First time eating here and let me say the meat was the SALTIEST meat that has EVER touched my tongue in my 60 yrs of life! I also told them light on the salt but they poured it on!!! My kidneys thanked me for throwing it out and not eating it! For those who don't know know, excessive salt adds to kidney damage! My first and LAST time wasting my hard earned $$ there! read more

Last night when we were out riding our bikes I saw the Street Steam Bunz food truck parked near the beer aisle in Oakley. Whenever we see the truck we always stop and get a little snack! We were able to order and get our food pretty quickly which is always nice. I always get the bulgogi bun because their meat is soft & flavorful (wish I could make this at home). My husband messed up and got himself a katsu bun. Not because it wasn't amazing, he enjoyed the crispy chicken and tasty flavors, but because he was jealous of my bulgogi bun! I mean who wouldn't be; once you've tried bulgogi, it's hard to have anything else. All their buns come with the pickled cucumbers and ginger which makes a nice fresh addition to the tops of the already warm and fresh buns. If you are wanting to try their food I definitely recommend the bulgogi buns! read more

We had a heard a lot of this food truck that mainly serves Concord CA. We found that they were to be near Four Legs Brewing in Brentwood CA and we made a bee-line for this place... The items they served reminded us of the fare we took for granted in Sunnyvale /Cupertino CA, Chairman Bao food truck outside Cupertino Whole Foods and Secret GardenKorean kitchen (now gone) in Sunnyvale . While the Bao and the Bulgogi were very good, nostalgic foods always taste better in the past ! Ambience was sparse and service was courteous We will find them again and of course have these items again! read more

I've been coming to this food truck for over 5 years and it never disappoints. If anything it just gets better and better as they grow. Everything is always fresh and high quality from the buns to the bowls! If they are ever in your area I definitely recommend! Also the service is always helpful and accommodating. read more

We love finding this truck when we either go to a brewery and they're there or just happens to be parked around town! I've had all three types of proteins in the Bao buns but the Bulgogi is by far our favorite. *Chefs kiss My only feedback is I just wish there was a better way to track you guys down so we can go splurge more often lol (I do see the occasional posts announcing what breweries you will be at but I'm sure you're posted around more spots!) read more

Steam Bunz is hands down the BEST food truck -- even my very picky family agrees! My personal favorite is the beef bulgogi, but the pork is a super close second. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, homemade, and consistently delicious every single time we go. You can tell they really care about quality and ingredients. My family even follows Steam Bunz on Facebook and my kids regularly ask me to take them there at least once or twice a month. We absolutely love it! read more

We honestly just happened to be driving down Clayton Rd one day and noticed this food truck in front of Staples. My husband LOVES steamed buns and we were looking for a bite to eat, so the truck caught his eye. We ordered 2 bulgogi beef bao ($8 each) and 2 chicken katsu bao ($7). Okay.. These buns are super yummy! My biggest regret is that we didn't get more. The bao bun itself is SO soft and pillowy. You can taste that the meats are marinated and the accompaniments of pickled cucumber and ginger create a nice balance of flavor. I enjoyed both but the chicken katsu one felt a little heartier. The bulgogi beef was flavorful- I just wish there was more of it. The beef was more in bits. I'm glad we were able to try this food truck. There's not a lot (if any) steamed buns spots in the area and they are crushing it. read more

Oh my goooodness. What else can I say but that you will INHALE these bao buns like they are straight air that keeps you alive. While I have followed street steam bunz on their Instagram for probably a year, tonight was my first opportunity to FINALLY try them...ooooh boy am I not disappointed. Honestly I'm probably hooked. No complaints about that lol. I had the pork belly bao and the beef bulgogi bao. Both absolutely incredible. The bun itself is so soft and fluffy that you squeeze it and it bounces right back to hold its shape. The sauces are legit and the pickled cucumbers are perfect. I'm still licking my fingers clean....don't judge they were clean before I started eating. Both meats were perfectly cooked. No fatty pork belly, you bite right thru it so every bite left still has meat. The bulgogi had amazing flavor and a nice crisp to the edges, just the way I like it. I finally ran into street steam bunz at epidemics ales brewery in concord but if you follow their IG you will see that the frequent Bills ACE hardware in martinez and lately the staples in concord on Clayton rd. I will probably hunt them down now as I cannot wait until my next fix! Please give then a follow, find them out and about, Eat their bao or rice bowls and sell them out! The quality and taste is worth it. read more

By far the best food truck in the Bay Area. No matter what you get, it's fire every single time. Some of the best pork belly, beef bulgogi, and chicken katsu I've ever had, not to mention the buns made from scratch are the fluffiest, most delicious bao buns I've ever had. Don't even get me started on all of the home grown produce either, they do it all. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. read more

I drove 30 miles and even paid a bridge toll to try the Pork Belly Bao. It was worth it. I will definitely be following this food truck and would go out of my way to buy a Pork Belly Bao. read more

