    Had the Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken over rice. Very well marinated grilled chicken. Most of the flavor is sweet with a slight hint of lemongrass. Rice has a lot of sauce from the meat. Also had a small side of salad with delish dressing.

    Looks decent, but is actually terrible.  Chicken is so crazy dry, sauce was so salty.

    Rare that I give 1 star to a place, but this was truly awful. If this was at a restaurant, I would have sent it back. I had the Korean bbq chicken, which came out to $23. Its noted as "Most Popular"...but it was probably the most overcooked chicken I have ever eaten. No joke, the chicken was so dry and chewy. Usually when people say "it was like jerky!" there is some hyperbole to it, but this literally resembled jerky. Several pieces I just could not chew. The grill marks tasted like burnt rubber. The sauce was awful too. It was sooo salty and overpowering, and it was drenched in it. The garlic noodles might have been decent, I don't know. All I could taste was the incredibly salty sauce on it. The best thing on the plate was the salad. The only positive was that it was quick, as there was zero line. Other trucks had lines of 5-20 people, this one had zero line (which is a reason I picked it). By the time I finished giving my money, my food was ready to go. Honestly, most food trucks are so overrated and overpriced. Years ago they may have been a convenient meal on the go, but now its become a trendy foodie thing. But $23 for salty rubber chicken...I think I might be done with food trucks (besides Golden Gate Gyro, their food is great).

    Teriyaki Chicken with Rice and Noodles

    I first discovered Bombzies BBQ at an Off The Grid market a few years ago before COVID-19 hit. Their food is amazing. A big proportion with rice and noodles. The service at Bombzies is amazing! They help you decide what to order. They'll help you decide which food is their best selling. Their truck is presentable. The menu is detail on what is in the food. Recently when I had Bombzies at a Taste of the World market I had the Teriyaki Chicken with half rice and half noodles. It was a good proportion of chicken with half rice and half noodles. I was able to share my food with my mom. She loved the taste of the chicken. If you see Bombzies in the Bay Area I suggest having them for lunch and dinner.

    Tried the BBQ rice bowl with garlic noodles and chicken -- super fresh and full of flavor. Highly recommend!

    I had the BBQ rice bowl with garlic noodles and grilled chicken. Super tasty, fresh, and filling! Great service and awesome flavors. Definitely recommend trying it!

    Food truck came to our work for an event last week. We each got to pick one entree. I chose the lemongrass chicken. Food came out really fast. Food was decent but not somewhere I'd crave. I hardly tasted lemongrass. It was either very light or maybe they gave me the wrong entree. It's a well balanced meal for on the go. The curry option looked more promising.

    Coconut curry chicken with noodles

    Showed up to off the grid and this place happed to be around. I got in line, ordered the coconut curry chicken, you have the option to order it with rice or with noodles. Staff is cool and efficient, most of the food is pre cooked in a warming chamber, so the dish was given almost immediately. They also offer rangoons and wings as sides. I would recommend yes or yes.

    Had this food for the 1st time today, they came by my work (Sutter Health). The food is AMAZING! My picky 9 year old son who doesn't like to try anything new tried the bbq chicken & garlic noodles & enjoyed it so much he was angry I don't bring more hm!!!

    Seriously delicious. We had Bombzies at our outdoor concert and the food was super fresh, fast and such kind service. I got the teriyaki chicken & garlic noodles with kimchi - so good!

    I've been a Bombzies patron for a few years now and I am generally delighted to see their truck arrive in our business park. I typically go for the Korean BBQ Rice Bowl but the real money-maker is the potsticker side plate. These are some of my FAVORITE potstickers anywhere (the secret is in their crunch). The service here is great; they'll have your food out to you before you're done paying (with the exception of my beloved potstickers because those bad boys have to fry). Give them a try!

    Korean bbq bowl is a must. The chicken is so tender and flavorful, the kimchi gives the bowl an amazing touch.

    I normally go to the picnic at the presidio on Sundays to get my Bombzies fix I love the Korean chicken bowl with extra kimchi The chicken is delicious, cooked just right. I wish they had a restaurant, I know I would be there all the time

    Went in with zero expectations and left planning my next visit…read more Stopped by Tacos Mi Rancho near Lake Merritt and honestly didn't know what to expect. From the outside, it looks like a straightforward taco truck, but wow was I surprised. I ordered the Carnitas Super Taco, which came loaded with lettuce, cheese, cilantro, onions, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. My only complaint? You only get one taco per order because I definitely could've eaten another. The Kid ordered the Carne Asada Super Taco and before we even pulled away, she was asking for a second one. That's usually a pretty good sign. We also tried the horchata and jamaica, and both were delicious. The horchata was creamy and flavorful, while the jamaica was refreshing and not overly sweet. What surprised me most was how quickly they got the food out, especially considering how popular this spot seems to be. A few things to know: * Cash or Venmo only * Parking can be a challenge, but it's worth it * Keep an eye out for the new speed cameras in the area Their hours are another plus: Open daily, 9:30am- midnight Overall, this was one of those pleasant surprises that reminds you not to judge a place by appearances. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

Reason why I'd give 3 stars instead of 5 is because 1) almost $5 for one tiny taco is already absurd, and 2) half of the time they charge me for super taco prices just so i can go home and find out they gave me regular tacos - NO cheese, NO guac, NO sour cream. I even asked the dude on the phone how many bags of chips they give for my order so i know if I need to order more, he literally said two bags of chips, and end up giving me just one bag for a total of 4 "super" tacos and one "super" burrito. Check your order every time before you leave.

