauce is so good with it. The owner is really funny and nice. He passes out samples. I've also had the noodle dish, which is phenomenal as well. This cart has really unique flavors and it is nice in a sea of the same foods. Great job!"

“DELICIOUS!!! My daughter is a picky eater and she loved the food at Bake on the Run. The sweet lady won my heart!! She was so kind and generous, offering us samples and not just one, she gave us 3 different items to try. You just don’t come across generous people like this nowadays. I’m so glad we found this little gem. We are definitely coming back when we are in the area!! And great vegan options too.”

Ultimate fusion food! Free samples and really friendly staff. If you're into exotic cuisine but can't decide what you want just have them all, so many different influences in one menu! The Chow Mein noodles are perfect and the spices in the Dal make perfect comfort food. Even better, surrounded by so many other great food carts, want to have bubble tea and a sushi burrito with your Guyanese food? You're in Portland, you can have it all!”


“Mike is incredible. He remembered me after months and always delivers service with a genuine smile. The food will have you day-dreaming for weeks until you get that next bite of chickpea bake in your mouth!! The bake is sweet and exceptionally made with savory spices and veggies inside. I love this food. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Outstanding! I tried the 3 samples offered and ended up ordering on the spot. The dahl was the most lovely, complex mix of flavors- by far the best I’ve ever had. The combination of the bake fried bread pocket with the egg and bacalhau was mouth watering, made even more so with the spicy pepper sauce. Listen - the aloo chole was delectable too, but I’m just telling you now: give this place a try. But if you get the curry chicken wings before I do and the cart sells out as per usual, I may regret leaving this review!”

“When you're puttering around the food carts, looking for that tasty thang to jump out at you, come here! Try a sample (or three) and treat yourself. If you are a curry/vegetable fan, you're in for some gooood stuff. They have a bake that is just perfect if you want to house some delicious curry in one or two, and they offer two different optional sauces for those who LOVE the spicy feeling: a sweet and spicy habanero based sauce or a ghost pepper based sauce (use with caution!) We were sold by the exceptional service and the tasty goodness, we didn't even have to look at the rest of the options. Just eat here yo!”
