I tried WoKitchen when they came to California State University, East Bay one Tuesday this past month. Honestly, wasn't super impressed with the dim sum here. Firstly, it was called a "Dim Sum Sampler", but it included two pieces of the same item? For $8, the Dim Sum Sampler included: Two (2) Pieces of Shui Mai One (1) Piece of Har Gao One (1) Piece of Steamed BBQ Pork Bun One (1) Piece of Fried Potsticker For $8, and calling it sampler, I would have expected another dim sum item, rather than just a second price of shui Mai. I also had the Thai iced tea, and for some reason, it really had a weird taste to it. It's like they added condensed milk to it or something. Wouldn't recommend getting for $6. Overall, it wasn't something to rave about. The dim sum didn't quite seem as if it was freshly steamed, and the skin of the har gow came apart pretty quickly, which means it wasn't made correctly. read more

Had the dimsim and they give you a variety based on what's listed on the truck. Once they run out of certain items, they'll just give you random ones as a substitute. I was honestly surprised by the quality as this was comparable to a standard dimsim spot. Anyways, I defintely recommend y'all stop by and grab a box when you're in the area! read more

Dim Sum Platter $15 w. tax Standard fare, quality and flavor. Quick order turn around. No complaints. One minor gripe - food was lukewarm. Not sure on total protein weight but my guess is around 1/3 of a lb. read more

Ordered the Spicy Dan Dan Noodles, and it came with plenty of pork, cucumbers, and sauce. The noodles were also cooked well. And since it was the Spicy Food Fest, it came with Spicy Sichuan Sesame Sauce. It was indeed a little bit spicy, but otherwise, it was standard. They delivered the food fast for a food truck, and it was a food truck, so ambiance will be variable. read more

Got to try this food truck at an Off The Grid event at Foster City! We got the general chicken rice bowl, mongolian beef rice bowl, and a 4pk of charcoal lava buns! The general chicken rice bowl was ok, a little too sweet and doughy for me. Wouldn't get it again. The mongolian beef rice bowl was great. Loved how it came with some bok choy to even it out. The beef was on the mild spicy side which gave it great flavor especially in top if rice. I loved the charcoal lava buns! The inside was la egg yolk sweet custard and it was warm. Be careful biting into it because it's very runny. But so so good. And the design is cute and fancy with the gold dust. I will be keeping my eyes peeled for more. read more

Had the pleasure of attending the food trucks at off the grid in Foster city. Lord knows I needed a midnight snack, therefore I went ahead and ordered the generals chicken with rice and veggies. It sure does remind me of Ming's in San Bruno, another favorite! It sure did hit the spot! I will be back to try that deep fried chicken potstickers :) read more

I really enjoyed the tofu black bean rice bowl! The service was great. I really enjoyed their menu and the cool truck design it has. It's easy to read. The food is so good ! As a vegetarian, I recommend it. Limited choices but very delicious! read more

This place is mid. The food wasn't super hot which is confusing considering they're using a wok? The shrimp dumpling was good (8/10) and the bbq pork was decent (7/10) but they needed lots of hot sauce for the flavor. Service was quick though I must say. read more

For lunch, a coworker and I decided to share a plate. Since Off the Grid: Lunch on the Lane is close to work, she picked Wokitchen. She grabbed us lunch on Wednesday, October 3rd around 1:15pm. Hand Made Dim Sum ($10) *BBQ Pork Buns *Shrimp Dumplings x3 *Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai x3 *Lotus Wrapped Sticky Rice: sticky rice w/minced pork, shiitake mushrooms, & chinese sausage (+$0.50) Decided on the assortment plate since we both like variety. Plus, we got to pick our own items. I just tried the shu mai and ha gow. The were fine. Your average dim sum dishes. My coworker didn't like the siu mai as much as she got a weird chewy bit. Her favorite thing was actually the lo mai gai (sticky rice), so she found herself wishing she got two of those instead. We were disappointed as they forgot our cha shu bao (pork bun). We just let it go as we didn't want to go all the way back to Maiden Lane. One of the least impressive food trucks I've been to in a while. Would have given them three stars if it weren't for the missing pork bun. I'd definitely pick another truck next time. Note: I got back to work after my coworker did, so my pic is just of my portion. read more

