    Nice easy to understand menu
    Deb V.

    The service was nice and patient. The food came quickly and was hot. I ordered the vegan mee goreng ( chow mein) and it was very good. It was not spicy and I wished I asked for a side of hot sauce. The veggies and tofu were very fresh! My only negative comment is the cost of $15 for a small portion, wished it was bigger.

    Food Truck 3
    Tania T.

    I found this food truck at Jackalope Fair at Pasadena last weekend. We were so excited to find an Indonesian Food Truck! What! That's super rare and as an Indonesian, of course I'd give some support and upon further inspection, I realized that it wasn't 100% authentic Indonesian food, it was a fusion! okay, no problem, let's try it anyways. And I saw they had nasi goreng (fried rice). That's a classic Indonesian dish that's really hard to not like. We all grew up eating this and it's still a staple in many Indonesian homes today. Anyways, we decided to get the fried rice with shrimp just to give them support and a try, if it's good, we can always order other items on the truck. They have rendang (pulled beef) and lemongrass chicken among other things but they were served in either a burger form or as toppings on french fries. Back to nasi goreng - you can get it either chicken or shrimp. We chose shrimp, and not too long after our name was called and the food was ready for pick up. Let me break down the bowl for you - the fried egg on top seemed like it was fried there. And the pickles on the sides were fresh. The fried rice was $15 and it came with 3 pieces of shrimps. They were cooked with salt and pepper and had some flavor to them. And then as you dig deeper into the bowl, you get to the "Fried rice", except it was NOT fried. It was plain white rice with sweet soy sauce, no other seasonings. and again, NOT fried. It was such a disappointment! and a misrepresentation of what Indonesian food really is. Based on our experience on the fried rice, I refuse to spend more money on the other items on the menu. It was just bad. I'm not against the whole fusion idea, it could work, but please don't compromise the Indonesian flavor. The service was okay, the guy taking the order was efficient, just wished the food would have reflected more Indonesian flavors. and just a note - Fried rice should be fried. it's in the name.

    Pulled pork sandwich

    Had the pulled pork sandwich.... Yum. Came to try various vendors and the was by far the best. Looking forward to seeing where you stop by next to try something else.

    Tofu Mee Goreng (vegan option)
    Tracy K.

    Grateful for their vegan option and it was clearly labeled on their menu. They were one of only food truck in Los Angeles Comic Con that had something for me to eat. The cashier who took my order was nice. I had their Tofu Mee Goreng (stir fry noodles, Indonesian soy sauce mix, cabbage, kale, pickled carrots, cucumber, Tofu), and fries seasoned with salt n pepper. The Mee Goreng was a little too oily, but it was really tasty, but portion is a little smaller. I was originally going to rate 4 stars for these , however, having the vegan option saved me from looking around and walking around the convention hangry hahaha!

    Me and the gang hit the Stop Bye Cafe at the All Toyotafest in Long Beach. I was eager to taste something exotic and unusual. The service was quick and upbeat and friendly. But the food was a disappointment. Not bad, just routine. It tasted like every other fine but forgettable pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. Unique? No. Exotic? Not even close. Unusual? No way. And for my forgettable sandwich and formerly frozen fries I had the pleasure of paying $20. I hoped that my lunch might lift or improve or brighten the day. It did not.

    This food truck was at a local artisan fair in the park. I shared the brussel sprouts and chicken mee goreng. I will say the portions were generous. Also, the brussel sprouts were delicious! Well seasoned and cooked. As for the mee goreng, I'm no expert on Indonesian food, but it was only ok for me. The flavor was nothing to write home about. It was solid enough, and I enjoyed the fresh veggies, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get this again. I enjoy the instant noodle mee goreng I've had more. The food did come out super fast. The prices were more reasonable than what I saw on yelp. Apparently, the prices before were based on Comic Con. I would not pay comic con prices for this. I'm sure there are tastier options. The brussel sprouts alone would be 4.5 stars, but mee goreng was about 3.5...hence the overall 4 star rating. If this food truck is an option, I may stop by again, but I would likely only get the brussel sprouts.

