    a car parked on the side of the street

    Coworker suggested this place as a must try so we went together to try it. The staff was nice, the service was fast, and the food truck looked clean. But that's about all I can say about the good. The roll that I got seemed ok. The filling was extremely lacking and at 13.95 for two it was not the best bang for your buck. Seemed very bloated with vegetables without a lot of protein which was part of what I ordered. Even the coworker we went with said it was not as good as it was before. Could be just a bad data point but I was not impressed.

    All this for 17$

    My office is close to this food truck and I was craving Indian so I tried it. This is my review after visiting this place for two times. The staff is great but the food isn't. 1. Pav bhaji was good, but the quantity for the price is too low. 2. The egg in the roll is over cooked, making it rubbery. 3. Chicken isn't cooked well. 4. Food quantity for the price is low. 4. Chili paneer was sweet. Gave two stars because of the nice staff, pav bhaji and Chana masala. I wouldn't recommend this place and wouldn't come back again.

    Gem! This is super close to work and I can't be more thankful! Love walking over to the truck and grabbing a roll pod or two every week. I've tried their aloo gobhi, paneer masala and chana masala roll pods and every one of them has been super satisfying and yum! The service is quick and they pack all orders in a togo box! I find that the single pod is in itself fulfilling and enough for a meal! They also have carrot halwa for dessert which can be skipped as it isn't the freshest that I've tried!

    If you have never tried them then you are missing out! Please try them - the rolls or the rice bowl or the combo (to get the best of both worlds) and you will never regret it! We love their chicken rice bowl (honestly tastes like biryani) or even their chicken rolls.. their chutneys are just so awesome! Love it.. was lucky to find them right outside Ounces in West Seattle on a Tuesday night! wish there was a way to track their food truck so I could attend to my hunger cravings..will definitely keep coming back for more and more..

    1. Roll Pod (Paneer)

    I like this food truck and go there to grab lunch sometimes. I love their Paneer Rolls - they are delicious and fulfilling. I've also had Paneer Roll and Pav Bhaji conbo and it was good too. I also like that we can place order online on azzle.com and then just go to pick it up. The only thing I don't like is even their medium spicy level is spicy. I generally go for 4 stars at other restaurants but found 3 stars to be spicy here.

    #1 Roll Pod: one chicken, one mushroom. Mango Lassi drink too
    Willy M.

    Lunch time dilemma, what do I eat? My lunch options are getting lame around where I work. How far do I want to walk is another factor. So I just walked down to Westlake Park to see what's up with the food truck scene there. Saw The Roll Pod truck, looked at their menu and a roti roll sounded good to me. I decided to get the "#1 Roll Pod" which is basically 2 roti rolls, you get to choose which filling you want: chicken, mushroom or paneer. I decided one chicken, one mushroom. It's pretty good sized, nicely prepared up, roti roll seems to be fresh as it was hot, nicely grilled up, kind of like a tortilla or a thicker crepe. The chicken filling was good, a little spicy and flavorful. The mushroom filling was my favorite, it was very flavorful, good amount of mushrooms, a little spicy, it goes well with the salad mix inside of the roti. I think I saw they mad mutton as a filling as well but I think that's a $1 more. Got me a Mango Lassi drank to wash it down and help kick that spiciness in my mouth, that was perfect accompaniment to my lunch. The menu has other combos for lighter lunches, roti roll & rice bowl, salad combo, you'll see it when you read the menu. Staff was friendly, took a few minutes or so to fix up your lunch order, prices are pretty standard for food trucks. Definitely will keep them on my radar to see when they come back to Westlake Park again.

    What a wholesome meal! The rice pod has everything from rice to gravy to chutneys to paneer to salad to deliciousness!! Flexible pod combos - loved that! It was like a multi-cuisine (Indian Paneer Masala and Asian Paneer Chilli) experience in one meal - generous portions too! And their serving is so tidy and organised. A food truck delivering this experience deserves a 5-star!

    #2 chicken rice pod
    Huong L.

    Tried this place for lunch and thought it was pretty good. It's a popular food truck so there is a bit of a wait unless you order ahead, in which I did :) I ordered the #2 chicken rice podand it was ready by the time I got there so that was nice. The dish came with rice, chicken in some kind of chutney sauce and another sauce I'm not sure of, some veggies, rice and two piece of fried egg. It was definitely a lot of food so a great deal for lunch. The chicken was tender and I like the sauce, it reminded me of the butter chicken dish you get at Indian restaurants. The egg was ok, a little bland so I added some salt and dip it in the sauce as well. Everything went well together and it has a balance. I wasn't a fan of the rice but that's because im picky about my rice so I'm not gonna deduct points on that. It was loose like whole grain rice and kind of light, not heavy or sticky like Asian rice. Overall, the food was good, price is reasonable, and service was fast.

    Pav bhaji and veggie roll, awesome food!
    Kelsey G.

