    We attended the Salem, MA, food truck festival on Sunday. We started here at Gogi; having served in South Korea in the Army, it's always fun to get a taste! Since we wanted to try multiple trucks, we opted for the Pork Salad. It was ready in a flash, and we dug in. It was a bit heavily dressed, but the flavors were good: the pork was tender, and the veggies were crisp. I found the dressing a bit sweet, but had I known there was a spicy sauce pooled at the bottom; I would have stirred the whole thing up before digging in. The guy at the window was terrific at customer service and super friendly. Plus, the little girl was so cute, smiling and waving to customers. I will follow them and see if they are ever in the area again. PS friend had the beef burrito and enjoyed it.

    They're back!! The Gogi on the Block truck took a brief winter break but they're back in action on Dewey Square and the Rose Kennedy Greenway space near the Boston Harbor Hotel. As delicious as ever. Thank you Sean and Lance!

    Usually I bring my lunch to save some money, but one of my co-workers convinced me to try this food truck! I quickly became a huge fan and looked forward to the truck on schedule every week. They have also consistently showed up when scheduled unlike some of the other food trucks we have tried. The line for this truck gets extremely long the closer to 12PM, so we go early. I love this family run business and it's nice seeing their friendly faces behind the truck. I have talked with them directly on social media (Instagram) several times about stories I've posted, and they are very responsive! When I shared with them that one of my bowls wasn't of the same quality I was used to receiving, they immediately apologized and comped the next bowl! I really appreciate that they are receptive to feedback! Their bowls are so tasty and filling! The combination of protein, rice, various veggies and their sauce meld together for a truly flavorful experience. The standard rice bowl, burrito, or salad bowl are ~$9. On days when I want something extra, I get the kimchi fried rice (+$2). Otherwise the white rice also goes great especially with the sweet bulgogi beef. The sweet & spicy pork and chicken are also good options but I think the beef is still my favorite. I have also ordered double/extra meat (+$2) and to be honest I can't tell the difference. Their veggies also always taste fresh and crisp. Only questions are do they have a rewards card or loyalty program haha for people who frequently indulge and a future standalone restaurant (would love to share with friends who don't work around Boston)?! Their menu also offers smoothies, but I haven't tried those yet. Maybe next time!

    Was super excited to try this food truck given high yelp ratings. Ordered their salad bowl which was advertised as having "a lot more veggies;" my bowl constituted of salad leaves, sprouts and radish - felt a bit misled. The sauce had some great flavor, so feel the need to try the rice bowl to see if I am missing something, but this did not live up to the hype for me.

    You gotta try this place, I'm telling ya. I had rice bowl and burrito from this place and I was more than satisfied with their dishes. Their bulgogi and dweji bulgogi both taste great and has just a right amount of spicy in them! Service is nice and quick as well!

    Great food and fresh ingredients! The owner is super friendly! Look forward to seeing both trucks back on the road! Forgot to take a photo of the bulgogi beef salad before I finished it...very yummy! Must try!

    Gogi bulgogi bowls

    Literally my most favorite food truck in Boston. I've convinced new friends to order them at SoWa and will drag any work friends I can to their offerings. A respite from the week, Gogi is our go-to office lunch aka the Thursday feast. Every bowl I've ever gotten from the truck is perfection. The formula is clear but the magic comes together in generous layers of rice sprinkled with quinoa, beansprouts, salad, pickled veggies, with soft bulgogi beef -- and of course the sauces that bring it all together. More than filling! Enough to get me through the rest of Thursday. While I've tried the dweji bulgogi and heard good things about the garlicky tofu versions, I love the tried-and-true never-let-me-down simplicity of the bulgolgi rice bowl. The truck itself too is owner/family-run and customer service/wait time is top-notch. Despite record long lines maybe 30 people deep, I've never waited longer than 10 minutes or so. I honestly could not think of anything else to improve Gogi on the Block, aside from opening up a permanent storefront. Until next week Gogi *virtual wave*

    dewji bulgogi burrito!
    Kim M.

