StopBye Café - Pulled pork sandwich - Asian Fusion Near Me

I had the lemongrass fried chicken sandwich with garlic fries. The chicken were smaller pieces of chicken rather than once piece of chicken. I loved the sauce it came with. It was weird because when I was more than halfway through with finishing my sandwich I got a big hint of spice. I guess the spice wasn't evenly distributed within the sandwich. I really enjoyed the garlic fries here too. All in all I enjoyed my meal. read more

The service was nice and patient. The food came quickly and was hot. I ordered the vegan mee goreng ( chow mein) and it was very good. It was not spicy and I wished I asked for a side of hot sauce. The veggies and tofu were very fresh! My only negative comment is the cost of $15 for a small portion, wished it was bigger. read more

I found this food truck at Jackalope Fair at Pasadena last weekend. We were so excited to find an Indonesian Food Truck! What! That's super rare and as an Indonesian, of course I'd give some support and upon further inspection, I realized that it wasn't 100% authentic Indonesian food, it was a fusion! okay, no problem, let's try it anyways. And I saw they had nasi goreng (fried rice). That's a classic Indonesian dish that's really hard to not like. We all grew up eating this and it's still a staple in many Indonesian homes today. Anyways, we decided to get the fried rice with shrimp just to give them support and a try, if it's good, we can always order other items on the truck. They have rendang (pulled beef) and lemongrass chicken among other things but they were served in either a burger form or as toppings on french fries. Back to nasi goreng - you can get it either chicken or shrimp. We chose shrimp, and not too long after our name was called and the food was ready for pick up. Let me break down the bowl for you - the fried egg on top seemed like it was fried there. And the pickles on the sides were fresh. The fried rice was $15 and it came with 3 pieces of shrimps. They were cooked with salt and pepper and had some flavor to them. And then as you dig deeper into the bowl, you get to the "Fried rice", except it was NOT fried. It was plain white rice with sweet soy sauce, no other seasonings. and again, NOT fried. It was such a disappointment! and a misrepresentation of what Indonesian food really is. Based on our experience on the fried rice, I refuse to spend more money on the other items on the menu. It was just bad. I'm not against the whole fusion idea, it could work, but please don't compromise the Indonesian flavor. The service was okay, the guy taking the order was efficient, just wished the food would have reflected more Indonesian flavors. and just a note - Fried rice should be fried. it's in the name. read more

Grateful for their vegan option and it was clearly labeled on their menu. They were one of only food truck in Los Angeles Comic Con that had something for me to eat. The cashier who took my order was nice. I had their Tofu Mee Goreng (stir fry noodles, Indonesian soy sauce mix, cabbage, kale, pickled carrots, cucumber, Tofu), and fries seasoned with salt n pepper. The Mee Goreng was a little too oily, but it was really tasty, but portion is a little smaller. I was originally going to rate 4 stars for these , however, having the vegan option saved me from looking around and walking around the convention hangry hahaha! read more

Me and the gang hit the Stop Bye Cafe at the All Toyotafest in Long Beach. I was eager to taste something exotic and unusual. The service was quick and upbeat and friendly. But the food was a disappointment. Not bad, just routine. It tasted like every other fine but forgettable pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. Unique? No. Exotic? Not even close. Unusual? No way. And for my forgettable sandwich and formerly frozen fries I had the pleasure of paying $20. I hoped that my lunch might lift or improve or brighten the day. It did not. read more

This food truck was at a local artisan fair in the park. I shared the brussel sprouts and chicken mee goreng. I will say the portions were generous. Also, the brussel sprouts were delicious! Well seasoned and cooked. As for the mee goreng, I'm no expert on Indonesian food, but it was only ok for me. The flavor was nothing to write home about. It was solid enough, and I enjoyed the fresh veggies, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get this again. I enjoy the instant noodle mee goreng I've had more. The food did come out super fast. The prices were more reasonable than what I saw on yelp. Apparently, the prices before were based on Comic Con. I would not pay comic con prices for this. I'm sure there are tastier options. The brussel sprouts alone would be 4.5 stars, but mee goreng was about 3.5...hence the overall 4 star rating. If this food truck is an option, I may stop by again, but I would likely only get the brussel sprouts. read more

