Dirty eating area. Only can imagine what the kitchen looks like. I do not care about drinking beer at a chicken spot. I'll go to a pub or a brewery read more

I like the gimmick of serving all things duck, which often gets overlooked due to the ubiquitous chicken. I was really interested in trying the foie gras ramen, but, alas, it wasn't being served that day (despite being listed on the LCD menu). Not really a place to go if you're super hungry since the portions tend to be a bit small. But what you do get is ducking flavorful. Duck Pastrami: The actual pastrami was pretty darn tasty. It had all the spices of beef pastrami, but with the subtle gaminess of duck. Very thinly sliced. The bun was soft and chewy. The mustard gave a nice kick, but I couldn't taste the onion that strongly. Duck Fat Fries: Crispy all around with soft insides. At first I swore I could taste the duck fat, but they kinda started tasting like regular fries after a few bites. Liked the spicy ketchup; tasted like it had harissa or something in it. read more

Pluck - Duck Pastrami w/ Duck Fat Fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Fremont, California

Finally got to try Pluck when they were at Off The Grid Foster City and they pretty much met my expectations. What else can I expect from a truck focused on duck entrees? They have Duck Ramen, Duck Tacos, Duck Pastrami Sandwiches, and Duck Fat Fries. It's a pretty straightforward spread but I like the creativity with each one. Granted though, duck isn't exactly an everyday ingredient, so the prices are a little more on the premium side. Duck Confit Tacos -- http://bit.ly/1UGWELT House made Duck Confit, salsa verde, pickled red onions, cotija cheese These tacos were good! You probably can't it in the pic, but these tacos were loaded with duck confit. Smoked Duck Ramen -- http://bit.ly/1iwLGwp House smoked Duck Breast, duck broth, pickled shiitake mushrooms, 63 degree egg, daikon sprouts, green onions, black sesame seeds. At $14, this was pretty pricey for ramen, but it's understandable since duck costs a lot more than chashu. It was still a solid bowl of ramen though and the smoked duck had a lot of flavor and you gotta love the runny egg! So yeah, a very solid first experience with Pluck. Unfortunately during this visit, they only had an abbreviated menu. They didn't have their famous duck pastrami sandwich or their foie gras ramen, so hopefully they'll have it on their menu when I visit them again in the near future. read more

Pluck is a truck specializing in duck. No line to get stuck at lunchtime, what luck! Mmm Pastrami Duck tasted 4 stars, no buck. But size of a hockey puck srsly what the ----! read more

Tried Pluck today for lunch, while they were at the G lounge in SOMA. There was no wait, service was good, and the food was ready pretty quickly. I ordered the smoked duck ramen, which overall was pretty good as far as food truck ramen goes. The broth was really flavorful, duck nice and tender, and the mushrooms were great (not sure what kind they are but LOVED whatever they marinated it in). The taste and texture of the noodles were a bit off and the poached egg didn't quite break in the right way. However apart from that I'd say pretty decent ramen. They also offer it with foie gras on some days, which I imagine would be pretty tasty as well! My friend also ordered the duck fat poutine, which was basic but good. Loved the gravy and addition of the green onions, but not sure if I'd order it again. Overall a pretty decent experience. I recommend going if you're as much of a duck lover as I am! read more

I have to say Im a bit disappointed in the ramen. The Duck itself was excellent. The pickled mushrooms interesting. But the noodles and broth were just ok. For $8 it's a pretty small portion. I had to go get some more food after. Can I just get $8 of pure duck next time? read more

I ordered the pastrami sandwich with duck fat fries. It was great and I'm glad I gave this truck a try. My fries were overly salty. I'm not sure if it's the nature of it, but the sandwich was so good, the fries didn't even matter. $10 total read more

Pluck - Pastrami sandwich and duck fat fries $10 - Food Trucks Near Me - Fremont, California

This review marks the first one under a new system that I am using where I will no longer be using a point deduction system but rather, given everything about the place: price, quality, service, would I return to this place? I am using this new system after I noticed that there were some places I've reviewed that received the same number of stars as other places that I like ten times better. Therefore, while it may result in harsher ratings, I feel like it will be a more accurate system. The rating system will be as follows: 5 stars - One of my favorites places; I would recommend this place to someone 4 stars - I would return to this place 3 stars - The only time I would come to this place is if there were no other options. 2 stars - I think this place should seriously reevaluate their business or shut down 1 star - Enough said (I hope I don't have to ever deliver such a rating.) Now with that being said, Pluck definitely fits the five star category. The service is very friendly, typical of most food trucks and while the price is a little high for the amount of food you get, the items are delicious. I got the duck pastrami and the duck taco. I do wish that I had added a bit of siracha to the taco as I like a little bit of spice, but it was still good nonetheless. Duck tends to be a little fatty, which definitely boosted the flavor of the sandwich and the taco. I now always look forward to when this food truck shows up at Moveable Feast! read more

