We are at this food truck when it was parked in brewery central in Ballard. Firstly, the menu is simple, which I appreciate, as it cuts down on all the decisions you have to make. We all got Banh Mi sandwiches, which I felt were super reasonably priced at $9.25. The food came out very quickly and I have to admit, I was blown away by this sandwich. The lemongrass pork was deliciously seasoned and well cooked and the bites of crunchy, pickled vegetables were divine! I'd recommend this food truck to anyone passing by read more

This is one of my new favorite food trucks in the Seattle area. High quality food. Here's a rundown on what I've had: -Banh Mi (with pork) -- 10/10, a fantastic banh mi with a good amount of meat. The pickled veggies are fresh and the bread is soft but flaky on the outside. Will definitely be ordering again. -Kabocha Curry (with tofu) -- 7/10, tofu is very good, somewhat lackluster in the vegetable department (only a few pieces of kabocha, some green and red pepper). The sauce is a little thin for my tastes, and somewhat oily. There's decent flavor but zero heat (not that it's advertised as spicy at all, but I wish it had a little kick). Next time I will probably try it with chicken. --Cripsy Garlic Chicken (with white rice) -- 7/10, chicken itself is 10/10--perfectly crispy and juicy, and flavorful, but there's no sauce (other than what the chicken itself is coated in) and so it's just white rice and some side salad. If I were to order again I'd try this with the chili garlic noodles ($2 more) instead. --Flank steak (as a side) -- 9/10, this is normally meant to be an add-on for a banh mi, but I asked for it as a side on its own. Really yummy steak strips that are already marinated, so I just ate them straight out of the box. While they'd also be good in a banh mi, I think the banh mi is best served with the pork (though I bet tofu would work well too, assuming it's the same style of fried tofu I had in my curry) --Egg Roll (single) -- 10/10, crispy and stuffed to the brim with ground pork filling. Next time I'm getting 4! Want to try: --Potstickers --Chili Garlic Noodle TL;DR: Follow MomoXpress on IG (@momoxpressfoodtruck), look at their weekly schedule (part of their IG stories) and go when they are scheduled to be in your area and give them some business. You'll be happy you did! read more

Stopped at this food truck when it was parked across the street from our apartment. Luckily I got to it before the lunchtime rush, it certainly seems to be a popular truck. Everything was delicious, and it's nice that they take Apple Pay. They also give you the handheld buzzers to let you know when your food is ready.

Momo catered a baby shower for 45 people and the food was incredible - people were raving. We had fresh tofu spring rolls, fried pork egg rolls, crispy garlic chicken, chicken and tofu banh mi sandwiches, and tofu and beef vermicelli noodles with oodles of fresh greens, fish sauce and peanut sauce. Duy, the owner, was easy to communicate with, gave us good advice on portions, and arrived right on time for set up. Would highly recommend! read more

WOW what a find!! I'm Vietnamese and this food is NGON AF -- that's delicious in Viet! My husband discovered this by driving by the truck in Ballard, and ordered com thit nuong (rice with grilled pork), bo luc lac (shaken beef), and banh mi. The food is legit, authentic, and so tasty flavorful!! Soo much umami. Makes me miss my home Southern California. So glad they're in truck form so that I can enjoy delicious Viet food in North Seattle outside of the International District, which is a further drive. I highly recommend Momo and will be following them around from now on. read more

The pictures of this place look great- I mean even their Tofu looks stunning! So, I was roped in, and made arrangements to give it a shot when they were nearby my work. I suppose I will says they deserve points for being "fresh", because I waited exactly 15 minutes from the time the charge went through in my phone to the time they called my name. However, for a food truck when I'm visiting on my 30 minute lunch break, the amount of time I am left with to return to my office and actually eat was 5 minutes. I was not pleased. (There was one man in front of me.... that's it. He ordered a tofu bowl.... and he also waited 15 minutes....) I got the pineapple chicken. During the 5 minutes I had to sample my food, I found it lacking any flavor. The texture was good- the chicken not over fried or tough, but just no flavor at all. I ate the rest of my meal in bites over the next half hour, but it didn't change the flavor. I don't recommend trying this spot unless you have ample time. And I don't recommend the pineapple chicken. read more

I had a great experience with Momo Express - we brought them to our campus to cater lunch one day for a large workshop we were hosting. Their catering menu was diverse enough to meet most dietary restrictions and they were able to adapt on the fly for couple of folks that had more complicated sensitivities. The team was lovely to work with, and the food was awesome. I had the vermicelli salad but heard rave reviews about the chicken rice bowls and the banh mi. I would certainly recommend Momo Express for your catering needs! Thanks again, Duy and team. read more

