I phoned in my order for oxtails, collard greens with Mac and cheese. My wife had the turkey wings with yams and greens. Both entrees were absolutely delicious. The food was fresh and seasoned like home cooking which it most definitely was. We couldn't wait to tell our friends and family about our discovery. The young lady who took my order was extremely nice. I'm glad we found this place. If you're craving real soul food and don't feel like cooking call The Luxe Box.

I was excited to finally try No Worries Filipino Vegan Cuisine recently at the Oakland VegFest. It…read morehas been on my radar to try them for awhile now yet took a while to pan out. From the looks of their calendar they travel around quite a bit including a lot of Oakland Athletics baseball games this month. So Oakland VegFest was unusually hot this year compared to last year when it was overcast & a lot cooler. I decided to get the sampler plate for $16. This came w/ Mungo, Adobo, Apritada, & Pansit. They were out of the Apritada which was a popular item so my server suggested I could double up on one of the other three items. Since I didn't know so much about the menu I asked the server for his recommendation. He said I would double up w/ the Mungo & that's what I went with. I went to find a shady spot & enjoyed my food. It was filling, tasty & nourishing. I loved that there was lots of veggies, legumes, & brown rice that seemed like a healthy meal that was flavorful to boot. The Mungo was mung beans boiled in broth then combined w/ sautéed kabocha squash, string beans, & deep fried tofu. The Adobo was soy chicken strips fried to a crisp, combined w/ soft eggplant then cooked in a marinade of soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves, garlic, salt, & pepper. Pansit was traditional rice noodles cooked in a vegetable broth of soy chicken, cabbage, celery, and carrots, then seasoned with pepper, soy sauce and lemon juice. The Apritada that they sold out of is a stew-like combination of soy chicken, potatoes, red bell peppers, and green peas melted into a tomato based sauce. A friend I was with decided to have a snack of Lumpia spring rolls for $4 for the pair. These were seasoned soy ground beef mixed w/ shredded cabbage, peas, and carrots then rolled in a rice wrapper and deep fried to perfection. Sweet chili sauce was provided for dipping. Our other friend opted to go w/ a Mungo plate for $9. He wasn't keen on the tofu so asked if they could give him extra kabocha squash instead of the tofu. They did & was no worries. All in all No Worries Filipino Vegan Cuisine was quite alright. I look forward to trying them again & especially am curious to try the Apritada that sold out.

Vegan Filipino food is almost an oxymoron…read more Crispy pata (deep fried pork leg), lechon kawali (fried pork belly), sisig (sizzling bits of pig's head), dinuguan (pork blood stew), and kare kare (oxtail and tripe peanut stew)...I can go on and on. Even for breakfast, they have longanisa (sweet pork sausage), tocino (cured pork), and of course, spam....alongside a fried egg and garlic rice. I'm sitting here noshing on some Vanilla Almond Cereal and I'm already getting the meat sweats just thinking about Filipino food. From time-to-time I enjoy eating Filipino food but I end up feeling and looking like Ms. Bibendum (Michelin Man's wifey). Ok, I look that anyways but I think you know where I'm coming from. No worries because No Worries Filipino Vegan Cuisine got your back. This food truck offers all the authentic flavors of Filipino cuisine without the guilt or bloat (no msg). I'm no vegan but this truck got the seal of approval by Yelp Vegan Power Couple (John B. and Rachel C.) so I knew it was legit. We visited their truck yesterday at SoMa StrEat Food Park for Very Vegan Sundays. On the menu was adobo (soy vinegar based stew - $9), apritada (tomato based stew - $9), mungo (mung bean stew - $8), pancit (stir-fried vermicelli noodles - $8), and lumpia (fried egg rolls - $4). With the exception of the pancit and lumpia, orders come with a side of brown rice. Sampler Plate with 1 lumpia was $16. CC's accepted. Since we were sharing, I ordered the Sampler Plate ($16): http://bit.ly/1C8PhE9. My fav were the mungo and the lumpia. The mungo is a hearty stew similar to creamy lentil stew with kabocha squash, green beans, and fried tofu. Even better than the rendition I had growing up because I love kabocha. The lumpia was piping hot, crunchy, and meaty (soy ground beef). I would have never known it was vegan if I wasn't told so. Now that's a true testament of solid vegan food. The apritada and adobo (savory and vinegary) tasted like the real deal but personally, I'm not a fan of faux meat that it came with. I just can't get use to the spongy texture. Pancit was a bit bland and could of used more garlic and a sprinkling of scallions for some color. The brown rice was really dry. Filipino food can be intimidating especially since it's really underrepresented outside of Daly City. I think No Worries would be a good introduction for newbie Filipino food eaters...and even for carniwhores like Mr. NSS. The way he was eating the vegan lumpia, it was like he was lustfully devouring a longanisa. Wait that doesn't sound right...

All the one bite passed trays were simply perfect. Beyond the beautifully presented and delicious food, the service was outstanding. I had refused further wine, so after a few minutes of seeing me sitting without a drink, a waiter came and offered me a glass of sparkling water with lemon which I happily accepted. I appreciated this solicitous behavior. The home was kept spotlessly clean, yet no-one walked away with your wine glass if you left it for a second or two. It was much appreciated that they were mindful of not wasting the host's fine wines. The kitchen was kept neat and clean as they worked and the staff was very friendly.
