MoBowl had a tent set up at SJ Night Market. I ended up ordering a braised pork bao and a honey jasmine green tea. Both were delicious. The braised pork bao was very flavorful especially with the yellow pickled radish and cucumbers. I think it has a good balance of seasoning. The honey jasmine green tea is actually one of the best I've had. Their tea is strong and you can taste the jasmine very well. I would definitely come back here and order more, especially their tea. read more

I asked MoBowl to come to my church for a lunch service today. When I contacted MoBowl last month, Kevin responded back quickly. He was accommodating and had no problem making sure the he had options available for the special requests my church had. Kevin and his team were friendly and efficient, and everyone enjoyed their food. I personally had the garlic prawns rice bowl, and the prawns were perfectly cooked. Thank you, MoBowl! read more

This review is for the food truck which makes it's way into the SF Truck Stop line up in SOMA. On a cold San Francisco day, my colleagues & I braved the wind to embark on a new journey. There was resistance and almost a revolt, but to Mo' Bowl it was. A new flavor, a new experience. In search of warmth, I got the Sweet and Spicy Chicken with the two sides: brown rice and fries. Improperly prepared, I skipped the Fried egg on top. Upon devouring the bowl, though pricey at 11, was worth it. I lived for another day, lasting for another bowl, with the firm reminder to get the fried egg on top next time. The other soldiers all approved. read more

Kevin and the crew at MoBowl were awesome! Not only did the food make our event so much more special people raved about it! As a professional event planner I had reached out to several trucks and didn't even get an email back. Kevin was quick to communicate, he did all the work on reserving the spot on the street with the city. Less for me to handle while I was preparing for my event. I would highly recommend hiring MoBowl if you have an event or party. One of our attendees even Instagramed it! Food was fab and easy service. Invoices easy to pay online as well. I really appreciate it you Kevin! read more

LOVED MoBowl. For once there's a truck that isn't insanely overpriced for the amount of food you get. My bowl had a brown rice and salad base (excellent house dressing) with brussels sprouts and cauliflower and peanut pesto chicken. Amazing flavors, tender brussels sprouts, and delicious food. Will definitely come back to try other bowls at this truck! read more

I work near the GFood Lounge on occasion. I was torn between this place and the Chairman which is one of my very favorites. I'm always looking to try something new so I went here instead of my beloved Chairman. I got the fried chicken. I like the flavor and crunch of the coating but it wasn't too deeply covered like other places making it impenetrable. The chicken was tender, juicy and flavorful. I'm really looking forward to trying them again. Fried Chicken "is my beat fuel" read more

I finally got to try something other than their cheesecake eggrolls so this will be a more complete review. We started off with the wings and seasoned fries. I guess there was supposed to be sauce that went on top of the seasoned fries, but they ran out. It's all good though, they were still yummy. I loved the wings, but my foodie partners in crime took a pass. No prob, more for me! I'm not sure if they're battered and then fried, but I loved the batter and the smattering of chili sauce was just enough heat for my delicate (cough: weak) palate. Then we got the Hari Cari and the Peanut Pesto Bowls. The Hari Cari included yellow coconut curry which the boyfriend liked, but he didn't like the rice. I assumed that it came with white rice, but they gave us brown rice instead. We all loved the Peanut Pesto Chicken. I really dug the peanut crusting on the chicken. It was very unique and tasty. I got fried rice which was aces with the chicken. As for the cheesecake eggrolls, what can I say? It's basically fried cheesecake. How can you go wrong with that? I just wish that they gave you more than a teaspoon full of the yummy strawberry coulis (which they always misspell on their sign and drives CarinaM and me bonkers). read more

