Best Bao Buns In The Bay Area!

Fresh of their Tampa Bay Times “Best Food Truck” award, the Shiso Crispy food truck has not slowed down one bit dropping some of the best specials to date.

The girls at Shiso make their Bao Buns fresh so that’s my go to for the most part. Having never tried soft shell crab before I gave those a shot. At first I thought it was going to be crunchy from the shell, after being fried the shell is unnoticeable putting all my fears at ease.

Black grouper Bao Buns we’re also being offered so I had to get an order of those. The purple cabbage and scallion topping really vibes with Gocujang sauce that appears on top of each order of buns.

If your not in the mood for buns the dirty rice is a very popular option, I would recommend topped with seared tuna or boneless bang bang wings. The Gyoza is also made fresh everyday. A handful of people surrounding the truck kept raving about the vegan breakfast sausage gyoza.

Don’t leave the truck without getting an order of Shisos new Japanese Doughnuts. Each order comes with a side of cinnamon cream cheese icing for your dipping pleasure. Stay up to date with what location the girls are at by following them on social media.

Anju Has A Home.

Anju Korean Gastrotruck brings some of the best Korean Street food the Bay Area has to offer. Usually the “K-Pops” and “Beef Bulgogi” can only be enjoyed wherever the Anju Truck is located until now.

During the week, Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Anju Korean Gastrotruck is open at their new brick and mortar location at 2827 16th St. N.

The “K-Pops” are my go to when I order from Anju.

I feel they can expand the menu a little bit more now to heighten the dine in experience, possibly pairing local beers with a special of the week or month.

The great location and always on point “K-pops” make the new Anju brick and mortar location a no brainer for late night to go orders. It’s cool to see a local food truck expand into stand alone location, bringing Korean Street Food to a different audience.

Eating Local With Food Trucks.

With COVID 19 having its effect on the restaurant industry,Food Trucks have began to rise up, feeding all the hungry locals from a safe distance. Here are a few of my favorite spots to grab a bite and go.

The girls at Shiso Crispy have been serving up handmade Gyoza Potstickers and their signature Dirty Rice for a minute now. My go to are the homemade Bao Buns, usually with the bang bang chicken or shrimp. Sometimes they even feature grouper or other local caught fish as a special. No lie the Bao Buns are the best I’ve ever had!

The Food Truck that started it all for me. Funnel Vision is a food truck with one goal in mind, spreading the joy of funnel cakes around the world. Zack and the crew have battered goodies from savory to sweet. The Nashville Hot Chicken is hands down my favorite in the city, make sure you get it extra spicy.

On the dessert side I usually go with the Bananas Fosters funnel cake, but recently I switched up and went with the Fruity Pebble covered “Bedrock”, with strawberry and marshmallow drizzle. The “Claw Dog” which is a Lobster meat corn dog is definitely a standout on the menu. If your a fan of getting everything extra crispy this is the truck for you.

One of the newer trucks I’ve been checking out Anju Korean Gastrotruck has some of the best Korean Street food the Bay Area has to offer. The Beef Bulgogi and Bibambap are already good on their own but Anju let’s you add an egg to pretty much any dish. My personal favorite are the K pops. Their take on the boneless wing, ANJU’s K-Pops are always extra crispy and extra saucy.

With restaurants slowly reopening, remember to get supporting your local food trucks. Comment below if you have any trucks I should try out, who knows maybe they could land on the next list.
