Crab rangoons, combination fried rice, orange chicken, lo mein, triple crown with white rice.

Good food conveniently off of 290 and good flavor. If you don't like spicy, ask for no peppers prior to ordering.

Buzzer

This food truck sits nestled in a courtyard with three other food trucks which all share a large covered space with five picnic tables. The other three trucks are Mexican, burgers, and Indo-Pak cuisine. They do have a gravel lot for parking which holds about dozen cars. There is a menu on the side of the Chinese food truck, but all the prices are missing, however they do have a physical menu that they will hand you. After you order, they will hand you a buzzer letting you know when your order is ready. When you pay by credit card, they will hand you the handheld device which will suggest a tip. From the time we placed our order until we received it was 12 minutes. I might suggest you bring your own water because the drinks here are expensive. To be honest, after I ordered and paid for the food I forgot to order any drinks, so I went to the truck next to theirs and spent $7 for one soda and a small bottle of water. We ordered the chicken fried rice and beef with broccoli and an egg roll (gotta admit that egg roll was great). We decided to dine under the enclosure, but had to continually ward off the flies and keep an eye on the ever present grackle. I would suggest getting it to go unless you like to eat out of a styrofoam container with a plastic fork while fending off the unforgiving flies. I enjoyed my beef and broccoli, it was perfectly cooked with the broccoli being al dente. It was good and filling, being generous in size, but I've had better. My friend had the chicken fried rice which he considered subpar due to the chicken looking and tasting as though it came out of a can. Best to avoid that dish. If I lived down the street, I'd give this place another chance, but I'd make it to go. Plenty of photos included for more insight.

Combination Fried Rice

Tried the Combination Fried Rice and Cream Cheeses Wontons (not pictured). Taste was amazing and by far better than other Chinese food I've tried in the area. Thought it was pricey, but the portion size made it worth it.

So good and they're so quick. The kids chicken fried rice is enough to have as 2 meals. Love the food and service!

Kung Pao Beef
Sam C.

I've had Kung Pao beef from Bamboo Express twice now, and both times the food was excellent. I got a little obsessed recently with eating Kung Pao, which should be spicy, savory, and crunchy, and I have been somewhat disappointed with the various versions I've been having from other restaurants all over Austin. The Bamboo Express version is heavily seasoned, thickly sauced, and comes out piping hot. Lots of small, crunchy veggies; tons of peanuts, lots of tender beef, and everything was very fresh. The order has been fast both times. Lunch and dinner prices are reasonable. I got lunch the first time, and dinner this time. The only thing I can't tell is whether there's much of a difference between the lunch and dinner. It's one carton, with the entree on the big side and the rice in the two pocket side. Lunch and dinner were both like that. Maybe the dinner portion has more main dish? Hard to tell because I thought the lunch was generous, and the dinner portion was definitely big. Can't remember the lunch price, but it came with an egg roll, is cheaper than dinner, and was equally good. Dinner portion was $14 after tax, and for a food truck I think that's a decent price for a heaping carton of really well made food. I was thinking dinner would be two separate containers, one rice, one main entree, but either way I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with the food or the amount. One note. The pricing is wrong somewhere. It's maybe 50 cents or a dollar more than what's listed, after tax? That needs to be updated.

Opened my soup and saw a baby roach. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE! Had to throw out the entire order and was refunded!

Tawakkul Bites - Chicken Shawarma over rice

He was super kind and attentive, even when just taking my order. On a Friday night, it took 20ish minutes for our order to be ready for pick-up! The space where the food truck is located is pretty open, plenty of parking spots. There's currently only one other food truck there and they have a pretty big outdoor seating area, good for big and small groups. I ordered the "Beef Shawarma Rice Bowl" -- contained beef, rice, banana peppers, pickles, cucumbers, onions and was topped with 3 different sauces. The beef was so tender, soft and flavorful and the veggies provided the freshness and acidity that made everything taste so balanced, all on a big bed of rice. There was definitely more rice than meat, but when mixing everything together you don't notice and again, the beef was delicious. To drink I had fresh lemonade with lavender in it, per the owner's suggestion--it's GOOD. Overall a great experience and loved the food and service. I only regret not finding or checking out this truck sooner. I will definitely be back!

My second visit to this wonderful food truck. If you like Halal food, you will really enjoy the…read morefood here. Asked Google what is Tawakkul? Here is their reply; "Tawakkul (تَوَكُّل) is an Arabic Islamic concept that translates to "trust in Allah" or "reliance on Allah". It involves doing everything within your power to achieve a goal (taking actionable steps) and then placing your complete trust in the Divine Plan for the outcome." "...By practicing tawakkul, individuals surrender their worries and fears about the future. It brings inner peace, as a person acknowledges their human limitations and accepts that whatever outcome happens is ultimately part of a greater, Divine wisdom." What an incredible understanding of letting go and letting god/a higher power take care of you and releasing those stresses of your life. Coming here not to get religion, but ordering really good food and believe that you are being taken care of. This man serving you is just thankful to share his generosity. I have enjoyed just showing up and being served his epic dish. When you arrive it's a cute park like setting clean picnic tables and benches while you wait for food. There are a reasonable amount of parking spaces so you don't have to worry where to park. You can stay and eat or takeout. It's really at your discretion. Either way you'll be back.

My wife and I came on a Friday evening, around 6 PM or so. We found this truck while visiting…read moreanother truck right across from it one day--we told ourselves we would be back for a burger the next time we were in the area. We're so glad we gave it a try! Buns on the Run ATX is among 3-4 other food trucks at its location--it might not be preferable to eat outside with this heat, but know that this spot does have a covered seating area with a good amount of benches to sit in and enjoy your meal. We were greeted by a very nice woman inside who took our order. I went basic this time around and ordered a Cheeseburger with a side of fries. The seasoning on both was perfect and the patty was SOOOO soft and juicy. The buns used were airy and soft as well. Ugh. It was just delicious, I regretted not getting the double patty. Not sure what their sauce includes and I don't want to guess and be super wrong, but it did contribute to the overall taste of the burger. The fries had a seasoning that also gave them great flavor, they were right in the perfect middle between crisp and soft, which I personally like! Skip the fast food and make your way here and enjoy something local and fresh!! Definitely will be back!!

They were grilled? The patties were packed with flavor and juicy. It surpassed my expectations and I'll come back and get this one again! Honestly, I haven't had a really good burger in Manor and so glad that it's down the street. Highly recommend if you want an authentic-home made vibes burger.
