Mandoline Grill
Owner Mong Skillman grew up eating traditional bánh mì sandwiches and bowls of bún thịt nướng, both as a daughter and regular customer at her mother’s Vietnamese restaurant in Honolulu’s Chinatown. Believing that her mother’s cuisine was far too flavorful to be kept an island secret, she left her day job in LA in 2007, and returned to Hawaii to study in her mother’s kitchen, determined to bring her family’s light, bright and savory dishes to the masses.In the fall of 2009, Mandoline Grill launched at the Verdugo Bar in Glassell Park. For these first few months, Mong supplied her own fryers, toaster oven, and coolers, basically throwing a backyard cookout at the beloved Eastside bar. As support grew, Mong started riding shotgun and working shifts on the Dosa Truck, just to get a hang of the food truck life before hitting the streets in her own truck this past February 2010. Now Mong has the privilege of introducing her mother’s inspirational flavors to LA (and beyond!) as she drives the Mandoline Grill truck from Orange County to Echo Park to Santa Monica, offering fresh, crisp vegan and carnivore-friendly bánh mì sandwiches, and of course, her mother’s famous bún thịt nướng noodle bowls.

Food Truck Haven, Orange, CA

I stopped at Food Truck Haven on Thursday night, originally to get a bite at Poke Hut Truck (@thePokeHut). Unfortunately, they were out of tuna, and I am not a fan of salmon, so I told them I would have to try them again next time.

Poke Hut Truck

I had other great choices:
– Ragin Cajun (@CajunonWheels).
Cajun food on wheels! This truck was seen on the Great Food Truck Race, season 1, but food truck fans are more familiar with the animated owner, Stephen Domingue.

– Adobo Express Truck (@AdoboExpressOC)
Filipino food truck serving up adobo rice bowls, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, tacos, and, of course, lumpias (filipino style eggrolls).

– Hobo Co. Pizza (@HoboCoPizza)
A mobile pizza truck serving up customized, personal sized pizzas for one price.

– and for dessert Haole boys Shave Ice (@HBShaveIce)
Just like going back to the Islands…. and they even have a secret menu

It was a difficult decision, but I decided to have dinner from Adobo Express and dessert from Haole Boys
