Gogi On The Block - Garlic tofu rice bowl (front) & dweji bulgogi (sweet spicy KBBQ pork) rice bowl (back) - Food Trucks Near Me

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

Gogi On The Block - Beef bulgogi salad and rice - Food Trucks Near Me

See all

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

Gogi On The Block - Salad bowl - Food Trucks Near 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! read more

Gogi On The Block - a green food truck - Food Trucks Near Me

See all

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

Gogi On The Block - dewji bulgogi burrito! - Food Trucks Near Me

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. read more

Gogi On The Block - Food Trucks Near Me

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

Gogi On The Block - Rice bowl with bulgogi - Food Trucks Near Me

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

Tried the beef rice bowl and it was excellent! I would definitely recommend this to someone if they crossed paths with the food truck. I wanted to try something different and was absolutely satisfied! 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

Gogi On The Block - Rice bowl - Food Trucks Near Me

Had a fantastic rice bowel from the food truck! Asked for spicy pork and they nailed it. One of the best things I've ever eaten from a food truck. Highly recommended- I will be back. Of note, they are posted across the street from Lahey Hospital in Burlington on Monday's for lunch! 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

Gogi On The Block - Bulgogi bowl with Kimchi fried rice - Food Trucks Near Me

This is a great food truck. I get it almost every Tuesday when they are at Stewart Street. The bowl is amazing. You have to get the beef with the kimchi rice. I'm someone who like hot and not just sweet so I do bring it back to my desk at work and put some Tabasco sauce which makes it amazing! If you are a hot and sweet person too the spicy chicken is great also! I just love the beef too much to get the chicken. read more

went to sowa food truck bazaar today with a couple friends, one of whom said this was his absolute favorite food truck. he'd previously gotten me a bulgogi burrito which was pretty delish. this time i wanted to try a fresh kimchi fried rice bowl with sweet & spicy pork. it was AMAZING. it cost $11. i couldn't finish the entire thing and took my bowl home, even though there was only a bit of lettuce and rice left in it aha. i couldn't bring myself to waste any of it :') only thing is i wish they included a bit more meat to go with everything else in the bowl, but oh well. because of how much my friends bought (i think altogether we bought 6 bowls!) they even gave us complimentary drinks. definitely coming back! read more

One of the best food trucks in Boston, and finally back on the Greenway! I love the rice bowl with pork, but everything is great, and the staff is lovely. read more

Ran into this place on the way out of the aquarium and what a great find! I got the rice bowl with marinated pork. It's like a rice bowl/salad mix. It was so flavorful with the marinated pork and fresh because the salad veggies. The dressing/sauce brings it all together. So delicious! The truck was clean and the staff was friendly and food came out quick. Next time in Boston I hope to find it again and try other options on the menu because I'm sure they are all amazing! 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

Pretty tasty! I like their kim chi rice bowl (extra $2 for kim chi) with bulgolgi. Kinda on the pricey side. $11 total for a bowl. But the bowl kept me full and happy. Will definitely be returning and I definitely recommend trying out this food truck! read more

a reason why i wouldn't mind being stuck in Boston (SoWa) on a Sunday, specifically Korean grilled pork and chicken salad. read more

Just finished my rice bowl, and already thinking about the next time I can go to their food truck! They were out of burritos, but I'm happy I opted for the rice bowl. Generous servings, great flavor, really friendly staff. They do have a $10 card minimum though, so bring cash if you're just looking to get a bowl/burrito. read more

I used to really love this food truck until this April when I had the most horrific food poisoning experience. I remember I ordered chicken rice bowl for lunch at the food truck near South Station. I guess the chicken was not prepared as clean as we would assume it to be. My doctor confirmed that it was food poisoning and that was the end of my love for this lunch option. read more

Tried this truck for the first time at SOWA today. I had the bulgogi beef rice bowl and it did not disappoint! The service was friendly, food pretty healthy. The flavors melded together so nicely and the beef was tender and sweet to compliment the sauces. My husband also enjoyed his grilled chicken rice bowl. I'll be tracking down the truck and taking the extra walk to the greenway this week! If you are ever able to get a slot at MGH in the West End please take it as I'm sure you would be a big hit there too. read more

I tried this food truck at SOWA and fell in love. I am Korean and have yet to find a Korean place I love that compares to NY. This food truck had all the great flavors of Korean food but put into a modern/American spin. I love their bowls here and can't wait to try it again. read more

Gogi On The Block...it would be a problem for me if you were around me everyday! Because you'd be seeing a lot of me, and I'd be seeing my waist size expand, and I mean that with the upmost happiness! Your rice bowl with kimchi rice and bulgogi beef was absolutely delicious! Your employees are very friendly as well! And whoever made that kimchi today gave my mom a run for her money (sorry mom!)!! read more

So happy to stumble on this fantastic food truck. The pork rice bowl was absolutely delicious.

I have been to Korea maybe 7 or 8 times and love Korean food, however in Boston it's hard to find quality. This is the best Korean food I have had in my life, hands down! It comes from a very sweet family and whenever I am working from a Boston office I always bring it for my team and my customers - it never disappoints. I highly recommend it and now have crack-like withdrawals when I don't eat it for 2-3 days. Hope they open a restaurant soon!!!! read more
