Our coworker, from The Philippines was embarrassed by the food and disappointed with her order. The only good part of our order was the lumpia, so two stars is all we can give.

Delicious Lumpia! I'll be back to try other items as well. So good.

The calamari was cooked perfectly, the lumpia (while very tiny) had the perfect pork ratio. The only thing I was a little disappointed at was the amount of vinegar in the pancit. It was just a little too sour/bitter for me. Not inedible, just a sharp taste. Not the wonderfully melded flavors that make you feel like you're being hugged. It felt more like a Christian side hug. It's a food truck, so be prepared to sit in your car or find a place to sit but definitely well worth the food!

The place gets busy with customers and other Turkish families, which is a good sign. You order up at the counter when you walk in, then you pay and they give you a number to take to your table.

I was always thought all mediterranean restaurants are the same, but this one is a little different for me. Everything has yogurt in it and I'm not too crazy about sour yogurt. The restaurant is in a little shopping center, there are actually quite a few places to park. The restaurant is very nice, clean and airy. It's a self order, and they bring the food to your table. The prices are around $20 a dish. My sister ordered all the dishes, pizza, chicken, wontons, they all looked delicious but the tastes are so different for me. The wontons are not as tasty as Chinese wontons and they're not soft. The chicken is tasty but not very flavorful. The yogurt is very sour and rich. I had some slices of pizza, but nothing to rave about. Anyhow, at least I know what Turkish food is like. This one is supposed to be the best one in Tacoma and my sister family love it. Like they say, it's not my cup of tea.

It is pretty rare to find a place truly worthy of a 5 star rating but the Turkish Kabab Food Truck is without question the best I have found. Beyond just the amazing food, the customer service is above and beyond. It amazes me how well the owners remember their customers and make every effort to personalize their service to the individual. they easily get the most customer traffic than any other food truck on post yet still amazingly can remember my name every time I come back. Recently we had them cater an event for our organization and they did such and amazing Job! The food became the main draw for the event, and as always they bent over backwards to ensure the guests received the best service. I give them my absolute highest recommendation and couldn't be more happy in each experience with them. read more

During my wait, one of the workers was swatting flies on the counter by the desserts and wiping the dead fly onto the floor I got my food and as I got back into the car noticed their "okay" health inspection rating on the window lol. The mango lemonade was a shame. No flavor. It didn't taste like mango or lemon so it was just weird. I Ended up getting a lemonade from chick fil a. The tikka masala was weird too. It tasted like honey tomato sauce. It was super sweet. No robust flavors or aromatics, no traditional Indian spices etc. The chicken was definitely cooked separately from the sauce bc the chicken had a roasted flavor to it. It was super tender which was nice but I was baffled by the lack of flavor. I have made more robust chicken tikka masala from a seasoning packet from Safeway. The naan was great. Tasty and a perfect balance of salt and chewy texture. I ate my naan but threw the rest of my food away. Safe to say I won't be back.
