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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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

Having spent time in Indonesia--the start of my nasi goreng addiction--I was super excited to try this food truck based on the reviews here. Here's my breakdown of the experience: Ordering ease: 5 stars Friendliness of staff: 5 stars 18-Spice Chicken: 4 stars Nasi Goreng: 1 star (so sad, but this was terrible!!) Deluxe Fries: 1 star (super soggy, and sort of a weird vinegary undertone?) Jasmine Rice: 2 stars (I don't think they're offering coconut rice anymore. Based on the reviews here, I expected it to maybe be coconut-y even though it did clearly say on the ordering site that it was plain.) They were really super nice, so I hate to not give a glowing review, but after anticipating it all day, the actual experience was not what we'd hoped for. read more

I didn't get a photo of the lemongrass chicken sandwich but it was delicious and very well cooked, not too dry and the cole slaw is a very nice touch. Their brussel sprouts are my absolute favorite thing and are what mine aspire to be any time I cook them (really get them as a side, it's definitely worth the $3 upgrade) read more

A little over a year ago I "stopped by" ;) StopBye Cafe at their shop in Hawthorne and enjoyed their Rendang dish. I instantly became a fan of that day but was sad to find out that a couple months after stopping by, they had closed their shop. I quickly found out that from shop they moved on to be a food truck! When I saw their food truck stop by ;) near work, I knew I had to stop by ;) and check it out again. The food truck has a little bit less selection then their restaurant but nevertheless, they still had favorites like the Rendang. I was tempted to get the Rendang again but chose to get one of their Sate dishes instead. They've got a option to create your own Indonesian style Sate where you can your protein: Beef, Chicken, Shrimp, Tofu or Portobello, marinated with Indonesian spices and condiments. I got the chicken sate rice bowl which came with coconut rice, peanut sauce and a three spice sauce. The chicken sate bowl was a nice lunch bowl. The rendang is still my favorite but the chicken sate was not a bad dish to try. I enjoyed the coconut rice in this dish as well as the flavorful chicken. The coconut rice was jasmine rice cooked with coconut milk and coconut water. It was unique and a great match to the marinated chicken. The peanut sauce added a little more pizazz to the bowl. If you want an even more kick though, the three spice sauce is the way to go. This three spice sauce however is not for the faint of heart because it is SUPER spicy. (Haha I normally don't capitalize words in more reviews but when I say "super," I mean SUPER!!). Thank goodness I had the Iced Coco-Coffee from their truck near me. It's a refreshing drink with coconut milk and fresh brewed coffee slightly sweetened with palm sugar and served over Ice. (Tip: if you check in on yelp you can get a free drink!) I am glad to see that StopBye Cafe did not really say "bye" when they closed their Hawthorne restaurant. It's nice to see they're still around but now via a food truck. I was happy to "stop by" and try their food once again. read more

I have to stalk them on Instagram and follow them wherever they're in the South Bay. They're so nice and friendly, and their food hits the spot! Their 18 spice chicken is the one that caught my eye when I first saw the video of it being cooked with their deluxe garlic fries. I ate it all in one sitting and passed out in the parking lot. Their beef RenDeng bowl is delicious! Comes in vegetarian option too. It's beautifully arranged with beef, two huge eggs and the sauce is to die for! I can't choose between the 18 spice or the bowl so I get both to go! I want to go back and try everything else on their menu but The smell of the RenDeng keeps calling me. I always catch them at El Segundo or the San Pedro Brewery read more