I just got the wings from here, and wanted to come back and try the Cheesecake Egg Rolls but was too full : ( -MoBowl Wings (Lightly Fried Chicken Wings Topped w/ Sweet & Spicy Sauce, Sesame Seeds, a Little Mint $4): You get 4 wings for $4, not the best deal but not the worst. They give you two wings and two baby drumsticks. I thought my wings were over fried, since they got dried out. They also don't give you enough sauce on the wings, so I just had a dry taste in my mouth the whole time. The sweet and spicy ssauce was good though- I just wish I had more of it! The rest of the menu looked pretty good, but nothing wowed me enough to want to try more, unfortunately. read more

$5 for spice pulled pork bowl! SO YUMMY!!! ..but when you go home to clean the bowl or leave it in the sun...you see the layer of white fat that built up from it. YUCK! Worth trying for a guilty pleasure food. read more

Curiosity led me to MoBowl when I found out it was stationed at SFSU for lunch. I had grown tired of the on-campus food vendors, so I gave MoBowl a shot and was pleasantly surprised! For $10, I had the peanut pesto rice bowl. The sauce was packed with flavor, while the chicken was tender and moist. It's a nice option for those who are looking for a balanced meal, as it comes with a side salad and you can choose brown rice. You can also get fries instead of the side salad for those days you want to treat yourself. Definitely looking forward to trying more MoBowl dishes next semester. read more

MoBowl - Peanut Pesto Chicken Bowl - Food Trucks Near Me - Brisbane, California

I grabbed lunch here while they were stationed in SOMA on Spear St. I ordered the Peanut Pesto chicken with brown rice and their house salad. Overall, I thought it was great. I like that you can pick 2 sides and that they have some healthier options. It felt like a lot of food so I probably would just do the salad and chicken next time. The staff was super friendly and there was almost no wait. I will totally go again if the service is this fast! :) read more

Venturing to a corporate setting around 1:20pm, I was fortunate to get my first taste of MoBowl without having to wait in line. MoBowl had announced its special fried porkchop (schnitzel) dish over Facebook, but they were unfortunately out of it when I, the straggler, showed up. Nonetheless, I carried on by ordering a 5 spice pork bowl and a side of cheesecake egg rolls. The pork bowl was well prepared and a fair portion. The pork was tender, had a great consistency, was a little sweet, and went very well with the white rice. A mayo-based sauce topped the meat and, when combined with the meat's juices and the rice, fits together very nicely. However, I wish that, even without Sriracha, the meat had some kick to it. The vegetables, though a little sparse, had a savory dressing that made the cucumbers taste very good (and I don't like cucumbers!). The cheesecake egg rolls were very tasty. They came drizzled with a strawberry sauce and a pinch salt & pepper that compliments the sweetness of the filling but alters it with a slightly savory quality. The crisp & crunch was right on the money, and the vanilla sweetness of the cheesecake was not overwhelming. $2 for two egg rolls is a good deal; eating one and sharing one strikes a perfect deal for your stomach and wallet. Overall, I very much enjoyed the entree, dessert, and service of MoBowl. The $8 I paid for my bowl was, in my opinion, a buck too high given the simple set of meat, rice, and a small salad, but the portion was appropriate. I'd like to try a couple of MoBowl's smaller bites and see what they "roll" out with next! read more

So grateful for this new food truck fad that's sweeping the country. MoBowl is one the better food trucks I've sampled on campus at Stanford, and their spicy fried chicken + noodles (see photo) was impressively flavorful. And as all food trucks are wont to do, the food tends to run a bit on the pricey side. Worth checking out! read more

Thank you Kevin & crew for coming to visit us @ Snap-on! Everything and I mean EVERYTHING on this truck is deeeelish! Service is super friendly and prompt, I highly recommend giving them a shot, you are in luck if you have the opportunity! A few of my faves: Peanut Chicken Pesto Bowl GREAT flavors Cheesecake Eggrolls with Cracked Pepper Pineapple Coulee (YES, you read right & it is AMAZING!) HARI CARI is by far my fave, not too spicy, very savory, nice chicken and veggies in an exceptional sauce over rice and don't forget Mexican Coke ... yes there is a difference! read more

