    a food truck
    Cindy F.

    Chef J's Latin Dragon recently came to an event at my children's school. The food was very good. I tried the Dragon Chicken! I enjoyed it and would definitely get it again. The chicken was crunchy and the rice that it came with was also good. Everything was well packaged, and a decent amount of napkins were also provided. I'd definitely recommend giving this food truck a try if you are given the opportunity!

    Scallion Pancake Quesadilla
    Dan M.

    This truck was at a food festival I attended. They had 4 items on that particular day I believe. The chef was very friendly and explained each dish with detail. The meals are a hybrid of Asian and Latin cuisine. There were some very unique options. I went with the scallion pancake quesadilla with filet mignon ($10). It came with Monterey Jack cheese, mushrooms, roasted corn, and Pico de Gallo over fried rice. This was awesome. I really liked the creativity using a scallion pancake as the quesadilla base. It was crispy and the meat was extremely flavorful. It was also filled to capacity as well. The rice was a solid addition too. Will I go back? Definitely.

    We had the pleasure of eating at Chef J's food truck while attending the Branchburg Food Truck Festival. Everything they had looked delicious so it was hard to decide what to order. We ended up ordering the Filet Mignon Bulgogi Poke Power Bowl. The meat was cooked perfectly and so tender. All of the flavors of the dish blended together perfectly. It had pickled cucumbers, roasted corn, black beans, edamame, and mango kimchi topped with fried noodles and a chimi sauce served over Peruvian fried rice. The serving was huge for $12 I barely ate a third and they were kind enough to wrap it up for me to take home. We also ordered the Dragon Fried Chicken. That is twice fried chicken thighs in a teriyaki sauce served over Peruvian fried rice. This chicken was crispy and delicious and full of flavor. Again a large portion for $12 and we brought most of that home as well. We got to chat with Chef J and his wife Christina and they were both so nice and welcoming. We were so happy we chose this food truck today. Not only was the food delicious but the people were wonderful as well. If you see this food truck definitely pay them a visit!

    Bulgogi and ahi tuna bao

    These fusion bao were an interesting take. Tried them during the Mahwah food truck fest. Both ahi tuna bun and bulgogi bun were bursting with flavor just wasn't crazy about the fried steamed bun. Big cup of passionfruit tea was good.

    beef bhudda bowl

    got food from Chef J's truck at a convention yesterday. Their beef bowl was delicious and filling. For around $20(tip included) I think it was a great deal for the portion size - if I wasn't dealing with "forgot to eat all day" hunger, this would have been lunch and then leftovers the next day. Strong flavors but not spicy. Would definitely buy from their truck again :)

    Pork dumplings
    Kenya M.

    Chef J's came to my church for an event recently, so I decided to try it out. The pork pot stickers were ok. There was way more dumpling than pork which was disappointing. Also, the sauce poured over them had a good flavor but was on the VERY SWEET side. I would definitely ask for the sauce on the side next time. I have to say that this was one of the fastest food truck experiences ever. I placed my order, paid & was handed my food in about 2 minutes!! A negative for me is that they're cash only! I don't think anyone is thrilled to handle cash during this pandemic. Hopefully they'll start using cashapp or venmo as I've seen other food trucks do.

    Great displays of all good on his menu

    Amazing food. The quality of the food felt like I was eating at a five star restaurant. Really an excellent food truck experience.

    Just for the record - I am basing my review on take out, not going to the restaurant to sit down…read moreand eat. I want to love this place. I want to give this place a stellar review - but alas, with the items that I have gotten, I cannot. I've ordered from Dumpling Dojo a few times and have gotten different things each time. Their menu is filled with delicious-sounding entrees that have a unique spin, different from typical Chinese places. In addition, all the food is definitely made fresh using real ingredients. So what's the problem? Well...they do not season some of their food items properly - specifically, the sides / veggie entrees. The best thing about typical Chinese food restaurants is the preparation and sauce that goes along with the food - and as someone who does not cook their own Chinese food, I look forward to the sticky-sweet, savory flavors that Chinese-American food is associated with. I find that Dumpling Dojo lacks that. On the plus side, their General Tso's chicken is some of the best I've ever had - and their dumplings are solid. Not amazing, but solid (although I liked them better crisped up in the air fryer the next day). But the other things I've had just simply lacked flavor. For example, I ordered their veggie fried rice and found it incredibly bland and mushy. It was great heated up and doctored, but I want that experience out of the gate. I also ordered their lomein veggie bowl - man, what a disappointment! Basically, I received a container of steamed vegetables and boiled noodles - no sauce or anything. Again, if I put my own spin on it, it would be fine - but when I order out, I don't want to season my own food. It should be prepared as it. Also, I had the short rib buns and they were ok. The sweet potato fry topper was really stale and stiff, and the coleslaw seemed droopy and old - but it was fine. The delivery has also always come very quick, which is a plus as well. However, I don't want to order from a place where the food is hit-and-miss.

    Bao buns are amazing! So fluffy and veggies super fresh and crisp. Nice quiet place with friendly…read morestaff.
