Excellent & authentic Korean food from this local food truck, which collaborates with another Korean food truck at a brick & mortar spot in Durham. Ordering in advance online is the way to go, food ready right on time and piping hot. The menu is straightforward with around 9 choices. I tried the All About Bo. This is a sampler of sorts. I opted for beef mandu and beef bulgogi. Mandu are fried dumplings. In retrospect I should have ordered mine with the spicy pork. The beef were delicious, but sort of bland. Luckily there's a dipping sauce to punch them up. The bulgogi is outstanding. Thin cut ribeye is marinated in savory sauce and then grilled. It's super tender and sweet. At Bo's the bulgogi is served over a bed of rice & mixed greens. Sort of a take on bibimbap; a very tasty combo. Others tried the spicy pork & spicy chicken bulgogi options, agreement around the table is that the beef bulgogi is the winner...but it's a close race. Be on the lookout for this truck... Good food! read more

There was a Truck or Treats event on our work campus yesterday. About 12 trucks came and Bo's was one of them. The tofu dish was great and the sauce was spectacular! It had a really nice flavor that complimented the dish. Would definitely recommend! read more

Heard good things about this truck but was definitely overhyped. Wait time and quality we're disappointed. Nothing more than a few pieces of meat on rice with wilted greens. Hard pass for me! read more

Sorely disappointed. I sought them out at the Duke Farmer's Market today. I ordered the spicy pork mandu. I love good dumplings, but these were way overfried, hard and dark brown. read more

Ethnic eats are always one of my favorites and Bo's Kitchen does an EXCELLENT job with Korean food! I finally tracked down Bo's truck over in Mordecai. They park at Pilot Point office complex from time to time and I had never been there before. Their truck is super spiffy and nice, I order up some bulkogi and spicy pork mandu since it's my first visit and who knows when I'll get back. Bo leans out the the truck window and offers up some complimentary Sac grape soda, cool! Super refreshing, they actually can it with some grapes inside. 10 minutes later my food comes out and it's all awesome. A large heaping portion of tender beef bulkogi over rice and with some scrambled egg. The mandu are folded dumplings and fried perfectly, excellent. What an impressive meal, it felt like some Korean home-cooking to me. My only thought was that a touch more spicing and flavoring would have benefited the food but it was still darn good. So glad to finally meet you, Bo! And looking forward to visit #2... read more

Bo's Kitchen is definitely one of my favorite food trucks around the area. I sometimes find myself craving their food so I have to track them down! Plus, Bo is a friendly guy! I usually order the Beef or Spicy Pork Mandu which are amazing Korean dumplings but today I decided to branch out and ordered the Spicy Pork with Rice. A generous portion of spicy pork over rice with a scrambled egg for only $10, it was so tasty! Next time I will be trying the Bulgogi. What a delicious Korean food truck, a must try! read more

Ive had alot of korean BBQ and these guys make some great stuff. Hopefully they will carry some galbi on the menu soon too maybe to combo with the bowls! read more

Bo's Kitchen - Spicy Pork and Rice, so good. - Food Trucks Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Tried their food truck yesterday and food was great!!! I had to order another plate since my kids loved it so much. The bulgogi is always my favorite! Wait time is a bit of an issue but I guess expected when it's a food truck and has to be cooked fresh. Customer service was great! Food portion was good too. read more

There were some things I really liked about Bo's Kitchen. First of all the service was quick and efficient. I ordered over my app and it worked out well. I ordered bulgogi, Mandu, and Kim chi. The bulgogi meat was pretty good but I did not care for the rice. It tasted off and not sure what the problem was. Also, I found it odd that they added mixed greens to this dish because they wilted. Think cabbage or a tougher green would complement the bulgogi. Also, I would have preferred a different style of egg other than scrambled on this dish. For instance, a runny sunny side up fried egg. I loved the Mandu. It was stuffed with bulgogi. The Mandu is definitely 4 or 5 stars. On the other hand, I did not like their Kim Chi. It was not spicy or flavorful enough. It seemed like an after thought. Overall, if I try this again I would try a couple versions of the Mandu. read more