A little overpriced for rice bowl but I can see that they factor convenience to the equation since they are a mobile restaurant. I ordered the $8 honey black pepper steak bowl and opted for brown rice which was an extra $1. The steak and the secret sauce they drizzle on the rice was AWESOME. Very tasty, not too salty, and not too fatty. The bowl also comes with some cucumbers, shredded carrots, and some greens to satisfy the 4 basic food groups. I'll have to try the umami tofu bowl next time since my coworker loved it. Maybe I'll try it with white or fried rice. read more

This was one of the food trucks that happened to be at Meet The Brewers this past Saturday. I wanted something sweet and fries. I was persuaded into ordering their cheesecake eggrolls and chili fries. I wasn't thrilled with the chili fries. The seasoning was a bit too salty for my taste. The cheesecake eggrolls were great, but I could've done without the smattering of sugar mix on top. The cheesecake was sweet enough. That's my intro to MoBowl and I found it to be acceptable. read more

So let's start with Edward. He is the man! Engaging, talkative and most of all - a master of his craft. The pulled pork has hearty chunks, just like grandmas chicken noodle soup. The Brussels sprouts have a meaty texture to them, perfect for vegetarians. Then the fried chicken, it was the end of the night and Edward brought this over to us on the house, such a sweetheart!! Super crispy, saucy, everything you want. Eat at this truck for the food, come back to see Edward!! read more

I believe I came across MoBowl while visiting Edgewood Eats, but since this is one of the first food trucks of which I became a regular, the encounters have blurred together into a continuum of my first favorite peanut pesto chicken and the newer favorites like the sliders (one of each!), not to mention some of the incredible inventions Kevin has come up with that have never left the MoBowl Labs. Do not for a moment mistake the simple look of little MoBowl or the responsible nature of the menu for anything less than quiet awesome. Now, what will Kevin come up with for St Paddy's Day this year, I wonder? read more

I love MoBowl! They have a great menu with a variety of options! You pick a protein and 2 sides to go with your bowl! My favorite thing to get is the Umami Tofu with half brown rice/half salad!

I really love this truck and the guys who run it. It was my first time trying this food truck as I've had bad experiences in the past and was reluctant to try another food truck. Most provide small portions, poor quality food at high prices. But the food here was delish. I ordered the pork belly with rice and fries. Yum! The guys have a great sense of humor, as I was able to tease them about the food. They put up big time. Brought a friend for the first time and they appreciated it! They put my faith bad in the food truck biz and you have me and my other friend(s) as regular customers! Thanks so much! read more

First time trying this new place, super good. Great healthy alternative for quick takeout. I tried their sweet fire chicken and Mongolian beef rice bowl, will definitely be going back to try more. read more

MoBowl is a wonderful gourmet food truck! We first tried it at the Edgewood Eats in Palo Alto. We enjoyed it so much that we actually went to the website and found their schedule. We have traveled to Sunnyvale, Mountain View and Menlo Park just to buy lunch or dinner at MoBowl! My favorite is the Five-Spice Pulled Pork. My wife likes the Peanut Pesto Chicken and the spicy Hari Cari. BTW, the cheesecake egg rolls are very good. read more

1/27/15: Wow, well whaddya know... I gave this truck a 3 in my last review, but today's food was great! I've never jumped a score by 2 before, 'till now! 1. Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken $10: K, first for the bad--it looks like they raised their prices. Oh well. Now as for the food... Chicken: As I noted in my previous review they don't use the chicken skin, which sux, but the chicken is still cooked tenderly. There appears to be a mix of dark and white meat, and as expected the dark meat is tastier, but the white meat isn't dry and cooked pretty well, just like last time's Pesto Chicken. The coating is awesome though!--very crunchy and flavorful. Sauce is great too--tastes good, and they didn't smother everything with it so you could still taste the awesomely fried chicken. 9/10. Brown Rice (side): MUCH better than before! I dunno if they saw what I wrote last time, but either way it certainly was addressed. Completely perfectly cooked. 7/10. (Can't give more than 7 unfortunately cause it's just standard rice, nothing special, but props for the perfection!) Fries (side): REALLY GOOD FRIES! I love the texture and the savory taste! I LOVE fried stuff, and I hate it when people attempt to make healthy fried stuff. This ain't healthy. And it's awesome. I dunno if it's just my imagination, but it seems to even have picked up some meaty taste--VERY flavorful! 10/10. I didn't get the garlic noodles--wonder if they improved that as well? Anyway, today was awesome. 5/5 well deserved. #truck #chinese #healthy read more