Tasty and decadent duck based dishes. However, the long wait takes away from this food truck's experience. Granted, it was during Picnic in the Presidio but the wait was definitely longer than the other establishments/vendors. And, $10 for a small slider and a handful of fries seems steep. read more

Really nice presentation.... I was super excited to have a duck confit taco, unfortunately there just wasn't any explosion of flavors. Nothing stood out. All four of us were quite disappointed. read more

Pluck - Duck confit taco - Food Trucks Near Me - Fremont, California

I associate intense, rich, fatty flavor with duck. I immediately jumped in line to try Duck Ramen at Off the Grid Picnic. They're incredibly friendly but the ramen was rather disappointing. The duck itself was good and i enjoyed the poached egg. Ramen is all about the broth though! My ramen expectations are pretty high from living in the bay area and southern california. The broth lacked flavor and the duck couldn't hold up again it. I think a duck truck is great though and I'll have to come back and try their sandwiches. read more

Tried two orders of their duck tacos and I could've eaten 10 more!!! It was that good. We went ahead and ordered their duck ramen, duck pastrami sandwich, and more tacos. Everything is delicious and the duck has great flavor. They made us a fan and this is one of the best food trucks around. read more

Duck from the Pluck Truck has more Cowbell! Wow! I've visited San Jose many times on business and eaten at many of the finest restaurants from SJC to SFC and this was one of best tasting meals ever! No, I'm not kidding. Pluck, btw I love the name, was 'playing' at the SoFA Supper Night in downtown San Jose. The Pluck truck really stands out. It's clean, modern and sleek. The flat gray paint and cool logo just looks cool. And after you taste their food, you'll be a fan. If they don't sell T-shirts, they should. The food from Pluck was delicious. Complex flavors, perfectly balanced - delicious! I tried the ramen noodles and the duck tacos. I went back to order more tacos and they had sold out. So, I tried the duck fried rice. Loved it all! I typically wouldn't order duck, but I like to try new things. The duck was delicious, tender and slightly smokey and the pickled onions on the tacos, oh my! I will definitely search out the Pluck truck on my next visit. I know I will have a craving, that not even more cowbell can cure. Only duck from the Pluck Truck will satisfy my cravings! read more

I've ordered the duck confit tacos twice at OtG's Picnic at the Presidio. Both times the food was delicious, served quickly, and priced reasonably ($6 for 2 tacos). Service is also very friendly here. I look forward to returning and trying some of their other duck specialties! read more

It was completely with the 45 minute drive to meet up with the Pluck truck in San Anselmo. The subtle pickled onions and perky salsa verde combined with the duck to make a superb taco. And who cannot like Fried Rice when it contains morsels of smoked duck breast sprinkled with soy & hoisin sauces and much more tastiness. Check out their upcoming appearances at Off The Grid around the Bay Area -- http://www.pluckmenu.com/ read more

The duck tacos are filled with lean, crispy duck that is topped with pickled red onions that are very good and an aioli type sauce. Best eaten right off the truck. We brought two home to eat the next day and the taco shells became hard. If you have never had duck before or habitually avoid duck, this is a good place to try it. read more

Duck pastrami?! Yes please! Amazing flavor combo with the perfectly cooked smoky duck, savory onion jam, and slightly sweet brioche bun. The food truck at the presidio was small but oh so worth it. read more

Great gourmet duck options in the food truck category. I tried their duck pastrami, and it was delicious. They also make some of their condiments homemade with some gourmet homemade ingredients. This speaks for creativeness for being a pro chef in such a difficult industry to get in. Food specialties that has duck on every menu, maybe in the future they should have a dessert dedicated with duck fat or something. :) read more

I ordered the smoked duck ramen ($14) at Off The Grid in Cupertino. The duck had a strange taste that I wasn't familiar with but the broth was delicious - perfect for the cooler weather! The staff was friendly and fast. Overall, it was a great dinner. I can't wait to come back and try the duck fat poutine! read more

And on the 8th day, the food gods gave us duck. Seriously though, you take the best parts of chicken and steak, and you get duck. So kudos to these people for realizing the awesomeness that is duck and making a whole food truck around it! I had the duck fried rice and the duck tacos. The fried rice was average. The tacos were stellar. So I give Pluck an average of 4 stars, and will absolutely be back to try whatever new duck dishes they come up with. read more

Duck products. Interesting, huh? Well, the duck pastrami was delectably juicy and tasty but a bit small. The three side slices of homemade dill pickles were on-point. I will try the other products may be sometime in the future, but the duck itself isn't a main draw for me. read more

Had their duck ramen, pretty good especially from a food truck. Soft poached egg and duck meat were perfectly cooked. Only complaint I have is the noodles used, they were more like spaghetti or even soba noodle in texture versus the typical ramen noodle. Also it wasn't super convenient eating it out of a soup container. Definitely want to try the duck tacos next time. read more