Such an amazing culinary experience from Wokitchen Food Truck! I had the opportunity to try it for the first time when they were stationed at "The Crossing," in downtown San Francisco. When I went there was only one employee, who could have been the owner / manager, and they were very friendly. The menu was diverse and the Honey Walnut Prawns (which is what I ordered) was incredible. The sticky jasmine rice was awesome and the honey prawns with walnut was so good! If you ever see this food truck be sure to stop and buy something, you won't be sorry! read more

Went to this truck while at Levi Plaza. The line was long and so I thought that was a good sign. Most people were ordering dim sum, I chose Mongolian Beef rice bowl which was a bad choice: it was greasy and cold. I had to heat it up in the microwave to make it semi-edible. Very disappointing. read more

I very much enjoyed the food we got from WoKitchen yesterday when the food truck came to our residence. We had the Mongolian Beef and the Black Bean Tofu, both over rice. Each dish was well-seasoned, savory and fresh! I like that the side vegetable was baby bok choi. Yum! Didn't try the dim sum yet but I might have to after these two dishes. I am already planning for their return :) If you get the chance, give them a try! read more

Better than expected. The charcoal lava buns were fluffy and delicious. Not too sweet. The black bean chicken rice bowl came packed with veggies. For $11 it was better than expected. I hope they stick around and become a stable at the new food truck scene in the East Cut. read more

At Oakland's OMCA Off The Grid last night. Grabbed some dim sum on my way out. Food poisoning. Didn't eat anything else. It was most certainly this place. 20 hours later and 5 pounds lighter, never again. Never ever again. read more

Great dim sum food truck that travels throughout the bay area. I've been able to enjoy them at both Fort Mason and at the Soma food park locations. Love their original shrimp dumplings!!! You can mix and match your favorites and the employees are very sweet. I would also recommend the pork and shrimp siu mai. If they ever have them as a special, try the lava buns!!! read more

Wokitchen is a food truck from Belmont which makes Chinese dishes including dim sum. At the Silicon Valley Comic Con, they had many food trucks outside of the convention center. As I walked through the many choices, I spotted the Wokitchen truck. The people running the truck were very friendly and helpful as I decided on what to order. I ended up getting the handmade dim sum plate. The dim sum was fresh and yummy as I sat eating in the shade at the park. I'd try them again for their fusion tacos. read more

A Chinese food truck offering protein & rice dishes, dim sum and some unique innovations like crunchy mu shu pork tacos. I wasn't a fan of the dim sum; it was pre-made and just kinda hanging around waiting for customers, so doesn't taste like fresh out of the kitchen and off the cart. The tacos were awesome though. So averaging it together, I'll give this a solid "A-OK". Mu Shu Pork Tacos: The best menu item I tried and probably worth a special trip to this food truck. It's got the traditional mu shu filling with a modest amount of pork and some veggies like cabbage and mushrooms adorned with lots of nice sauce. I actually don't mind that it was so veggie-balanced (as opposed to being meat overloaded) since it just worked well that way. And I love that they used a crunchy taco shell instead of a soft tortilla. That really makes it unique instead of being a slight variation on the mu shu pancake! Fried Taro Pork Dumplings: I really liked this one. Flaky fried exterior with an interior of mashed taro surrounding some ground pork. Awesome texture and flavor contrast. Fried Pork Dumpling: Very doughy and the filling seemed more heavy on the veggies (especially mushroom) than pork. Probably my least favorite. Fried Pork Potstickers: These are not potstickers since they're not cooked on a flat surface (i.e. pot) that they would stick to. Instead of having that delightful half-steamed half-seared contrast, it was basically a deep fried dumpling. Veggie Eggroll: Meh. Cream Cheese Wonton: No crab or "crab", just cream cheese and some herbs. That's fine, still a tasty treat. Sesame Ball: Pretty standard with a crust of crunchy sesame seeds around some mochi with red bean paste inside. Could even pass as a dessert. Definitely enjoyable. Passion Fruit Lemonade: I love all things passion fruit, so had to get this. It seemed like they used an overly sweet passion fruit syrup instead of fresh (or even frozen) passion fruit pulp. Not ideal, but I'll take it since passion fruit flavored items are just so rare. read more