This has to be one of the best food trucks in the triangle. I love trying new things and Bo's kitchen was calling my name when parked outside of Lynwood Brewing Concern the other evening. Wow, these dishes aren't necessarily something I was looking for, but I am so glad I found them. Bulgogi is a traditional Korean dish, and per the food truck is one of the most popular Korean dishes in the world. So I had to try it! Impressed overall- a tad on the spicy side which I enjoyed. This dish came out (very big!) with rice, shaved ribeye, eggs, gerkin, and lettuce. The sauce the dish was served with was amazing, on the sweeter side with a late spice. As I was waiting for my order I got to see some of their dumplings come out, these looked just as good if not better. I would recommend, try something new- this place is awesome and different! Eat on! read more

The food truck was good, however, I felt pretty sketched out by the prices. At a recent food truck event I stopped here (prior to waiting in the long line) to view the menu and the prices on everything. What I wanted was listed as 10 dollars on the outside of the food truck.... I wait in line for 30 minutes, get up to the window and order my food and the cashier says that'll be 15 bucks. I told her that the menu said 10 dollars and all she said was the menu was "old." I don't think it's too much to ask to have your prices updated as it's very misleading and also seems fairly questionable to display prices that are lower and charge people higher. read more

This place is a rip off. The prices are too high for what you get. The rice plate has no rice and is only salad. Order it and tell me I'm lying. read more

Namu is Durham has delicious Korean BBQ, absolutely amazing! Their food truck is no different. I can't bring myself to change my order from Bo's special which comes with choice of protein for the bowl and potstickers. My favorite is beef for the bowl and spicy pork for the dumplings. read more

With the absence of the Kokyu food truck from the Triangle scene, Bo's Kitchen definitely fills a void for Korean bbq. My favorite by far is the mandu although everything that I have had has been great. Of the different meats the pork and beef are highlights, I wasn't as big of a fan of the chicken. And not only is the food great, but the service is also amazing. The guy who takes the orders (maybe it's Bo?) is so friendly and a pleasure to interact with. The truck rotates between Raleigh and Durham and is definitely worth tracking down. Also, Bo's Kitchen and Bulkogi food truck are collaborating to open up a brick-and-mortar spot called Namu in Durham-- can't wait to try them out! read more

Went to my first Durham Food Truck Rodeo today and this truck was at the top of my list to visit. I've heard great things about Namu, the restaurant that the truck owner also has in Durham. I asked for a good recommendation and he said the bulgogi was the most popular item. I've had that before, so I opted for the mandu, a Korean dumpling, over rice. I paid around $10 for four mandu sitting on a bed of lettuce with rice and a side of jalapeños, pickles, and a spicy sweet sauce I poured over the dumplings. The dumplings themselves were delicious! They were so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I got the spicy pork filling and it was more sweet than it was spicy. I enjoyed the meal and it came out pretty quickly and was filling. read more

Bo's blew me away last night (and this morning). Last night I was at House of Hops and Bo's Kitchen was parked out front. Menu had about 10 or 12 items on it. Authentic Korean food that definitely got me excited! I misread a number and asked for #2, which was bread. I wanted the Spicy Pork with rice. Turns out it was #3. The man, owner Gavin Bo Kwan, remade my order in a flash with no problems whatsoever. He even brought it into House of Hops to find me so I didn't have to stand out in the cold. $9. Spicy pork in just the right amount of sauce with some sticky white rice, fried egg, a tiny dill pickle, a few small jalapenos, and a light bed of greens below it. I wasn't starving, but it was so good that I woofed it out. Other people really enjoyed their bulgogi and kimchi. Mine was glorious. Still, I couldn't quite finish it all. I ate it for breakfast this morning and instantly wanted more. I'm planning on tracking Bo's Kitchen food truck and getting some more of that as soon as I can! read more

Bo's Kitchen - Spicy pork and rice - Food Trucks Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

