Food Truck Review - Korean BBQ

Food Truck Review - Korean BBQ Box Truck

I love Food Trucks! And I am really glad that workers in Arlington, VA have many options for lunch other than the brick and mortar stores.  I follow many of the food trucks on Twitter so I know that there are many lunchtime options at the Rosslyn area today. I've enjoyed many meals from many food trucks but this is the first time I'd ever thought of writing a review (duh!)

Today, I tried a new truck (new to me), the Korean BBQ Box truck. I’ve seen it many times before so they’ve been around for a couple of months at least.  Each Korean bbq box meal come with salad (with  ginger dressing), Korean side dishes (1 spicy chicken wing, 2 pcs fried cheese roll) and an Asian yogurt drink (I call it Yakult. Every Asian person I know grew up drinking this stuff. This was our Go-Gurt in the ‘80s!)

I wish I'd taken a picture of their menu but they have beef bulgogi with rice, chicken teriyaki with rice, spicy pork with rice, plus taco versions of those and spicy wings box. Prices are from $7.99 to $9.99. I picked bulgogi taco which is one 8" flour tortilla filled with bulgogi (sauteed with sliced onions), shredded lettuce and sauce. Base price was $7.99 plus tax.

Salad - nothing special. Iceberg Lettuce, some carrot strings but dressing was good.

Spicy wing - crunchy, sauce was tasty but not too spicy

Yogurt drink - I've always loved it

Fried cheese roll - don't know what to make of it. It's okay. It's breaded on the outside for crunch with a mayo based sauce on top.  It didn't taste overly cheesy which was nice.

Taco - omg so messy. And I don't like messy food especially when eating on my office desk. But the bulgogi was good and tasty.

Verdict: Not my favorite Asian taco but I enjoyed the extras they include in the meal. Maybe the rice box option would have been better. If I really want Asian fusion taco, I'd choose TaKorean or Lemongrass.
