I have come across this food truck a couple of times at Off the Grid events and have meaning to…read moregive it a try. One night in Foster City, I decided that this place was the best option out of all of the trucks present so I settled on eating here. I have never had dim sum from a food truck so I was a little apprehensive as to how it would taste especially since I am picky about my dim sum. I got the dim sum platter, which included siu mai, shrimp dumplings, chicken pot stickers, and joong (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo). I also got an addtional order of xian bing (beef meat pies) and the creamy pork cutlet with rice. The dim sum platter was decent. I've definitely had better siu mai, dumplings, and pot stickers elsewhere but coming from a food truck, they were pretty reasonable. I love joong and don't find it at many places so that was pleasant surprise and it was tasty. The xian bing was all right... it was clearly a pre-made beef patty wrapped in dough that was simply refried. I know I shouldn't be expecting something made fresh-to-order at a food truck but then I don't think you should really have something like that on the menu at all if it's premade. The savory pork cutlet with rice was essentially a version of congee (creamy rice porridge). It was pretty good except that they had put shredded cheese over the top of the dish. I honestly had no idea why they would do that and it was not needed nor aesthetically pleasing at all. If management is reading this review, please consider removing the addition of cheese to this item. Overall, I wouldn't necessarily seek this place out if I am craving dim sum since there are so many better options in the bay area. However, this truck serves up pretty reasonable food with a couple of items that you wouldn't necessarily find at the nicer dim sum restaurants.

I finally got to try Hongry Kong through an office catering pop-up. The dim sum looked appealing at…read morefirst glance, and the line moved quickly, but the overall experience fell short for $13.5!! The staff was efficient, though the interaction felt a bit impersonal, and the meal came as a fixed combo platter rather than allowing us to choose individual items. Unfortunately, much of the food tasted as though it had been sitting in a warmer for too long. There were a few decent elements, but freshness and texture were recurring issues across the platter. * Har Gow: Each dumpling had two full shrimp inside, which was generous. However, the shrimp felt overcooked, likely from being held too long. * Siu Mai: A good-sized dumpling with shrimp and a meat filling, but the texture of the meat was dry and lacked flavor. * BBQ Steamed Bun: The filling was shredded, but there was far more bun than meat. It also tasted more like a pre-made product than something freshly prepared. * Wrapped Sticky Rice: This was probably the strongest item of the group. The glutinous rice and meat were satisfying, although it still did not taste freshly made. * Sesame Ball: The mochi-like exterior and sweet paste filling were nicely balanced, but again, it seemed to have been sitting out for a while rather than served fresh. Overall: the presentation showed potential, but the execution did not match closely. Since this was a catered pop-up, I realize it may not fully reflect the dine-in experience, but based on this meal, freshness and quality control need more attention before I would seek it out again.

Cute on the inside but we wanted to sit outside. It's cute outside and quiet which was chill. The burger was excellent, cooked medium well, and the sauce was smacking! I'd ask for extra sauce next time because I wanted to drench my burger in it. The onion rings were perfectly crispy--not soggy or oily. The spicy sandwich was fireeeee. Tender, juicy chicken that was seasoned well, and my fries were crispy on the outside with potato goodness on the inside. I'm a fries snob, and these were the best fries I've had at a burger spot.

Big won ton filled w pork and shrimp. Bok choy Broth not much flavor, in a separate container since this was a take-home order. Curry Beef Stew I've never had Curry beef stew before, prefer chicken, curry, but for some odd reason, I decided to order this dish. It was underwhelming and I won't order it again. The Curry sauce itself was OK but the big long pieces of beef were somewhat gross, lots of fat. They added plenty of slices to onions and a few pieces of green pepper and Julienned carrots, but that's about it for being called a stew. So I learned my lesson by not sticking to my usual order, and won't order wonton soup or curry beef stew again.

For food, we ordered the dim sum platter and the french toast. The french toast was fine - exactly what you'd expect. The dim sum platter was super underwhelming. Two pieces of hagao and two pieces of siumai and one chasiu bao. The hagao was not good at all - skin was super thin and possibly over steamed. Siumai was much better - very juicy. The bao was meh. Everything felt like it was from frozen in my opinion. We want to come back to try their hot food. They have a decent crowd on the weekend so it must have better items than what we had. I would avoid the dim sum overall next time.

Since the food was catered, unfortunately I was unable to see the robots cooking in action, but fortunately was able to taste the final products. I was able to try the Wagyu galbi (short ribs), dak galbi (marinated chicken), Seoul food bowl (stir-fried pork belly and shrimp), and japchae, served with their corn salad, kimchi, and white rice. The Wagyu galbi was very flavorful with a good amount of vegetables; though I enjoyed the inclusion of lotus root, the veggies seemed like borderline filler to skimp out on meat. The dak galbi was also flavorful though spicy, and again the inclusion of rice cakes seemed like filler. The pork belly and shrimp were delicious, and I liked that the pieces of pork belly I had didn't have an overpowering amount of fat. The japchae was pretty standard and was nice to balance out the meat. I enjoyed the corn salad because it added a creamy component to my meal. The kimchi got lost in the mixture of food in my bowl and the rice was cooked perfectly by the robot. Overall, I enjoyed the food prepared by OLHSO Truck. Unfortunately, since the food was catered and already prepared when I arrived, I cannot comment on the service or wait times provided by the staff. I would consider ordering food from the truck if I am craving Korean fusion type of food and am too lazy to dine in at a local Korean restaurant. If the food from the truck is a good representation of the restaurant in downtown San Mateo, I am more inclined to try the restaurant for a nice sit down dining experience.

I love that they give you potato chips with every sandwich, and unwrapping every sandwich that has the twine tied around it feels like you are unbundling a treasure.