All I can say is...O.M.G. it's been a long time since I've had a dumpling I've enjoyed so much. Bo's Kitchen recently filled in during Food Truck Friday at the Crescent. At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to try it as I haven't had good luck getting Asian food from a truck. Well, Bo's Kitchen was a amazing! My coworker and I split three orders of the mandu (we tried both the beef and the spicy pork) and as soon as we took a bite, we were WOW'd. Just the right amount of crunch and with their special sauce drizzled over, the dumplings didn't need any additional sauce. The dumplings are also laid on a bed of spring mix and once you're done eating the dumplings, the leftover sauce from the dumplings on the salad: yummy goodness. My other coworkers ordered the bulgolgi and raved about it as well. There were no complaints from our department. The main dishes (bulgolgi, spicy chicken, spicy pork, etc) came with either rice or bread and a few korean banchan (aka sides such as kimchi, egg, etc) and a drink for only $9. The dumplings came in quantities of 4 and cost $6. That's a bit high for dumplings in my opinion, but totally worth it. Finally, the last best thing is that both Bo (Gavin) and his wife Ashley are SUPER sweet. Next time Bo's Kitchen comes around, we'll definitely be there. edit: They don't have a website yet, but you can follow their twitter to find their truck: twitter.com/boskitchen14. Yelp wouldn't let me add it to the business profile. read more

Delicious! There are a good amount of korean food trucks in the triangle, but if you're wanting authentic korean, bo's kitchen is where it's at. No korean tacos or philly cheesesteaks here: they serve straight up bulkogi with rice and veggies. legit. As plain and simple as it sounds, bo's actually gets it right. they don't need to make korean fusion and add cheese, salsa, etc. The meat and veggies are actually super flavorful and the scrambled eggs and rice all complement the dish. It's perfection. You also get your money's worth here too. Expect to be super full after ordering here. Oh I also like to get the mandu with spicy pork on top. Don't be deceived, this is also super filling--they don't skimp out on meat here at all. Also comes with the spring salad. read more

Oh man....Bo's has been on my to-try list for awhile, so as soon as I spotted it at Brewgaloo, I wasted no time in ordering. I ordered the Spicy Pork with Rice with a side of the Spicy Pork Mandu (dumpling). The price was fairly average for a food truck: $8 for the main dish and $4 for a side. The spicy pork was a giant portion and the dumplings were a satisfying size. I haven't seen spicy pork with a side of eggs before but when I mixed everything, wow! The flavor was all there and it was incredibly savory. In fact, I only managed to walk a few steps away from the truck before I was shoveling it down. Like the other reviews mentioned, the food from Bo's tastes like homemade Korean food. Bo's is a must-try food truck! read more

Excellent food truck!! I love the straightforward ordering of meat and rice, dumplings and rice, or meat and dumplings!! The dumplings were nice and crispy on the outside, definitely fresh out of the fryer, but juicy on the inside. The portions were awesome for what you paid, and the flavor was exactly what I want when I'm craving a spicy, fatty, sightly sweet Korean food. The owner is super friendly! Can't wait for these guys to come back! read more

My husband and I were at a food truck event in Cary and this is one of the few trucks that hadn't showed up at either of our workplaces recently. We're both in busy office parks that often host food trucks. We loved the bulgogi! The portion was very large - one trend I've been noticing with food trucks is that they often skimp out on food. You end up paying something $17 and you are broke, sad and hungry after you finish. This wasn't the case here. The food was plentiful and delicious. I've had eggs over easy on bulgogi but they do it scrambled here, which is fine with me, especially with the recent salmonella scare. My only complaint was that it seemed a little sweet but otherwise it was lovely. We ate this food after I won two rounds of huge connect four and walking around on a beautiful Sunday. I'm pretty sure my mood was stellar but this did not bias my satisfaction with the meal. I really liked it and my husband wholeheartedly agreed. We'll be keeping an eye out for this truck again. read more

I love that feeling when a place surprises me with food far better than I was expecting. I ran into this truck at Fullsteam and I had never heard of it before but needed some food. I wouldn't consider myself a korean food expert, but I've had it a good number of times, and the restaurants I've been to around here have never quite quite impressed me with their offerings. This place instantly became my favorite korean food I've had in North Carolina. I had the bulgogi meal and split some mandu (dumplings). It was delicious, especially their mandu which blew me away. I hear they are opening up a brick and mortar location which makes me so happy, glad I tried this food truck and they converted me into a Bo's fan. Will be keeping an eye out for them. read more

Finally got to experience Bo's Kitchen today as they were at my husband's office park during the lunch hour. He had the spicy pork with rice and I had the spicy pork mandu (Korean dumplings) with bulgogi over the top. I'm a sucker for Asian dumplings of most any variety, but these were pan fried to a delicious crispness and the filling was delectable! This is one food truck we'll be watching for and will plan future lunch dates around their arrival at the office park! read more