5 stars for the rice plates. The pork belly was delicious. 2 stars for the street steam bunz that they're named after. The bao was such a huge disappointment. My daughter loves bao and we even ordered 2 plain on the side, because she'll straight destroy bao, it's one of her favorites. She took one bite and said, "oh no!" I tried it after and had to agree with my 5yo. I ate the meat out of my order and just shared the rice with my wife's plate. Love that the truck came out to the soccer games. My son really liked the fries. Wish they had a non soda option for drinks , but it is what it is. Highly recommend the rice plate... and maybe a name change (if not... change the recipe on your bao read more

A truly amazing food truck. I haven't had anything from here that I have disliked. The bulgogi and chicken katsu buns are amazing. They are balanced and well seasoned. The pork belly over rice is my favorite item they make. I love the flavor of the sauce and the fatty pork mixed together. The service is good and usually it doesn't take to long to get your order. Hopefully they can open up a brick and mortar store someday! read more

Finally got to get my taste of these buns at their Saturday post in downtown Lafayette in Saturdays. No line and pretty quick turnaround. I ordered the trifecta of buns which are Katsu chicken, pork belly and beef. Each is $7 and a decent size to share. My favorite was the chicken. Because the chicken is brined, the meat is juicy and tender. The beef was good but I didn't dig all the bits. Next time I try a bowl. Always support the local businesses. I can see using them to cater an event because it's unique and tasty! read more

I hired Street Steam Bunz to cater lunch at our office for 100 people and they were AMAZING. From the very start, they were awesome and so easy to work with. During scheduling, they were super quick with communication and I was able to get everything booked and squared away within a few hours. The day of, they arrived on time and were able to efficiently get 100 people served during our 1 hour lunchbreak. Their truck was well maintained, clean and provided it's own power. I ordered the rice bowl with chicken katsu and it was BOMB. The portions are definitely enough to fill up even someone with a big appetite and for me, I was able to bring half home to munch on later :) The food was fresh, delicious and you could tell they truly care about what they're serving up. I had so many people coming to my office to tell me how much they enjoyed the dishes they tried. It was my first time trying this truck and I would definitely recommend them for catering and for sure if you see them out and about, give them a try! BIG thank you to Street Steam Bunz for an awesome experience from start to finish! read more

Street Steam Bunz - Pork Belly Bao. - Food Trucks Near Me

I might have to become a groupie. Not for a music group, no, for a food truck. I had the most delicious sandwich from this truck that I'd gladly follow them around for lunch for a steamed bau bun with pork belly. The pork belly was crisply on the outside and juicy inside. The homemade pickles were delicious and so was the sauce. I normality don't eat the bun somehow I ate this too. I thought the price was very reasonable. I was halfway home and thought about turning around and going back and getting another one. But then remembered Esther the Wonder Pig, one of my favorite Facebook sites, and had second thoughts about having a sandwich. I kicked myself for not going back read more

Tasty food! The pork belly bao was delicious. Definitely would recommend. The proportions were good.

Food is amazing! I've never been let down and I try to go to this truck whenever it is in town. Usually they are at Four Legs brewing on Friday nights. Check them out you won't be disappointed read more

Love this place. Been a fan for a few years now and it's always a treat when they are nearby. Living out in Brentwood it's hard to get solid Asian flavors but they always hit the mark. My only complaint is that they don't come to the Dutch Bros as often as they used to. read more

I went here and ordered 2 buns and they were ridiculously small for the price. I wouldn't recommend this place if your hungry. And the owner said to stop my crying because i commented on their post. So can't take the truth I'll put it out there for everyone to see. Who's crying now? read more

No one does it like you guys. Everything is so flavorful and fresh. Never disappoints! Love your #1 fan read more

First time I had Street Steam Bunz was in the Veranda shopping center in Concord like more than a couple years ago. My family and I had the best experience. My mom has been trying to go back but the food truck would either be in Benicia or Brentwood and both locations are a mission. My mom finally saw on their Facebook that they would be in Martinez and she was overjoyed lol she dragged my dad along to go during the weekend and then she saw that they were in Martinez today and called me up and asked if I wanted anything. I said yes of course! She ordered the following items: Chicken Katsu Bao Bulgogi Beef Bowl Bulgogi Beef Bao Mac salad The beef was so tender! The rice threw me off a little. It had broccoli and carrot in it. They had chunks of garlic in it which was great! The Mac salad was so refreshing. I was so full from my Bulgogi Beef Bowl so I was unable to try the Chicken Katsu Bao so I took one home to try tomorrow. Love how Street Steam Bunz are now in Martinez! read more

