    After going to Rasa Rasa's restaurant in the Mission, I knew I had to try the og food truck when I was in Mission Bay recently. The food truck is parked inside Spark Social SF, a permanent food truck area with plenty of seating. I ended up getting the Fried Turmeric Chicken platter which is my favorite dish and it came with jackfruit curry, veggies, and an egg. The chicken is super crispy on the outside but I found this to be a bit dry given how hard it is fried. I absolutely love the spicy sambal they serve on the side which adds a great kick to the chicken. The curry, egg and veggies really round out the meal and the shrimp chips on the side are a great treat! I could barely finish the plate so I ended up saving the shrimps chips for later.

    Food was amazing! The beef rengdeng and chicken satay are what we ordered. The amount of food for the price is generous also.

    The food is really good and I highly recommend the Pempek and Soto. This place is authentic Indonesian food and the food is amazing!! Customer service is excellent as well and the owners are so friendly!

    One of the things I love about SF is its diverse food scene. Who would've thought that you could find authentic Indonesian food out of a food truck--and at an affordable price at that? Rasa Rasa, located inside SPARK Garden, is just the place to check out! The Beef Rendang Platter came with a rich, unctuous beef stew made with coconut milk and spices, served alongside rice, curry jackfruit, sautéed greens, a deep-fried boiled egg, prawn crackers, and spicy Sambal paste on the side. This platter featured a perfect balance of components--the rich, fatty, curried beef was offset by the earthy greens, while the jackfruit provided a textural contrast, and the prawn crackers added a nice crunch. I also got the Gado Gado, a vibrant, colorful salad with a variety of crunchy vegetables (both raw and cooked), including green & red cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, collard greens, and cucumbers, topped with tofu, tempeh, peanuts, and prawn crackers. But the best part of this salad was definitely the earthy, crunchy, creamy peanut sauce, which brought all the components together! Overall, this food truck presented a fantastic variety of Indonesian flavors, and the service was super friendly too!

    beef rendang and fried chicken

    This is one of the best permanent vendors at Spark Social! For starters, the fried chicken wings was some of the luckiest I've had and everything was made to order. The beef rendang tasted so flavorful and spiceful, and even came with shrimp chips and cooked jackfruit in a coconut sauce! The portion was also substantial and I saved the rest for lunch the next day. The prices aren't bad at all considering the portion and quality of food! I will be coming here more often when I'm at Spark Social!

    I never had Indonesian food before and upon trying the Beef Rendang, I know I will be trying more! I'm familiar with alot of Southeast Asian cuisines so I had an idea of what the flavor profiles would be, but I was pleasantly surprised by the combination of food. The curried jackfruit arguably was as good as the beef, and the egg was cooked perfectly as well! Whenever I'm at the Spark Social area, I try to hit up Rasa Rasa unless they're closed.

    Consistently delicious food at this Spark Sf food truck staple! Whenever it's cold outside I love getting their noodle soup to warm me up. The flavors are so rich. The turmeric chicken was really tender, and I loved that there were leafy greens on the side. The sauce is so good over the chicken too! It's usually not busy here, so ordering and receiving my food is so fast. The food is packed up nicely so nothing spills when I'm carrying it from the truck to my table. The puffed shrimp chips on the side are a great crunchy snack too!

    Hot Wings | $10 (not spicy at all)