I love this truck. I stopped following food trucks a long time ago. If I see them, great, if not, whatever. But I keep tabs on this truck. When it comes near me, I go. There aren't enough Indonesian restaurants as far I'm concerned, and this one comes to me! Chicken skewer and soba, veg rendang, salad, brussels sprouts, 18 spice chicken! Justin's 18 spice chicken is fantabulous. I inhaled it! Brussels sprouts - eh, I thought. But I was wrong. These are deep fried, with deep fried jalapeño slices, with garlic, vinegar, and parmesan. This is well thought out. Vinegar is just the best idea for brussels sprouts. Veg rendang - tofu and eggs, on chicken flavor (I think) rice. It's spicy, and saucy, and delicious. Chicken skewer - so flavorful. Salad - good ol' salad. But this one is lovely, with radishes and other veg, and so fresh. Follow them on IG for weekly locations. They recently got their truck repainted, and it looks great. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find this food truck in front of my apartment! They used to have a shop in Hawthorne and I used to go to eat the Brussels Sprouts. It is still the BEST Brussels sprouts EVER! It's $7 for Brussels sprouts dish or you can get the $14 special combo with the 18 spice chicken and Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts are sautéed together with jalapeño and vinaigrette and sprinkled with garlic and Parmesan. *DROOL* You can follow them on Instagram at stopbyecafe to see the next location they will stop by!

There was a StopBye Cafe Truck at the LA Auto Show and the food looked really good snd decided to try it. We ordered a combo which ones with a soda and also ordered a Thai Iced Tea. When we received our order, they gave us the combo and the Thai Iced Tea. We asked kindly for our soda and the lady at the pick up window started to argue saying your combo comes with a drink, the Thai Iced tea is your drink! I argued no because I ordered that separately. She kept going back and forth with me. She tried telling me that I was incorrect just because she didn't want to acknowledge they made a mistake. She was forcing me to pay $5 for a can of soda that was included with the combo! Since she didn't want to give me the soda she told us I'll give you your money back but give me the food back. That's exactly what we did. We had paid $50. She preferred to lose $50 than give us a can of soda! Never again ! read more

We drove all the way out to LA just for the food and it did not disappoint. Justin is an amazing cook and has come up with some really delicious fusion recipes. Familiar - full of the same comforting and robust flavors, but with a twist. The Beef Rendang, and Justin's Chicken are definitely my favorites, but the Brussels and parm fries are to die for.

The two stars are for the customer service. I ordered the pork poppers with fries and as delicious as the pork poppers were, I was so disappointed by the fries. I ordered this food from their food truck, and the picture clearly has garlic fries on it as do most of the photos, so when I ordered the pork poppers, I was expecting garlic fries. Also, the cashier never asked me if I wanted garlic fries, so I had no idea. Once I received my order I came right back to let them know they forgot to give me garlic fries. Their response was that it's supposed to come with regular fries. I let them know their photo clearly has garlic fries with the order, and they responded saying, if I wanted garlic fries, I would have to ask for them, which would be an up charge of $3. Honestly, had they just informed me ahead of time, I wouldn't be writing this review. So for some advice, please inform your customers. Thank you! read more

I was on my way to grab some pizza from Abbots Pizza Co. as it was First Fridays. I am a local, trying to support our beloved little pizza joint. BUT.....I ran into this amazing food truck. Amazing because it was reasonably priced for the quality and taste. I ordered the 18 piece BBQ 1/2 chicken with a side meal. It was late so I opted for the salad . The dressing was a light lemon vinaigrette. The CHICKEN was to die for... it boasted a blend of Asian and other exotic herbs and spices. The owner was wrapping things up for the night, yet kept the food going until the last customers were satisfied. I hope to see his food truck again.

I don't know if I just got unlucky, but I don't know how anyone can say this is good. I got it as a food truck at the LA Auto show and had the chicken sandwich, beef plate, beef sandwich, and garlic noodle bowl. Everything was just amazingly bland and lacked any kind of distinctive flavor that made it Indonesian other than the noodles. Heck it even lacked salt and sugar. The beef literally was unseasoned and tasted like me just cooking some beef at home with an instant pot with just a bit of soy sauce. The chicken sandwich was no better than chick fil a but it cost $16. The fries were terribly dry like day old McDonald's fries. And the Coco coffee honestly just sucked and tasted like coffee with spoiled sour milk in it. Worst of all it took 20 minutes to order and another 25 minutes to get my food. It was "wish I could have gotten a refund" bad. read more