Imagine a dim sum cart that was truly mobile. That's Wokitchen. And like every dim sum place in the Bay Area, it definitely will not be good enough for everyone. That said, getting mix and match 8 dumplings for $11.50 rather than 3 orders of 3-4 of the same dumplings for about the same price is a fun experience. I was craving dumplings and while I can get some at the restaurant across the street from my office or Lee's Deli, I did want to try the food truck even given the 3 star average. You show up and the fried dumplings are in a window as you order while the steamed stuff behind the scenes. I got in my 8: 2x fried pork dumpling, 2x siu mai, 1x har gao, 1x char siu bao, 1x veggie eggroll. As others have said, the siu mai is weird. It's a bit mushy which I was not expecting. But still edible. The har gao is what you would expect and not indicative of this truck - most har gao in the bay area is weird. The char siue bao was fine. No issues there. Same with the veggie eggroll. I got 2 of the fried pork dumplings as they are usually my favorite (though often called fried mixed meat dumplings). The wrapper was thicker than most but the flavor was solid on these. Would I go out of my way for this truck again? Probably not. If attending an event with a group of friends and grabbing a bunch of cheap dumplings to eat while we wait in line for other trucks? Oh yeah! read more

Wokitchen now comes to my business park in Mountain View. This is the first time I've tried them and I'll have to say they are pretty good for a food truck. I got their mu shu pork tacos and were pretty good; and for $5.50, not a bad price. I also got their 6-piece dim sum ($7.50) with BBQ pork bun, shrimp dumpling, pork & shrimp siu mai, fried pot sticker, veggie egg roll and a fried pork dumpling. You do get to choose from 11 dim sum items (but the sticky rice is +$.50). Overall a pretty good meal from a food truck and would definitely try their other menu items. Next time I'm going to have to try the steamed rice bowl with chicken, shiitake mushrooms and chinese sausage and their other rice dishes. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find a dim sum food truck at Off the Grid Cupertino last week. Needless to say, it had the longest line of any of the food trucks because no one can resist the allure of steamy hot dim sum. I ordered the dim sum plate (8 pieces for $10), mu shu pork tacos (2 tacos for $6), and lotus wrapped sticky rice. It sounds like a lot for one person but I didn't know when this food truck would be back so I wanted to make the most it. Plus, it's not every day that I get dim sum for dinner. When I picked up my order, I appreciated that the server put the mu shu tacos into a little bag to make it easier for me to carry. It's the small things that count when it comes to good customer service. I was super excited to take the first bite of my mu shu tacos when I got home because the concept sounds amazing but they turned out to be just alright... it was more like eating cabbage and hoisin sauce out of a shell. The dim sum itself was good and I would definitely order it again. The shu mai were plump and tasty. The steamed BBQ pork buns were pretty standard for what you get at typical dim sum restaurants. The sesame balls (w/ red bean) were perfectly crisp and chewy. They did a really good job on the lotus wrapped sticky rice (w/ minced pork, shiitake mushrooms & Chinese sausage) too. One of the better ones I've had. This food truck will definitely satisfy a craving for Chinese comfort food. I hope they become a regular at OTG Cupertino! read more

Tried them at presidio picnic. Got the assorted dim sum. Probably the worst dim sum I've ever had. Worst than American hotel free buffet dim sum. Haw Gao shell was so thick, it was hard to swallow. Cream cheese wonton shells were too thick. Su mai was mushy. Fried pork dumpling barely had any meat. Lo mai gai was a mess. No chili oil, only sriracha . Wth? Waste of calories and $$. read more

I was thirsty, so I only tried the drinks and not the food. I got the lychee lemonade and Jasmine lime cooler (freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice mixed with brewed Jasmine green tea) because both sound delicious. They turned out to be pretty good, but mediocre at best. The lychee lemonade was oozing in lychee syrup which made me almost choke when I first sipped it. They basically pumped a bunch of lychee syrup at the bottom and added the lemonade on top. Now, this is not milk tea or a drink in a fully enclosed cup, so there's no way of imaging you need to shake it up to mix the lemonade and syrup. I did not expect something so artificial tasting. Overall, this drink was way too sweet to consume alone. The Jasmine lime cooler was much better, and I was able to combine the two drinks for a much better single mixed drink. read more

Bad dim sum. I feel like I'm saying bad dog, but I got the sampler dim sum plate with items I could have gotten at Ranch 99 or a Chinese grocery store with to-go food inside. I felt that the BBQ bun was dry, the wonton was cold, and the har gow was just average. It's like going to a person's house and being served subpar appetizers. Nothing to give 4 stars too. read more