    These guys are awesome! My fiancé and I stumbled upon them on yelp and were so excited to see them in SLU. It was a dreary day and the lines were long so we knew it was good- the free chai was awesome to keep me warm in the rain, it wasn't overly sweet and it was cozy! He got the pav bahji which was delicious and I had two rolls- delicious with the egg and fillings- I think the aloo gobi mattar was better than the chicken but both were delicious. We ended up eating the food right on the side of the road we were so hungry and excited to eat it! On a day like that we might consider ordering ahead online so we can pick up rather than wait with all the other hungry lunch-ers. Today we went out in the pouring rain- we really loved the food yesterday so we wanted it again! There was no line this time and the food came quickly and was again delicious! We both got lassis this time and they were creamy and delicious- you could really taste the thick yogurt. We asked about dinner, they said they want to open a storefront soon, we will be there when they do! Great food, big portions, reasonable prices. Thanks roll pod for a great lunch!

    1. Roll Pod (1 mushroom masala, 1 chana masala)
    Sam K.

    When the roll pod rolls through, I'd recommend stopping by! The roll pod (2 rolls) is reasonably priced ($12) for a flavorful meal that hits the spot. I got the chana masala and mushroom masala, which were both fantastically spiced. I appreciate that there are a lot of veggies and components that pull the whole roll together. I got a 3/5 spice level, which was perfectly spicy without needing to gulp down gallons of ice water. Overall 5/5 - would definitely roll through again

    Paneer Roll
    Amita J.

    Woah! SO good! I was not expecting much out of this at first, but after my first bite I was left speechless. I ordered the paneer roll (2) where the paneer was juicy with perfect amount of spices and heat. I got two rolls and by the time I was 2 bites into the second roll, I was feeling pretty full! Parathas were not soggy, it was all fresh and put together. They had free chai for customers, however, when I got there around 12:45, it was already out, which would have been great addition to the chilly day.

    1. Roll Pod

    I have ordered the roll combination a couple of times and this time I had the Aloo Gobi and Aloo Roll. Aloo Roll is super yum which is what I usually order. It was on the spicy side with some cut jalapeños in it along with a green chutney. Aloo gobi rolls are usually never available/sold out before I can get to these. This time I was lucky ;) and now they are my new favorites! I would suggest going with medium spicy and taking some of the chutney boxes they have to adjust the spice level for you. Good place for a quick bite! Bon appetit!

However, it still tasted like it had a really nice flavor, and had a soft interior. It being actually spicy would've moved this dish up a lot, though each taco was primarily made out of this chicken - and there was so much of it it was practically insane - but I loved this amount shoutout to the onions as well - they were great I asked for the habanero sauce - which i thought was ok - wasn't spicy at all and didn't add much flavor. will go with another sauce next time tried mixing in some taco bell fire sauce which was interesting i love that these came wrapped in aluminium foil to preserve heat. a great touch overall, as far as taste, these were pretty good, but when you consider the amount of meat you're getting, along with overall portion size - it's simply a fantastic meal.

    tl;dr the juicy Caribbean pork sandwiches at this revived Seattle mini-chain live up to the…read morelegendary hype Un Bien is arguably Seattle's most popular sandwich joint, and its dramatic history begins with Cuban chef Lorenzo Lorenzo and his initial shop, Paseo. Lorenzo opened Paseo in 1994, where his popular Cuban roast pork sandwiches were regarded as among the best in the country. After years of local expansion, Paseo abruptly filed for bankruptcy in 2014. The brand was subsequently bought out by a local entrepreneur, but the sale did not include Paseo's secret recipes (the reboot attempted to reverse engineer the sandwiches with varying success). So, in 2015, Lorenzo's sons revived Paseo under a new name, Un Bien, armed with their father's original recipes. Nowadays, Un Bien is generally regarded as superior to Paseo, and you can grab their Caribbean sandos at one of the three locations across Seattle. You can't miss the pastel pink-and-teal palette of the original shack on an otherwise drab block of Ballard. As you approach the wooden window, you are greeted by the aroma of sauteed meats and veggies. Communal laquered wood benches are lined up underneath a covered pergola. Fifties hits ring respectfully around the kitchen. My partner and I visited for late weekday lunch, and we ordered immediately. We opted to focus on the signature pork shoulder, so we split the #1 Caribbean Roast and #2 The Press. Across both sandwiches, we were impressed by the tender pork, rich onions, lemon-forward aioli, and marinade-soaked baguette. The standard roast pork sandwich added on pickled jalapenos and crisp romaine, culminating in a dynamic flavor that accentuated the meat. Meanwhile, The Press featured tart banana peppers, smoked ham, and melty Swiss, amping up the sweet and savory flavors alike; we agreed that this extra-messy sandwich just edged out the standard version. Our order took just minutes to be prepared, and the bill just topped $30. Despite the fanfare, I still found myself surprised by just how satisfying Un Bien's sandwiches turned out to be. Across all the food I ate in Seattle, only these pork sandwiches would be worth a return visit, even if I had to venture out of my way.

The food itself was average, but the poor customer service and inconsistent messaging about seating left a much stronger impression than the meal. There are other better places. Skip.