Fantastic food! Loved the fries and their lemongrass chicken was amazing. Got it over noodles, which were very flavorful. The server was very friendly, and the price was affordable - got the noodles, fries, and a drink for $15. Would definitely try this truck again when it visits our office. read more

Nothing Indonesian about the food except for the names. They get away with using "fusion" to produce fancy named food items. Actually feel taken especially by the prices. The chicken bowl is simply salty chicken which they call "sate" with yellow rice and plain raw vegetables. The beef fried rice is a joke! Rice topped with tasteless "beef curry"? Come on now!! read more

Im Indonesian and the Food was horrible. To make it worse, the business partner (caucasian guy with a beard) assumes my gf is japanese and said "ARIGATO GOZAIMASU" and bow to us when we are not even japanese. That is super racist and should not be tolerated! The food is so bad, my beef rendang is swimming in oil and the chicken sandwich is dry as a cardboard. Save your money and dont support this racist person. read more

Actually signed up to post a review. Food truck posted on washington and 4th, absolute trash. Lemongrass fried chicken sandwich made of frozen dino nuggets, wannabe cole slaw, and that cheap rubbery fake bread from elementary school. And that thousand island sauce for that authentic fusion flavor. Straight out of the LAUSD cookbook. One bite then I spat it out right away. $16. Wouldnt eat it if i got paid. And the red beef curry... yeah right. Gotta take a picture sigh... Oh and, thanks for the snarky little comment read more

Trying to finish up my last bites but I'm too full! The lady working the front was super nice and helpful! Huge smile and talked to me like I was family. Super sweet! Got the loaded fries and I'm stuffed! Amazing flavor, excellent mix of sauces and crunchiness with fresh veggies read more

I was so excited for this food truck but sadly the nasi goreng was disappointing. Chicken was okay and the brown sauce on top was good but the rice itself did not taste good. It felt undercooked and it did not taste like authentic Indonesian food read more

StopBye Café - Good fiod - Asian Fusion Near Me

They were the food truck of the day at my company and decided to give it a try since I don't eat much Indonesian fusion. I ordered the Borneo Pulled Beef Sandwich with deluxe fries as an add-on. The sandwich was ok, but for $15 I was expecting much more flavor. I also realized after the fact that I was only given regular fries instead of my deluxe fries and returned to have it corrected. They provided a full order of deluxe fries which I highly appreciated. The deluxe fries weren't worth the $1 upcharge--really just regular fries with some unknown parmesan-esque seasoning and fresh parsley, neither of which adhered to the fries. However, I did appreciate the good service and courtesy. TL;DR: Food is ok at best, but not exactly a bang for your buck; order was initially messed up, but service and willingness to correct are great. read more

THIS is one of my all-time favorite food trucks!!! the food is consistently delicious with generous portions plus great value for the money.

Many thanks to StopBye Cafe Team -- Justin, Tom and Maria! read more

I'm all for supporting small, Asian owned businesses, but unfortunately, this food truck wouldn't be a place I would STOP BYE again. The owners and employees are so nice and sweet, but the quality of their meals definitely fall a bit short for me, especially in terms of authenticity and taste. I ordered the lemongrass chicken bowl with garlic noodles, and I could barely taste the lemongrass flavor nor the garlic. This dish was saved by their complimentary hot sauce, but I still found it a bit lacking, especially with the lack of diversity in ingredients, overly strong vinegar taste, and poorly seasoned/super oily chicken and noodles. read more

YUMMMM, Indonesian restaurants are far a few (which sucks because we love Indonesian food) BUT this is the FIRST Indo food truck we've heard of, and I would like them to stick around!! We ordered the family style dinner (even though we are only 2 people, so we could try more dishes! HEY leftovers are always a plus when a food truck is not always in your area) ---beef rendang: tender!! not my favorite but the best that is still around!! (my previous fav closed down) ---chicken and beef satay: nicely grilled PLUS comes with this awesome chili paste, going to ask for extra chili paste next time ---brussel sprouts: packed with flavor ---indonesian fried rice: great side to all the flavorful food Can't wait for them to make it back to Chino so we can try the rest of their menu! Everyone in my community also raved about their food! read more