    DRY CHICKEN SANDWICH!
    Evan K.

    Im Indonesian and the Food was horrible. To make it worse, the business partner (caucasian guy with a beard) assumes my gf is japanese and said "ARIGATO GOZAIMASU" and bow to us when we are not even japanese. That is super racist and should not be tolerated! The food is so bad, my beef rendang is swimming in oil and the chicken sandwich is dry as a cardboard. Save your money and dont support this racist person.

    Borneo Pulled Beef Sandwich with Regular Fries (should have been Deluxe Fries)
    Alexis R.

    They were the food truck of the day at my company and decided to give it a try since I don't eat much Indonesian fusion. I ordered the Borneo Pulled Beef Sandwich with deluxe fries as an add-on. The sandwich was ok, but for $15 I was expecting much more flavor. I also realized after the fact that I was only given regular fries instead of my deluxe fries and returned to have it corrected. They provided a full order of deluxe fries which I highly appreciated. The deluxe fries weren't worth the $1 upcharge--really just regular fries with some unknown parmesan-esque seasoning and fresh parsley, neither of which adhered to the fries. However, I did appreciate the good service and courtesy. TL;DR: Food is ok at best, but not exactly a bang for your buck; order was initially messed up, but service and willingness to correct are great.

    Fried lemongrass chicken bowl with garlic noodles
    Lucia L.

    I'm all for supporting small, Asian owned businesses, but unfortunately, this food truck wouldn't be a place I would STOP BYE again. The owners and employees are so nice and sweet, but the quality of their meals definitely fall a bit short for me, especially in terms of authenticity and taste. I ordered the lemongrass chicken bowl with garlic noodles, and I could barely taste the lemongrass flavor nor the garlic. This dish was saved by their complimentary hot sauce, but I still found it a bit lacking, especially with the lack of diversity in ingredients, overly strong vinegar taste, and poorly seasoned/super oily chicken and noodles.

    Brussel sprouts (4 side dishes worth)
    Jenny S.

    YUMMMM, Indonesian restaurants are far a few (which sucks because we love Indonesian food) BUT this is the FIRST Indo food truck we've heard of, and I would like them to stick around!! We ordered the family style dinner (even though we are only 2 people, so we could try more dishes! HEY leftovers are always a plus when a food truck is not always in your area) ---beef rendang: tender!! not my favorite but the best that is still around!! (my previous fav closed down) ---chicken and beef satay: nicely grilled PLUS comes with this awesome chili paste, going to ask for extra chili paste next time ---brussel sprouts: packed with flavor ---indonesian fried rice: great side to all the flavorful food Can't wait for them to make it back to Chino so we can try the rest of their menu! Everyone in my community also raved about their food!

    This pic says it all about the flavors of their food.

    Company does monthly food trucks. I don't know if it's "authentic" but the flavor is incredible. Very nice selection available. Large filling portions. The people working were amazing. Friendly and efficient. The truck itself is pretty cool, cool designs and paint. Ordered The Kemangi Shrimp Garlic Noodles which I thought incredible. So much flavor, very very good, nice spice. Brussel Sprouts were great. I was also able to sample the fried chicken sandwich, thought that to be awesome as well. Didn't intend or consider a review so I didn't take pics other than one. Since so many expressed their belief that this was the best yet, I had to review and I agree. Definitely would eat again.

    beef rendang
    Adam F.