    Indonesian restaurants are a unicorn in SF. And, soon we're going to need these unicorns to fly us places because these gas prices are no joke! My co-worker's friend was a chef at Borobudur (last Indonesian restaurant in SF). After Borobudur permanently closed, as a side hustle, her friend would cook and deliver Indonesian meals to us at work. Since COVID, my co-worker moved back to Indonesia so no more Indonesian food for us. =( Being one of the most highly rated food trucks at SPARK Social/Parklab Gardens, I had high hopes for Rasa Rasa, an Indonesian/SE Asian food truck. Sadly, we didn't have the same experience as other raving reviews. Rasa Rasa is located in the Parklab Gardens next to Hookt Doughnuts. They're offering takeout, delivery (3rd party apps), and there's plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy your meal at. M E N U Apps, rice platters, and soups/noodle soups. There's also some fusion items like SE Asian taco wraps and burritos. Everything is reasonably priced at less than $14. Very vegan friendly. F O O D * Hot Wings ($10): https://bit.ly/3tCx05d I was hoping for some distinctive SE Asian spices but these tasted like plain fried wings (not spicy) served with sweet chili sauce. * Beef Rendang Rice Platter w/ curry jackfruit, sautéed greens, egg, rice, crackers ($14): https://bit.ly/3KocJaf Starting with the positive, I liked the thoughtful presentation with everything in their own little section and with garnishes. Sadly, half of the components were dried out. I visited before 5 pm, not before closing so not sure what happened. --Beef Rendang: While a dry, non-saucy curry, the beef itself was tough, dry, and stringy. Nice warming spices, though some may find it's toned down for the American palate. --Curry Jackfruit: Tender and meaty, lightly spiced. Best part of the platter and it was vegan! --Sautéed greens: Tender, slightly bitter with a bite. --Egg: Dried out. --Rice: Dried out. --Crackers: Light and crispy, reminds me of shrimp chips. S E R V I C E Friendly and fast. Food was ready in less than 5 minutes. Overall, while it was an underwhelming meal, I probably visited on an off day. I'm down to give Rasa Rasa another try when I'm at SPARK Social/Parklab Gardens again and hope to have a better experience next time.

    Shrimp Laksa Noodle Soup
    Tiffany T.

    I LOVE their Shrimp Laksa Noodle Soup! I love southeast Asian food, and this place executes it very well! Their shrimp is so fresh, and they give you a decent amount of it! The broth is so flavorful and tasty. The price is also very reasonable. Whenever I come to Spark Social SF, I feel like I should try new food trucks, but I always come back to this one and order the same thing because it's so good :)) It is food truck food, but restaurant quality Imo the best food truck in mission bay

    Mushroom rendang
    Sydney J.

    I came to the ParkLab and Spark Social food trucks with some friends for a Sunday dinner and ordered a mushroom rendang. The greens were rather bitter, the jackfruit was okay (only slightly spicy), and the mushrooms were the best part since they were more juicy and savory. The fried tofu was pretty good too, would've liked a few more pieces of it though. The food also came with a small amount of some kind of chips/crisps. Overall the food was decent but I felt like it was a little on the expensive side relative to how filling it was (I finished it all off though I'm typically someone who eats smaller portions than a standard restaurant meal).

    Matthew L.

    Yum! I love me some laksa. I used to go to Lime Tree for their Laksa and thought it was the bomb, until I went on a trip to Singapore a few years back. Then I realized I knew laksa all wrong. Hadn't found a place that made a good laksa in the Bay since then... Until I came across Rasa Rasa! Whenever I'm at Spark, I got to get a bowl of laksa! The laksa here is much similar to what I've had in SE Asia. Spicy, a little tangy, a little creamy, with bright seafood flavors! Wish the portions were a little bit bigger, as the bowl of laksa despite being really delicious is somewhat small for what you get. I've also had the beef rendang tacos which were really great! Usually I get that as an appetizer to complete my laksa meal so I'm contently full. But the main star is the laksa IMO. With the lack of Indonesian/Malay restaurants in the Bay, Rasa Rasa is a welcome addition to the food scene here. Terima kasih!

    Food truck at ParkLab Gardens. Beef rendang (food truck guy told me it was the most popular item on the menu): smells amazing, flavorful, crispy fish chips, but beef was a bit tough and dry. Wished there was brown rice option.

    Finally back at Parklab Gardens for my favorite restaurant out in the Spark Social/ParkLab Gardens Community, Rasa Rasa. Finally tried the Pork Shumai today. Just WOW, super delicious. The peanut sauce was awesome. Just wish their was some white rice in the plate to help soak up the Peanut Sauce. The Shumai was HUGE, bigger than traditional Shumai in Dimsum/Chinese restaurants. The wings were decent, nice addition of Sweet Chili Sauce on the side, just wish the wings were a little bit more seasoned or spicer. Rasa Rasa is my favorite trailer/truck out here for a reason. Please do yourself a favor and if you're in the area visit this awesome trailer. Thanks for another great meal Rasa Rasa

She surprised me with a reservation at Ox + Tiger and I was immediately impressed. The restaurant only seats 8 people, making the whole experience super intimate and personal. When Japanese and Filipino flavors come together, you get such a unique fusion cuisine inspired by chef couple Ej and Hatomi. Dinner was more than just a meal it was a 2 to 2.5 hour storytelling experience about their menu creations, how they met, and the grind behind keeping their dream alive. The menu changes monthly, so even if I told you what we had, you probably wouldn't get the same dishes unless you book now lol. It's a 3-course menu with optional add-ons, and definitely unlike any restaurant I've been to before. As a Filipino, I'll admit I can be picky with Filipino-inspired food because we grow up spoiled by our parents' cooking but this? I was genuinely impressed. Think familiar flavors recreated in their own creative and elevated way. Highly recommend.

