My partner and I got the garlic tofu rice bowl and dweji bulgogi (sweet spicy KBBQ pork) rice bowl - TASTE: 5/5 - better than expected! The special red pepper chili paste gochujang sauce and sesame sauce were both super tasty, and the proteins were seasoned well TEXTURE: 5/5 - perfect combo of rice and red quinoa plus toppings, including fresh, crisp veggies, melty cheese, and the sauces PRICE: 4/5 - around $14-15 for a bowl SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - satisfied us for lunch SERVICE: 5/5 - not much of a line when we walked up at 12:30pm on a Sunday at SoWa. The owner was super nice and helpful, and food was ready in 5min PARKING: 4/5 - walked over from a street spot on Washington St x E Brookline St read more

This was a surprisingly tasty Mexican, Korean fusion. I was a bit skeptical of it, but was bored of the other food trucks outside my office. I was very pleased with the bowl, and was impressed how well all the flavors welded together. read more

Very friendly and fast. I was really surprised by the flavor of what is a super basic looking salad. I got the chicken and it was cooked perfectly, the salad dressing/sauces were delicious. Everything was fresh and the flavors all complemented each other. It was a nice portion and price is comparable to other trucks and lunch options in the area. read more

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. read more

For a quick Tuesday work lunch, I stopped by South Station to find Gogi on the Block parked at the outside plaza, alongside a couple other food trucks. Curious about their rendition of Korean-Mexican Fusion, I ordered bulgogi burrito ($11), which I received in 5 minutes despite multiple others waiting for their orders as well. After another 5 minutes, I arrived back into the office and starting eating. The burrito itself contained chopped lettuce, spring mix, bean sprouts, shredded Monterey jack and cheddar cheese, pickled radish and tomato salsa, topped with red pepper chili paste gochujang sauce and sesame sauce. While the list of ingredients seemed impressive, the variety proved indistinguishable because of the sesame sauce. The sesame sauce tasted like the sort one would find served in the side salad at a Japanese restaurant - delicious but quite strong in flavor. The only other flavor that could stand out was the marinade of the bulgogi beef. Otherwise, the burrito's tortilla seemed hard, almost with the consistency of a wrap. I felt like I was eating a sesame salad wrap with far too much dressing. read more

The food is amazing. It's just so delicious. No extra word needed! Plus, it gives me a sense of my original home (S. Korea). It's hands down the best Korean fusion in town. Just try it if the truck is around. Rice bowl with bulgogi is my favorite by far, but I love others too. You gotta also try yuja smoothie. It's just so good! Of course, you can expect great service from them too. Highly recommended! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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* read more

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. read more

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. read more

Stumbled upon this place on the greenway on a walk back from a meeting. Got an awesome salad that was pleasantly packed with flavorful bulgogi at a $9 price tag. The salad veggies were fresh and I loved the addition of pickled daikon on top to add a tangy crunch. I opted for the sesame soy dressing on the side and only used half in the salad which was more enough to coat the leaves and beef. My friend got the spicy chicken salad and thoroughly enjoyed her meal too. Both of us ate it in less than 10 min lol The food also took less than 5 min to come out. Great for ppl in a rush! read more

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. read more

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. read more

My Korean-speaking friend informs me that "Gogi" means fire and that a literal translation of bulgogi would be fire meat. This truck conjures up delicious bulgogi based bowls, in the way that most West coast / SF-Bay Area Korean food trucks do. Hats off to Gogi on the Block for a delicious original bulgogi salad bowl. A minor quibble is that most of the salad is iceberg lettuce based, which doesn't add much flavor to the salad. However, everything else - from the pickled radish, sauce, fresh bulgogi, sprouts, and sesame sauce was fantastic. Thanks! read more

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.

Only ever get to eat the vegetarian baozi because the other ones are always sold out :'( They have soy milk but it's not sweeten to make sure you grab a bunch of sugar packets! Everything taste fresh and authentic. Take them very quickly to give you the food. Get so much for under $10 ! Cash only.

I really wish Meng's had a website. So here are the products and prices:…read moreBaozi (stuffed buns): Pork with either (1) leek, (2) napa, or (3) leeks: $1.25 each Roujiamuo (Chinese-style burgers): With pork or beef: $2.50 each Tea Leaf Eggs: $0.75 each Tianjin dumplings: 10 for $7.50 Savory Tofu: $2 They have some Chinese style pancakes that you can only get if you order $30 worth of food for delivery.

A lot of people seemed to be getting the tacos or a torta. I got the steak quesadilla and it was fresh, only thing was it was a little cold and portion was a little small. I liked the pico inside it added good flavors, and the steak was good but it tasted more like a ground beef. My boyfriend got the plate with carnitas, he really enjoyed it. I wish I tried a torta as it looked really good, but next time! They also have locations in other cities--there's one in Medford too. They also do takeout and had a lot of people in and out picking up orders.

