👍👍 My partner and I have been going to this place on almost a weekly basis since it opened- we just can't get enough. Everything on the menu is incredible. The quality can't be beaten- they even make their own bread! The owners are really good people and their love of sharing good food with their commu... People often mention sandwich,

    What a lovely spot with a covered outdoor seating area. We got porchetta sandwich, an eggplant sandwich, and the flank steak special. All were fresh, generously sized, and beautifully seasoned. Loved the fennel pollen touch on the flank steak. Also got a glass of yummy berry kombucha. Menu changes every two weeks, so you can always try something new. Options for GF, vegetarians, and vegans as well. See menu in picture.

    Perfectly toasted bread gives a crispy crunch to this yummy porchetta sandwich balanced with a whole rainbow of expertly pickled vegetables. Yummm I will be craving this again! + polenta is the ultimate comfort food #sorbu.pdx 😋😋😋😋😋😋

The quality can't be beaten- they even make their own bread! The owners are really good people and their love of sharing good food with their community comes through. If you are looking for high-end food in an intimate and casual setting, this is your place. Don't miss out on the salad, they are insane.

    I’m pretty sure this is the best food cart in Portland. It might be the best restaurant in Portland? So much care and skill goes into every element of every dish it’s mind boggling. How do they do it? Every single thing I’ve ordered is comforting and delicious, and we’ve been getting dinner here almost every week so I’ve tried a lot. Don’t skip dessert. Sorbu, please never leave this neighborhood!

    BY FAR the best sandwiches my wife and I have enjoyed in a very long time! Absolutely delicious, fresh ingredients, and an original take on the panini. Don't leave there without trying the date cake!

    This place is great, really unique and everything we had had tons of flavor. Very quick service, on site parking, reasonable prices. Really felt like something we could've had in Italy, real street food feeling place

    Lovely little spot serving upscale Tuscan cuisine. We had a panino, the salad, and the braised beef and polenta. Only 4/5 because there was a bit too much fat in the food for my taste. Would recommend dining in to keep your panino from getting soggy.

    Best one in town so far and patio area is very cute.

    I’m ashamed of myself that it took me so long to visit here. Freakishly good sandwiches from an unassuming truck. It’s places like this that give Portland its reputation for amazing food. Incredible flavor combinations, perfectly proportioned. Literally would be a destination in any other city. One of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a very, very, long time.

    I’m not normally a sandwich person but I would come back in a heartbeat!! I got the 5x5 which came with some pickled veggies. The bread had a great texture and the flavors were savory and balanced :) plus the staff very helpful and nice!

    This place is truly the best! The food is gourmet and made with so much love. Best sandwiches ever, the bread is made fresh daily. Don't sleep on their specials! They use fresh ingredients so they have a rotating menu but also have some staple items that are always on the menu (Porchetta and 5&5 sandwich for example- both amazing). Family run business with a lot of heart. Highly recommended! They also have some very tasty drinks.

    These are the best sandwiches I have ever eaten in my life. Mind blowing. I hate cole slaw, but this place put it on a sandwich and it was incredible. I'd drive across town through rush hour traffic for this food.
