    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Coconut curry chicken with noodles

    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!!!

    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

    After work Easter dinner. We finally dined in here…read more Really good BBQ spot. Glad we came here. Everything looked so yummy when it came. Good flavors from everything. My favorite was the mac & cheese and brussels sprouts. The meats were so tender! Although, I tried a piece of pork link, for some reason, I didn't like it. It seemed too grainy. The ambience was chill, and they have full bar. Nice and spacious. My only complaint is that I was trying to order & the phone rings & the host took the call. What I learned in customer service in my 20 years +, you attend to the customer in front of you first. Phone calls can wait. When she got off the phone, other workers came over and they started talking about what's next in their schedule. Still, I'm over here, waiting to order the rest of the stuff. That what the unprofessional part of things.. Glad we still came here to try. It still earned a star to come back!

    Ambiance - 5/5 Walking in I didn't have much expectation…read more But as I step foot into the place. I was fascinated but the wall art. The street art vibe with the cartoon style character. Super awesome. The kitchen is wide open. Everything was super clean and well put together. Service - 5/5 Great recommendations from the staff. The house slaw and banana pudding were clearly popular choices, and they definitely knew what they were doing when guiding the order. I told them it's my first time. These were what they recommended me. One of the staff actually gave a piece of brisket to try. Very nice of them to give a free sample before I order so I know what I'm expecting. Food - 4.5/5 Dish Ordered: Dino Rib, Brisket ( 1/2 lb), House Slaw, Banana Pudding 5/5 Dino Rib Wow. This was the highlight. The meat was unbelievably tender--every single part of it. Usually with ribs, especially the upper portions, you get some toughness or dryness depending on how it's smoked. Not here. This one was melt-in-your-mouth soft, juicy throughout, and you could practically pull it apart effortlessly. The seasoning was perfect--balanced, not too salty, not bland, just right. Every bite hit. 4/5 Brisket ( 1/2 lb) About two slices. Visually, it looked great--nice color, juicy, with a solid fatty portion. But after eating the Dino rib, it felt a bit underwhelming. Still good, just didn't hit as hard flavor-wise. Might be better appreciated on its own next time. 5/5 House Slaw This paired extremely well with the meat. Sweet, tangy, and refreshing. The hint of peanuts adds a nice nutty layer that makes it stand out. It cuts through the richness of the meat perfectly. 5/5 Banana Pudding Not your typical pudding--it's more like a banana cake. The sweetness not too overwhelming, smells amazing, and just hits the spot. A great way to finish the meal. Additional Comments The Dino rib alone makes this place worth it. It sets a very high bar, which honestly makes everything else feel secondary. The best Rib I have ever had in my life so far. Important thing to note is that the rib will be weighed. I don't think you can ask to get the portion you want like you can with the brisket. My Dino rib came out to be 1.6lb. The sides and dessert complement the meal really well and round out the experience. Price is bit is definitely in the higher end but the experience is definitely worth it.

    Son wanted to try so we are here…read more The line was long, the selection limited but the taste was good. There were many big orders, likely for parties. A $300 order can fit nicely into a regular paper grocery bag with room to spare, so make sure your wallet is mentally prepared so it does not go into shock. We had a sandwich. A pound of brisket and some baby back. My advice... unless you really want to suck the gravy off the bones or want to bring gift to your canine friend, don't get anything with bones as everything is by weight and I don't know about you, I can't chew on the bones. After close to $80, I had some meat off the rib and a piece of brisket, and craving some instant noodles ... The place is very transactional and noisy. But that is how it should be with a busy place where majority of orders are to-go.

First of all, my order was TO-GO. And let me tell you... when I got home and opened that bag, I was honestly blown away. My food was packaged with so much care, precision, and pride--it was neat, organized, and handled like it actually mattered. That alone told me everything about the level of service in that building. Candalen--YOU DID THAT. The attention to detail on my plate did not go unnoticed. You treated my food like it was being served in-house, and that speaks volumes about your work ethic and pride in what you do. Aaron--listen... that peach lemon drop??? BABY. That was my first time trying one and it was EVERYTHING. Smooth, flavorful, perfectly balanced--you made that drink an experience all by itself. I will be back JUST for that. And let's talk about the vibe--the music, the energy, the atmosphere--it all came together in a way that made the entire visit feel GOOD. Not just food... a whole experience. But what really stands out is this: It has been a LONG time since I've experienced service this genuine, this intentional, and this excellent. Not rushed, not careless--EXCEPTIONAL. Management, if you are reading this--please understand--you have some powerful people on your team. Candalen and Aaron are the kind of employees that elevate a brand. They are the reason people come back. They are the reason I will be telling others. This wasn't just a good experience. This was the kind of experience that turns customers into loyal supporters. I will absolutely be back--and I will be bringing people with me. Until next time, WUHAPN NATION

The greens were tasty; cornbread was better than some, as it was real cornbread and not corn cake; the yams were whipped and tasted like sweet potato pie filling, but with insufficient sugar, no butter, no nutmeg, & no caramelization. My nephew, who is 15 and has a voracious appetite, wasn't a fan of any of it except the mac & cheese, cause he apparently ate all of it, so I can't comment on that dish. He kept saying the yams had nothing but cinnamon. NONE of the meats seemed to be very well seasoned, not even the links, which was very puzzling. Maybe they make their own links and just don't put in much seasoning. Ribs and links were moist, but lacked flavor. Chicken & brisket were dry, & flavorless. "When all other meats fail, grab a hot link!" Not at this spot. On the upside, sauces were on the side, and the rib flavor did improve when I dunked the ribs in the sauce This could have been one of their off days, but if the food there is like this all the time, maybe their intended market prefers low to no sodium and dried flavorless meats.

It's the kind of place you almost miss if you're not looking for it, but once you find it, you'll keep coming back. The brisket, pulled pork, and spare ribs are consistently excellent. The meat is incredibly tender, it basically melts in your mouth, and that deep, smoky flavor really seeps all the way through, not just on the surface. The sauces come on the side, and they're free, so don't be shy about asking for extra. I actually asked if there was a limit once, and the cashier laughed and said something like, "Maybe six containers?" If I'm being picky, I'd probably skip the hot links next time. They're not bad, just nothing special compared to how strong everything else is, slightly smoky, but otherwise pretty standard. The collard greens are a standout side dish. They've got this nice acidity that cuts through the richness of the meat really well. There is a noticeable vinegar tang, though, so if that's not your thing, you might want to pass, but if you like that balance, they're great. Another big bonus, there's a park right outside the building near the exit by Cashew Creamery. It's perfect if you've got kids. There's this whale structure they can climb into (through the mouth or side), with a slide on top and climbing holds all over -- fins, back, tail, the whole thing. There are also surfboard-style balance boards on springs and plenty of open space and greenery to run around. And if you're making a little outing of it, it's only about a 10-minute walk to Bay Street, so you can easily pair your meal with a stroll, some shopping, or more food and drinks nearby.