Holy Crap!!!! I was a little skeptical of Duck tacos but I am hooked. It was one of the best taco tacos Ive ever eaten. I know that is a bold statement but its true. The duck was succulent and rich. It wasn't gamey at all. I generally dont like onions but the pickled red onions made the whole thing work.i am now a pluck fan for life and see many returns in my future. Highly recommend you check them out. The owners are friendly and fast. Its a family owned and run truck which made the experience that much more special. read more

Just had another great culinary experience at the Pluck truck (in Sunnyvale this time). The duck tacos are amazing and I love the duck ramen. I've had the duck fried rice in the past, but I'll have to have some next time as I only had 15 minutes to eat and this hit the spot perfectly! I was craving this all week. The food continues to be amazing with lightening fast service! read more

Plucking Great!!!! I am not normally a fan of duck. This over exceeded my expectations. Flippin fantastic! I had a 3 way here. Duck Ramen, Duck Tacos, and Duck Fried Rice. Personal opinion? The Ramen was good, the Tacos were GREAT, the Fried Rice was Outstanding. Tonight they were at Any Water Sports, in the Walgreens Parking lot on Saratoga Avenue. Fun and friendly staff, Great Conversations, and Great Food. I'm following on Facebook so I know where they are serving. I am definitely a fan. https://www.facebook.com/PluckNews read more

So tried the duck fried rice a few weeks ago, and then again the week after, then once again the week after that; suffice it to say I think I'm addicted. Pluck was also nice enough to let me try a sample of the duck pastrami slider, which I fully expected to not enjoy (I dislike sliders for some reason, maybe because they're just a fancy name for a small sandwich), but I was pleasantly surprised by it's flavor. Anyways, Pluck now has me hooked as a regular patron. read more

Ok, what the eff did I just pay for and eat...? How they somehow justified charging $16 for the saddest ramen I've ever had in my life is completely lost on me. My office is half a block from where the truck was parked and my soup was room temp when I sat down to eat. Forget the flavors and the noodles (which were meh IMO) the soup was just straight up served to me cold. I could gripe about what ramen is "supposed to be" but honestly idgaf as long as it's hot, reasonably priced and tastes good. They failed on most counts. Bummer! read more

Just had the duck tacos (at Stanford) and they were AMAZING. Literally the most scrumptious tacos I've ever had. They're just two tiny street tacos (but for only $5!) so make sure you have something else too to complete the meal! read more

Duck is so, so tender and juicy. The ramen is rich and filling, and the duck pastrami is like...cheesy duck barbecue. Ridiculously good. I want more. Great prices, too. read more

Thought duck ramen would be a great but if it's cold outside , it needs to be hotter broth. It was ok, not what expected maybe the twist of having in a food truck then sit down makes a difference ? read more

The good: The duck pastrami was very good. The duck is tender and has good flavor and the pickled onion and mustard were great adders. The bad: The portion size is small for $7. Include some side besides a couple pickles. Cole Slaw, potato salad, even chips would be good. Also they are always out of ramen, well at least the 3 times I tried. Not sure how that happens even when we show up just 30 minutes after they open. I know keeping inventory on a truck is tough, but it is your top item. read more

Went to pluck when they were at picnic at the presidio in San Francisco. I love duck...I mean love duck so when I saw this I was pretty excited. WE ordered the duck fat fries and the duck confit tacos. They are averaged priced and like most food trucks can take a minute to get you your food, especially when there is a line. Once we got the food I was sooo happy we waited. The tacos were on the small side and came with two, but looked promising. We got a huge order of fries with a delicious dipping sauce that I am still unsure what it contained. The tacos might be small but they are full of tastiness! Absolutely delicious, all the flavors on the taco work together great. I would definitely order that again. The duck fat fries were also great. I've had them at other places and they can really over do it- I don't want to have grease dripping off my finger, but these were fried perfectly. Like I mentioned the dipping sauce (maybe a truffle sauce) went with the fries great. Overall I would come back to this truck, I cant wait to see what else is on their menu! read more

They have seriously gone downhill. I frequented Pluck at least once a week from December of last year to July of this year. Why? The duck pastrami and the duck tacos. They were amazing and delicious, delicious enough that I once but enough for everyone in my office to get a taste and I cleaned them out. But I went back for the first time today and noticed a few things; 1)their truck looks like it was on fire or defaced, 2) they raised prices, 3) they got rid of their best item, Pastrami, in lieu of poutine. I am not anti-poutine but a basket of french fries covered in gravy does not make me want to go back to work, it makes me want to go to sleep. Also $7 for two very small tacos is crazy, when it was $5 it was worth it because the taste made up for the ludicrous price. I wouldn't have gotten anything but I was in a rush and they were the only option because I'm not wasting money on a raisin and meat empanada. I can't express any more disappointment with pluck because it doesn't matter. But simply put don't waste your money here. read more
