Barya Kitchen

I had no idea I started following Barya on Instagram in 2021! Finally got to try them this past October at the Filipino & Mexican American Heritage month Oasis Makers Fair at the Tetra Hotel in Sunnyvale. WOW that's a mouthful, which is exactly what'll happen once you order Barya's freshly cooked grub!Made to order rice "bowls", lumpia, tacos, & more!Eats:*Pork Sisig Bowl*Beef Bistek Bowl*Combo with 2 lumpias*Birria Lumpia*Turon (banana lumpia with jackfruit dipping sauce)*Ube Black Sesame HorchataOrder at the left window & pay with Venmo or Zelle to avoid a 3% credit card processing fee. I totally forgot last time. They'll hand you a buzzer to let you know when it's time to collect the goods at the right window.Customer service has always been courteous and efficient. Food comes out pretty quickly when there's no line. Expect a wait when it's busy of course.The sisig is a bit too fatty for my taste but I love the bistek! Chopped tender beef with a pan fried exterior served with hot steamed rice, sautéed onions, green onions, pickled red cabbage, and a lime wedge. Don't forget the crispy lumpia! Rolled like cigars and filled with tasty meat filling. Dunk it in sweet and sour sauce. The birria lumpia comes with warm consommé.Turon normally has langka (jackfruit) in it but Barya keeps it modern with a sweet dipping sauce instead! OMG get their ube black sesame horchata! It's not too sweet but super addicting. Sad to say I'm a Filipino that's not too into ube but I love this stuff! I am also a huge fan of black sesame and cinnamon rice milk so yeah. Can't wait to order from them again!

I hired Barya Kitchen to cater a family event. Amazing food! My guests had never really tried Filipino food and they loved it. Highest compliment was that we had a bunch of 3-6 year olds who kept coming back for multiple rounds of chicken inihaw and bistek. Even the pickiest eaters didn't stand a chance when served Chef Rod's creations. My personal favourite however will always be the oxtail lumpia. Selina was super responsive to emails and overall the whole experience was just awesome. If you ever have the chance, defo try their truck or consider having them cater your next event.

Whenever I see Barya Kitchen's truck at an event, I don't care who else is there, I'm eating Filipino food. The owners, Rod & Selina, are the sweetest & such hard-working people! I'm always greeted by Selina at the window with a smile! Even during the summer events when it is hot as balls (& I know the inside of the truck is significantly hotter), I see them hustling to get those orders out.There is a reason they always have a line & sell out early on. My go-to order is the pork sisig rice bowl. For $20, you get a good amount of food that'll fill you up! I love the blend of flavors (the more vinegary, the better in my opinion) with the combination of rice (2 scoops) & side of pickled veggies. Their lumpia is also a great option for a snack. You can definitely tell that they make everything by hand & they're not skimping out by selling those frozen grocery store ones. I always look forward to seeing their truck at events & can't wait to see them again soon!

Stopped by the San Jose's Westside Feast Fest and decided to try Barya Kitchen's truck. It was a very warm afternoon so I was grateful for the large canopy to stand under while I made up my mind on what to order. The menu is small and many items were sold out by the time I arrived. Opted for the Shanghai, lumpia and Turon. Customer service was good as I was greeted with a smile by both of the owners who work the truck. LUMPIA - 5 pieces for $14 These were tasty although pretty skinny and cooked to order so they were nice and hot. TURON - 2 pieces for $9. These were really good. I love banana desserts so I enjoyed these. Both items came with one itty bitty teeny tiny dippy sauce each. Would ask for more if I come back again. These were both tasty but way too expensive in my opinion. Over $25 for two very small appetizer items was a little shocking. I might give one of their meals a try if I stumble on this truck again but not sure I'd intentionally seek them out.

Tried the Birria Lumpias with consomme and the Pork Sisig.The Pork Sisig tasted more like dry version pork belly adobo. It was good but didn't have the sisig flavor which is usually a hint of sourness from lemon or mayo and a light spicy kick from jalapeno. Could not taste the Jack cheese from the lumpia filling. Meat was pretty muted that I could taste more of the wrapper. They were crispy. Some of the Lumpias had hollow sections, no meat filling. Consomme was good. Pretty pricey. But service was quick and staff were nice.

Couldn't resist getting the ube sesame horchata. It was sweet and you can definitely taste the sesame and ube flavor. It was too sweet for me even with the ice. There was a long line but service was quick probably because I only got the drink.

Rod and Selena are an amazing couple reppin the Filipino community with their awesome food. Sisig, bistek, birria and turon are a few of my faves. Watch out for their specials. If you ever see the beef salpicao, go for it.

I tried Barya Kitchen a couple weeks ago when they came to Stanford and I was SO impressed. I got a birria taco and an order of lumpia. The food came out fairly quickly which I appreciated. This lumpia was the BEST I've ever had. Absolutely delicious, no notes. They were hot, they were fresh, and the flavor was amazing. The taco was really delicious as well. I would definitely say the prices are well worth it at this food truck as the food is really high quality!

Love this truck! Filipino fusion. This truck came to my work and oh my do I hope they come back!!!BIRRIA LUMPIA! Does anything else need to be said?It is $15 for 6 pieces of birria lumpia with consume. The flavor was delicious and the meat was lean. The birria had a great rich flavor and the fry oil for the lumpia was fresh. No aftertaste like you often get from food trucks. My co worker had placed an order earlier and they had left one item out by accident. I went to get it for her and they apologized profusely. They made her a fresh plate and even gave us an extra order of lumpia to apologize for the error. That is above and beyond service. Great customer service, delicious tasting food, and two of my favorite foods fused together successfully = 1 completely satisfied tummy!I can't wait to experience the other items on their menu!

Really excellent options, tasty food, and great service! Wish the truck was closer to San Francisco, CA!