Whilst walking to the bus stop, I saw this business. Then I saw that they had almond milk. This gal was sold. I asked San if they were cash only as I only had plastic. San said, "no, we take cards and Australian currency if you have it!" That gave me a laugh. I'm not supposed to have coffee everyday but I can't help it. Especially if it's this good. I love that this coffee shop is run on a tricycle. I love that San and his colleague were super awesome. My coffee was delicious in every way, and they have almond milk. I shall be back quite soon.

Food Truck Throwdown

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 - Boston

Cousins Maine Lobster is a chain of food trucks with multiple sit down restaurants across the US,…read moreand this particular truck travels around East and Central Massachusetts. We spotted it at a local stop and decided to grab a quick seafood meal without committing to a full sit down restaurant. The menu is centered around lobster in just about every form imaginable, from rolls and bisque to tacos and grilled cheese, making it a convenient option when the truck happens to be nearby. We ordered the lobster roll and clam chowder. The lobster roll was good overall, though it came out a little smaller than expected given the price. The lobster itself leaned more toward claw meat rather than the larger tail pieces some people associate with a traditional New England lobster roll. The flavor was still solid, with fresh tasting lobster throughout, but the roll came with less butter than we anticipated, resulting in a lighter and less rich presentation than we were hoping for. The clam chowder ended up being the stronger of the two items. It was creamy without being overly heavy, with a good balance of clams and potatoes, and worked especially well alongside the lobster roll. Together they made for a satisfying meal that delivered the classic seafood combination most people are looking for from a lobster focused stop. The experience here is ultimately about convenience and consistency. When the truck is nearby, it offers an easy way to grab a lobster roll and chowder without making a trip to the coast. The prices reflect the reality of lobster, but for a quick seafood fix on the go, it gets the job done.

8/10 Maine lobster roll was good. Good flavor, toasted bun. Decent amount of meat…read more 7/10 The lobster quesadillas, good in flavor! Not too soggy, proper cheese to lobster ratio. Properly selected cheese complimented the flavor of the lobster. 2/10 Shrimp tacos were a joke, the shrimp was minuscule and tasted like they had been fried then sitting for days. I thought I was being pranked. I couldn't believe it. I wanted my money back for them. But didn't even bother. If they fix the shrimp the potential is there, not sure it's shrimp? Never seen or had shrimp like this before.

Food trucks are finally back in Kendall Square (thank goodness bc the lunch options are slim!)…read more I've eaten at this food truck before and at the Davis location, but it's been a while. Tacos are $4 a pop which is steep, getting a burrito/torta/plate is more bang for your buck. Ordered the carnitas burrito, no beans (they only had black beans). The burrito was a good size for lunch, but if you're a big eater, you'll probably need a side (not as big as a chipotle burrito but much tastier). Decent portion of meat, tasty, only slightly spicy, great amount of cheese. Overall, good lunch and better than the other options in Kendall!

Nice decor at the bar. You can order from the same food menu. I ordered the nana's egg sandwich in a pita - it was essentially an omelette sandwich with boursin, olive tapenade, cucumber, tomato and schug which is a green hot sauce which I got on the side. It was quite interesting- not what I had expected and next time I would ask to omit the olive tapenade. I asked for ketchup to add in. It was a really good portion- probably 2 or 3 eggs. Very hearty and filling. The friend ordered the eggplant quinoa bowl which comes in this sauce and very cheesy. Comes with bread - really tasty! Bartender was friendly and service was great!

Tora Japanese Restaurant

Extremely fresh fish with generous portions in a casual, underground space…read more I think this is a reasonably priced establishment for the level of fish (phenomenal) and service (reasonable and attentive, but not like a fancier sit down restaurant) that you get. I am always surprised at how full I am when I leave! I'm stuffed every time. There is complementary miso soup with all of the bowls I've tried, outlined below. I really loved all of the bowls I've tried but my favorites are probably the Sake Aisuru Don and Kuromon Don. I just prefer more salmon to more tuna though, and they're all very good! Food: - Sake Aisuru Don: their classic all-salmon bowl! I loved the larger cuts of salmon, and I was pleasantly surprised that even the more pulverized salmon was flavorful! - Kuromon Don: loved the yellowtail in this! Each fish comes with two pieces (except the mackerel for which there are four), and I liked the sampler style for the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and izumidai. - Maguro Toro Don: so much tuna! And all such high quality. The otoro was so fatty that it practically melted in my mouth without chewing. - Sake Maguro Hamachi Don: a mix of salmon, blue fin tuna, and yellowtail. I liked the yellowtail in this a lot and found that it stood out the most from the other two fish in this particular bowl!

Came to Boston for a work trip and really wanted to eat something light and healthier. I loved it…read moreso much I came back twice! I came during lunchtime on a Monday. It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!
