Chop Chop Food Carts Is Coming to Outer SE Portland

Two logos for Chop Chop Food Carts, a pod opening in Southeast Portland, OR.

While doing some research on international markets in the Metro area, I came across a 5-star comment on the Yelp page for Oriental Food Value: “Just a great quality no frills store with kind and happy customer service. A big store with small store appeal! … BONUS: A new food cart complex is under construction at the east side of building!” A little poking around yielded information on said food cart pod: Chop Chop Food Carts.

Sebastiano’s Opens in Sellwood

Sebastiano’s soft opening in Sellwood is today.

Sebastiano’s—that wonderful Sicilian/Italian-American shop, bakery, and deli that started out in Montavilla in 2020—has fully moved to Sellwood. Their grand opening is Thursday, March 7, but they had a soft opening today. I stopped by and was so happy to see how the business has been able to expand and flourish in this much larger space on SE 13th Avenue.
