History and locations

There was a stationary food car in Vancouver, Washington, as of 2015.[1] The Vancouver had 36 food options with beef, chicken, pork, or tofu. The menu included Pad See Ew , Gang Garee, and Pad Kee Mao.[2] The food pod in Happy Valley, Oregon was slated to have an E-san cart, as of 2015.[3]

There was also a food cart at the Tidbit Food Farm and Garden food pod at the intersection of Southeast 28th Avenue and Divsion Street. The pod opened in 2014 closed in 2017.[4][5] BG's Food Cartel at The Round, a food pod in Beaverton, Oregon, had two E-San carts, as of 2018.[6]

The restaurant in downtown Portland's Haseltine Building closed on January 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The restaurant's January 9 announcement read, "We want to thank our past crew members and especially our loyal customers for supporting E-San in our 22 years of being open. We are devastated to see it go, but also extremely grateful for the connections and experiences it has brought us as a family business."[7]
