| - Went to this food truck on a Wednesday night where some trucks make a stop in downtown. Being a SoCal boy, Asian, and loves Asian food, I really want to love this place. However, it just gave me reasons not to.
The service was great, as the lady was welcoming with a smile. On the other hand, I came here for the food, and it did not live up to expectations. For example, we had the vegetable stir fry. I am not sure if they were going the healthy route, but to be frank, it was bland. Of course it was fresh from the pan so it was steaming in my to go box, although every bite was exactly the same. It had crunch, I tasted the veggies, but that was about it. No salty flavor from the soy sauce or any spices to add to the mix. My wife and I were very disappointed. Although it could have gone up when we tried the Banh Mi...
And...another disappointment. The reason I love Banh Mis are the French baguette crunch, as you bite through the sandwhich it may be a little rough, but the spice and Asian flavors should mix in so well. I, on the other hand, had a sandwhich which bread was soggy from the juices of the meat/veggies. From my experience, this should be a somewhat dry sandwhich that relies on the spices and flavor from the meat/veggies to compliment the crispy baguette. No crispy baguette, and definitely a wet Banh Mi, which I was not looking forward to. I understand some Banh Mis may be different, but this is definitely not what I am used to from San Diego and LA.
I really want to like this place, as we need more great Asian places in Phoenix, but it definitely did not live up to what I expected. I hope to try the Pho out one day, but I have definitely experienced better.