    Oh man I had my eye on Gogi on the Block ALL summer and when the day finally came and I braved the line, Gogi did not disappoint. I went with a burrito for my first go-round. Went with Dweji Bulgogi - because I love me some spice with everything - that heavenly Korean flavored meat in addition to their special gochuchang and sesame sauce is just an explosion in your mouth! I don't know if i can ever get around to the bowl because the burrito is just provides the PERFECTLY BALANCED BITE. I will try and break this habit though because I do want to try that kimchi fried rice. I thought the burrito was tiny at first but it must just be conditioning as a result of all seeing the size of fast casual places like Sabrosa, Chipotle, or Anna's. However it was just right. Kept me full until my next meal and didn't make me feel uncomfortably full. It does make you want to eat burrito after burrito though so ... just don't go back or double down and you'll do just fine.

    Might be the best food truck around. The white rice bowl is what I get but the kimchi looks great too. The flavors all mix together really well and is light as well. Price wise on the higher side but not going to burn your pockets.

    Rice bowl with bulgogi
    Mike D.

    I've been to Gogi on the Block many times now. It's a relatively new Korean Fusion food truck serving the traditional bulgogi. I'm confident in saying that this is one of the best food trucks in the city. Bulgogi (literal translation: "fire meat") are thin, marinated strips of tender meat. Gogi on the Block takes bulgogi as a base ingredient, and serves it in a rice bowl, a burrito, or a salad. I've had the rice bowl with regular rice, and with the kimchi rice upgrade. I greatly preferred the kimchi upgrade: It gave a little spicy, fermented punch to the rice and an additional layer of flavor. Everything in the rice bowl tastes phenomenal. I could sit and eat a bottomless bowl of it for years. There's a combination of two main sauces that compliment each other: The sesame sauce is a tangy orange, while the gochujang sauce has a spicy depth of flavor without burning out your sinuses or scorching your taste buds. The meat is beyond tasty: seasoned with a heavy hand, tender, juicy, and covered in a sweet Korean BBQ sauce that cools down the fermented spice of the gochujang. The rice and lettuce soak up all of the sauces, making it the least-dry rice bowl you'll find. The cool, crisp lettuce cuts through the spicy and savory sauces. The end result on your palette is a delicious dance of spice, sweet, savory, and cool crispness. It's a little on the expensive side, $11 with a single upgrade, around $9 for a normal meal. But it's completely worth it.

    Aside from the fact that I waited a while (but that's because they're crazy popular), it was all so worth it. The portion may look deceiving, but with that insanely intense smack of flavor, it was just right. I ordered the rice bowl that contained veggies of the day, bean sprouts, pickled radish, salsa, cheese, and their amazing gochujang sauce ($9), and switched out the white rice with kimchi fried rice (+$2). With a choice of meat, I easily picked bulgogi. And holy did that taste like heaven in my mouth. The amount of flavor is amazing. The bulgogi was tender and the sauce was rich, with the crunch of the lettuce and the bean sprouts, flavors were dancing in my mouth. Literally hits you right at the first bite. It truly was one of the best Korean fusion food I have ever eaten. No doubt I will be going here again. $11 that I would easily spend again.

    We visited the Gogi food truck across from the carousels near Rowes Wharf. There's usually a fair amount of places to sit and eat on the freeway. It's probably one of my favorite things to do during lunch. I ordered the pork bulgogi bowl with fried Kim chi and my wife tried the beef bulgogi with salad. The bowls come up with tomatoes, pickled daikon, bean sprouts, spring mix, and a house made sweet sauce. Both bowls were delicious and my only complaint would be that sometimes theres too much sauce and makes the bowl too sweet. The pricing is extremely fair and there's not a long wait like many of the other food trucks. Imagine a Korean style burrito bowl! Thumbs up will come back.

    If it is a repurposed school bus, does that make it a food bus instead of a food truck? I don't…read moreknow, and at the end of the day, what's the difference if the food is good! I had the pleasure of trying the Irish griller and the nachos, because, honestly, how can I resist nachos. Now, when I'd had corned beef before, it had only been from a can... so my expectations were not set particularly high. However, there's really no comparison between canned rubbish and this! Sandwich was nicely balanced and toasted (maybe grilled?) to perfection. There was a variety of textures and flavors to be found inside. There was a bit of cheesiness, but the stars on the plate were the slaw and the beef. The slaw was fresh with just the right amount of crunch, whereas the beef was tender and in just the right amount. I would have liked a little more sauce though, as I don't recall there being a whole lot of it. On the side perhaps? Also, and this is just me... but a little more cheese never hurts. Then there were the nachos... these fell short for me. As opposed to the thought put into the sandwich, these were like something a college student would throw together. Good nachos, in my opinion, are warm; whereas these were just chips for a bag with stuff thrown on top. The sauerkraut was quite nice, it that it wasn't overly sour. However, because this dish didn't move a thermometer, the beef and chips, and even cheese went together like oil and water. On top of that, the Thousand Island sauce didn't really work for me here. It might be great on sandwiches and salads, but not nachos.

