4/22/19 - This was my 3rd time coming to this food truck!!! The other two visits were more than 5-star visits because the food was good, I mean good!!! The prawns and oysters were seasoned and the French fries were superb!!! I don't know what has happened since those visits. Is it because of this virus, his budget or just being plain lazy and just walking to the Cash & Carry in front of the truck and buying those breaded oysters, and shrimp? What he was selling was fresh prawns and oysters that he took his time and seasoned!!! I am sorry, I guess I will go back to cooking my own or go to Bianchi. The pictures are from the past! read more

Was given a sample chicken wing early in the day and a sample of their pear infused lemonade while working at the Courtland Pear Fair. Before the long ride home stopped and got a pear infused lemonade. Very refreshing! Chicken was also very tasty. The owners/workers were all very nice and customer service was outstanding. I will definitely be on the lookout for them again for a chicken plate soon. read more

A must! Great food that was hot and fresh. We drove from Manteca and will definitely make the drive again. We had the 2 way combo and fried chicken combo. My spouse loved the bang bang sauce. Definitely worth it. read more

So I visited some food trucks in Lathrop on Saturday. I had a taste for some fish, so I decided to go with the "Chase the Smell" food truck. I am so glad I did. It was great! I got the small fish with fries. The fish was perfect. It was light and flakey and well seasoned but not overboard. The fries were lightly seasoned and were quite good. The lady at the window asked me if I wanted some bang bang sauce? I was like ahhhhh yeah I think I do. It was sooo good. I'm definitely going back. read more

Made to order. Seafood & Poultry. Ordered around 1pm. Taking my first bite into the fish I was impressed at the well seasoned breading and flakiness of the fish! Afterwards, I devoured the chicken and the prawns. I was so impressed that I kept munching on the food and sacrificing my tongue being burnt because it was that good! Not to be shared with anyone else. LOL. The food was so good that after I was done eating, I kept checking inside the basket if I had missed anything. Unfortunately, I didn't miss anything so I guess I'll have to go back there. I believe Chasing the Smell would be a great addition to Silicon Valley if that is something they would consider? I'll be back to try Lobster bites! Thank you! read more

Put your fist in the air one time for Black Excellence! This place is for real for real. A food truck cooking up great, delicious and SEASONED food and providing A-1 customer service at the same time. I ordered a 6 piece chicken wings and fries. Delicious. Let me just say that the presentation was all that. The food was seasoned so well that I reached into the box and grabbed a lemon by mistake and even that tasted like chicken. The staff was great too. I informed them of my concern with shellfish allergies and they assured me that they used separate oil for separate meats. If only every place in Stockton did the same. Am I throwing shade at a place that I reviewed yesterday that almost killed me? I sure as heck am! _________________________________________ Side note: In their defense they apologized and offered free food in the inbox but they were kinda stand-off ish with their response until I hit them with the Walgreens receipt showing I'd actually had a reaction and needed benadryl but that's another story for another day. _________________________________________ But THIS place pays attention. I'll be sure to call ahead in the future because it did take a while but I wasn't in a hurry. They kept updating me on how much time it would take but I wasn't really pressing the issue because good food isn't quick food. I don't know where they get this packaged hot sauce at but man it's all the way on point. 5 Stars! Period. Do yourself a favor and go. Don't complain about the prices. You spend more at Olive Garden for basic food. Support Black Owned Businesses! read more

Soo Delicious I Drove From Stockton To Lathrop And It Was So Worth It Everything Was Fried Perfectly

Saw their food truck at Lathrop and I wasn't familiar with them so I had checked yelp to see the reviews. When I found out it was 4.5 stars it got me curious. And my goodness! I'm glad I tried it!! Their chicken was DELICIOUS!! I normally want gravy on my crispy chicken but this one didn't need it! I feel bad for the guy who skipped this food truck after I told him it has good reviews and it was worth a shot. This would be one of my main reasons why I would go back to the food truck again! Can't wait to come back and I hope they'll be there permanently! read more

What a pleasant and delicious surprise this was, considering this was my first ever food truck experience! I ordered their large Fish and Chips. What appealed to me most was the fact that their fish is cornmeal-battered and not beer-battered, which was a huge plus! The gentleman was gracious to offer me a sample as well. They took 10 mins preparing my order, but I understood that they're custom preparing each and every order. The fish was super crunchy and crispy, flavorful, not at all greasy and so melt-in-the-mouth moist! The fries too were perfect, hot and crunchy. Their condiments just made the food better and the lemon juice is a must! Definitely recommend trying their food out! read more

