  This is denitrify one of my favorite food trucks in Portland. Every time I come here the sweet lady guides me through all of the ingredients and what I will like best. Everything is very flavorful and filling. Never had a bad experience ever since I've been coming here. 10/10 customer service. Thank you!

  As a Japanese-Filipino gal myself, I really appreciate Lu's Teriyaki for serving solid, straight-forward Japanese and Filipino food. I normally order Lu's combination plate with teriyaki chicken and beef (comes with rice, yakisoba noodles, and salad), and recently tried their banana lumpia as well.
  
  Let me start with the combo plate: While I wouldn't necessarily say this is a life-changing teriyaki plate, Lu's Teriyaki still satisfies my teriyaki craving and leaves me happy, full, and with leftover too, for a relatively affordable price of $12. For these reasons, I'm definitely a fan. The chicken is always cooked properly and I like that the beef is sliced thin and is generally pretty tender. I also like that the yakisoba noodles have a nice chew to them and are generously coated with teriyaki sauce. I like that the teriyaki sauce here leans more on the salty side rather than the sweet side. The only downside of the plate is that the salad portion is a bit small for my liking and that the lettuce can be a tad lukewarm since it's by the rest of the warm food.
  
  About the banana lumpia: I wish I tried these sooner...these are absolutely fantastic. Try it! I recently shared an order (2 pieces for $4) with my boyfriend, and I wish I got two orders just for me! I haven't had banana lumpia in years, and Lu's banana lumpia reminded me of the banana lumpia I'd eat as a kid in Hawaii at my Filipino family gatherings. The wrapping was perfectly fried and the banana filling tasted so good. I loved how ripe and sweet the bananas were, making the taste and texture of the filling absolutely perfect. When you're at the Piedmont Food Carts, this is a must get!
  
  One last thing to note - Lu's Teriyaki is right next to Spaghettaboutit. I noticed that Lu's had a sign posted that said something to the effect of: "If I'm not here, you can find me at Spaghettaboutit." Long story short, it turns out that the lady at Lu's (presumably Lu?) and the guy at Spaghettaboutit are husband and wife! How adorable is that? They both own food carts and have them located right next to each other. They are absolutely #relationshipgoals.

  *I've only ordered through Postmates, so eating at the cart itself might be different.
  
  I've eaten the food 4 or 5 times, and this is how I would rank the dishes.
  
  Lechon - delicious, best dish that the cart makes. The skin is nice and crispy and he just right amount of fat. Also the portion size is quite substantial.
  
  Teriyaki chicken - a little bit better than average, it's not the best, but it's definitely not the worst.
  
  Tempura - I usually order the bento and the tempura comes with it, and it's nothing special, but you do get a lot with the order and I love tempura.
  
  Kalua pork - had some good flavor and was very tender.
  
  Chicken adobo - eh. It was pretty bland and nothing about it was impressive. I would not order again.
  
  Overall I'm giving it 4 stars because the lechon is really good and the food is priced very reasonable.

  I ordered this for lunch on Amazon prime. The good, the yakisoba noodles were perfect. My biggest problems was with the rice. It was one cement rice block (to much starch) and it was non-edible. I asked for extra teriyaki and they did not put any on the side rather on top (I should have specified on the side?). There was a pink sauce that I figured went with my Gyoza, but maybe was for the salad, but didn't really go with ether, thus making the potstickers dry.  This meant that there was no gyoza (or soy or teriyaki sauce) and the salad was dry.

  Came across this cart on accident. It didn't have any reviews yet and I usually Yelp check... But their Filipino food got me curious enoygh. I ordered Lumpia, pancit and the lechon. Everything was surprisingly good!!! The Lumpia was paired with a vinger hot sour sauce... Pretty sure they made it themselves, its hot sour sauce I've never had before. I thought the noodles in the pancit looked a bit dry but nope, it was perfect. Lechon kawali was so good too, the sauces to were so right. Authentic Filipino food. Also, fast and friendly service. I'll be coming back.