Delicious food! Friendly prompt service. Always has a vegetarian option available. One of my favorite food trucks! read more

Yum! This food is so delicious. We got the dumplings and kimchi side. You can tell recipe the pork dumpling filling is on pointe... Enough to wonder if it's a carried down recipe in the family! The dumplings are fried and a bit filling with the oil so a little goes a long way. They're served on a heaping amount of fresh mixed greens which was not even on the menu (so far as I read). Loved it. Be sure to get the $1 side of kimchi because it's hard to find home made kimchi in Raleigh. read more

Bo's Kitchen - Pork dumplings (we ate two prior to the pic) - Food Trucks Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Planning my attack for the most recent Durham Food Truck Rodeo, Bo's Kitchen was on my must-try list. I felt their menu was quite extensive for a food truck and I love how you can mix and match items. We waited about 45 minutes total from waiting in line to delivery but that seemed common for the day. Service was excellent and the nice gentleman walked me through the ordering process. I was sad to learn they were out of Kimchi, a must when eating Korean food in my book but I pressed on. I took his advice and ordered the Beef Mandu (dumplings) topped with spicy pork, an adequate amount of food for $10. Plenty of well-seasoned beef with a thinner dough on the dumplings so you can really taste what's inside. The spicy pork was lean, nicely cooked but not what I would consider spicy. I will definitely try them again and hope they have Kimchi on board. read more

We tried this place during the Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo, and the food was all really good! We had the Spicy Pork with Rice, and the Homemade Spicy Pork Mandu (Korean Dumplings). The Pork & Rice had lots of egg, which we really liked. The meat was spicy and well coated with sauce. The dumplings were also very good, and we could tell they were hand made, as they were folded differently than most dumplings we've had. Can't wait to eat here again! read more

Bo's Kitchen - Homemade Spicy Pork Mandu (Korean Dumplings) & Spicy Pork with Rice! - Food Trucks Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I really wish I could give Bo's a higher rating, but considering the quality, quantity and cost, I have to go with a 3. I got a combo of the meats with rice, which came to $14. But there was no egg on the side, which I thought was strange, given that all the other meats came with it. When I asked, they explained that the meat combo doesn't come with an egg, but kindly gave me one. But it came out cold - and cold eggs taste terrible. It became this rubbery yellow mound sitting on the rice sadly. The beef was the best, and I didn't care for the chicken. The quality of the white rice was good. But the portion was tiny for $14. I would've said, "Meh, I've experienced better", but the people working there were nice, so overall, 3 stars. read more

Fantastic food. I love authentic Korean food, but was hesitant to try a food truck. I was dead wrong, this place is a hidden gem!

I love this food truck and I'm a bit of a groupie! I will follow them all over town as they have the best Korean BBQ I've had in years. I wish they had a restaurant but I love that it's a family owned business and the owners are super nice. I've been fortunate to try their food at a few food truck rodeos. The servings are large and the price is reasonable, the BBQ is cooked to perfection and they serve it with an egg which adds to it's awesomeness! The best thing is that once you order you have your food in a few minutes and they are cooking this to order. Everything they serve is fresh! If you can follow the, around town, I highly suggest giving them a try. You won't regret it! read more

Oh. Em. Gee. Ordered the Bulgogi with Rice and inhaled it. My body may or may not have screamed at me for air. This meal was seriously on point. I love how much meat was included. Extremely generous portions. Totally trying the Japchae Mandu with Bulgogi on top next time. I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE DELICIOUSNESS. read more

I wish Bo's Kitchen was a stationary restaurant because I'd buy whatever apartment was closest to it. Rule 1: Get the dumplings. Rule 2: Get everything else on the menu. Rule 3: Forget time and space and transcend into a delicious dream of mouth-watering Korean flavors. read more

I stumbled upon Bo's kitchen at the Raleigh food truck festival and I had to try it out. I just moved to the area from California and one thing I miss about California is the amazing Korean food. I bought the meat lovers plate and I wasn't disappointed. The meat was all full of flavor. Even the collard greens were full of flavor. The owners are extremely nice and the service was fast. Really good food, try it out :) read more

My son has been talking up Bo's for awhile now. Finally, this past Sunday, I was in town at the right time as there was a food truck rodeo in Cary. We had the beef mandu and the spicy pork with rice.