Momo express was parked outside my doctor's office so I thought I'd see where they ranked on my quest for the best banh mi in Seattle. I got the lemongrass pork. The meat was really flavorful and there were ample veggies. However the bread was lacking. It was soft and chewy - I was missing the crunch you'll find at other shops in town. Bonus points for having deep fried pot stickers but demerits for them looking as if they were straight from a bag bought from Costco. read more

Momo express is fantastic. I ordered a pork banh mi, and a tofu vermicelli bowl. Both were amazing. The owner was extremely nice, and recommended adding a fried egg to my banh mi (I asked him what the best thing he made was). The egg was fantastic on the banh mi, and the pork was marinated and cooked perfectly. The tofu almost looked like chicken, it was so good, and both were great portions. I'll definitely look for this truck again, and would highly recommend! read more

This food truck comes regularly to the parking lot of the Broadview Tap House, 125th/Greenhood. Anyway, I'm sitting here now, chillin with a beer, and I'm groovin' with a Bahn Mi (sp?) Sammy. Sometimes it's easy to to get crazy on a Yelp review of a place, but that is not my intent. Please take this as things to consider improving on. For a food truck you have a fairly diverse menu, and it all sounds SUPER tasty! The service was with a smile, and order was ready QUICK. My main thought is that the Bahn Mi, is really underwhelming. Baguette is toasted well, but try to find an artisan bakery baguette.. this looks a little like something from Hostess/Wonder bread, etc. you want CHEWY, scratch your hard palette etc. Your Bahn Mi internals are basically just chicken, cucumber, cilantro, maybe? A little onion? However... this is #1 tip!! You gotta put fried egg on it, and some kind of secret sauce! Some kinda Vietnamese secret sauce. And... yours is awfully SKINNY! Stack this thing up! It should be falling out the sides. Currently when Bahn mi is closed, you cannot see anything from the inside. It just looks like a piece of Baguette. Right now the Sammy is just chicken, cilantro, and cucumber.. it tastes SORTA like a Bahn Mi, if you dream.. but it is dry, and needs Vietnamese secret sauce. And the fried egg is like the star on a Christmas tree. OK, I'm still in your court. I will return and try something different. read more

Two stars is probably generous, but I save one-star reviews for the truly heinous dining experiences. Ordered from the food truck in Shoreline today: squash curry with chicken, short rib banh mi, potstickers, and egg rolls. For close to $50 (with tip), I was expecting something good. The appetizers were definitely not homemade, and waaaaay overpriced for their one-bite proportions. The curry was described as meh-to-adequate and on the meager side. The sandwich was hands down the worst banh mi I've ever not finished. Flavorless bread. Beef with the consistency of a grade school eraser. Soggy, warm veg. Just bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. Add to the experience 35 minute wait to order and pick. Just, no. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Trained with chefs specializing in the art of Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese cooking, I try to incorporate elements from all three cuisines into my own food. My cooking is primarily focused on popular Vietnamese dishes and traditional flavors with a modern twist. Fresh and locally sourced herbs and vegetables are fundamental to the food that I make and are the base for many of my dishes

History

Established in 2019.

Growing up in Ho Chi Minh City, I ate some of the best and freshest Asian street food in the world. I have memories of indulging in a bowl of Pho Bo — beef noodle soup, bursting with umami flavors, and bitting into a lemongrass pork Banh Mi on my way home from school. These memories and my passion for food have inspired me to create Momo Express, named after my cat, Momo. Through my business, I want to bring a modern take on traditional Vietnamese street food to every corner of Seattle.

Meet the Manager: Duy L.

My decision to venture into the culinary world was brought up by memories of my childhood and passion for food. I want to share that passion through every dish that I make — by offering you classic Vietnamese street food with a modern twist on traditional flavors using freshly sourced local ingredients.

TASTE/FLAVOR: great, fresh ingredients (pickled carrots and daikon) and yummy marinated tofu that had a sweet kind of sauce on it (maybe it was the mayo?!) the bread was fabulous consistency and crunch. PRICE: for the size and quality, the price was quite reasonable! this is dangerous to know about, considering it's on the peninsula and will help with the cravings when they strike. the only downfall is that parking is difficult. you may need to park a block away and walk since there's only spaces for 3-4 cars in front. while i was there, i literally saw a couple of cars double park to run in and grab their orders so maybe regulars know to expect that. pro tip: do not stand or park between a hungry person and their banh mi order