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS RACIST BUSINESS!! My partner messaged the owner, Justin, about the racist encounter we had with his business partner, Tom (last attached picture). However, James thought it was unnecessary to apologize for racist behavior and did not see an issue at all. The complaint was about Tom's racist actions towards me. Saying "thank you" to me in Japanese, while also bowing IS RACIST. I am not Japanese and it is not okay to assume someone's race. I included the screen shots so you can see what happened and the interaction yourself. My partner was blocked after. I tried messaging them as well, and was blocked without even getting a reply. The owner is Indonesian and it blows my mind how he thinks this is okay and there is nothing to apologize for. It is privileged of him to say that Tom's actions were not racist, especially after expressing that I felt racism towards me during that small interaction. read more

Company does monthly food trucks. I don't know if it's "authentic" but the flavor is incredible. Very nice selection available. Large filling portions. The people working were amazing. Friendly and efficient. The truck itself is pretty cool, cool designs and paint. Ordered The Kemangi Shrimp Garlic Noodles which I thought incredible. So much flavor, very very good, nice spice. Brussel Sprouts were great. I was also able to sample the fried chicken sandwich, thought that to be awesome as well. Didn't intend or consider a review so I didn't take pics other than one. Since so many expressed their belief that this was the best yet, I had to review and I agree. Definitely would eat again. read more

I love how many new cool food trucks Trademark Brewing is getting again, now that covid is (hopefully) on its way out - these guys were their food truck last Friday, and their menu looked so interesting, I had to pop in and try them. I actually remembered to call the order ahead this time for once, to avoid the wait - said I'd be there in 15 minutes, actually took us 20, so I'm also happy to report, they package the food well enough that everything was not only ready, but still hot when we got there. We tried: The beef rendang ($15) - FANTASTIC. Super flavorful, super filling, and while I assumed you'd only get the tofu and egg in the vegetarian version, the meat version did also include those. Thus, in addition to a good amount of very flavorful shredded beef, it also had two large pieces of delicious lightly fried tofu (I'm picky about tofu - theirs is excellent), and two delicious hard-boiled-and-lightly-fried eggs. So, in addition to being delicious, it was also very filling! Weirdly, the one complaint I had, the opposite of usual: too much protein and not quite enough curry! By the end, it was just a plate of beef and tofu, not that I was complaining *too* much. I would definitely get that again - and next time, I'd get one for myself instead of sharing it with my wife, so I could dump their equally delicious sambal all over everything (We have different opinions on how spicy things should be, and I can't stress enough how good their sambal is.) The garlic shrimp noodles ($14), which I thought was just "good". The noodles were good, but not as flavorful as the rendang, and the shrimp was large, juicy and perfectly cooked shrimp, but only like 4 pieces of shrimp. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't get it again (granted, it would probably also have benefited from dumping sambal all over it, if I hadn't been sharing both dishes with someone else.) The quadberry tea ($5) - my wife got one cause she wasn't really in a beer-drinking mood. Again, a totally enjoyable tea, but a bit pricey for $5 - it was enjoyable, but it wasn't mindblowing. (Plus I was at a brewery - I needed to save room for beer! On that note, Trademark also just released a new blood orange beer cocktail, the other half of the reason I was there - and it went *perfectly* with the rendang.) I would definitely make sure to go back anytime they were in the area - both for the rendang, and because I also really want to try their lemongrass fried chicken tenders next time (especially dipped in sambal!) And because it goes so well with good beer, obviously, but then, doesn't everything? read more

This is one of my recent found and favorite food truck. They served Indonesian fusion food. It is a little spendy ($14 for Borneo beef sandwich, $14 for Justin's 18 spice chicken) but it is worth very penny! The portion is also generous. We had Borneo pulled beef sandwich which is one of their favorite dish, as seen on Facebook, pinterest and IG. The beef was slowly braised and then BBQ and shredded before served. It is very moist and tender, served with coleslaw, fried eggs, ciabatta bread and their home sauce. It is huge! I had the half for lunch next day and it is still delicous! Their other well known dish is Justin' 18 spice chicken. It comes with either rice, fries or salad. The chicken is so good! The meat is moist and tender (even the next day and after being microwaved), rubbed with 18 spices. I can only tell they are garlic, pepper, onion, coriander, cumin, cayenne, paprika, cloves, salt, sugar... not sure the rest... but whatever it has, it is very tasty! We can't wait when they are back in our area! read more

