I checked out Bonzai Boyz at the Arizona Bao & Chicken Wing Festival in Peoria. They have great reviews on Yelp so I was excited to check out this Filipino food truck. Since it's a food truck, service and ambiance aren't really part of the experience. So, I will focus on the food. Which, unfortunately, severely underwhelmed. Since this was a chicken wing festival, we went with their wings. They have a special sauce which has dragon in the name that we asked about and we were told wasn't spicy so we tried it out. They ended up being some of the worst wings I've had in a while. The only redeeming quality is that the wings are jumbo-sized which is always a plus. Unfortunately, they were undercooked. You could tell because the wings were oozing water which showed that they hadn't been cooked properly. Beyond that, the sauce wasn't good either. I love Asian sauces but this one didn't have any sweetness to it. It was a weird sauce. I was expecting a lot more from Bonzai Boyz. Maybe I caught them on a bad day.

These are super delicious!

Man these guys make great pot stickers. I honestly can't review anything other than the potstickers. I found this food truck at a dumpling festival and was delighted to find them again at Marina Heights, close to my work. Great food, served promptly. Hit them up when they're near you!

Shrimp and pork belly bun at the az dumpling festival

Found them at the Az dumpling festival and ended up stopping by twice! They are friendly and efficient and the food is delicious!

Bao Buns. Korean Fried Chicken (left) and Braised Pork Belly (right).

I got two bao buns. One Korean fried chicken and the other braised pork belly. It was not good, the bun itself was dry not moist and soft. Look at the photo and see the cracks. I think the buns were left out which caused them to dry out. The braised pork was a major let down as it has no flavor, you can tell by the color of it. The crispy chicken was barely crispy and again no flavor.

Teriyaki chicken bento

Back at the office this week and needed something quick to eat. This food truck was outside our lobby so I gave it a shot. Really nice owner, answered my few questions and offered a couple suggestions. I went with the Teriyaki Chicken Bento. It was ok...the teriyaki sauce was really good and had a good kick to it. The portion was on the above average size which was nice. The chicken was a little on the chewy side, so next time I'd opt for a different protein.

Ordered their KFC plate $12 for a medium rice bowl, kfc in spicy mayo based sauce, poached egg and Kim chee. Great value considering they were at the bao festival in Peoria and an ube bao was going for $5 a pop. Chicken was crispy light and flavorful. Kim chee cold and spicy, egg cooked to perfection. I'd definitely purchase again.

24 carat gold crab bao & braised pork belly bao
Rebekah D.

This food truck was at the Bao & Dumpling Festival. The line moved pretty quickly. They were nice. I ordered the 24 carat gold crab bao. The steamed bun was soft, a perfect little wrap for the delicious fried crab. All of the flavors complimented each other. Obvi the gold is for a little "razzle dazzle" but I do not care. It wasn't overly greasy or salty. 10/10 definitely would eat this again. At $12 it was a touch pricey for a single bao, but omgggg. It was amazing. The other bao that I got was the braised pork belly. This one was juicier, so it was a bit messier. Flavors were still on point. Steamed bun was perfect and I definitely love jalapeños with braised pork belly. So good. Between the 2 of them though, the crab bao was definitely the better one. Related but unrelated- this makes some bomb picnic food. So if you wanna be on a cute date and have something delicious, it's not too messy, super delish and it seems fitting to eat on a picnic blanket when it's like 75 degrees with a light breeze. Do something better than charcuterie and wine. Get some Bonzai Boyz.

Pork belly and Korean fried chicken buns
Erin D.

Tried this food truck for the first time at the Arizona Bao and Dumplings festival and it was amazing. They had mini buns as a festival specialty and I thought I was eating at a fancy restaurant! The Korean fried chicken and kimchi one was my favorite. Bursting with flavor and traditional kimchi. The pork belly bun was a close second with a little jalapeño for heat and lots of good flavors. And they looked so perfect like they were right out of a Food Network show. Any time so see this truck, it will be a must-eat for me.

Attended the AZ Asian Fried Chicken Festival yesterday which Bonzai Boyz was one of the food vendors. Their food looked better than any of the other trucks so we decided to give them a try. Waited in line for a couple minutes which gave us time to explore the menu. We ended up trying the Korean Fried Chicken Rice Bowl and had to try all 3 varieties of Bao Buns on the side. The food was really good all around. If you have the chance to eat here, the Chicken Kimchi Bao Bun was the best of the three we ordered, but both the Fried Shrimp and Pork Belly ones were also delicious as well.

Fried rice with crispy chicken
Mark C.

This is a food truck that sells wings, fried rice, and bentos. I decided to try out their fried rice with crispy chicken. This cost me $13.03. It was a good amount of food and it was nice and hot when served. However, nothing about it felt extraordinary or bad. It was a passable meal.

Noah S.

Any time I see this food truck it's an immediate get out and get some. I love their bao, each of them has a unique flavor. The portion size isn't the biggest, but the variety of flavors is worth it. The soft shell crab bao is my favorite, the crisp texture of the crab really shines.

Korean Fried Chicken Bento Box
Vanessa H.