Upon arrival to our house, the order was incorrect, whoopsie! We called back and the waiter who answered mentioned that we had accidentally taken a staff meal home. None of our to-go boxes were labeled. How could anyone know? This is a rookie mistake. It's been a while since this Goblin worked in food, but that's a non-negotiable. Especially given a place that prides itself on catering to restricted diets and lifestyles. This is exactly how you let a pumpkin seed slide into a seed allergy order. Instead of letting us keep the meal, she asked us to bring it back to the restaurant. We were happy to do so. Everyone deserves to eat. Should we have kept it for ourselves? We bring the food back, and the waiter explains that there was a mixup, and apologized. They handed us another to-go box (which wasn't labeled) and tried to end the conversation. "Have a good night!" We had to then explain to this waiter that our wives demanded something in return for the error, which was true. The waiter/bartender had a puzzled look on their face. Customer? Demanding I make something right? In my workplace?! A direct statement void of passivity about the quality of my service? With conditions? The audacity! We live in a world where we, the customer, bring back your incorrect order for you, waste our time, and we just get a, "thanks, have a good night!" This goblin had to claw his way up the ranks pillaging for gold which doesn't come easy. Everyone knows food cost in Seattle went up ~%46 since 2019. Wages haven't. We told the waiter our wives wanted a slice of cake. The waiter was shook by our audacity, and moved towards the fridge behind the bar to consult with two chefs who were shutting it down. We were arriving near/at close on a Monday. The other two chefs body language exuded "just give them the rest of the cake". There was a couple moments of pause and hushed conversation. The waiter pulled out a large serving plate with only a small chunk of Chocolate Mousse Cake left. Instead of putting that into a box, apologizing, and fixing the problem. They conferred about the legitimacy of our claim with the chefs. Hesitantly, they cut the cake into a small slice, put it in a box (which wasn't labeled) and handed it to us. What's hilarious is that they would leave such a small piece going into the next day of prep. Why not just 86 it right there? Why was it so hard for this person to acknowledge they made a mistake, and do something kind for us in return? The chefs clearly understood these fundamental building blocks of customer service, had they not been there in the front of house, I'm sure the waiter would've made an excuse to not remedy the situation. From all of my years in food service, if something is wrong, you make it right, end of story. By owning the error, you keep your integrity. Even a small gesture like 10% off one item, between the hours of 7:35pm- 7:45pm every third Monday, however inconsequential and trivial, makes people feel like you've made things right. These basics need to be addressed with FOH staff. With food cost nearing the price of rent each month in Seattle, customers should feel empowered to speak their mind respectfully. My only reason for going into excruciating detail is the hope that this can be a teaching moment, and more people can eradicate passivity. Passivity is a threat to community, culture, service, and so many other integral parts of our society. It's OK to disagree in public. It's OK to check someone. It's OK to tell your server "No, honestly, it wasn't that good, here's why..". When we deny the truth about our experiences for fear of disrupting the status quo, we withhold an essential part of building stronger, more diverse and resilient communities. "Goblin D, don't you think this is a bit too deep for a food review?" No, and if you've made it this far, the two stars are for the two chefs who made sure we got our cake.

I got the vermicelli bowl and the noodles and veggies weren't fresh. The noodles were getting on the dry side and veggies taste like it was going to go bad soon. The tofu was pretty good though and I do like the chili oil. Service was good as well, since I got the tofu one, they made sure I was aware that it won't come with fish sauce since it was assumed it was for vegetarian. The food was pretty mediocre in my opinion and for the high price, i don't think it's worth it.

I had such a wonderful experience with Peninsula Soul Food!…read more I drove about 40 minutes because I'd heard great things and, since I'm not from Seattle, I mistakenly thought it was a sit-down restaurant. I was initially disappointed to learn it's takeout and delivery only, but that disappointment disappeared the moment I tasted the food. The customer service was truly above and beyond. I wish I had gotten the name of the amazing woman who helped me because she made the experience memorable. She was incredibly kind and welcoming. The food was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. I was fortunate enough to try the mac and cheese, and it did not disappoint. I also got to taste both the banana pudding and the peach cobbler before deciding which dessert to purchase. Of course, I ended up buying both! Now, let me talk about that peach cobbler. It's surprisingly hard to find a really good one. Many are too watery, overloaded with cinnamon, or have an overpowering nutmeg flavor. This one was perfectly balanced. The crust-to-filling ratio was just right, and as someone who loves a good crust, I was impressed. The banana pudding was equally delicious. The portion sizes were generous, the food quality was excellent, and the service made me feel appreciated as a customer. I honestly believe this business deserves tremendous support. If you've been thinking about trying them, do it. Small businesses work hard for every customer, and this one earned my respect. Sometimes if you have an issue with a business, it's worth giving them the opportunity to make it right before leaving a damaging review. Based on my experience, Peninsula Soul Food genuinely cares about its customers. I'll definitely be back!