    More people need to review them and show some love! Wow wow wow. My brother and I decided to give…read morethem a shot at the Boston Night Market and saturday, initially because their line wasn't too long. We got an order of the corned beef fries. My god. Those things are DANGEROUS. They were truly unbelievable. The crispy fries paired with thousand island and corned beef made for a serious explosion of flavor. It didn't hurt that the guys working were so sweet and kind. I would absolutely stop by their bus again if I ever see them out and about.

    I remember when I first heard about this event. My initial thought was "oh look another way NYC and…read moreBoston can compete". Actually, I thought it was just another event New York City could dominate Boston at. But that's just the New Yorker in me. I kid, I kid. I've got nothing but love for Boston's food trucks. I was mostly interested in what trucks New York was going to come with as lets be honest the only food trucks I ever saw in NYC were the halal and hotdog trucks on the streets. And let's just say I was taught never to trust street meat. Good thing the website is good at listing the trucks and their websites so you can scope out the competition beforehand. Surprised to see almost all of them had websites. The first time this event was held in Dewey Square. Contained completely on the farmer's market island. My god it was a mess of lines and the wait for some of the trucks was horrendous. People had to plan strategically in their groups in order to hit as many of the trucks they wanted to try. Food truck competitions are serious business and apparently you call out a competition between NY and Boston you're going to pull a crowd to show some love for their hometown. It's understandable... even if the longest lines were from two NY trucks. The second time around the planners did a lot better location wise. They spread the trucks out along the less trafficked Greenway. Thank god they learned from last year. Also line control was handled a lot better.No funky zigzag across 4 different truck areas here. And there was also plenty of grass or curb to sit and eat. Now for the food. This competition has a habit of bringing an array of different cuisines. I had a plan to visit two trucks this time. Morrocan truck Comme Ci Comme Ca and Indian Chinese hybrid Momos & Buns. Most of the NY trucks had a limited 'Throwdown' menu. While I did pick up the kofka couscous from Comme Ci I would have really liked to try a few of their appetizers that I noticed on their website. The couscous was delicious and I think this was the first time I ever really tried Moroccan cuisine so I don't have anything to compare it to. But I'll definitely hunt down the truck when next I'm in NY. Momos I never got to. There was quite the line and I was not that patient. But while I was walking the area I stumbled upon the Cupcake Crew and tried their maple bacon cupcake. Wow, that was incredible. Although I think bacon makes most things taste better. In all it was a pleasant day with delicious food a relaxed atmosphere and I can't wait until next year's.

    Cousins Maine Lobster is a brand and fleet of lobster food trucks that began in Los Angeles,…read moreCalifornia in April 2012. It was founded by cousins Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac. Originally from Portland, Maine, the cousins later settled in Southern California. Impressed with the Los Angeles food truck industry, they decided to start selling Maine lobster in the L.A. area. Lobster was typically viewed as a pricey delicacy, only served in precious portions at fancy restaurants. The cousins saved up enough money to buy a food truck. East Coast transplants raved about the authenticity, freshness and the copious amount of meat in the lobster rolls. Their success really took off after they were featured on an episode of the TV series "Shark Tank". The brand expanded, more food trucks were bought, and the first brick & mortar location opened in West Hollywood in 2015. As of 2026, the chain has 65 food trucks and two restaurants throughout 30 states as well as Washington, D.C. I recently sampled some of Cousins Maine's delicious lobster when I saw one of their trucks at a local brewery. The "Greater Boston" truck travels all across Eastern Massachusetts to stop at breweries, wineries, and various markets and festivals. I had previously sampled food from the "Greater Connecticut" truck. The menu consists of items made from Maine lobsters, such as Maine Lobster Rolls, Connecticut Lobster Rolls, lobster quesadillas, lobster tacos, lobster grilled cheese, lobster bisque, as well as New England Clam Chowder. After looking over the menu, I decided to order some "Lobster Tacos" (Maine lobster served with cabbage, pico de gallo, cilantro lime sauce, flour tortillas). They were simply divine and paired well with the beers that I was having at the brewery. I give Cousins Maine Lobster my seal of approval and I hope to see one of their trucks again!
