    Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken with Spring Salad and Garlic Noodles (+$1)
    Mike L.

    Now that the new/novel feeling of food trucks has come and gone, it's not hard for me to see why some of my friends have lost their enthusiasm for them. The food can be gimmicky, the lines can get long, some are way overhyped, they can be pricey...totally get it. However, while I certainly don't disagree, I have to say - I'm still a fan! Whenever I see one I've yet to try, I'm (almost) always down to check them out. Not to mention the fact that the sheer number of them spread around the Financial District and SoMa always makes it easy to find something new to Yelp about...ha! Before stumbling across MoBowl, I actually knew nothing about these guys. After looking them up on Yelp and scrolling through their photos, though, it didn't take me long to get genuinely excited about trying them out. The menu seems simple, but they've got plenty of options - first choose one (or two) of the eight proteins they have to offer, then two of their five sides. All told, there are numerous creations you can make, suiting whatever your taste buds are craving for. -- SWEET & SPICY FRIED CHICKEN (Breaded Boneless, Skinless Chicken, Sweet & Spicy Glaze, Sesame Seeds, Scallions) with SPRING SALAD (with a Sesame Sambal Vinaigrette) and GARLIC NOODLES (+$1)...$12 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mobowl-mountain-view?select=iDoBSsWSo2JzkwQmyDVOCQ) Pretty damn tasty! The chicken was juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside (even despite being only lightly battered), and not overly dressed with the glaze (which was pretty flavorful). As for the sides, the salad was more or less fine, but I liked how garlicky the noodles were. -- FIVE SPICED PULLED PORK (Braised Pork, Five Spice Mix, Sriracha Aioli, Scallions) with BROWN RICE and GARLIC NOODLES (+$1)...$11 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mobowl-mountain-view?select=YxzHimkmZvySY_8GYU4X5Q) Not bad, though the fried chicken was better. The pork was flavorful and complemented nicely by the aioli, but it was a little heavy on the five spice and a shade dry. It didn't help that the noodles fell a little flat this time around (some strands were kind of tough). Beyond the food, I also liked how MoBowl's price sare actually pretty reasonable, particularly by food truck standards. While they're probably slightly higher than what you can find at brick & mortar restaurants, $11-$12 for a garlic noodle "bowl" isn't too shabby at all. Add in the more unique protein offerings and it's a pretty solid value for the Financial District and SoMa! All in all, despite feeling more impressed with them the first time around, I was still more than satisfied by both of my orders here. At the very least, they definitely provide a nice reprieve from the daily routine of salads, soups, and sandwiches! THREE AND A HALF STARS ROUNDED UP.

    5 spice pulled pork with white rice and garlic noodles
    Clarence A.

    Brisbane food truck finder no longer works so we have to walk or drive by and see what brisbane now offers in regards to food trucks, today mobowl was offered never tried it so figured take a look at the menu and give em a shot. First option listed on to was a vegetarian option... pass, hahaha next was five spice pulled pork, beef option and a fried chicken option. Sadly the fried chicken was sold out so I stuck with the five spice pulled pork, paired with white rice and garlic noodles all together plate cost $12, decent portioned food Here are the likes and dislikes of the plate, portion was good for what your paying it decent amount of food. The dislike would be with the 5 spice pulled pork, seasoning wise it was decent nothing over powering each other especially with the white rice and the garlic noodle, sadly the meat was slightly dense and dry, maybe it is because I ordered later in the day around 1pm but hey dense is clear indication that the meat has been sitting out for awhile. If I do venture back to this truck I would like to sample the fried chicken option, usually that is made to order I was told, but everything else was good, white rice portion was good, it was sticky, the garlic noodles were interesting, some of the noodles were undercooked, but most of it was nicely done, semi hard noodles with garlic flavoring drizzled on for these guys, I would come back and try other plates, primarily the fried chicken, again food was good, I may have to come earlier if I want fresher 5 spice pulled pork food *** price $$ service *****

    5 spice pulled pork with seasoned fries and salad-- dank. ( this was a salty combo ,should have gotten rice)
    Lydia Z.