I've been following their Instagram since last year and today i finally had a chance to try the food at Runaway Playa Vista. I got chicken satay with soba and my partner had beef tacos. We both loved it much cos the meat was tender, rich flavor and generous sauce. It was not just delicious and tasty but the presentation was pretty good. The guy who took our order was super friendly and he introduced us to the chef (Justin). I definitely will be back to try other food in the menu. Kudos to StopBye Cafe. read more

Generally speaking, I think that food trucks are overpriced and underwhelming. Why should I pay restaurant prices to eat from a box on a park bench? Well, StopBye Cafe tells me why. The friendly proprietors make an exquisite moist and well seasoned chicken (Justin's 18 Spice Chicken) with a rich and deeply flavored rice that has an added toasty crunch (coconut rice) and then you can get those Brussels sprouts that are rich and spicy (not hot hot hot) with a hint of creamy tang (Jalajo Brussels Sprouts). It was delicious, filling and put a huge smile on my face. The servings are substantial, and they are exquisitely prepared. There is obviously a lot of love that goes into each dish. The flavors are multidimensional and the dishes were perfectly prepared. I was so impressed that I went back and ordered the Trio of Mushroom Skewers. This was a bit odd. It was a portobello cap on a stick with a sort of weak peanut sauce. I think that the dish would have been much better with a smaller mushroom that is easier to eat and more accepting of marinade as well as a creamier and more generous peanut sauce. C'est la vie. It doesn't draw away from some of the BEST CHICKEN THAT I HAVE EVER HAD. And I don't even care that much for rice. And I ate every bite. Oh my. Plus my kids loved it. 2 orders of chicken and rice and 2 orders of Brussels sprouts was perfect. read more

I found StopBye Café when looking for a food truck for my daughters Sweet 16 event. We went to a pop up and taste tested a few dishes and they did not disappoint! Their flavors were deep, and tasted like each item had taken hours to prepare. I went home that night and immediately inquired about having them at our event. Justin (Chef/Co-Owner) went out of his way to work with my budget, was receptive to all of my requests and numerous emails. The day of the event, Justin and his business partner Tom plus crew arrived early. Tom is great and very witty. He kept our guests laughing and having a good time while waiting for their orders. The food was cooked fresh onsite and quickly. Everyone was happy and full! I highly recommend StopBye Cafe for any event small or large. *THIS IS IMPORTANT* Chef Justin went out of his way to cook one special order ahead of ALL other dishes for a guest that is severely allergic to every thing! Our guest told us later that it was the first time she EVER enjoyed having a delicious meal and not have one single allergic reaction! This was an incredible thing to do for our guest! Since our event, I have followed their happy food truck all over L.A. seeking out my favorite vegan Tofu Rendang and Brussels Sprouts that will change your life! My family has tried most if not all of the menu and StopBye covers all bases. Thank you Chef Justin for your excellent food, amazing service, and sunny disposition (He has the best smile). Thanks also to Tom, for always cracking me up and being so genuine and kind when we "StopBye". I am a customer and fan for life! read more

This wonderful food truck came to our apartment community . It was AMAZING ! I ordered the Abang Chow Mein (Mee Goreng) I ordered it with shrimp also asked for it to be spicy. Oh my goodness did they deliver on the spice! I loved it. Large portion so I have for breakfast. If you can't handle spice do not ask for extra. It also comes with a side dish .Delicious! My husband ordered the Borneo Pulled Beef Sandwich . It on ciabatta supper soft bread with spicy slaw. Also excellent . Deluxe fries. I very much recommend this food truck, especially when they are such kind people and a very clean and fast service. We will definitely see them again. A rating read more

