Had the Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken over rice. Very well marinated grilled chicken. Most of the flavor is sweet with a slight hint of lemongrass. Rice has a lot of sauce from the meat. Also had a small side of salad with delish dressing.

Looks decent, but is actually terrible.  Chicken is so crazy dry, sauce was so salty.

Rare that I give 1 star to a place, but this was truly awful. If this was at a restaurant, I would have sent it back. I had the Korean bbq chicken, which came out to $23. Its noted as "Most Popular"...but it was probably the most overcooked chicken I have ever eaten. No joke, the chicken was so dry and chewy. Usually when people say "it was like jerky!" there is some hyperbole to it, but this literally resembled jerky. Several pieces I just could not chew. The grill marks tasted like burnt rubber. The sauce was awful too. It was sooo salty and overpowering, and it was drenched in it. The garlic noodles might have been decent, I don't know. All I could taste was the incredibly salty sauce on it. The best thing on the plate was the salad. The only positive was that it was quick, as there was zero line. Other trucks had lines of 5-20 people, this one had zero line (which is a reason I picked it). By the time I finished giving my money, my food was ready to go. Honestly, most food trucks are so overrated and overpriced. Years ago they may have been a convenient meal on the go, but now its become a trendy foodie thing. But $23 for salty rubber chicken...I think I might be done with food trucks (besides Golden Gate Gyro, their food is great).

Teriyaki Chicken with Rice and Noodles
Ronald N.

I first discovered Bombzies BBQ at an Off The Grid market a few years ago before COVID-19 hit. Their food is amazing. A big proportion with rice and noodles. The service at Bombzies is amazing! They help you decide what to order. They'll help you decide which food is their best selling. Their truck is presentable. The menu is detail on what is in the food. Recently when I had Bombzies at a Taste of the World market I had the Teriyaki Chicken with half rice and half noodles. It was a good proportion of chicken with half rice and half noodles. I was able to share my food with my mom. She loved the taste of the chicken. If you see Bombzies in the Bay Area I suggest having them for lunch and dinner.

Food truck came to our work for an event last week. We each got to pick one entree. I chose the lemongrass chicken. Food came out really fast. Food was decent but not somewhere I'd crave. I hardly tasted lemongrass. It was either very light or maybe they gave me the wrong entree. It's a well balanced meal for on the go. The curry option looked more promising.

Tried the BBQ rice bowl with garlic noodles and chicken -- super fresh and full of flavor. Highly recommend!

I had the BBQ rice bowl with garlic noodles and grilled chicken. Super tasty, fresh, and filling! Great service and awesome flavors. Definitely recommend trying it!

Coconut curry chicken with noodles
Jose Manuel C.

Showed up to off the grid and this place happed to be around. I got in line, ordered the coconut curry chicken, you have the option to order it with rice or with noodles. Staff is cool and efficient, most of the food is pre cooked in a warming chamber, so the dish was given almost immediately. They also offer rangoons and wings as sides. I would recommend yes or yes.

Had this food for the 1st time today, they came by my work (Sutter Health). The food is AMAZING! My picky 9 year old son who doesn't like to try anything new tried the bbq chicken & garlic noodles & enjoyed it so much he was angry I don't bring more hm!!!

Chicken teriyaki over garlic noodles

Seriously delicious. We had Bombzies at our outdoor concert and the food was super fresh, fast and such kind service. I got the teriyaki chicken & garlic noodles with kimchi - so good!

The truck

I've been a Bombzies patron for a few years now and I am generally delighted to see their truck arrive in our business park. I typically go for the Korean BBQ Rice Bowl but the real money-maker is the potsticker side plate. These are some of my FAVORITE potstickers anywhere (the secret is in their crunch). The service here is great; they'll have your food out to you before you're done paying (with the exception of my beloved potstickers because those bad boys have to fry). Give them a try!

Korean bbq bowl is a must. The chicken is so tender and flavorful, the kimchi gives the bowl an amazing touch.
Gloria M.

