The owners of a downtown Portland food truck are closing their SW 2nd Avenue location over safety concerns.

The owners of Veggie Bowl say vandalism, an upswing in Asian hate and changes to the environment have made it unsafe for them to operate downtown.

Several food cart owners on SW 2nd Avenue told KOIN 6 News they also don’t feel safe at night and are frustrated with the state of downtown Portland. Many have been the target of vandalism and break-ins on several occasions.

The Tokyo Sando food truck was broken into on Monday night. The owner, Taiki Nakajima, said his tablet used for processing credit card payments was stolen and a backpack full of tools was left behind, along with two boxes of leftover pizza. The owner spent Wednesday cleaning up and buying stronger locks.