Snapshot: - The buns are good, but not amazing. - The rice bowl is okay. - Price is fair for a food truck and the portion given. - Wait time is average for a food truck (20 mins) The buns were squishy which I liked but felt it was kind of plain as it only comes with meat, pickles and ginger. It was nice that they were not soggy though. Now onto the protein, which they did give a good amount per bun. - Chicken katsu was my fave. It was tender and juicy on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside. There was a little bit of sauce which added a little extra yummy flavor. - Bulgogi was a little burnt but still tasted decent. - Pork Belly was a little dry but had a nice flavor. I came during lunch time when they had a pop up in Walnut Creek. There was a lot of people waiting for their order. Someone told me they waited 30 minutes but it only took 20 minutes for me. I feel this is 59 be expected of a food truck but it always feels like forever when you are hungry and on a time limit for your break. However, I understand it was peak timing. Bottom line: Get the buns, skip the bowl. read more

Saw this place on the gram and also a fellow fatty recommended it...so I noticed they were at epidemic ales here in Concord, which is 3 minutes from the crib. Went out there with my crew of two and we really really liked it! We have a world class picky eater on our roster and he really liked it! I loved the baos, now theyre $8-$9 each ok... so my fatty mathematics thought thats 2-3 tacos worth. I starred either a beef one to test... it was delicious!!! The queen got a rice plate... delicious!! Bang for your buck... the rice plate is the one! We also got two plain baos and stuffed em with the rice plate stuff. Those lil buns are magical not gonna lie. The rice was so good we ordered a plate to go because for breakfast we made some over easy eggs and mmmmmmmmm it was delicious!!!! U guys need to add eggs to your menu let me tell you! That rice and the runny egg my gawd!!!!!!! In any case the fries are on another level... yes french fries! I loved that i was able to have a pint right outside from epidemic... was nice and super chill!!! The service was great! Clean! Its not cheap but if you look em up on the gram, Chef puts in the work!!!! Oh and those pickles Chef... u need to bottle those suckers! Those pickles boy!!!!!!! Oooooooooh weeeeee!!!! See u next time! read more

Just wanted to let the world know that this food truck is legit! I know some arse holes are posting bad reviews but honestly I've frequented Street Steam Bunz for almost two years and their food is always on par, in fact lately I have been craving their Bao but because of personal conflicts I haven't gotten there last month or so. If you get chance to grab a Bao from them ask for extra sauce and grab napkins and enjoy! My partner and I love Street Steam Bunz and so long as they are round we will always stop for a bite! read more

Just found this place on Instagram and it looked WAY too good to pass up! We live in Benicia so I was thrilled that they would be at the brewery out here today. We couldn't miss it. The buns are so fluffy, bulgogi is savory and a little sweet, but the pork belly! The pork belly was my favorite. So tender and juicy and a little crispy on the outside. Plus all the sauces were so good. Obsessed! The fried rice also had a great flavor. We'll definitely be back! read more

It has been awhile since I've been to the food trucks but we happened to pass by the San Lorenzo one so stopped by to see who was there. Since I did not want anything fried, that really limited my choices that evening. So we decided to get a small snack from the Street Steam Bunz truck, a short rib bun for me and chicken katsu bun for hubs. Although the filling was tasty at least for the short rib I tried, the bun itself did not have much integrity to it, breaking apart way too easily. Chairman Bao it is not. Might be better to get as a rice bowl but not sure if it stands out enough to be worth $15-$16 to go that route. read more

Writing this review wayyy after having tried them, so yea. Tried their Chicken Katsu Bowl and a Pork Belly Bao. The Katsu was tasty and even though there was a lot of sauce, I wanted more, haha. The Pork Belly anything is what I'd go back for; Nice crispy Pork and well rendered fatty goodness. I like their cucumber pickles; mild and cuts the richness. The garlic fried rice with the Katsu has good flavor. ps. Whenever I go to any food truck I always wish portions were bigger, but what can you do? One more Pork Belly, Please! read more

Great pop and food truck option. We ordered all three sandwich tacos and they are decent sized and pretty filling. Didn't get to take pics but they come well seasoned and for $7 each I can see why the price is justifiable. If I had to rank in order of preference I would say the chicken, beef then pork in that order. They take both cash and card and have sanitizer for when you are done. Our order didn't take too long and came out warm read more

We saw a post on IG that Street Steam Bunz was going to be in Oakley and these sweet little bao buns literally called out to us to come and try some! So we did as we were told, and ooooooh was it worth it! We got there a little after they opened so there was almost no line, which was great because it got busy real quick as we waited for our food. We ordered two pork belly bao and one chicken Katsu bao and a beef bulgogi bowl. The buns were moist and fluffy, the meat was super flavorful, the sauces were out of bounds and the pickled veg and green onion were the "cherry" on top. The beef bulgogi bowl was bomb! Well seasoned, sweet and tender. The fried rice was great and the pickled veggies were an excellent way to top it off. Really glad we finally checked this food truck out. We definitely recommend them if they happen to be in your neck of the woods. read more

I really love this food truck. Anytime I see that it's in Martinez or near by I try and swing by to place an order. The bulgogi bao is my absolute favorite with the crunch from the cucumber and the tang from the ginger. I LOVE ginger so I wish there was a bit more but other than that, I love this food truck. People say it's expensive but everything is these days plus they have to pay for gas and the expensive meat which is really good. Try this place out if you haven't! read more
