    At Levi's Plaza
    Joan W.

    The Borscht Mobile was at Outside Lands this year which I ate at often since it was the only food that wasn't outrageously overpriced. I really like borscht, it's a good filling meal that is healthy. I usually just stick to that here, but they do have a few other offerings like dumplings, pirozhki, and a burrito with buckwheat and potatoes. I didn't like the burrito so much though the aioli was good. I've had buckwheat before and thought it was decent, but I didn't like the taste in a burrito. I think some people might enjoy it if they are into fusion food and it seems healthier. They used to be at Spark Social a lot in Mission Bay before Covid but now it looks like they are mainly at the new park at the Presidio as well as Levi's Plaza.

    The Ukrainian food at Borsch was delicious. The chicken dumplings with onions and bacon was yummy. I will discover more of the menu at Borsch in the near future.

    I had heard about this food truck for awhile now and was very excited to try. We were unfortunately left very disappointed. They were at Tunnel Tops Park in SF along with several other food trucks. We ordered: 1) Chicken dumplings which came topped with sour cream & green onions. (This came in a small portion size for $13 which was probably more like appetizer sized than a meal. It also was slightly mushy and not very flavorful. Trader Joe use to sell a frozen pelmeni entree which tasted just as good at half the price and double the portion size. Hmm..) 2) - Pirozhki Baked buns (potato & mushroom filling) (The filling was predominantly potato and it was very dry. Some sauce might have helped or even more mushrooms.) 3) Beef brisket sandwich (This looked good, but unfortunately, the beef brisket was not seasoned so it was flavorless and the meat was also dry. Luckily, there was slaw included or the entire sandwich would have been very dry.) Disappointed that this did not live up to the hype.

    Situation - Lunch - I ordered the Pork Sandwich Pros - The sandwich was decent, not all that great - They provided a small piece of chocolate, such was good - Good portion size Cons / Overall - The food was okay - It maybe worth another try

    It was my first time trying borsch! I had no idea it was going to be SO pink!!! It was pretty yummy. Not something I would get often but definitely nice to try. Don't wear anything white while trying to eat it lol. Flavor wise- Not as sweet as I thought it was going to be. With the sour cream it became a sweet savory type of soup and I quite liked it. I also got chicken pellmini dumplings and it came with mushrooms, bacon, green onions, all on top of the white sauce. It was pretty good! Like pasta but the dumplings were more filling. I also got a mushroom piroshky and it was yummy. The owner was really nice and gave me a russian candy with my order. It was like a chocolate wafer thing. Also very yummy! :))) I really enjoyed the food from this food truck. And it was really nice to see this Russian food in the mix for some of the recent Off the Grid events in Foster city. They also have a really nice eye catching design on their truck.

    Tarragon soda. I got it for the color.

    I'm always willing to try food from anywhere, especially one of the old countries, but I just felt this truck was okay. I was the Foodeaze truck court on second and while I had heard Borsch Mobile, I had never tried it. I like Pelmeni, so figured I'd give it a shot over some of my regulars. What probably caught my eye the most was the neon green tarragon soda. I mean, for curiosities sake, you have to give it a shot. It was okay, definitely tasted like carbonated tarragon. I did enjoy pulling out the Google Translate on the bottle. As for the Pelmeni, I fear they put way too much sour cream on it. The dumplings were good, but next time I'd ask for the sour cream on the side. The potatoes were fine, they're potatoes. Same with the cabbage slaw. Yeah, nothing really blew me away. Not saying I wouldn't give this truck another try, but would try something different, and do definitely recommend giving it a try. It is different, nice people. Maybe Korean burritos and Hawaiian plates have spoiled me.

    Eastern European food is a bit underrepresented in San Francisco, definitely so in the food truck community. With popular trend of making every fusion permutation possible with a taco or burrito, it's nice to see some classics being served. Overall, pretty hearty food for the portion size. Borsch: Had to try the eponymous dish. It was perfect for a chilly (by San Francisco standards) lunch outside. It was a tad chunkier than borsch I'm used to, but I liked it. The veggies were mostly matchstick sized, so it wasn't overwhelming. Only gripe was that they were skimpy on the sour cream. Siberian Pelmeni: I'm more of a pierogi guy, but the pelmeni is growing on me. It's got the meaty density of a Chinese dumpling, but with spices that are distinctly Eastern European. That would be dill and a whole lot of sour cream. Very rich, also another great lunch option on a chilly-ish day. Mixed Berries Mors: Not quite fruit juice. More like chilled fruit broth or tea. The boiling of fruit and sugar infuses a very deep taste, that isn't found just mixing juice, water and sugar together cold.

    Mediocre Eastern European food. We tried the stuffed bell pepper combination plate ($13) and chose the salad and sour cabbage as our 2 sides. The sides were decent, but the stuffed pepper was just layers of nondescript mush. My boyfriend's mom makes these amazing stuffed peppers so these paled in comparison and we did not finish all of it. Came with a free piece chocolate with little bears! Tastes like a Kit Kat!