The food ticket even has the wrong times so there is no accountability, food safety (gloves), refunds for terrible service, and it was about a long wait for basic things. To the owner: the receipt says 12:52am, I started waiting around 9:45pm. By the logic you gave me, it should take 3 hours to make 6 cookies? That doesn't make any sense. Any commercial cookie place pre-bakes their cookies to lower the wait time for their customers. I love hiphop, I love music blasting. I'm hard of hearing so if I can't even think straight from the sound after being particularly deaf that's something. How did I know they were not wearing gloves? I asked them 2-3 times during the allotted time and when they answered they were not wearing gloves. Went I went the final time to the window I was watching the worker put our cookies in a container without gloves and he handed them to me. We didn't even eat the cookies because I didn't see gloves on at any point of the process. The reason for the 0/5 stars is the service ordering was odd, no one greeted me, the lights were off when I ordered for a good while. The cookies took way longer when they could be pre-made to quicken the customer experience. More visibility of the windows to see the actual process of all the food would help customers feel rest assured basic food safety and prevention of cross contamination. And lastly, good customer service of all guests. We want good food, we want excellent cookies. That was not my experience, in any of the process. 7/20 update: As a customer, waiting 30 minutes to 2 hours for 6 cookies is way too long. Even if they are the best damn cookies I've ever had, no way am I waiting outside that long for them. I'm not telling you how to run your business, I'm giving you suggestions based on my terrible experience. Again, the cookies were so gross I left them in the trash can at the hotel we were staying at.

The seasonal peach jasmine tea was the surprise standout ..floral jasmine up front, real peach sweetness (not syrup-bomb fake fruit) on the back end. Balanced in a way that seasonal drinks rarely pull off; most places either overdo the fruit or underdo the tea. This one's dialed in. Iced Spanish latte rounded things out and didn't miss either; espresso with enough backbone to cut through the condensed milk instead of getting buried by it. A lot of places let the sweetness take over; ROK kept the coffee actually tasting like coffee. 4 drinks, zero misses. That's not luck; that's a program that's actually dialed in behind the counter.

This truck is new in our rotation at work, so of course, I had to try it, even though the name makes zero sense to me. I appreciated that they had menus to hold and look over so I could read all of the ingredients. I am a ridiculously picky eater, despite loving so many different cuisines.I ordered the fries and the beef tacos.Lets talk about the fries, dudes. There is no reason ever to serve that many french fries. Those could have fed a family of four for a week. They were delicious, though. The 700 people I work with who helped me eat them all enjoyed them. (Okay, it was five people. But, still.)I ate one taco at lunch time and was completely full, so I saved the second as my afternoon snack. They're fairly sizable tacos with a generous amount of meats and veggies. I understand that they're doing a fusion thing, but I do think the tacos could be improved by not using peanut sauce. It's just a bit too much happening in the mouth all at ounce. They're very friendly, and I appreciate that they use cardboard packaging instead of foam. I hope they consider some alternatives to the single-use plastics (cups for condiments, plastic cups for their beverages, plastic straws, plastic cutlery). But, I also understand that most food trucks also use these plastics. It's more of a suggestion to the owners that I think would go over well with Angelenos. I think next time they're here I am going to try the chicken because it sounds unreal. Edit: Per the owner, they use compostable straws and will be moving toward sustainable packaging. Great news! read more

Lets start off with the service. As I approach the truck i notice a group of people hanging around it, nothing more than a bunch of thugs from the "WESTSIDE" as they say. Shooting craps off the side of the truck. Rag tied around their faces and no shirts on, Must be in DTLA and I was. I approach the side of the truck to be greeting by some short stubby guy with a beard. Kept chewing on his fingernails as he went over the menu to me when I didn't even ask. I ordered some sate nachos and when i pay for it they hand me an order number, I went to use the restroom and came back literally 2 minutes later theres no more thugs and I see them running down the street with my food! i asked why they would give them my food and they said "When the order is ready its ready you get it now or we throw it on the floor" read more

I went up to the window to get my food, Tom looked at me and said "what no tip?" before he let go of my bag. it was very disrespectful and i was enraged. my food was cold, they gave me the wrong rendang it had no eggs and it was beef when i ordered vegetarian they didn't give me the rice with my rendang and the brussel sprouts were burnt to black charcoal balls and then left out to also get cold read more