I love MoBowl. Flavors are all consistently good and you can't go wrong with any of the protein options and sides. I would give them all the stars in the world except their ordering and expediting service (at least at the OTG in Foster City) is crazy slow. There's 2 people to do both cooking and accepting orders. Every time I order, it takes me 10+ mins to just get the food. I you guys and want you to keep up the good food. Maybe just hire more help? read more

This food truck caught my friend's eye as he was driving down the street, so he suggested we go try it out. I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly faces that greeted us, and the interesting "bowl" concept. The idea of having everything in a bowl for my meal was appealing! Lots of bowl meals are great - pho, ramen, udon, oyako-don, cereal, etc.! They don't have any of those here, but that's okay! I chose the 5-spice pork and he chose the Tofu. The prices are a bit high for the portions, but everything was fresh and tasted good. I like the addition of the salad, and the pork was very tender. Overall, I'd try MoBowl again, but I do think that $8 for a small bowl of food is a bit steep. read more

Oh MoBowl, you were the highlight of an otherwise overpriced Bacon Fest. I was initially interested in the menu of your neighbor at the rally, but considering they weren't going to open for 30 more minutes, their loss was your gain - which was really my gain. The line went by quickly and soon I was getting my order from the very nice staff. The menu was limited for the event, but everything was an upgrade from the standard fare - so while not blown away, nice that they tried to go above and beyond. First round through, I went with the bacon and cheese ramen burger. Wow. The burger was cooked perfectly, and I like that the bacon was thick cut. The way the juices overflow and absorbed by the ramen made a delightful addition to the ongoing meal, but I made the mistake of not grabbing a fork first, so had to run back. Due to the deliciousness of the burger, I went back in line as I waited for friends to arrive. They did, and the second round was more balanced - also ordered were the 5 spice pulled pork and bacon fries (YUM) and the line ending, but worth it maple bacon cheesecake spring roll. So good. Sweet, smokey, cheesy, meaty... Actually now that I think about it, other than covering everything in chocolate, you got all the flavor senses rolling in your foods. Good job. For what it's worth, forget the haters that got in line late and the bad estimates from the Festival staff, having sampled everything on their menu, I am a fan of MoBowl. read more

I ate here for lunch today and ordered their Tofu Unami dish. The service was friendly, and they made the dish very quickly. However, for $10, I was pretty disappointed with the amount of food I received. Usually I expect to pay between $5-$8 for a food truck entree, so was already surprised I need to fork over $10 (prices were not listed on the chalk board menu). I think the portion and quality was more like a $7 meal, and I would have tipped. The food was very well done, but nothing extraordinary. It included a little side salad, which only seemed to fill the second half of the box that I wish had been more entree. :( While the food was good, I would not eat here again simply because it was expensive compared to other food truck prices. read more

Extremely disorganized and slow for a food truck. It would have taken 35 minutes to assemble a 3 item bowl. How is this possible? Have they heard of Chipotle? The bowls are OK, not great but the service is pretty bad. The way they handled the food also didn't look very hygienic. The guy wiped his hands on some dirty towels and grabbed french fries with his bare hands. I got fed up with the wait, took my money and went next door to Eat on Monday and it took them 3 minutes to deliver a really tasty pulled pork sandwich (better than the pulled pork Mo'Bowl). Anyways, lesson learned. read more