I had the red curry beef bowl and it was extremely bland and wet. The meat was soft but bland and the rice was wet. There were also random bits of french fries in my rice, that just ended up being soggy and bland. Fries that came with the pulled beef sandwich were so bland and the sandwich itself was also bland. read more

So the Jal-Ajo Brussels are a must from StopBye Café and they always hit the spot! The caramelized brussels sprouts are crispy and fried to perfection then tossed in the most delicious jalapeño and roasted garlic vinaigrette. The added sprinkle of Parmesan cheese tops off this superb side dish to create a flavor explosion like no other! All their Indonesian fusion dishes use fresh quality ingredients and unique flavors that will not disappoint! I think I have tried almost all their menu items, but I guarantee you I never forget to place one or two orders of this delightful dish at each visit! read more

I had this on the CSULB campus with my friend and we were very disappointed in how bland and inedible the food was. It's sad to see that other students that are tight on money are wasting their money on food here. It is also crazy to see how the owner responds unprofessionally to people who leave valid criticism of the food, service, etc. read more

I first tried this place during Ciclavia South LA and it is honestly my favorite food truck ever!! I am always in search of either Indonesia or Malaysian food because my mom is from Malaysia and we used to visit Malaysia a lot when I was a kid. I'm actually not a huge fan of Asian fusion because so many people do it terribly with water-downed flavors or a strange upscale version of street food, but I absolutely love the presentation and spices/flavors of StopBye Cafe! I love the deluxe fries, Borneo pulled beef sandwich, Justin's 18 spice chicken, Java fried rice, Mee Goreng, and Beef rendang dish. I think they occasionally change menu items, but I've always enjoyed anything I've ordered from here. Check them out if they're in your area and check out their Instagram cos they seem to update regularly, so it's not difficult to figure out where they'll be in the LA-area during the week. read more

What can I say... I LOVE THE StopBye Cafe, Indonesian Food Truck as well as Justin and Tom! Since the Stay at Home order has been in place my neighborhood condo association has been having 3 different food trucks every week. I hit Pay Dirt when I tried the StopBye Truck! It's OMG Good!!! I'm on a carb restricted diet so after treating myself to three of their outstanding offerings I'm now just ordering 2 of the Justin's 18 Spice Chicken whenever the truck is here. No carbs involved!!! Wonderful spiced (not hot spices, just TASTY!) grilled chicken and a beautifully prepared salad!!! Let's not lie... not only do I get the StopBye food when the truck is at my condo... I now also follow them to other locations it's so good! If you write them a request like no onions, or crispies they are more than happy to accommodate you. They are just the BEST! I think I've now identified clove, maybe cumin and cardamom on the chicken. Fifteen more spices to go! Whatever those 18 spices are, they are hugely tasty!!!! And... I've lost a few more pounds eating food from the StopBye Guys! They made my diet the easiest ever! Do what I do and buy for today and tomorrow! You won't be sorry. read more

Everything's amazing but if it's your first time, I'd recommend the ren-dang stew if it's currently on the menu. Other great options include the Borneo pulled beef sandwich and pork poppers.

My first experience with Indonesian food... BOMB!! I really liked my coconut rice bowl. The rice itself wasn't too seasoned, I could clearly taste the coconut flavor without feeling an overload of sodium , it was like a background to the main components of the bowl. The beef was pure sautéed goodness , it was tender and really well seasoned . The veggies were for added texture . Everything tasted high quality 8.3/10 !! I was also fortune enough to try the beef stew they have there which to me was the best tasting thing I experienced on the truck. It's slightly spicy with a nice coconut flavor , the perfect mix of flavors and probably the greatest thing you could put over some rice :) read more

I ordered fried chicken sandwich w/fries from their food truck ($20). The chicken was super dry and barely any spicy aioli on the sandwich. The coleslaw on the sandwich was good. But over all the chicken itself had no taste. McDonald's chicken sandwich way better compared to what I ate. read more

We hired StopBye for a private party. The team arrived early and provided quick and extremely friendly service. I really enjoyed the vegan kemangi with tofu and the jalajo Brussels sprouts--and man, the portions were huge! It was delicious and served with so many veggies that kept it tasting fresh. I heard multiple guests gushing about how good the food was, some saying it was the best food they'd ever had at a party! read more