I first tried this awesome food truck on recommendation from a friend several years ago. They came to the Gilbert food truck event every Friday. I had the pork belly bao buns and they were AMAZING! Such great flavor and so creative to use bao buns as a "taco". They are so well balanced and delicious. I just had their food again tonight. I got the fried rice with grilled chicken and my boyfriend got the Korean fried chicken bento box. We also got an order of crunchy rolls that comes with a sweet and sour sauce. All of the food was piping hot and had great flavor! The fried rice was a good portion with lots of chicken -- I have leftovers! The Korean fried chicken was tasty and the breading had a great consistency. The rolls were delicious although I would have liked a little more veggies in them. Great food! Can't wait to try more items on their menu.

The Truck Service Side

My family has enjoyed this truck, at least a dozen times in various locations. Next party we have, I'll probably reach out for a quote for catering. Depending on where the truck is parked will depend on the ambiance... So plan accordingly since it's the summer. Thank you Bonzai Boyz for your top notch service & yummy cuisine.

I almost went with the Classic, but saw someone with a BBQ Brisket potato and instantly changed my mind. When I took it back into the office and opened it up, at least 5 of my co workers came over to tell me how good it smelled. The brisket portion is generous and tender - and the cheese, sour cream, and green onions are the perfect classic compliment. It was swimming in melted butter, which might be a negative for some. But not for me! I was tempted to give 4 stars because a $10 potato is still pricey, no matter how delicious, but the girls on the truck were awesome and service was quick. I will definitely order again.

(Motivational pep talks obviously aren't my strong point). Literally, my dream come true on wheels. My friends and family joke that in my last life I lived through the potato famine which is why I'm so obsessed with this starch and I really can't argue with that. If you're a fan of the baked potatoes from Jason's Deli (shoutout to the Plain Jane) you'll love these. The potato itself is pretty hefty - it's not like the usual sizes you get as a side dish and the pictures on here make it look pretty tiny as well. In person, these taters mean business, especially with all the toppings they add to make it as tall as your face. This is definitely something you hold tenderly and safely with both hands according to OSHA standards. I got the Original combined with the Cheese and Broccoli because the broccoli totally offsets everything else calorie-wise. The potato isn't dry or hard, but soft like you're cutting into a fresh warm pancake with your fork. When you look down at your place, your tater is bathing in a warm bed of melted butter. It's so perfect, so beautiful ... GET IN MAH BELLY. If you're not a cheese wiz fan, I recommend you don't get anything that has the melted cheese - just ask for the shredded. I've been known to eat an ungodly amount of potatoes in one sitting but I hit a brick wall 3/4 into this with all the toppings on it. I highly recommend the Brisket baked potato if you like a spices (not spicy) in your food. Great price point, totally recommend if you ever see them!

Yeowch! At least I burned off my food while trying to balance? Anywho, this place is located right across from Barrio Queen. At 6PM in November, the Barrio Queen actually looks like true royalty with her bright neon sign lighting the way to hungry patrons looking for a bite to eat. There were 10+ trucks this particular Friday night, lots of people were in attendance to dine, and seating was a headache. We managed to snag a table right next to The Maine Lobster Lady's food truck at the last second. I wish I had known about this luck because I would have ordered the bisque! Oh well. Maybe next time. Anyways, Gilbert Food Truck Food Court has a rotating guests of food trucks weekly so make sure you check to see if your fave truck is in attendance on their respective social medias.

My wife and I love to cook and have prepared some outstanding meals at home over our 40 years together. We have extensively traveled and lived throughout the world and as such developed pallets for superb cuisine from all over. As we grew older we gleaned the best of what we enjoy and developed them into our own cooking skills. My wife being Korean born refined her cooking skills in the eastern cuisine like Korean, Japanese, Thailand, and others while I have refined my skills with French and Italian. Prescott is a beautiful place to live but its culinary basis is built on sawdust. We usually cook for ourselves if we want a top notch meal. Now the past several years I have been confined to a wheelchair and transport is very limited. We used to spend winters in Hawaii where we could get great quality meals and seafood whether we prepared them or went out. So our 40th! I wanted to do something special for my wife since I have not been living up to my end of our culinary relationship being confined to a wheelchair. Thus I started seeking out a Chef that would come to our home with his staff and prepare a custom made meal for us. I selected Chef Thomas and Copper State Kitchen. I started by a rather lengthy discussion via phone and followed up with sending Chef Thomas some of our favorite recipes, sufficient for him to develop a five-course meal for us. Chef Thomas is very professional and easy to work with. We refined the meal over the next two days we agreed on the following proposed menu; I supplied the wines. Amuse-Bouche * Fig Jam, Blue Cheese, Red Wine Poached Pear & Arugula Crostini Starter * Prime Rib Poke with sesame crunch and microgreens and pipkuala aioli (based on my deconstruction of the infamous Tiki Bar in Waikiki dish) Pasta Course * Lobster Tagliatelle in a Champagne Cream Sauce Main Course * Beef Wellington with foie gras and red wine demi-glace Dessert * Crème Brûlée (torched table-side) Wine Pairings * Santa Margarita Prosecco DOCG * Domaine Salmon Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc * Tenuta de Sesta Brunello di Montalcino 1996 * Chateau Rieussec 1st Grand Cru Classe 1863 Sauternes 2004 Every course was perfect and very enjoyable. And they cleaned the kitchen meeting my wife's expectations. I highly recommend Copper State Kitchen for your personal culinary experience to celebrate your special occasions.