I normally go to the picnic at the presidio on Sundays to get my Bombzies fix I love the Korean chicken bowl with extra kimchi The chicken is delicious, cooked just right. I wish they had a restaurant, I know I would be there all the time

Went in with zero expectations and left planning my next visit…read more Stopped by Tacos Mi Rancho near Lake Merritt and honestly didn't know what to expect. From the outside, it looks like a straightforward taco truck, but wow was I surprised. I ordered the Carnitas Super Taco, which came loaded with lettuce, cheese, cilantro, onions, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. My only complaint? You only get one taco per order because I definitely could've eaten another. The Kid ordered the Carne Asada Super Taco and before we even pulled away, she was asking for a second one. That's usually a pretty good sign. We also tried the horchata and jamaica, and both were delicious. The horchata was creamy and flavorful, while the jamaica was refreshing and not overly sweet. What surprised me most was how quickly they got the food out, especially considering how popular this spot seems to be. A few things to know: * Cash or Venmo only * Parking can be a challenge, but it's worth it * Keep an eye out for the new speed cameras in the area Their hours are another plus: Open daily, 9:30am- midnight Overall, this was one of those pleasant surprises that reminds you not to judge a place by appearances. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

Our food came out pretty fast. Before our drinks did, surprisingly. :) The food was good. Nothing extraordinary, but honestly, about what you'd expect from a bar/cantina, maybe even a little above average. Solid food to have while you're hanging out and having drinks. The drinks were the highlight for us. Plenty of choices and a great variety on the menu. I ordered the Paloma, which was good! Refreshing, not overly sweet, and a solid drink overall. I'd recommend Xingones as a cool hangout spot. It's a solid place to go for a good happy hour after a regular day of work, grabbing drinks and food with friends, or hanging out with coworkers. The open space and atmosphere make it easy to sit around and hangout for a while. Plus, there's plenty of parking, which is always a win! Would come back, especially for drinks and happy hour.

There's a great variety of food trucks lined up in front of the Oakland museum. I'm always partial to the Southern Comfort restaurant. I've had their po'boys, shrimp, and heavenly seasoned fries. But I also love when Señor Sisig and anything that sells ice cream make an appearance. Customer service is always awesome and as fast as they can with the amount of people that show up. Highly recommend going to this weekly event at least once!

I got over my fear when Shakeel, the Market Ambassador at that time convince me to come. Even the other Market Ambassador Elon kept me company making sure I was OK at the market. I will admit every Friday Night I am at Off the Grid outside the Oakland Museum of California. I will admit I overdid it by checking out the exhibits at the museum weekly where I made a friend Preston, the Emcee at the Oakland Museum of California. Over 10 different food trucks to chose from. The highest food trucks they had at the market was up to 20 during the summer time. It is worth coming down to Oakland Museum to see all the different food trucks they have. I will admit I miss the past Market supervisor that ran the market (Adam, Alex, Paul, Henley, whomever ran the market that I can not remember their names). Ben, the current supervisor got this market running smoothly. I been enjoying the market. What makes this market to go to on Friday Night compared to going to Fort Mason is discount on museum tickets. You have a museum to go to while getting food from the food trucks. They also have a garden where children can run around in. The live music at the Oakland Museum of California is amazing. It is worth checking it out. This is the market to check out Friday Night.

This place is fire!!! Yes the wait is super long (I waited closer to 30min and they told me…read more15-20min) but if you can't wait that long for good ass food then gtfo of the line. I got the garlic shrimp and noodles and it's so good. It comes with a sauce on the side that is amazing. The portions for $17 are also insane. The plate is huge and could last you at least two meals. Don't come here if you can't do the long wait for amazing food. The people running this are nice but there are only 3 of them serving everyone so be patient and you will be rewarded with the best plate of food you've had in a while.

Beef skewers 3.8/5, good but nothing to brag home about or drive out the way for. Garlic noodles 2/5, overcooked soggy noodles w/ fake butter and garlic, not worth the calories or carb consumption. Shrimp 3.5/5, hot and crispy, crack sauce was mid. Needed more lime. 2 bites and was done. Gave it to a homeless person nearby. Service - Friendly. Wait time was 25-30 min. They need to revamp their menu/food photos. Pretty bad quality and size. If you park on the side road, they will bring it to your car. Not sure why the wait is long, the only thing piping hot was the shrimp. Everything else was just warm. Ambiance - Mural was beautiful. VERY DIRTY picnic table and benches, loud music, and across the street from the bart station. I had high hopes for this place especially it being family owned, but the influencers must be getting free food or something to hype this up because this was not it. There's so many better options in Oak. Sorry won't be back.
