Sign in to reviewLOVE KUWAY! Local food truck that has Bomb Bahn mi and Vietnamese coffee! Has some other great options too for vegetarians if you want. Highly recommend trying it or adding it to your food truck treck.
I ordered delivery for lunch during work and it was amazing. The steamed bun sliders were fluffy and light with the most tender, flavorful pork and beef (pork is pictured, I ate both of the beef before I thought to take one). The Thai tea …
Rating: 3.8/5 [delivery] We ordered through DoorDash, and it took about an hour for the food to arrive. However, food wasn't bad for the price. Broken Rice Combo ($14.99): The pork egg roll was just okay--not crispy. The shrimp didn't taste fresh, and wasn't deveined, but the grilled pork and chicken were solid. Overall, a mid-tier broken rice plate. Sizzling Beef Plate / Bánh Mì Chảo ($15.50): This came with stir-fried marinated beef, Vietnamese pork meatballs, a sunny-side-up egg, pâté, Vietnamese mayo, a side salad, and toasted baguette. It looked like they mixed the pâté and mayo together--the sauce was super white and looked like bánh mì spread, so we used it that way. The beef was flavorful and well-marinated. The meatballs looked dry so I soaked them in the sauce before eating them. The salad was just a few slices of cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce leaves butworked as a refreshing contrast to all the salty proteins. Bánh Mì Grilled Pork ($8.99): Loved the grilled pork--flavorful with a good amount of meat. I didn't taste any pickled carrots/daikons, just a ton of cilantro. It also came with a side sauce and a Sriracha packet, which felt random. We ended up using the sauce for our rice instead.
Really disappointing overall. We were craving a chicken bahn mi and thought we’d give Kuway a try. I didn’t even want to finish mine. A good traditional bahn mi is bright, fresh, and full of crunch from the mint, basil, cilantro, and …
I went here because they offer zoodles (zucchini noodles) as a base so I figured I could get a good keto meal, but they SLATHERED sugar all over the carrots, cucumber, and pork. I truly don't understand the appeal of SUGARY carrots (??) or pork with THAT much sugar on it. Plus there was absolutely no salt on anything except the meat. I don't like cold, flavorless zucchini and unsalted cucumber. And the "grilled" (sugared and fried) pork tasted like they hadn't cleaned their griddle in days.