    I love how many new cool food trucks Trademark Brewing is getting again, now that covid is (hopefully) on its way out - these guys were their food truck last Friday, and their menu looked so interesting, I had to pop in and try them. I actually remembered to call the order ahead this time for once, to avoid the wait - said I'd be there in 15 minutes, actually took us 20, so I'm also happy to report, they package the food well enough that everything was not only ready, but still hot when we got there. We tried: The beef rendang ($15) - FANTASTIC. Super flavorful, super filling, and while I assumed you'd only get the tofu and egg in the vegetarian version, the meat version did also include those. Thus, in addition to a good amount of very flavorful shredded beef, it also had two large pieces of delicious lightly fried tofu (I'm picky about tofu - theirs is excellent), and two delicious hard-boiled-and-lightly-fried eggs. So, in addition to being delicious, it was also very filling! Weirdly, the one complaint I had, the opposite of usual: too much protein and not quite enough curry! By the end, it was just a plate of beef and tofu, not that I was complaining *too* much. I would definitely get that again - and next time, I'd get one for myself instead of sharing it with my wife, so I could dump their equally delicious sambal all over everything (We have different opinions on how spicy things should be, and I can't stress enough how good their sambal is.) The garlic shrimp noodles ($14), which I thought was just "good". The noodles were good, but not as flavorful as the rendang, and the shrimp was large, juicy and perfectly cooked shrimp, but only like 4 pieces of shrimp. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't get it again (granted, it would probably also have benefited from dumping sambal all over it, if I hadn't been sharing both dishes with someone else.) The quadberry tea ($5) - my wife got one cause she wasn't really in a beer-drinking mood. Again, a totally enjoyable tea, but a bit pricey for $5 - it was enjoyable, but it wasn't mindblowing. (Plus I was at a brewery - I needed to save room for beer! On that note, Trademark also just released a new blood orange beer cocktail, the other half of the reason I was there - and it went *perfectly* with the rendang.) I would definitely make sure to go back anytime they were in the area - both for the rendang, and because I also really want to try their lemongrass fried chicken tenders next time (especially dipped in sambal!) And because it goes so well with good beer, obviously, but then, doesn't everything?

    Really good! We got the pulled beef sandwich!

    Late-ish lunch on Juneteenth. Of course there was a wait. 8…read moreparties down so we had plenty of time to pursue the menu. QR code at sign in. It's a typical sized place for a restaurant on First St. (I.e. small & narrow). They do make use of every space though. Parking is...Little Tokyo...sigh. IF you're lucky enough to get street parking, go buy a lotto ticket on your way home. Parking structures near by. We shared: Agedashi eggplant: Japanese eggplant beautifully "fan" sliced. Dashi was VERY good. Generous amount of grated daikon. Assort. Tempura: Saw this being served while waiting. Looked really good and it WAS! Large shiitake mushroom. Fan cut Japanese eggplant, kabocha pumpkin, shrimp tempura & two (2) shiso leaves. All VERY crisp not oily. Warm dashi side had deep umami rich flavor. Probably made the legit kombu & bonita flake method. #1 ordered the Miso carbonara: garlicky carbonara served with their signature house-rolled out udon. Wonderful dish. Portion sizes were adequate. #2 ordered the Uni carbonara: same garlicky carbonara with uni bits strewn about. Estimating one whole uni broken. This actually works for ease of eating. Plus, uni ranges in the $18/oz on the low end to $60 or more/oz on the higher end. Yes we love & appreciate their gonads. Udon noodles were chewy, bouncy & worth the wait. Yeah yeah....the dough is purchased. Not house made. But, seriously you've seen the YouTube videos of restaurants specializing in Japan? Yes there are places in LA who make their dough & roll it out. It's Hella lot of work! Yamachan produces large scale udon/ramen in San Jose. It's fine. Let them work out the dough to water ratio. Also portion size was decent since we shared a couple apps. Might want to consider the option of extra noodles. The table to our right full of younger male co-workers were there to socialize. They probably all grabbed an afternoon snack. Was it worth the 30-40 min wait? ABSOLUTELY! Michelle 2025 Star. Yes it's worth the wait even with the sucky parking. Got so excited forgot to take photos of our udon. That's ok. Just take a look at the 3,000 photos.

    Sometimes you just want a simple well made meal…read more I love coming by to watch the udon masters make the udon, so freshly made! I love getting a kake udon, just great handmade udon with really flavorful broth and some green onions as complements to the noodle soup. Amazing!