The old space is still under the same owners, almost the same food but maybe more concentrated on the Mexican fare. I'd call this a hipster pub. No table service, gotta order up front and food brought out. Can't start a tab so if you want multiple drinks or food items better order it all at once, or keep getting up to order and re-pay (which I dislike). If you sit at the bar top, they can run you a tab there. But it's usually pretty packed there. Beer n a Shot ($11/4*) the beer is a domestic lager (Miller Hi Life) and you can choose between 3 shots. I chose Fernet as I can use it post meal, while I have the beer with the meal. Don't love the beer but for the price ya just can't beat it. 6 Wings ($13/3.5*) Wings are a big focus on their menu. You can pick from lots of sauces/rubs; different quantities to fit your group/appetite; ranch or blue cheese; you can customize flats, drummies or mixed. They even asked how crisp we wanted the fry, which rarely is ever asked. I dug their thoroughness in the wing game. We chose basic buffalo sauce and I found it to be just average. Quite salty meaning it is mostly Franks Hot Sauce, I like ones that are more balanced with other ingredients. I did like their blue cheese dressing as they add a scoop of blue crumbles to the ramekin itself so it is very chunky which I like. Fish Taco ($5/4.5*) I chose a fried version but you can also get grilled fish. Perfectly fried strips of battered fish. Appropriate accouterments of shredded cabbage, cilantro and sour cream. 2 delicious pureed salsas come with as well that are requisite to use. Cobb Salad ($19/4.5*) Solid entree sized salad. Love how you pick between shrimp or chicken then grilled or fried. You will literally change the dynamics with each choice. The lettuce was fresh spring mix. Topped with crisp bacon bits, grape tomatoes, blue crumbles, avo slices, which is why I am fond of Cobb Salads. So many varying textures and flavors keeping things interesting. They use smaller shrimps but at least they have a nice meaty texture. They season it pretty aggressively and sear it on a hot flat top. Not sure if they cooked it next to some carne asada or if they use beef tallow to cook with, but my shrimp bites totally tasted like steak. I love surf n turf so this totally worked for me. Just don't know if it was deliberate or not. Nice add to the neighborhood and I'm sure I'll be back. Still want to try their nachos and possibly chicken n waffles. Good chance I could do both at the same time as not too often you can. Swoop in when ya can amirite!

I got over my fear when Shakeel, the Market Ambassador at that time convince me to come. Even the other Market Ambassador Elon kept me company making sure I was OK at the market. I will admit every Friday Night I am at Off the Grid outside the Oakland Museum of California. I will admit I overdid it by checking out the exhibits at the museum weekly where I made a friend Preston, the Emcee at the Oakland Museum of California. Over 10 different food trucks to chose from. The highest food trucks they had at the market was up to 20 during the summer time. It is worth coming down to Oakland Museum to see all the different food trucks they have. I will admit I miss the past Market supervisor that ran the market (Adam, Alex, Paul, Henley, whomever ran the market that I can not remember their names). Ben, the current supervisor got this market running smoothly. I been enjoying the market. What makes this market to go to on Friday Night compared to going to Fort Mason is discount on museum tickets. You have a museum to go to while getting food from the food trucks. They also have a garden where children can run around in. The live music at the Oakland Museum of California is amazing. It is worth checking it out. This is the market to check out Friday Night.

I was about seventh in line right when they opened and was told the wait would be about 25-30 minutes, which I was totally fine with. Unfortunately, I ended up waiting almost two hours for my food, which was pretty disappointing. I ordered the garlic noodles with shrimp and pork, two papaya salads, beef skewers, and Lao sausages. The garlic noodles were flavorful but a little too oily for my taste, pork was dry. The beef skewers were good, but the Lao sausages were definitely my favorite part of the meal. They were delicious, especially with the crack sauce that came with them! The biggest disappointment for me was the papaya salad. I absolutely love papaya salad and will travel pretty far to find a good one, so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, the flavor just wasn't for me. I noticed they use lime juice rather than fresh limes, and I personally really don't enjoy the taste of bottled lime juice in papaya salad. The location also made the experience a little difficult. There isn't a parking lot, and street parking is very limited on a busy street/intersection. I ended up having to wait in my car because finding parking nearby was so difficult. The surrounding area also had an unpleasant smell, which didn't make the wait any more enjoyable. Overall, I really wanted to love this place, especially after making the drive. The Lao sausages and crack sauce were definitely the highlights, but between the nearly two-hour wait, difficult parking, and the papaya salad not being what I hoped for, I'm not sure I'd make the drive again.

Don't come here if you can't do the long wait for amazing food. The people running this are nice but there are only 3 of them serving everyone so be patient and you will be rewarded with the best plate of food you've had in a while.