    Very reminiscent of the asian ghetto food in Berkeley. Dank, cheap, and fast. If you like heavily seasoned food, this place isn't bad, but the prices seem high for the type of food they serve (panda express/star wok/americanized asian food). I read that they were known for their 5-spice pulled pork so that's what I got. You are supposed to choose 2 sides with the meal so I chose salad and fries. Ended up paying $11 but I don't think the meal is worth any more than $7. First off, their house sauce has a watery base (probably soy sauce) which floods the bottom of the box and it's rather salty and overwhelming with the salad. The fries are your regular frozen bulk fries-some of which were not fully cooked and cold on the inside and they soak up flavor from the salad sauce and the pork (bleh). The pulled pork was disappointing. I had expected some juicy and spice-infused pork but this pork was a bit dry, way too sweet, and the only juice came from the oil/sauce(unknown what kind of sauce it was). They might have had added ground up spices (anise, cinnamon, cloves, pepper) but with all the other seasoning they added (sugar for sure), I couldn't really understand what I was tasting other than heavily spiced pork. I don't really trust this food truck enough to come back and try other dishes. And as I'm writing this review, I'm getting thirstier and thirstier. Such a dehydrating meal with all that DANK.

    I'll update my review once I have the galbijjim. The fried chicken and biscuits were wonderful. The chicken meat was juicy but not greasy in the least and had little fat, mostly meat. If you're contemplating whether to try their new ordering option, based on my experience, I'd say DO IT. The food is great, the people really amazing and I definitely hope they are here when COVID is not.

    Food was not the best but when your tipsy and starving it will do. If I had to have it again I would just order the fries and garlic noodles. Service was awsome but food was cold and bland.

    Garlic noodles, 5 spice pulled pork, honey black pepper steak, fries, chicken bites, and white rice topped with sriracha
    Jay G.

    To kick off a milestone at our company, we were fortunate enough to have MoBowl cater our company lunch. As much as I wanted to have a buffet of Mobowl, we were only limited to certain items. Some of the items aren't listed on their regular menu. So, the items I got for my bowl were: - 5 spice pulled pork - Chicken bites - Honey black pepper steak - Garlic noodles - French fries - White rice All the items were packed into a to go box and fitted perfectly. The meats were tender and flavorful. The garlic noodles were soft and had a light garlic taste. The fries were on the soggy side due to the pulled pork placed on top of them. And the white rice was cooked perfect. I kinda ruined my picture by placing sriracha on my food. Thank you MoBowl for the great food. Too bad I couldn't go for seconds, thirds, or fourths!

    Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken w/ Garlic Noodles and Seasoned Fries
    Adam B.

    This truck reminded me of Hiyaaa!!, so I was quite excited to try it. You pick from differently seasoned proteins served over your choice of carbs. My favorite item from Hiyaaa!! is the spicy fried chicken bites over fries, so I got the same thing here as a benchmark comparison. Sadly, it was very much "Meh. I've experienced better.", hence the 2 stars. Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken: The chicken was really dense and tough. The breading felt like a halfhearted battering you'd get from a mediocre fish & chips joint. The sweet & spicy sauce was nice, but was only sparsely drizzled on. Sadly, you can get better glazed fried chicken at Panda Express. Garlic Noodles: Not terribly garlicky. Some of the sweet & spicy sauce dripped on the noodles, masking any flavor they may have had by themselves. The texture was a nice al dente, but it just had no personality. Seasoned Fries: Not terribly seasoned. Kinda just run-of-the-mill fries like you might get a nondescript pub.

    Five-Spice Pulled Pork (braised pork, 5 spice, honey, siracha aioli) - 3.5 stars (Off the Grid at 5th/Townsend, Friday lunch 2015-03-13)
    Ziyan C.