Wokitchen really surprised me. And I mean that in a really good way. Instead of taking the fusion route like most food trucks do, other than their Mu Shu Pork Tacos, these guys just flat out make classic Chinese dishes with their own spin. And for me, their whole menu just works. I've stopped by Woktichen just twice and both times I left with a very happy stomach. On my first visit I ordered their Mu Shu Pork Tacos and General Chicken. Mu Shu Pork Tacos -- http://bit.ly/1SoGivT I'm not going to hold back here. I instantly became a fan of this truck when I took my first bite of their Mu Shu Pork Tacos. The tacos are crispy which I love and the mu shu pork filling was a good mix of pork and veggies with that sweet and savory sauce that's pretty common with mu shu pork. Every bite is full of flavor. And the fact that they give you 2 tacos for $5.50 is a great deal. If I wasn't going to order anything else from the truck, I'd probably get 2 or 3 orders of them. General Chicken -- http://bit.ly/1U1hNnR Roll diced chicken with eggs and flour and deep fried until lightly crispy, then tossed with a thick sauce mixed with garlic, ginger, and honey. Their General Chicken was okay. It wasn't as crispy as other General Tso Chicken I've had at other restaurant, but it was a good portion of chicken and veggies over rice. I liked the sauce, but I thought it could've used a little spicy kick. Overall, it was good, but I'm not sure if I'd order this again. On my second visit almost a month later, I decided on their Steamed Rice Bowl with Chicken, Chinese Sausage, and Shitake Mushrooms and, of course, another round of their Mu Shu Pork Tacos (http://bit.ly/1WaCD6a). Steamed Rice Bowl with Chicken, Chinese Sausage, and Shitake mushrooms -- http://bit.ly/1UAKt7n I really liked this! It's so simple and comforting, and like the General Chicken, it was a huge portion too! The whole combination of meat and mushrooms just worked for me. The best part was that it wasn't too oily, so I didn't feel bloated after like I do usually after eating most Chinese food. I'm definitely ordering this again. So overall after two visits, I'd give Wokitchen a solid 4 stars. I haven't tried everything on their menu yet. They have a bunch of other rice bowls and also big selection of dim sum that I've yet to try. I'm not big on dim sum, but they do look tempting and I might stop by again to try out their sampler. But for me, I'm already looking forward to going back again just for the Mu Shu Pork Tacos and the Steamed Rice Bowl which I wouldn't mind if that was all they served. read more

I decided to try this food truck when it stopped by in our office lot. Wokitchen is basically a Chinese food truck which also has Dim Sum so as expected it does not get a lot of love. The menu consists of wok tossed pork, chicken, beef and vegetable entrees served with rice and a small selection of dim sum. I decided to get the Honey Garlic Beef ($9.50 with tax) and got a hot and sour soup add-on for another $1.50. As expected service was pretty fast. The honey garlic beef was cooked very well. Fresh and juicy without a hint of chewiness. I felt that the ratio of starch to protein was way off with way too much rice as compared to the beef. What made it worse was that the rice was of very very low quality. The least that they can do is to use better quality rice in this dish. The hot and sour soup was great. I felt that it was a little watery which diluted its flavor. I would rather reduce the portion size and give better quality stuff as is the practice on other trucks, but I understand that this may not work with plain vanilla Chinese food due to its perception. Price-wise it may be a little expensive if you look at it from Chinese Food standpoint but it is in line with what you will pay at a food truck. Next time I will get some other entree and add on dim sum (3 items for $3) which would be more in line with their core offering. Overall I liked what I ate and I'd rate this as a generous 3.5 stars rounded up to a 4. read more

Good quality, standard dim sum (no fusion malarkey). Better than I expected from a food truck. I got the 9 piece dim sum including a sticky rice for ~$11, which can be a pain in the bao because you get to/have to pick all 9 items yourself. I got a little bit of everything, except the bao which weren't ready at the time (I eat lunch early). My favorite was the taro dumpling, which was surprisingly, and deliciously, filled with ground pork. read more