Situated in a small, 8 seat counter, dinner is intimate with dishes being prepared right in front of you. The menu features three courses, an appetizer, main, and a dessert - with the option for an additional add-on. Our meal featured a focus on fish, in particular mackerel and monkfish. Each of the dishes were deconstructions of familiar concepts such as Caesar salad and a California roll, but enhanced with new flavors. The mackerel was sublime, perfectly charred exterior with a still raw interior. The monkfish was tender, coated in a ginger, wasabi sauce next to crispy sweet rice and avocado. The dessert was by far the most unique, being a miso dashi, mushroom cherry coated coconut ice cream with a tupig-like mochi on the side. The savory, sweet, sour combination completely catches you off guard but becomes increasingly addictive the more you eat. So bold and absolutely memorable. Ox&Tiger takes familiar concepts, breaks them apart, then fuses them back together with a flair of Filipino and Japanese flavors. This results in dishes that are utterly unique and innovative. Additionally, with menus and playlists designed by family, this truly feels like the epitome of a family-run business and a meal cooked with so much care in front of you. This is absolutely worth a visit and an opportunity to try new flavors you've never experienced before.

My son is still looking forward to trying that taiwanese minced pork bowl

    I came here at the recommendation of a friend in the neighborhood, and honestly, my thoughts about…read morethe place so far are that the food and experience were average. Everything about the ordering process and the quality of the food itself was good but not great. There was no wow factor or anything that left me feeling extra motivated to return, but I also wouldn't be opposed if I were nearby and craving onigiri. There's a single kiosk in-store to order at, but you can also place an order with the person working the counter if it's not too busy. I wasn't sure what I wanted immediately, so I waited for one of my friends to finish before ordering. I added 1 unagi eel, 1 unagi onigiri, and 1 crab onigiri to my basket and checked out. I have absolutely no idea what's the difference between "unagi eel" and "unagi onigiri", and when I went to pick up my order, the staff member told me my order was two unagi and one crab. However, I was charged $4.50 for the unagi eel and $4.30 for the unagi onigiri, so go figure. I could not detect a difference between the two, and the price of each averaged out to $4.40, so it's whatever. I unwrapped one of the unagi onigiris to eat in-store as we waited for a Zoox to arrive. It was actually pretty difficult to extricate the seaweed and rice ball filling in one piece to consume together, which I presume is because the onigiris are each made-to-order and due to the freshness, the separate ingredients haven't had a chance to marinate and congeal together. As I had not eaten all day, I quickly devoured the onigiris before and after our short ride back to a café where some of our other friends were waiting. The onigiris were, as I mentioned before, pretty standard minus the fact they kind of fell apart. I would say if you like onigiris, then these will get the job done, but they're nothing exceptional, so keep your standards at baseline.

The steak sandwich was absolutely phenomenal, with the steak seasoned and cooked to perfection and pairing beautifully with the charred onion aioli, plus a side of expertly crisped smashed potatoes that were so addicting. The steamed mussels were sumptuous and packed with umami, and I loved the two large bricks of toasted sourdough focaccia that were perfect for sopping up every last bit of the delicious dashi broth. But the pièce de résistance was the custard French toast, which I can only describe as the love child of bread pudding and tres leches cake as it was crispy on the outside but uber moist on the inside, custardy, and simply divine.

Not the best I've ever had but certainly among the best. The only thing I will say is that one of my companions can't have seaweed. The wonton soup was amazing but full of seaweed. It wasn't listed on the menu and we have never had seaweed in any other wonton soup so didn't know to ask if it could be left out. That was sad. All she could do was have a tiny spoon of the broth to taste it. The green onion pancake was very good. The red bean paste pockets use the same dough but filled with sweet red bean paste. They were a perfect way to end the meal. Next time I'm in the city I will visit again. Loved it all. It was worth taking the time to visit and eat there.
