The BBQ Pork Bun, chicken, vegetables, cabbage, and mushrooms. It was a deal of 3 bao buns for 10 dollars. The cabbage and mushrooms stood out to me because they tasted like southern style collard greens, only without ham. The mushrooms gave it that meaty taste, even though it's a vegan bun. The service was great. I would definitely go back and try more items on the menu. You can find them every Thursday at the Ocean Side Sunset Market. Check them out and give them a try!!!

The pork is tender, slightly sweet, and coated in BBQ sauce that seeps into the fluffy bun without making it soggy. Highly recommend. - Chicken Vegetable Bun. Flavorful, but slightly dry chicken with minced vegetables that aren't really noticeable. It was my least favorite. - Cabbage & Mushroom Bun. A vegetarian option that doesn't disappoint. The cabbage adds a gentle sweetness, while the mushrooms bring a deep, earthy flavor that makes this bun surprisingly good. THE DRINK. - Thai Tea with Boba. Sweet with a strong tea flavor. The boba was perfectly cooked and chewy. THE PARKING. I'm sure you can park in a visitor section somewhere on campus. I didn't have to worry about parking since my friend opted to pick up the food for me! Thanks Jian-Sen! THE VERDICT. A solid food truck worth tracking down for delicious bao. The BBQ pork is a must-try, and the cabbage & mushroom a close second. Pack up a few dipping sauces for enhanced flavor!

This review is from the last time I had oxtails here before they took them off the menu and…read moresubsequently closed. I visit Havana Grill whenever I want some tasty oxtail.  I noticed oxtail was one of the specials.  Last time I visited the oxtail was on the regular menu and you could order it anytime. Oxtail was extremely tender and juicy.  The mix of beef flavor and the spices in the sauce were delicious.  This is my favorite oxtail dish in town. French fries were crisp and had a delicious fried flavor.  The oil was fresh and there was no aftertaste.  Excellent fries. Pineapple upside down cake was dense and did not have a fresh baked aura.  The outside part was starting to harden like it was getting stale so I guess it was baked at least a day ago.  Cake had a mostly mild flavor.  I didn't taste the pineapple though the top was lined with it.  I did taste a ton of ginger flavor.  It appears pieces of ginger were mixed in with the pineapple.  I love ginger as part of soy/ginger seasoning for fish but not in a cake.  This is one of the worst pineapple upside down cakes I have had.  My favorite is at Roy's where you have to give them 30 minute notice and they bake it to order.  Roy's version was piping hot out of the oven, was moist and fluffy, with amazing pineapple flavor. Staff provided fast and friendly service.

Especially all the street vendors and little Mom & Pop restaurants. So, when I came across this food truck in La Jolla last week, I had to try it. A M A Z I N G! After I ordered my Chicago Style Dog and sat on the grass I was immediately transported back to downtown Chicago. Neon green relish, pepper, mustard it had all the fixings in all the right combos. So, I ordered another one! Then, talking to the owner, HE'S FROM CHICAGO. Okay, well...it all makes sense now! The next day I had the Brat...smothered in perfectly sauteed onions and smeared with yellow mustard. This place transported me back to Chicago and I love them for it!

Pretty standard truck. Got the meatball sub, also pretty standard. Portion was just enough. The…read moremeatballs were medium sized and lacked a strong sear or bold flavors. Kind of gummy in texture. The sauce was very good but there was too little of it. Give me another meatball, 3x the sauce, wrap the entire thing in foil and send me away needing a stack of napkins. Until that happens I will probably entertain the other options during the Wednesday foodtruck meet downtown.

I ordered the pulled pork fries from Seoul Man Food Truck during Balboa's Food Truck Friday's and literally over a dozen people asked where I got the food - I should have been a paid ad for Seoul Man Food Truck haha!!

I am so glad I got this dish because I really enjoyed it! The line looked long, but food came or almost instantly after ordering which was awesome!!! The folks in the truck were so friendly and helpful! I will definitely eat from this truck again!

Looking out and seeing this one truck, alone, with a line of people, I was like "Ooh, Ohh, look!" The staff/window gal/cook/chef/owner were all very friendly. It was just a nice experience walking up to the window. Nicely done, Seoul People. The service was extremely quick. I finished paying and she was like, "Here ya go" as she handed me a plate. WOW! That was fast! The Seoul Man Bulgogi was very tasty. It was hot (temperature) and nicely plated with fresh vegetables and garnish. Nicely done and a definite re-order for next time. A goodly portion to share with someone too. The rib-eye was flavorful and cooked just right. Being a local Hawaiian kid from the islands, I love rice and this was some good sticky rice like I grew up with in Hawaii. Nicely done. The tables are nice, but very dirty and unhealthy. If I had my own food truck there, I would go out and wipe them off before I opened and every once in awhile after, just because I'm that kind of guy. They were actually kind of disgusting and we were very careful with our 5yo son and what he was touching. It looked like there was a lot of bird poop on the tables. Birds near food in San Diego? Go figure.... ;) I realize that the tables belong to the city, but I, personally, would clean them off before I opened. Just a thought. Downside. There are not a lot of trash options, only one. When we were all pau, I looked around and there was only one trash can nearby and it was overflowing. I think it has nothing to do the the Seoul Man Food Truck and may be a San Diego city thing, but it looked bad and was kind of a bummer to see that trash overflowing. I would have not known of the Seoul Man Food Truck was here, but I will definitely check their location the next time I'm in San Diego. Very good food! Oh, and don't forget to redeem the $2 off any entree, because I did since I just now saw it as I posted my review. :(

Both the burger and fries were delicious, and the server was very friendly, though it took them a minute to notice that I was there. The truck appears clean and well-lit, and they have menus both on the truck and on a stand off to the side to make it easy to see the options. My only negative is that the takeout containers are just open cardboard sort of bowls with no lid, and for a place with no seating where people are meant to take their food with them, this makes the food difficult and messy to transport. Regular takeout containers would be much more helpful. I will also say that $19 is a lot for a takeout burger (with tax and tip) however good that burger was. Definitely a splurge for me.