Decent variety of dim sum and rice plates such as General Chicken and Honey Garlic Beef offered at Wokitchen. The dim sum is OK at best, given the food truck kitchen some of the dumpling skin didn't hold up well, or crispy items such as egg rolls or won tons were missing that crunch you'd expect. You can get 8 pieces of dim sum for $10 and pick your favorites. They have offerings like har gow, pork shui mai, cream cheese wontons, chicken dumplings and vegetarian options as well. I liked the har gow (shrimp) best. Service was friendly but the line moves slowly. read more

I'm a fan. Got the 6-piece option: 2 Shrimp Dumplings, 2 Pork & Shrimp, 1 BBQ Pork Bun, 1 Lotus Wrapped Sticky Rice. All this for 8 bucks, pretty good deal for dim sum. Everything was tasty. Only minor feedback I have is the sticky rice was a little too stuck to the lotus leaf, but nothing some persistent scraping didn't solve. I only had the dim sum items so can't speak for any of the wok or snack items, I hope they come back to my work site so I can try them next time~ read more

Where do I begin? I made the mistake of ordering the black bean chicken from here when they parked near Lake Merritt. I walked back to my office to discover they had given me the curry beef instead (I don't eat beef) and had to walk back and tell them. The guy behind the truck was so bored and didn't even apologize. I understand mistakes happen but would at least appreciate a sorry. On to the food - while the flavor of the sauce was edible, the chicken was dry as if it was old and sitting out. They serve it with tofu and mushrooms on the side as well. Again, the tofu felt old. And then there's the rice - how the hell can you get rice wrong in an Asian food truck? It was crumbly and you guessed it, felt old. I would have chocked it up to a bad experience but having been given the wrong food to begin with, I had to return it. Never again. read more

A phrase (or a promise?) on their truck reads, "Working on keeping it true Chinese." I love that. No fusion gimmicks; Chinese food is popular & familiar enough to stand on its own. Wokitchen's dim sum reminds me of the tasty bites from my childhood. Lotus-wrapped sticky rice, shrimp dumplings, veggie dumplings, sesame balls, & fried pot stickers all tasted exactly how I expected them to. 6 pieces for $7.50 or 9 pieces for $10.50. I really like that I can order exactly what I want & how many I want. Friendly guys & gals working the truck. Will definitely get dim sum from here again. read more

I enjoyed my visit to Wokitchen at the Dumpling Down! Festival by SPARK Social SF. I had shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, basil rangoons, sesame balls, and the charcoaled lava salted egg yolk. The salted egg yolk was by far the best!! I haven't had anything like it before. I liked everything else too, except the soup dumplings, but I'm not really a fan of those anyway (others in my party were). I'm not sure if the food during the festival was what they normally serve, but I would have no issue stopping back by this place if I saw it at another event. read more

Black bean chicken was lackluster but the orange chicken tasted awful. Really bad flavor and lukewarm. Soggy and small portion

I've given the truck a shot a few times when visiting OTG. They have done nothing wrong so I won't give it 1 star, but the food is really mediocre. The quality of each dish, including the dim sum, and their chicken is similar to one of those questionable looking places you may only do delivery (not knowing what it actually looks like). The chicken is chewy and the dim sum seems like it sits around a lot, which makes it, chewy too. Meh. read more

We ordered from this truck yesterday but was not impressed. I got the Honey Garlic Beef and although the taste was acceptable, it was nothing spectacular. For the price I was hoping it will be great in terms of taste or quantity. It was neither so not bad but that was it. I also ordered dimsum on the side and they where just ok. If I was ordering something for more than a dollar per item on a dimsum, I am expecting something good. They also did not give me some sauce for the dimsum which was I think lame. I guess its a food truck but next time would probably stick with the rice bowl if no other choice. read more

LEGIT CHINESE/DIM SUM FOOD TRUCK! There's actually a Chinese woman cooking the food in a wok on the truck! And they actually used a wok - impressive. I ordered the 6 piece dim sum (9 piece dim sum also available) which I was very happy with. I liked that you get to pick and choose which 6 or 9 pieces of dim sum you wanted. All the dim sum I had tasted freshly made. I also got the popcorn chicken, but I'd pass on that next time because it was "gum cutting cripsy". I like the popcorn chicken from Quickly better. Overall, my co-workers and I were all fans of their food and fast service. We got our food within 5 minutes (including order time). read more

Excellent Chinese food, friendly and helpful owner. I'm hoping Off the Grid SF can restart soon -- this will be one of my first stops.