    Russian restaurants are quite rare, but a Russian Food Truck? That's an anomaly. This is probably the most refreshing food truck experience I've had in a while. You know what to expect on the menu for most food trucks, gimmicky fusion cuisine with your choice of meat on top of fries, rice, or wrapped in a tortilla. We've seen it all before. Borsch has no gimmicks of that sort. Just delicious food that won't weigh you down and make you regret having it on a workday. I had the Beef Tongue Sandwich with roasted potatoes and a salad on the side. Fresh ciabatta, holding beef tongue that proves again why it's probably the best cut to put in a sandwich. The potatoes are done the right way beside a salad that's not just dressed up lettuce. A piece of chocolate given to you as a token of their generosity. How could you not want to come back again?

    When I saw a Russian food truck near me, I just had to check it out. I'm exceedingly glad that I did. I ordered the beef stroganoff, which comes with Russian-style slaw and sliced pickles. Served over buckwheat, the stroganoff was excellent: great flavor and texture, and a perfect portion for me. The buckwheat was a nice change from noodles and added to the aforementioned texture without weighing the already hearty dish down. The slaw and the pickles each provided a nice palate-cleansing counterpoint between bites. The slaw was made of crunchy cabbage accentuated with some carrots, tossed in a light dressing with a hint of black pepper. Whereas some slaw can be overwhelmed with vinegar, this was subtle and begged to be tasted again. The pickles were fantastic: sour, but not too sour, and almost spicy, yet not. They packed a solid punch and were everything I have ever wanted a dill pickle to be. The Russian candy was a nice touch, as well. I can't wait until they are near me again and I can try more of their cooking.

    I think about 3 of these stars are just for being Eastern European food honestly, you don't see that a lot. The pelmeni was great! The sour cream coating made it perfect and it was nice to have the sides. The borsch was alright, but i think maybe it's just not my taste. I agree with another reviewer that they really could give you more sour cream for it. Service was quick and friendly. Note: their menu was different than the one online. Was looking forward to the salo mini sandwiches but no joy.

    SPARK Social SF is one of those places we end up at again and again, usually without overplanning…read moreit. It just works. Open air, a mix of food trucks, people hanging out, dogs everywhere, and that easy San Francisco energy where you can show up however you are and it fits. It never feels like a production, just a good place to land. We have eaten our way through a decent chunk of the trucks at this point, and that is half the fun. One day it is something messy and indulgent, the next it is lighter, but it always hits. Grabbing a drink, finding a spot at the picnic tables, and slowly settling in as the place fills up is kind of the rhythm. It is social without being overwhelming, lively without being chaotic. What keeps us coming back is how consistent it feels in the best way. It is easy, flexible, and always a good time whether you stay for an hour or lose an entire afternoon there. It is the kind of spot that turns into a routine before you even realize it, and honestly, we are not mad about it.

    Spark Social is a great place to host an event. Big ones (company-sponsored), small ones (a group…read moreof friends huddling at a table), really any of them, because they have a couple different set ups that are open for reservations, but they can also accommodate walk-ins with the abundance of seating. Beyond that, the food and drinks are all food truck based. They are all quite good, and there's a wide variety of items. This also means a good variety for folks with different dietary needs, because they are mostly picking their own food. I have always enjoyed my time here, whether it's on company dime or if I'm just hanging out with friends. I do wish that there are more heaters around for the colder days but that's just life in the bay! It can be kind of cold and foggy all seasons here, so if you have a solid group of folks I'd recommend reserving a spot with a fire pit. One more note: parking can be tough. You either have to circle around for street parking, or rideshare here.

I am divorced), I was starving. I drove around San Francisco for awhile but every time I passed a restaurant I break down crying because it reminds me of my first date with my now ex wife. However, when I arrived at Aunty Vickys my entire mood changed. I was practically jumping for joy whilst waiting for my food. When I finally got my pulled pork combo I ate it an said verbally "Oh my golly this is good" before spinning on my head, just kidding I did not spin on my head, I dont know how haha! Trust me though, if I did I would have my man. But oh man the pork like oh my just oh yeah it was oh yeah so good man it was just so good. Im sorry I just loved it so much. Some people call me too positive but Vicky was even more positive. She told me not to think about my ex wife anymore because I have the future ahead of me, then I told her about my finances, and after assuring her I could still pay she walked away. The man in front of me ordered the shrimp and chicken combo, and when he put it on the table for a moment before walking away a piece of chicken fell off. I picked it up and ate it and wow, just wow, so good. I literally called my Mexican friend Angel and told him about this, it was diabolical. I will return to this location and order myself a full chicken shrimp combo. Im just so ready my man.