MoBowl just became one of my favorite place to go for rice bowls. Ordered their 5 spice pulled pork with white rice and it blew my mind. The only problem I have with their pulled pork was that I prefer it a little more fatty. However, if you like lean meat then you should definitely get this. Next time I will try their garlic noodles, cheesecake egg rolls and probably add an egg on top of my entree. Overall, amazing foodtruck. Will definitely come back again to try out the rest of their menu. read more

A coworker took me to MoBowls today and I'm a new fan! It was in the Sunnyvale location on Bordeaux. We surprisingly arrived promptly at 11:30 AM and they were just about opening. Both the umami tofu and the pulled pork was calling my name, so I decided to ask them to make mine half/half and they obliged. They also gave us the options of choosing white rice, brown rice or shrimp rice. I went with the brown rice and added a fried egg and oh man, it was delicious. Everything was very tasty, full of flavor and not too oily! The dressing on the side salad was light and just right. Can't wait to go back and try the curry bowl and maybe some angel wings, too! I do have to mention that portion is on the small side, or maybe I just eat a lot! read more

5 or 4...5 or 4. My spicy pork bowl was EXCEPTIONAL. Perfect amount of spice and a bit too much food (but I'm not complaining about that). My friend ordered two orders of Angel Wings which were awesome! The wings were slightly caramelized with the sauce they put on leaving them a bit crispy. The MoBowl cart gave us a sad look when we ordered the wings and informed us that they were boneless. Still the chicken was great and easy to eat. I kind of like the no deboning deal. The only downfall came with the pork musubi. My friend reports that it was weird. It didn't really come in the standard musubi shape (a block basically) and it looked more like sushi. I am a bit nitpicky but I'm from Hawaii and we take our musubis seriously (oh 7-11....how I miss thee). Still delicious. I'm still trying to stuff the remains of my bowl into my stomach about an hour later. The guys were super great too! I wanted it to go and they wrapped all my little dishes in foil or a container for easy transport. No mess in the car makes me a happy (and now full) customer. read more

I've only tried this place once, so this 5 star review is only tentative...BUT WOW! I had me a Hari Cari MoBowl (with fried rice) for the first time and it knocked my socks off after just one bite! With most curries I get tired of the taste and soggy texture after awhile...but with my MoBowl, there were so many different things going on I just thought it kept getting better and better after every bite!!! I ordered all this other food from other food trucks but I didn't even need it. The bowl looks small but is very filling and definitely worth the $9! I just wish they were around more often. Bottom line, THE BEST THING I'VE EATEN IN A LONG TIME!! read more

I don't take the time to do Yelp review write ups very often, so since I am taking the time to do this, it is already making the statement that I really liked the food. My coworker introduced me to MoBowl recently, on the fly he asked me if I was interested in paying a visit to one of his favorite Asian Fusion food trucks. Boy, am I glad I had time to grab lunch that day, it was totally worth it. The vendor was super nice, and since I am trying to be "healthy" and can be a bit indecisive, he was really helpful and let me know that they have brown rice, and can let me do a half/half bowl if I want. I went two times in one week, and hope to make more trips in the near future. I actually have mixed feelings about giving them such a glowing review -- I am paranoid that the lines will get too big once the word gets around! :D read more

MoBowl - The famous bowl that made all my coworkers jealous :) - Food Trucks Near Me - Brisbane, California

Wow.... i didnt know that food truck could be this expensive i got the brussel and cauliflower bowl $11 ... pretty expensive hah? although the guys were super nice and the portion was generous... i still think it was a bit too expensive :( the food was average ... a bit too oily for me as well read more

