So I ordered 2 meals - orange chicken/chicken katsu/spring roll and orange chicken/pork chashu/spring roll and walked it home. The person running the window said it would be a ten minute wait, which is fine, considering the truck came to me. Everything was delicious. The spring rolls didn't need a sauce - they had plenty of flavor on their own. The katsu was amazing - usually the katsu I get at the copious teriyaki places in the area is overcooked and rubbery. This was perfect and had a different but delicious sauce. The orange chicken was fresh and fluffy, and the rice was perfect. I would absolutely seek out this food truck again (I am surprised at the amount of poor reviews) and if it comes back to my neighborhood, I will make sure to return!

This is a relatively new place recommended to me by a coworker. It looks like Private Chef is…read moreheavily geared towards the delivery/pickup frozen food niche, but now they offer 'takeout'. I put it in quotes because while they give you a bag with fruit, water, a chocolate and entree, the entree is frozen. They do offer to heat up the food for you in-store, which is great; just don't expect to be able to go there and sit down for a meal. It's pretty much an office with large freezers of food. To speak of the food, however, I had the Jamaican chicken combo, and the flavors were quite delicate for what looked like a frozen TV dinner. Once heated, the spices definitely were aromatic, and the food was great. While in some meat you can see the vestiges of water from the freezing process, I think their flash-frozen entrees are heads above your average Hungry Man tray. The best thing I can see about Private Chef is still their 'bulk' frozen entrees. Apparently, they don't ship any more because of orders getting lost or something, but they do deliver in the Greater Seattle area (you'll have to double check this with them; I stopped paying attention to what they were saying as soon as I saw the chocolate in the display). I recently got a certificate for a half dozen meals (all meals are enough for two, by the way, if you're wondering why they're at like $15-$16 an entree), and I'll do an update once I hear how they liked it (if I'm not staring at the chocolate again). Did I mention the chocolate? Apparently they are hand crafted by the chefs employed, and while they are a big pricey, like 1/2 lb for $25, they are quite good. They come in a variety of colors, and the one I got free with my lunch (not sure if that is a regular occurrence) was a great viscous chocolate filling inside a colored shell. I'd recommend Private Chef if you need a quick dinner that's all natural on the way home, or if you have a need for a picnic lunch (remember to heat it up first, unless you eat your chicken Eskimo-style, encased in ice) on the way somewhere.

They were incredibly helpful and even offered samples to help me decide! While I was looking around, I noticed a huge variety of freshly baked goods coming out throughout the time I was there. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering how generously they fill the containers they serve in. The service was excellent; the staff were friendly and patient while I made my selections. In the end, I went with an ube bread, a cheesecake, and a savory pastry with meat inside. The flavors were fantastic, and I was very happy with my purchases. I even got to share them with some friends who were also new to this cuisine, and it was a hit! I will definitely be back.

I believe this is the only full fledged Filipino bakery in the area, so it's awesome to see such a great selection. Pianono Ube Roll ($9.99) - After purchase, we took a seat at one of the cafeteria tables to try the roll out. This roll is essentially an ube flavored swiss roll, deep purple in color, but smashed until flat. This seems to be due to how soft the roll is - usually I find swiss rolls denser to stand up to slicing, but this one is so soft and moist there's no way to slice it up without the structure collapsing. It's moist, fluffy, full of ube flavor and isn't too sweet. Unfortunately the quality of the ube roll is suspect. We purchased this on a Saturday afternoon and there was a sticker on the box labeling it best by the following Wednesday. On Monday morning there was visited mold growing all over, so only a day and a half after purchase. It was sitting on table with all the other baked goods and it wasn't obvious that it had to be refrigerated. (2/5) Spanish Bread ($8.99) - I used to love eating the warm, buttery sweet Señorita bread from Starbread bakery down in the Bay Area. They were so delicious, I literally could eat an entire box of ten in one sitting. Seeing it here, I had to pick a box up. San Honore's version is much larger, probably 2 to 3 times the size I'm used to. The bread is hard and dense and it's less golden brown in color and more pale. Breadcrumbs dust the exterior, while the interior is filled with a slightly sweet and dense paste. It's quite dense all around, nothing like the sweet "crack fingers" as my friends used to call them at Starbread. (3/5) Taho ($7.99) - The Taho is served piping hot in plastic cup. It's so hot that it actually melts the plastic and gave me a nasty burned tongue on my first sip. I actually saw another customer come up and ask them to fill up her own metal tumbler - probably the smarter idea. In terms of the drink, there's a super sweet minerally brown sugar coating on the bottom of the cup, followed by plenty of silky and soft tofu, filled with beany flavor and a bit of sweetness. It's very easy to suck up through the straw. The final ingredient on top, a bit of soft sago pearls (there's a sign that states tapioca pearls, but these are definitely sago). The tofu is clean tasting to start, but after an hour or so when it starts to cool down some of the off sour notes come out. There's no way it's gone bad in that amount of time (and it's not an unpleasant sourness), so I wonder if it's from the coagulant being used to make the tofu. (4/5) San Honoré Panaderia is a bit of a mixed bag with questionable quality. There are still a bunch of items I'd love to try but I'm not in any hurry to revisit.
