Bumbu Truck

As an Indonesian, I've wanted to try Bumbu truck ever since I discovered we have an Indonesian food truck here in town. However their stops are never close to where I've lived or worked. Until more recently as chance would have it, we had an appointment near Bothell area and they posted they would be in the surrounding area that day. We made a quick stop there on our way to our appointment.After circling the large office complex, we located the food truck and immediately placed our order. I'm a satay lover so naturally I ordered the Satay with Fried Rice which comes with 3 skewers, fried rice and side salad. He got the Curry Over Fried Rice which comes with a yellow chicken curry, friend rice, one satay and a side salad. It was too cold in the parking lot, we went somewhere else and found a picnic table at a park that we could enjoy our late lunch at. There was only one man working in the food truck who was super friendly and welcoming. He offered us a sample of their delicious sambal (you can taste the terasi/belacan in it). Though, there was a little oversight that the bowl which the curry was served in didn't come with a lid. We weren't informed of it so we spilled the curry all over in the car. We were able to save half of the curry. Regardless, I personally think the food were all delicious. You could taste all the seasonings - though I prefer the spices to be a tad stronger (if I'm being picky). The satay was all soft covered in a delicious satay peanut sauce and you can further dip your satay in a sweet soy dipping sauce. The fried rice is savory, garlicky, sweet and salty.. accompanied with a fresh chopped salad.. On such a biting-cold windy Seattle afternoon, the warm, flavorful and fragrant meals truly hit the spot.

The cute Bumbu Truck lunch was un-inspiring and over priced. Parked in the North Creek area of Bothell, on the edge of walking trails though the suburban sprawl of low rise office building, this food truck ruined my lunch.This was my first time visit, I had high hopes for a new lunch option (truck) as we meander back to our offices. Instead, I was served a lunch consisting of a single flavor. I ordered the "Undecided" $15, a sampling of several items. Thumbs down to the refried rice and noodles, marginal acceptance of the chicken on skewer, and a "nice" rating to the time little salad on the side. There is no thought, fore-sight, effort, or creativity added to this hastily assembled lunch. It was just an over-salted plate of reheated food that should have never been cooked in the first place. I only ate about half, that is all I could pallet. The unfortunate part is, I drove by 2 other "Asian" inspired, strip mall places that serve far better lunch than the "Undecided" $15 meal.No, I do not recommendNo, I will not be back.Yes, I am now decided. No more Bumbu Truck for me.

This food truck is not bad. When we went to grab it, we were alone in the line and it look maybe 3 minutes to get our food, which was excellent. The food itself is definitely quick street food- it's pretty greasy. It's got decent tasty to it, but reminded me of Chinese takeout, but with Indonesian flavor.I quite liked the the chicken satay and peanut sauce, that was great! Fried rice was good too. I wasn't a fan of the noodles, but the fiancé was. Overall, it's not bad and a great quick option for dinner or lunch!

Bland and small portions but satisfying. I don't know Indonesian food well but I didn't expect bland. Had the "Undecided plate".

Food was average, very average. What bothers me the most is how my total was $27.00 but somehow my card was charged over $5.00 more and I wasn't given an option to tip in the first place. I would have tipped if given the option myself; I don't appreciate the owners helping themselves to it. Another possibility: there is a debit card fee. That would have been nice to know. I realize it's 5 bucks but it's principle. Doubt I'll order from them again.

Bumbu comes by regulary to our office and I have had them a couple of times. We get a list of food trucks emailed to us monthly, and if I forgot to bring a lunch and see Bumbu on the list for the day, I usually don't mind grabbing a lunch from their truck!Prices: typical food truck pricesI have had:- Undecided Combo- Chicken SatayI really like their satay and egg roll. As for the noodles rice and salad that comes with the Undecided Combo, it's alright, nothing overly amazing. The lunch box is filling though. I love Asian food so whenever I see an Asian food truck in my work parking lot, I am usually more than happy to buy food from them!

Delicious food made with care!I had the "Undecided Combo" for $15. The food was super tasty, not greasy at all. The salad was fresh and had a nice light dressing.The noodles, rice, and meat were all cooked perfectly. Perfect amount of peanut sauce. Will definitely go back to this food truck!

I was very excited that my apartment building brought this food truck in for us. The menu looked promising and the plates sounded like they were going to be good. I ordered my food and I was taken care of by a very kind woman. The business seems family owned. I ordered the "The Undecided Combo" which brings "Fried Rice, Stir Fry Noodle, 1 Lumpia, 2 Chicken Satay, Salad" and my boyfriend ordered the "Chicken Curry Over Fried Rice" which brings "Fried Rice, Chicken Curry, 1 Chicken Satay, Salad". The food tooks over 30 minutes to make. As soon as I opened our food I was disappointed. The portions were really small for what we paid. At first bite the food tasted bad. The rice had a weird taste and our chicken did not taste like chicken. The food seemed like it was old even though I saw them cooking after I ordered. Maybe it was a one off chance, but I will not be giving this place another chance. The food was just not good.

I had these guys before and their Indonesian food is super delicious! Today I went for their Lumpia and they were super good. I enjoyed the lightness of the crispy texture before biting into the soft and moist veggies. It came with a small sweet and sour sauce which was really nice.The gentleman that took my order was very friendly and super quick in getting my order ready. Really friendly folks with excellent food. I highly recommend them, try them out and enjoy!

Food was very overpriced, wasn't seasoned it was very bland. When I found out they were coming o was exited but it was not good at all.
