I admire a food cart that knows it has such a spectacular single dish that they are going to devote themselves to that one dish. That’s what the Dosirak Food Cart does with its Teriyaki Chicken. They’ve had their loyal fans since 2009, which is a testament of what a simple but great offering they provide.

Located at  SW 4th and College and open 10:30 AM – 6 PM on weekdays only, this lunchbox cart (Dosirak means lunchbox) makes ordering simple as you just have to decide whether you want the mandoo (dumplings) or not and whether you want your rice to be white rice or brown rice.  Or you could just order a bunch of mandoo, but why would you turn down this chicken?

The red chili sauce you see in my photos I added, but the rest of the sauce is the marinade of that teriyaki chicken.

The food is hearty, filling, but an excellent value (that whole thing is $7 and includes salad, rice, 2 mandoo and all that chicken you see, plus your choice of various hot sauces if you’d like). You can’t help but feel good supporting this small little business with its super nice owners when the weather is cold and they are in their cart, braving the dark gloomy day with their cheerful bright cart and their bright smiles as they make your lunchbox.

The wait usually isn’t long as they assemble your lunchbox, but in case you didn’t bring your umbrella that day and only have your rain jacket, you can call ahead and order so that it’ll be ready as soon as you get there using their number (503) 896-3493.