We will definitely be trying this place out again. Food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the 3-way which consisted of fish, oysters and shrimp. Everything tasted fresh and delicious even down to the fries. The 3-way was enough for both my husband and I. read more

So the name fits this spot. Let me tell you the word DELICIOUS is more like like it. I walked up and had the pleasure ordering from a really nice gentleman. When I stated I wanted catfish he told me it was basa I told him I didn't want it. He said at least try a piece on the house. I said okay fine. One of the reason I don't like basa is because it seems a little tough and it's not oily. I ordered the oyster and shrimp 2 combo meal, When I say bomb! Dear God I could have kissed that man it was so good. Its been hard to find "authentic" food in Stockton and this is on my top 3 list. The food was flavorful not over salted, fried just right! The sample piece of fish was good and to be honest I might order some from him again. The owner is super nice and he wants your honest opinion on his food. What places this place over the top was the cleanliness of the truck and the chefs. White shirt clean! Finger nails and hair clean! This place is on the up& up unlike some fish markets. read more

This has to be the best soul food I've ever tasted. excellent service. excellent food.

The food is absolutely amazing!This is a family business and they are extremely kind!I just wish they had

On point. This is exactly what Tracy needed. I'm a SF Native and been having a hard time finding good authentic food out her. But today I seen what I've been looking for and had to try it. I can't wait til this food truck come back out here I'm on it. Ohhhhh yeah in they had Buffalo Fish no bones read more

The food was pretty good. No, I just moved to the area and I saw them and I went there and now they're gone. Oh my God but the food was really good excellent service. read more

Phenomenal food with phenomenal customer service. They are very genuine and honestly feels like my uncle is serving me a plate. Obviously I recommend the fish but I'm literally debating in my head to go back to try everything els lol. If I have one recommendation is that to order in advance before showing up...they make it fresh to order which is great but in a world when everyone expects McDonalds fast food speed, we give up fresh quality. That's why this is 5 stars. Just be patient and if you're reading this, might as well order a large plate to go so you won't be mad when everyone picks at this amazing dish lol. Thanks again you guys, I'll be back in prob 30 mins to try out more stuff considering my entire workplace is hovering over my plate read more

We chased the smell and the food was delicious. Fried fish just how I like it and the greens were good. We will try them again, since this was our first time. read more

Pretty solid and I am surprised! I am usually not a fan of food trucks since they are usually overpriced and subpar (at least in areas where I've lived) so I was kind of iffy to eat at one but it seemed like food trucks were ample in Stockton. Originally wanted to try another truck but they were closed so Chase the Smell it was since it was right in front of us. Service was great. The staff was friendly. We got the small fish n chips with Mac and cheese. They gave us a few more pieces since we shared which was sweet of them. The fish was not greasy or overly breaded which is something I do not like about other places so I was impressed with that. I did wish the fries weren't so thick because I like mine a little bit crunchier and less potato-y. But the key part of the meal here was the Mac and cheese! It was super yum. I make a mean Mac and cheese so it's hard for me to like other places because it's usually lacking something or the cheese is just chunks and doesn't stick on the pasta but Chase the Smell kept their's pretty simple but yet still divine. Reminds me of my friend and his mom's soul food cooking. If ever in the area, give them a shot! read more

CHASE THE SMELL!!! It's a food truck with lobster, oysters, prawns and few other things. Seeing the truck day after day, I decided to try some fish for dinner. First let me tell you, if you are looking for something quick, this is not your spot. They cook to order. The line wasn't long, but some people had already placed orders before me, so the wait was a little long. Being that this is a food truck, it is on the street and of course there's no seating ( Food truck). This is not the place if you have a 30 minute lunch break, and try to grab something quick for lunch. There were two people working on Cook, which I assumed is the owner, and a young lady that was assisting with boxing your food, and also the cashier. Being it was the end of the day, I am sure they were both tired, and greetings were a little dull, but I understand. The taste of the food was delicious. Although the fries could have been cooked a little longer. The fish is cooked all the way through, crunchy, good flavor. As for the people that were ordering, they didn't seem to mind the wait. The food came out hot, and ready to eat. I saw them mistakenly get one order wrong, but the guy was not upset. He said he will just make it up on the next one... Whatever that meant. I will return try something different, maybe the lobster, or the oysters. They do accept all major credit cards, and of course, cash. I hope you enjoy. Go support Chase The Smell, I'm sure they would appreciate it. read more