Was about to head to flame broiler and this truck happened to be nestled on broadway near an apartment complex in Long Beach. So the complex is trying something new and having a food truck rotate every Friday which is awesome. Wasn't thinking too much into this place since I've had my fair of hyped up food trucks. I was contemplating between two dishes and asked which was best. Went with Justin's 18 spiced chicken that also came with a side of either fries, coconut rice, or brussel sprouts. Once I heard brussel sprouts I didn't hear anything else the gentleman offered me. Opened my box and was thrilled to see not just the quantity but the quality of the chicken. Spices lightly tossed on the chicken and cooked to perfection. Not overcooked and had plenty of flavor. The brussel sprouts was such a nice touch. I also got to try the Bahn Mi sandwich that has their own twist. There was a flavor in there that almost tasted like home in Thailand. Im thinking they used kaffir lime leaf or ginger. I was very impressed with the freshness and quality they serve. Mind you it is a fusion Indonesian food truck so don't get your panties in a bunch if you're looking for authentic. They serve quality and quantity food with a touch of their own creations. Food comes out fairly quick and they also have Thai tea and coffee which I didn't get to try. Their fries are also bomb which you can't go wrong with. You can have regular or garlic fries. Happy eating :) read more

One of my favorite food trucks! I initially started following them on Instagram and luckily they came to my neighborhood! They are an Indonesian fusion food truck with lots of great choices to choose from. I ordered the kemangi shrimp garlic noodles (garlic noodles, grilled shrimp, Thai basil, basil-soy sauce, pickled carrots, and cucumber) and the fried chicken sandwich (lemon grass fried chicken tender, coleslaw, spicy aioli, pickled) with a side of garlic fries, oh and a fried egg! Everything was really good. You can tell that it's authentic. The garlic noodles were my favorite. Highly recommend to try other things on their menu! read more

Stopbye Fries Delux (3/5) The parmesian and garlic flavors did not permeate into the fries, to really get any of the garlic or parmesan flavors you have to pinch it with the fry. Yakisoba Beef (2/5) The yakisoba barely had any sauce, or much flavor. The little bits of shrimp in there did taste good, but didn't make up for the lack flavor throughout the plate. Indonesian Rendang Stew (3/5) Possibly the best thing I've had of the 3, it seems lack of flavor is a theme to this truck. If the stew had just a bit more stew, it could have really cared this dish to a 4 out of 5. At the end, it didnt achieve the hardiness expected of stews. It just tasted like coconut rice lighted covered with pork stew sauce. read more

Food trucks are sooooooo 2008. But sometimes when there is a good one, you have to write about it. Tried StopBye truck's JUSTIN'S 18 SPICE CHICKEN. And I loved it as it was super flavorful and essentially a whole chicken. You have a choice of coconut rice or Brussel sprouts. I reluctantly chose veggies because I'm watching carbs . The Brussel sprouts were on point and perfectly sautéed and seasoned. ***doing the Italian chef kissing fingers motion*** I also felt super indulgent and got an iced coffee with coconut milk and it was DELICIOUS. It's made with real coconut milk, and I think that's the difference. Can't wait until I catch this truck again and try other items. I am a fan of this Indonesian truck! read more

Wow! This truck exceeded my expectations! I wasn't expecting much of a banh mi but this one was amazing. They ran out of the French roll and used a ciabatta instead. It was perfect! I don't think they should use a French roll from now on. And then they gave me Brussel sprouts for the "inconvenience" and they were flipping amazing! I am singing their praises and telling everyone they need to try them. Excellent food and excellent customer service! read more

Having spent time in Indonesia--the start of my nasi goreng addiction--I was super excited to try this food truck based on the reviews here. Here's my breakdown of the experience: Ordering ease: 5 stars Friendliness of staff: 5 stars 18-Spice Chicken: 4 stars Nasi Goreng: 1 star (so sad, but this was terrible!!) Deluxe Fries: 1 star (super soggy, and sort of a weird vinegary undertone?) Jasmine Rice: 2 stars (I don't think they're offering coconut rice anymore. Based on the reviews here, I expected it to maybe be coconut-y even though it did clearly say on the ordering site that it was plain.) They were really super nice, so I hate to not give a glowing review, but after anticipating it all day, the actual experience was not what we'd hoped for. read more
