Blue Saigon Truck

I am in love with the Blue Saigon Truck. There, it’s out in the open now. I saw them at «off the grid» on Saturday, in the willows shopping center. My usual tactic with Off the Grid is to walk the line, see all my options, then see how many yummy options we can share and sample.
My son went for:
— a gourmet hot dog truck (a bit of a bust)
— lumpiah (YUM)
I went for:
— the fried fish Bahn Mi Sammy from the «Blue Saigon Truck»
My son and I split the Bahn mi and declared it the best thing we had ever eaten. This is a seriously authentic and fresh take on the Bahn mi. The pickled carrots and veggies perfectly balance the special sauce and jalapeño heat. The bread is super soft on the inside, yet slightly crisp on the outer shell. The fish delicately fried, the herbs freshly picked and inserted. When you bite into one of these treasures, you need to relax and enjoy.
After trying their fish Bahn Mi in concord and walnut creek — I am ready to try their phở, their pork version Bahn mi, anything else they have for me
Great job

Great Find of Vietnamese Fusion food. (If you’re heading toward Walnut Creek Shadelands, give them a try.) Bang for your buck; the tacos are pretty big. The chicken and pull pork are very delicious. Next time, I’ll do without the mayo sauce, since the spices of the meat with the pickled carrots and daikon do fine on it’s own. (my preference)

Off the Grid in Hayward is where I tried this truck. Ordered the pulled pork banh mi slider, fish tempura bahn mi and garlic noodles. I must say, it was pretty dang delicious. Nice portion of noodles and good sized sliders. I’ll be craving their food again.
–1 star for price. I was going to order shrimp with the noodles, but an extra $ 4 for 4 pieces I shrimp? I think not.
Definitely try this truck!

The Vietnamese sandwich with pork was excellent. Very good pork rounded out nicely with a tasty bun. I’ll be going back.

I usually catch these guys at Off the Grid. I’m in love with their tacos! The tempura fish one is my favorite but the pork and chicken ones are awesome too. The sauce on them is so so good. I always do the 3 taco thing with one of each and its pretty filling. Garlic noodles look and smell awesome but I haven’t tried em yet because I can’t pull myself off the tacos! Anyways Blue Saigon is super yummy and staff is friendly so if you want some delicious Vietnamese fusion food, give em a try!

Round 1 (sometime earlier this summer)
Watermelon
Coconut juice
Pulled pork banh mi
spicy chicken banh mi
Warrior dog
total $ 25
Totally worth it
I really enjoyed the dog & preferred the pork over the spicy chicken. French bread is fresh baked & crunchy outside soft inside.
Round 2 (near the end of summer days)
Garlic Noodles w/​glazed prawns
Pulled pork banh mi
Crispy tempura fish banh mi
Thai iced tea
Total $ 24.50
+5 avg sized prawns were salty but better paired with plain white rice.
Pulled pork juice all over my shirt but I’m not complaining cause I’m a messy eater.
Tempura fish was good.
Thai iced tea was my favorite.
It’s not very relaxing sitting in the parking lot with no shade trying to enjoy your tasty lunch so I suggest taking it to go.
Also it seems the menu changes frequently so you never know what kind of specials they might have. The pork belly burger has thus far eluded me and the first time around there was no thai iced tea.

I love the garlic noodles with glazed prawns. Noodles are flavorful, not to heavy on the garlic, shrimp have a good flavor and the parmesan just takes it over the top. They have other options besides the garlic noodles but I can’t seem to stray from that deliciousness. I took one star away only because they never have the nacho’s! I’ve seen pics on here of the nacho’s and they look delish but when they come to Bishop Ranch the only options I see are taco’s or noodles. Still a big fan though and will definitely be keeping my eye out for those good nachos!

Gave ‘em a try at SLZ Food Truck Mafia.
The menu was limited tacos, banh mis and phở. I ordered the taco trio ($ 8.) 2 spicy chicken and 1 pulled pork.
The truck wasn’t busy my order was ready in less than 10 minutes.
Order taker wasn’t friendly, no greeting. I asked what was on the tacos (the menu didn’t say the ingredients) she gave a blank stare and then recited it. I asked specifically if there was sauce and she told me no. As you can see from my pic there was.
Both type tacos were good. I enjoyed the pulled pork the best. The ingredients besides the protein was shredded lettuce & carrots topped with a cream sauce on a corn tortilla.
Portion was average and appropriate for the price. If you are starving 3 tacos probably won’t satisfy.

Saw Blue Saigon for the first time at the SLZ Street Eats so decided to give it a try in addition to my regular Go Streatery eats. Unfortunately they weren’t serving any of the items I wanted to try after looking at their menu online like the shaking beef taco, garlic noodles and prawns, or pork belly banh mi. So we settled for their 3 tacos for $ 8 and tried the pulled pork, spicy chicken, and tempura fish, all of which are pretty tasty. Good snack but not quite enough for a meal so we ended up back at Go Streatery for another round.

