Heard about this POD and paid a visit for afternoon lunch. There is parking available on the premises. There are roughly 8-10 food carts with a lot of variety. These are the cuisines here: Mediterranean, Thai, Russian, Hawaian, Singapore, a Sandwich shop and beer on tap. If I have to get one dish that would be Falafel (5/5) super crunchy and had ton of flavor. Its a must try. The Hond Kong Style Noodles (5/5) was also great. Ton of flavor and good portion. The Hainan chicken was good but it need the additional sauces to get a flavor (4/5). The Kai Platter is ok, but the spring rolls are amazing (5/5). There were tables inside and the place is kept very clean. Overall an amazing place with lot of food options.

Today is the 4th time I have been to CORE. Lucky for me, I ate at Sandy's Myanmar Cuisine today. It was SOOOO good! I tried the national dish, catfish soup with guava drink. Definitely stop by. Henry & the management team at CORE definitely have a great venue - and a great atmosphere! I will definitely be back!

Food is great. My favorite is the Broken Rice Com Tam food truck. Their grill pork chops over broken is the best for 15

Chris is the bomb at the Publican beer room bar! It's awesome to have someone always so welcoming. He has a great mixed drinks and tap list there is always something new. The food and ambiance is a plus and it's really convenient on the Eastside.

Food was good and service was amazing. Had a small party here recently and everything went smoothly. Outstanding service from the drinks location inside the building. They were very friendly.

The Drip'N Crab was so amazing and family owned! Affordable food with great customer service and lots of options! Clean tables with a lot of sitting options. Large very clean bathrooms with changing tables and a separate family bathroom. Must try!!

If I could eat at all the carts I would. Sadly I am but a mere mortal and I’d probably throw up and nobody wants to see that. Delicious food(s), wonderful options and great to have them in this location! Bring the family, bring your grandma, call your ex find any reason, really and just come hungry, baby!