    I tried MoBowl at Off the Grid at 5th and Townsend on a Friday. MoBowl by far had the longest line so I had to try it out. Their line still moved fast and our food came out within minutes. COST: $21 total for 2 bowls, a filling lunch for two. * Umami Tofu (Vegan. Organic tofu, shitakes & tomato compote w/ scallions & sesame seeds) - 3 stars pic, w/ salad side: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mobowl-mountain-view?select=ZITD7QDJFiM3J3FZUF9n1Q#oYwz8Z-5Vr7bPbIxXTThKA The sauce was too americanized, like a generic sweet & sour. The tofu was quite hard. I thought the asparagus was random and seemed out of place. My veg friend really liked this though. * Five-Spice Pulled Pork (braised pork, 5 spice, honey, siracha aioli) - 3.5 stars pic, w/ garlic noodle side: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mobowl-mountain-view?select=ZITD7QDJFiM3J3FZUF9n1Q#ZITD7QDJFiM3J3FZUF9n1Q Not very spicy, a bit dry, but still tasty, and much better than the Umami Tofu. The noodles were soft and garlic-y as promised; also quite oily (that pool of oil at the bottom of the container isn't super appetizing).

    Again, mentioned my customer experience in my SJ Eats review so this will be based purely on taste and it was great tasting indeed. I had my tofu bowl yesterday after a few days of it sitting in the fridge.. the steamed white rice, the tofu.. still soft and delicious although I did throw away the lettuce and cucumber slices; my fault since I knew I wasn't going to eat it right away. Though I ordered the cheesecake eggrolls, I did not have any.. my Mom took it and ate both in one sitting and said that it tasted very good- also after it being in the fridge for a few days.. I will enjoy my Hari Cari today and will update my review for that. Again, awesome service from this truck.

    Bacon blue burger with serrano chiles
    Cindy M.

    If food trucks offer eats this awesome I would gladly travel to the corners of each nearby town to partake in creations that make you happier with every bite. I just had a bacon blue burger that was all that and a bag of chips. So tender and juicy with grilled onions mixed greens, and thick, crispy bacon doused with a homemade blue cheese dressing on a toasted brioche bun. Being a spice addict, I asked for them to oblige with sliced serrano peppers. Hot hot hot! On to the star of the day. Pork belly tacos. Not only was I reminiscing on the smoky pork and fresh flavors of the pineapple salsa for days, but this could easily be a meal that I would request before I die. We were literally fighting over who got the last bite. It's always a day to celebrate when every morsel is worth savoring. Mmmm. Now I have to find out when/where this food truck will be.

    Pulled Pork with Egg
    Sandy K.

    Definitely worth trying out MoBowl! I ordered the Hari Cari Chicken Curry with Garlic Noodles and White Rice. It was a delicious meal! Lots of flavors on the meat and noodles, which was great. I was a little surprised at the mix of savory and sweet flavors, but I enjoyed it. I only took off one star because I thought the white rice was a little too mushy, but other than that I enjoyed my meal. They give you a great amount of food, so I ate my meal for both lunch and dinner. I highly recommend this food truck (:

    5 spice pulled pork, garlic noodles and fries with aioli $11
    Benita M.

    Wow long lines for this truck! Food is made somewhat quickly. 5 spice pulled pork garlic noodles and fries $11. Garlic noodles weren't special IMO. Just a hint of garlic taste. Fries topped with aioli sauce was delicious. The fries were already a little seasoned so even without the sauce, it is still good. Pulled pork was cooked nicely. Next time, I'd skip the noodles and get double the fries!

If you can boil water in a pot, you can make the noodles based on the instruction with this noodles kit. The rice crispy gave an excellent crunch.

The noodles texture is lovely, it has a chewy (or the Taiwanese/Chinese known as "QQ") bite to it.

I usually also get the honey walnut shrimp when I want something a little sweeter to balance everything out, but if you're trying this place for the first time, you really can't go wrong with the dry fried chicken and Szechuan spicy beef.

