Description

Purple Dragon, a mobile food truck in Methven, serves comforting Japanese street food with standout dumplings—juicy, flavorful fillings and nicely crisped edges—ideal on chilly days. Ramen and noodle soups are warming but lean toward instant noodles and could use more meat and vegetables. Portions and pricing feel modest for the cost, and some dumplings arrive only toasted on one side. Despite that, the flavorful dumplings and friendly food-truck vibe make it a must-visit for dumpling lovers.

The meal included four pieces of meat and instant noodles for $14, but the broth was quite nice. The dumplings were juicy, but they needed to be fried on all sides. Overall, we found the prices a bit steep for what we received—five dumplings for $8 felt insufficient for us.

The dumplings were fantastic, with delicious fillings and a perfectly crispy side. I would have gladly paid more if they had been toasted on all sides. The ramen was decent, but it could use some improvement. It was a bit lacking in meat and vegetables, with around 99 percent of it being instant noodles.

This fantastic food truck offers delicious Japanese cuisine. The dumplings were incredibly flavorful! I can't wait to return and try the rest of their menu, especially on a chilly day when I'm looking for some comforting food.