SO GOOD! Pure deliciousness, and the portions are very generous! I don't know why people complain about the prices. The amount of food and the variety of flavors are way better than most trucks at Off the Grid. The portions and the flavorful combinations completely compensate for the prices. Today I tried the the Pesto Chicken on garlic noodles. The box was filled to the brim, overflowing even, and could easily feed 2 or even more people. I paid $11 and will have multiple meals out of it. Lunch today and more for lunch for tomorrow! That's well worth it. The pesto chicken is so flavorful, the pesto is more like an asian cilantro mint pesto with peanuts, drizzled on generous pieces of grilled boneless skinless chicken, packed with super yummy savory spices. The chicken is grilled with charred spices that remind me of No piece tastes dry, and the flavors make me want to go back for more. The garlic noodles are a perfect compliment. Not the very best garlic noodles that I've had, but they were still very good. The truck was super friendly, prices were great, and the portions were hearty. To top it off the food is absolutely delicious - they are spot on with their spices! I say check it out the next time you see it around town. I can't wait to try other dishes from them next time! read more

We tried their chicken wings about one week ago at NewPark Street Eats and I still can't stop thinking about them! It was $4 for an order (they said it was 4 or 5 per order depending on the size of the wings). $1 per wing, but totally worth it! I loved the kick of chili and the crunch of the wings. I wish I could comment on their other dishes, but there's always next time! MLOU'S TIPS ------------------ 1) I would definitely order more since it only comes with 4-5 wings! 2) Grab some napkins since the wings are a bit messy. read more

When you're stuck in an office all day, it's always great to be able to get out for lunch and just walk around the block to some food trucks for something different. On this particular Wednesday, MoBowl was parked at Honda of Andersen in Palo Alto. I had the chicken bites, mongolian beef with garlic noodles and a fried egg and some pulled pork fries. Overall, the food was decent. The beef was a little salty, but was better balanced by the fried egg. The chicken bites were interesting because they were some big ass pieces of chicken, not sure who could eat those in one bite. I did like the flavor of the batter and sweet/sour sauce drizzled on top. The pulled pork fries were HUGE. Great deal for $5! It could have used more bacon, but props to just having bacon on it! My biggest complaint is the way the truck was being operated. I am familiar with the food truck business and have generally seen 2 employees working one truck. One person takes orders and collects money while the other person just cooks their ass off. In this particular truck, there were 3 people - 2 cooking/prepping food and 1 cashier. However, after each single order the cashier took, he went to help the cooks prep the orders and handed them out. This made for a very long and slow-moving line. I'm not sure what the process is in that truck, but it can definitely be made more efficient. Some people ended up going to the other trucks, even though they were more expensive and maybe not as good, just because the lines were shorter. read more

MoBowl is new to the food truck scene as far as I know, but you wouldn't guess that for various reasons: professional service, incredible food, reasonable prices. I'm fortunate to see that these guys have been posting very close to my work since they've started, and today, some friends and I decided to finally try it. I wasn't sure what to expect, and maybe you're not either -- but let me tell you -- this is not your typical themed food truck roaming around. First of all, the food is different -- bowls. There are small and large bowls. I was pretty content/satisfied after my large pulled pork bowl and a soda. The only reason I ate a little more is because my friends let me try their stuff. The large pulled pork bowl has 5 spices. There was a TON of meat in my bowl. The veggies were light -- something I loved because let's face it, we want the meat/tofu, not so much a bowl of veggies (well, unless that's your thing I suppose). The meat was so juicy and tender and the rice was perfection (I've had bad rice before). I scraped that plastic bowl clean. Next up, I tried the angel wings which are sweet and sour with a touch of mint. I was worried about an overpowered taste of mint, but it was barely there -- the sauce on the wings was INCREDIBLE! Lastly, I tried the cheesecake eggrolls, and I died right there on the sidewalk. I didn't try the sauces that came with it to dip in, but my friends said they were pineapple and mango -- pretty sweet deal. The staff that day was one guy taking orders, the other cooking -- and my food didn't take long at all, and the pricing was very reasonable. Friendly people, professional service, and overall just a great lunch experience. The only problem with going back is that as much as I'd like to try the other items, I'm immensely content with my pulled pork bowl -- I want to order it (and maybe those wings too if I can stomach it!) every time I go!! Hahaha. Welcome to the food truck industry, MoBowl, you're already familiar and comfortable in my book. Check out some of my pictures I posted! read more