Pretty mediocre. The stuff on their standard menu can sometimes be good and sometimes totally blah, which makes no sense. They should be more consistent.
I have found better luck in ordering their specials, especially the Warrior Dog.
Otherwise, I would not make a special trip out to see them

Worked as a contract worker for 2 years in WC Shadelands, and was there when this food truck started service there.
Working in bland food land is difficult, so it was exciting for me to have this option; however, they just aren’t up to snuff. Bahn mi? More like Poor me. A TON of bread, and not much else. Pork belly is quite good, but very, very fatty and not cooked to appreciate the fat. Fried fish sandwich is a nicely fried piece of Tilapia. Not bad, pretty good… not very flavorful overall, though. Not for the price.
Sometimes they’d have a good noodle dish, but that was intermittent. Usually, it was the same old same old with very little flavor and little spice of any interest.
Shaking beef? WTF is that? I don’t get it. I got the tacos a couple times, and both times I was pretty disappointed. It was okay, but nothing to write home about.
Almond salad? I could buy this at a local 7 – 11 and get the same thing. For less.
Overall, they have a lot of promise if they really, really step up their game. I
If they’re really going to follow the food truck hype they seriously, VERY seriously need to step up their game. They work at an industrial park, but in competition with the serious contenders, failure is in the cards.

Tried Blue Saigon for the first time at a company event. Who can turn down fusion tacos topped with spicy mayo? The fish tacos were my favorite; they were perfectly battered and full of flavor. You won’t be disappointment with this gourmet food truck:)
Seems like their menu has more than just tacos, phở and Banh Mi. If I run into this truck again, I’ll definitely try the Banh Mi.

These guys were in Oakland for First Fridays /​Art Murmur so I tried their taco trio combo. The beef and chicken were so-​so, but the pork was exceptionally good. 8 bucks for 3 good tacos was still a bit expensive, but tasty for a food truck. They’re pretty small too, I think I could’ve eaten one more with no problem. Give them a try if you see them in town.

This is by my workplace on Wednesday and my co-​worker told me about, so decided to try it one day. I had the chicken phở and the pulled pork taco. The chicken phở hit the spot on a cold day and the taco was huge and delicious. I would go for the tacos again.
I wish there was bean sprouts with the phở and I wish they served vietnamese ice coffee and then I would bump up the place by one more star…=) Other than that, it was good food. Definitely be back.

Union City– tried garlic noodles w shrimp = yum!
San Lorenzo– tried the crab fusion tostada = bombtastic! Spicy deliciousness topped w pickled carrots & guac on a crispy shell. $ 4

They come every Weds to WC Shadelands in my hood so how could I not go there? We’ve tried quite a few dishes. It’s not cheap but comparable to other food trucks, it’s trendy so I wasn’t surprised. Note that there is a .50 charge for CC now (bummer) but I remember to bring cash. My personal favs here are:
Shaking Beef Tacos, Crab Tostada & Pork Belly Carmelized Bahn Mi
The garlic noodles with shrimp are good too but wish it had more shrimp but noodles are very garlicky.
They just recently added chicken noodle phở (on special) & it was very tasty & chicken was the way I like it which was rotisserie. Pretty good food for when you want your Vietnamese Fusion Fix. Worth a try. We are food truckers & they’re pretty good!

I’ve been dying to find some food trucks here in the burbs, but it’s been tough! Stupid burbs. Finally came across these guys in Walnut Creek at Shadelands Drive.
They had a few things on their menu, but the crab banh mi was calling my name. It was a bit pricey I must say ($ 9), but it was decent. Good bread to filling ratio. Liked the fresh radish and other ingredients that they put on there. Liked that the veggies were crisp, not all saucy and soggy. Thai iced tea was gloriously refreshing.
Will definitely try this place again, but will most likely stick with the lower priced items.
If you’re looking for them, they appear on Shadelands on Wednesdays and now Fridays. Apparently sometimes there’s a Peruvian truck there too.

I’ve seen this truck parked here in the Shadelands Office Park for the last few Wednesdays & know quite a few people that have gotten food from there. Today was the first time that I bought lunch from there though. I ordered the ‘Pork Belly Burger’ since one of the specials for today was already sold out — garlic noodles with shrimp — and that’s what I wanted to order. Actually, even their thai iced tea was sold out and it had only been 1hr since they parked there!
The burger was tasty. The pork belly (which is pretty much just thick slices of bacon) was a little on the fatty side, but of course that’s where all the flavor is. I’ve never been a fan of spring mix greens, but with the dressing they used, I didn’t even taste the bitterness of the greens. Good job. The price of $ 6 wasn’t so bad, but I think they should’ve offered a side of something for that price, not just the burger itself.
I’ll be back to try another dish… hopefully it won’t be sold out so early.

I want to start off by saying that the staff is extremely friendly. I really appreciate how the owner tried to connect with me and he was funny, too.
I got two Shaking Beef Tacos, the Spicy Nachos, and a Thai Iced Tea for a grand total of $ 15. I would have been happy to pay this much if the taste of the food matched the price, but I was somewhat disappointed.
First of all, the nachos was an extra $ 2 because I added beef, but that was my mistake because I didn’t read the sign correctly. However, they added a sparse amount of beef for $ 2. The nachos come with cheese, jalapenos, olives, and tomatoes. They were pretty tasty but not mind blowingly good.
The tacos were not good enough for $ 3/​taco. They come with lettuce, beef, tomato. I was expecting a lot more flavor for my buck especially when other places sell tacos for $ 1.50.
However, I do believe this place has huge potential. And a huge plus is that they take card. But at the end of the day, the taste of the food does not match what they’re charging.