Amazing to say the least. I have had almost everything on the menu. I visited the resturant now eating off the food truck. The Sate is full of flavor and the coconut rice is a nice balance. My favorite remains the Brussel sprouts (jalajo) and 18 Spice chicken. Yet. The Rendang (Indonesian style fusion stew) is another fav. These guys are amazing. Consistency is a hallmark and the food is amazing. I hope in the future they expand and return to brick and mortar. Best of luck on the road to fine cuisine and success. . read more

Hands down the best food I've ever had. I used to get delivery when they still had the store. It's very rare for me to even order food but I couldn't get enough of the food here. The portions were generous and just right. It tasted high quality and made with care. Tom delivered and was always friendly and professional. If you ever get the chance to order from here, you'll love it. read more

They serve up momos cooked to order and sell frozen momos for you to make back at home. After chatting it up with the family for a little, I ordered the vegan Jhol Momo, and it brought back all the memories of trekking through Nepal. Delicious dumplings with aromatic Himalayan spices, drowning in a spicy, creamy and nutty sauce. Great addition to the Farmer's Markets!

The coco momo which you don't find at most Nepali places was so fun. I don't think I will be ordering the butter chicken momo again - I was really disappointed in that one since I have had that in other places. But the others were pretty good. Overall very happy to have another momo spot in LA :) The service did take a bit longer than expected but I would rather than undercooked momos'

Brisket, bacon, and mac and cheese were the main players but ranch dressing, Lobo sauce and more cheese were also involved. I thought the price tag was a little steep-because I was expecting a pretty small cardboard serving tray with a couple slivers of brisket, a scattering of bacon bits. I was WAY OFF, when my order was ready and I picked it up it was the giant styrofoam tray you see before you-and it was LOADED with brisket and bacon and mac and cheese just spilling out everywhere. I figured the utensil would be unnecessary, figuring I could just scoop up the toppings easily. I obviously needed it to wade through all the richness that was the Wachos. I'll be sure to look for them again soon, hopefully I'll have skipped a meal or two at that point.

My father and I were purchasing three plates of their king size dumplings and while paying asked for two of the mandus to be packed separately. There was no other customer besides us, and the owner and maybe her husband was making dumplings, but the other worker was not. They were not busy from my point of view. The owner lady replied with an attitude saying they dont do that there. When the worker begrudgingly decided to acquiesce to our request anyway when we weren't saying anything and trying to laugh off the awkwardly aggressive response, the owner scolded the worker in front of us saying "Do you not understand what they asked for? They asked for two to be packed separately - how can we do that??" Mind you, we were already feeling extremely awkward like we needed to be apologetic for inconveniencing them for even asking. The worker looked annoyed as she got out seal wrap to wrap our dumpling - she looked upset to the point that I felt awkward to even have to remind her that we asked for two of the meat dumplings to be wrapped separately. Instead my poor father had to remind her as she started trying to wrap one kimchi dumpling instead. I love their food, don't get me wrong, but I have never felt so disrespected while making a purchase. Mainly because it wasn't targeted towards me, but my father. I started to get upset by the whole situation wondering what we did so wrong asking for two to be separated, and then the treatment they gave us like we were being so rude and disrespectful to them - I still can't wrap my head around it. ESPECIALLY to a father in front of his daughter - that is so awkward for me. He did nothing wrong and did not deserve that kind of treatment from these ladies. I told them I would wrap the dumpling myself since it's such a hassle, and I even paid them a dollar extra for that scrap of seal wrap and 2 extra minutes of their time. Seriously I am still fuming about the entire episode and I can't believe they think it's okay to treat their customers like that, and I really hope they understand that they shouldnt do that. 다 같은 사람이고 아무리 뭐 기분이 나쁘시던 피곤하시던 사람 그렇게 무안하게 만들고 틱틱대면서 만만하게 취급하는거 아니에요. 저희는 뭐 짜증 못내서 화를 안내는 사람들 아니고 저희는 기분 좋게 맛있는 만두 사고 일하는 직원들 한테 나눠주려고 갔는데 오히려 만두를 사면서 욕먹는 기분이었어요. 제발 다른 손님들 한테 그렇게 대하지 마세요. 사람 도리 아닙니다.

