Bahay Kubo Food Truck - Home of the Filipino Bánh Mì

Amazing food & staff!! The calamansi-ade is the perfect amount of sour, and the bao tacos are a perfect fusion of flavors and textures. Definitely recommend if their truck is in the area!

Staff were really friendly and despite it being so busy, the food came out quite fast. I got the pulled pork adobo banh mi and the longanisa dumpling.The dumpling didn't stand out to me, and to be honest I think could use vinegar to balance out the richness of the meat.The banh mi we got was good. The banh mi was the perfect texture of crisp yet soft and was easier to eat than expected. I just wish the adobo flavor was stronger.

This truck was at bike dog brewery in west sac the other day. I ordered the chicken Shanghai lumpia and they were sooo good. Came with cilantro, lettuce and a sweet chili sauce. The lumpia longer than normal and for $5 you got two. I'd definitely recommend this truck.

Bahay Kubo was at the Yelp Event at Poppy and Pot yesterday and I'm so glad we got to experience their food truck!They gave out free samples of their Calamansi-Nade that was super refreshing and some of the best lemonade we've had. We liked it so much that we ordered a full size to share! We also ordered the Lumpia that was big enough to share between the 3 of us! It was super flavorful and came with a sweet chili dipping sauce.The service was very friendly and I heard they sell out of items on most days so you know that means they are pretty popular! The food came out fairly quickly as well. My only regret is that we didn't try more of their food items! Their Banh Mi's looked amazing! I'm hungry now just typing up this review!Check them out if you see them parked out and about -- you will not be disappointed!

Bahay Kubo food truck was at a Holiday Sip & Shop fair at Hanford Ranch winery. I arrived to the event a bit peakish. I headed straight to the food trucks. The aromas coming from Bahay Kubo was heavenly. It was a no brainer that I headed straight there first. The cashier was super friendly and when I asked about certain items, she easily provided a the information. She was quite knowledgeable. The food did not disappoint. The dumplings were delicious!! I am still thinking about those dumplings. Awe-Mazing dumplings!! So darn flavorful with the spices and garlic. Moist, juicy, hefty sized dumplings. Mmm. The Shanghai chicken lumpia was fried to a perfect crackly, golden crisp. I did not try their signature Filipino banh mi sandwich. Well I suppose I gotta give 'em a try next time.

A fun & delicious ode to Vietnamese banh mí! Bahay Kubo's take on one of my favorites definitely delivers!Made on fresh a fresh baguette with your choice of protein (chicken tocino, grilled pork insal, pork kahlua, beef birria, tofu bulgogi) topped with fresh veggies cucumbers, cilantro, onions, atchara, & here's where it gets interesting- I took a bite - DEEELICOUS! Garlic peanuts! Definitely added an extra layer of flavor with calamansi aioli, chipotle aioli & an in-house chili oil on the side with a chopped whole jalepeno to enjoy! Generous on the amount of sandwich I got. Sometimes there can be a lot more bread than what's inside- not the case here! Good portion of proteins and veggies. It was such a hot day that I only finished half & washed it down with a cold calamansi-nade.Happy I was able to catch them as they've been on my list for some time! The woman at the window was sweet, and welcomed customers with a smile. Order was ready in less than 15 mins and I paid no more than $20. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos- but I enjoyed the food and experience and can't wait to try again!

It's been a long time coming for me to try this place. Ever since I first laid eyes on Bahay Kubo through IG over a year ago, I've had it near the top of my list to try. Like how can someone not be interested in "the home of the Filipino Banh Mi?" Happy to report that I finally got to try it, and felt satisfied? The prices are a bit higher than you'd expect for regular banh mi but that's the thing - these aren't just your average banh mi, these are Filipino banh mi. Although, I didn't get any noticeably Filipino taste from the chicken. Besides its elongated shape, the lumpia wasn't too special either. But the turnover dessert I would highly recommend if you can get it. The crust is nice and flaky, but the filling really made it standout. Plus the whole thing was never cloyingly sweet. Overall, I'm glad I can finally cross this off my list and can move on to trying what other food trucks Sac has to offer.

We sampled some items from this food truck last month and I really loved the unique and interesting options. We tried a couple orders of dumplings and the bao taco. I liked the dumpling meat but the dumplings were a bit overcooked, almost charred, and it negatively impacted the overall taste. I tried discarding the outside and eating the insides in the chili sauce but it was a little vinegary tasting to me but my husband really enjoyed the dumplings and the sauce. The bao taco was delicious and definitely a highlight for me. It was soft and fluffy with lots of fresh toppings. It had great flavor and is such an inventive idea. I definitely hope to stop by this truck again to try more of their offerings.

Had the grilled pork sandwich and Calamansi Juice (Lemonade). The bread on the sandwich was a perfect consistency. The pickled veggies were not at sour as the traditional ones in a Viet Banh Mi but was also delicious. The pork was tender and flavorful. The Calamansi Juice was refreshing and sweet. Two thumbs up!

Delicious!! We got the dumplings and the tofu bulgogi and it was soooo yummy! Check them out :)