He had the black bean spicy fish with white rice, and I chose the mapo tofu with fried rice. Each lunch came with tea, a cup of hot and sour soup, and an egg roll. The soup really stood out. It wasn't just a thin broth with a few scraps floating around. It was a genuine, comforting hot and sour soup with real ingredients in every spoonful. That alone made the meal feel thoughtful and complete. The portions were satisfying and well balanced, and everything arrived hot and fresh. My husband enjoyed his fish, which had good flavor and a nice texture. The mapo tofu was exactly how I like it. The tofu held its shape, which made a big difference. I do not enjoy overly soft tofu that falls apart, and this had a firmer bite that worked really well with the sauce. The dish was clean tasting, with a steady heat that was noticeable but not overwhelming. It had spice, but it did not overpower the dish or linger too aggressively. There was no pork, which I appreciated, and it still felt complete and satisfying without it. What made this meal especially meaningful for me is that I had just gotten out of the hospital a week ago after dealing with malnutrition, dehydration, and several health issues. I had not been eating well and had lost over 80 pounds in the past year. This was the first full, nourishing meal I have truly been able to enjoy in a long time. For the first time in months, I did not feel weak or fragile afterward. I felt full, steady, and strong. That kind of experience goes beyond just good food. It felt restorative. It felt like care. From what others often say, this place has built a strong reputation for bold Sichuan flavors that are still approachable. People tend to mention the generous portions, the consistent quality, and the fact that the spice levels are flavorful rather than overwhelming. It is the kind of spot that draws both regulars and first time visitors who are looking for something reliable and satisfying. Spicy House gave me more than just a meal. They gave me a moment of comfort and strength when I really needed it. We will absolutely be back.

The noodles itself were coated in a semi sweet sauce that had a delicious soy flavor. * Duck curry: WOW the most tender duck dish I ever had, no notes! * Kaya jam with coconut ice cream: Creamy, fluffy, and a great way to end a meal. This dish is so hard to explain in words, you have to get it. Overall, amazing spot, amazing find, would wait 2 hours again for a third time :)

    Long wait times, but great tasting food! I reserved a table for a party of 2 around 6pm on a…read moreMonday, and it took over 2 hours for us to get seated. If you decide to dine here, please be aware of the long wait times. Overall, the food was delicious. We got these items: 1. Duck Breast Curry: does not come with rice, but the curry and duck breast was flavorful and delicious -not too spicy -great saucy consistency with the curry -duck breast is tender and not too fatty 2. Khao soi (with beef): tender steak-like beef, curry and noodles taste fresh -also not too spicy -noodles are cooked thoroughly yet also coats the curry sauce well -not too salty Overall, I think the food here is very delicious and is a great option for Thai food! However, I don't think it is worth a 2+ hour wait if you want to eat fast. The prices are also slightly higher than other places, for two people it was ~$70 total ($35 per person).

    We love visiting taishan cuisine in Chinatown, so we were excited to find one near our house on…read moreOcean Ave. food was mostly delicious, except the claypot rice didn't have enough meat nor flavor until I asked for sauce (I can't tell if he just forgot to bring it?). The A-choy portion was big compared to a lot of other Chinese restaurants and the pepperiness of the tripe soup really hit. Service was good despite it being one waiter serving the whole restaurant. Not exactly the cleanest place, but I'm not really looking for ambiance when coming to a Chinese restaurant. We'd come back when the Taishan food cravings hit, but be sure to order the eel claypot early because they run out, even on a random Tuesday night. And I hope our next claypot rice has enough sizzle and crunchy rice bits

    This is a relatively new spot on Ocean and I've been meaning to check it out for a bit. It was a…read morecold night and this seemed like a great time to check it out. Its simply decorated but I wasn't there for that, I was there for Taishan cuisine! I ordered the veggie eggrolls along with the Eel and Chinese Sausage clay pot. I haven't eaten claypot in forever and this did not disappoint! Along with the named ingredients were ginger slices and porkbelly, a pretty great combo. The service was fast, menus were easy to understand and not voluminous like some of the other places I like. Defo coming back with friends.