I ordered without looking at prices, and when I went to swipe my card was a bit surprised if the price given it's a food truck. Then when I got my food the portion was pretty small. Food was good, but should have either been twice as much of it, or the cost should have been half what it was.

We were excited to check out Pickles & Peas (one of a handful of food trucks at the Clockshop Kite…read moreFestival) & purposely did not pack any lunch items to try them out. I gave them an extra 1/2 star up for a total 4 stars because of the friendly service and fresh food. The good: Service was friendly. Food was served to order and fresh. The meh: Portions were ok- just enough for 1 person and definitely not enough to share. Entrees were not overly packed with meat and could be heartier. Chicken shawarma press (8/10): Arrived hot and crisp on outside. Skinny pressed wrap. My daughter liked it and perfect amount for her. Steak Frites pita wrap (7.5/10): my hubby thought there was so much sauce that it drowned out the ingredients. Wished there was more meat. Loaded fries bowl (6.5/10): Not a huge bowl of food but just enough. Fries are freshly cut/made but if you're expecting crispy/crunchy pommes frites type of fries, these are not it. I chose beef shawarma as my protein and the cut of the shawarma was not long, thin shaved shawarma. It was like beef shawarma bits/meat dust (Lol!). Again, sauce (tahini?) was smothered over the top so it was unbalanced with too much sauce, not enough meat and oily (not crispy) fries on the bottom. The bad: The prices were quite high for what you get! For example, the loaded fries bowl was $22! All 3 of our meals with a side of fries (& added tip) was close to $80! I like to support food trucks and small businesses but P&P might not be worth it for the amount you get.

The menu is well representing of the name of the food truck, tacos, burrito, rice, pad see ew, etc. We had garlic shrimp with rice ($16), carne asada burritos ($14), and fried plantains ($8). Garlic shrimp with rice: good portion, half a dozen of good size shrimps. Everything is well done but lack of flavor. I actually had with the sauce from burritos (crushed chilly peppers, fish sauce, with lime) to add more flavor. Carne asada burritos: rice, grilled beef with Thai curry. It is a surprisingly nice twist. Plaintains: a twist on Thai fried bananas. The foodtruck peeps were nice and friendly. Food came out with good pace. We waited for about 10 minutes. Overall, we enjoyed our meals. The value is good for the portion (thumb up!)

No regrets! Hard to choose from street tacos, burritos, Teriaky bowls, plantains and so on. We settled on the 3 Amigos, 3 cool tacos: garlic shrimp, crispy pork belly and chicken satay peanut sauce, and chips and cool salsa-s, plus a few cucumbers to cool you off! $14 for this, a tad pricy but worth it. The food was delicious, the shrimp not spicy, the chicken satay full of flavor, the sauce was great and we loved the pork belly. Not health food, but delicious. I'd have these taco-s again in a heartbeat! We also tried their the Horchata, decent, not my favorite, it lacks cinammon, but OK overall. Next time I'd like to try their churros! Great customer service, they get your order fast and don't take forever to make the food for you! Nice people working here, kind and helpful! Cool food truck to try if you'll see it an event. Thai and Mexican? Two great tastes that taste even better together!

This is absolute rubbish and a disaster Buying restaurant depot foods and charging Restaurant products absolutely horrible As also soreness to the food and it's not fresh While speaking to other people in the area, they have all agreed that they saw what happened and they are completely in the wrong. I don't think that they realize that if I would've eaten that sandwich, they gave me containing mayonnaise as they said it had it verbally after I purchased it and received it and it didn't say it on the menu that I could've sued them perhaps maybe we will and they tell me that what I'm doing is harassment lol harassment for speaking up harassment for purchasing a product and getting something else and being overcharged?
