King Souvlaki has been parked on this corner for as long as I can remember, and it's still one of the most reliable grabs in the neighborhood. I almost always go for the chicken souvlaki on a hero -- mine being loaded with lettuce, onions, fries, tzatziki, lemon juice, oregano, and a drizzle of BBQ sauce. The price has definitely climbed over the years (it's $16 now), but honestly, the sandwich is still huge, flavorful, and filling enough to justify it.
My parents have been getting food from this truck for years.i have had food from here when i go to visit and my parents order. From every time we ordered from here, the food has been so friggin good! My parents enjoy the food so much that they trek all the way from Whitestone to their truck on Bell Blvd. I have tried their lamb gyro, fries, chicken kebabs, and salad. I never had any complaints. The most recent time I had their food, I had the Greek salad since I have moved toward a more vegetarian diet. OMG it was such a massive salad! I could barely finish it but it was so full of ingredients and flavorful. I have not experienced the customer service first hand but from what my parents tell me, they are very nice and efficient. My father said he rarely waits long for the food too. Their truck is usually on the corner of CVS. I believe they also have a location in Astoria.
Been wanting to try this truck for the longest time and finally had the chance! They're cash only but luckily there are a bunch of major chain banks in the area. The food was ok.. I was not too impressed with it. I got their platter with rice. The rice was very undercooked and borderline crunchy. The chicken in pita was bland with barely any flavor or lemon flavor coming through. The saving grace would have to be their stand alone pork souvlaki - I ordered just that one stick because I wanted to try their pork. It was grilled perfectly and meat was tender.
I've been passing this food truck, located on the south side of Northern Boulevard and 213th Street, in Bayside, Queens, for years now. They seem to be there 24/7 365 days a year. Anyway, I finally stopped for a bite the other day. Glad I did. Had the Chicken Souvlaki platter ($15.00). Freshly made and quite tasty and filling. I will definitely stop by again in the future.
Great food truck. Fast service. Food is great. Affordable. But cash only. Souvlaki on a stick comes with Italian bread. Platter you can choose between rice or fries.
I'm very disappointed I have to write this review. Normally I have had great orders from here but my most recent order blows my mind. I had a GrubHub coupon, and I decided to utilize it before it expired. I ordered my usual, a pork gyro sandwich and a lamb gyro sandwich but guess what? There was NO pork and no lamb in the respective sandwiches. All I have are the sandwiches without the meats. I've never had this experience before. But this is very disappointing to say the least. How do you follow through with the order without adding the most important part?
The weather was in the high 50s today. After my morning errands, I decided to try King Souvlaki for the first time. The food truck was parked on the same block as CVS Pharmacy. Phew, two people were before me as a long line formed behind me. I quickly glanced at the menu on the food truck. I ordered the Lamb & Beef Gyro Platter over Handcut Fries. The guy asked if I wanted to add lemon juice, salt, and oregano toppings. I told him to add a little bit. I heard that their Pork and Chicken Souvlaki are popular items. I will be back next time. Food: Lamb & Beef Gyro Platter w/ a Side Salad, Pita Bread, and Homemade Tzatziki Sauce - The lamb & beef gyro was flavorful. One word: Scrumptious Handcut Fries - yummy Note: Cash only!
I always seem to miss the King Souvlaki Food Truck when I'm in Forest Hills, so I was glad to catch it at the Bayside location! The food truck was parked on the same block as CVS Pharmacy. I ordered take-out online so I was able to park in the lot to pick it up. Note that it is cash only if you order at the truck. I got the Lamb & Beef souvlaki platter ($19.20) with lemon and hot sauce, half yellow rice and half fries, pita bread, a side salad, and homemade tzatziki sauce. The fries were standard, but a little soggy because they were under all that yummy tender seasoned meat. Overall, a little expensive, but very satisfying.
We had an amazing time at King Souvlaki a family-owned gem located at 84-02 3rd Ave, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. If you're craving authentic Greek food, this is the spot! We went all out and got the Large King's Plate--and wow, what a feast! This thing is perfect for a family gathering, a friend hangout, or just you and your wild ambition to "finish it all" (good luck). Here's what you get on this glorious platter: All three of their hand-stacked gyros 6 Souvlaki Sticks - 2 Pork, 2 Chicken, and 2 Kotobacon (yes, that's bacon-wrapped chicken ) 2 Bifteki (Greek-style burgers) and 2 Greek sausages A mountain of hand-cut fries fried in Greek olive oil Toasted pita bread to scoop up all that goodness And all 4 of their homemade dips: Tzatziki, Spicy Feta, King Sauce, and Hummus If you're not drooling yet, you might want to check your pulse. Everything was insanely delicious, and we had a blast trying a little bit of everything. If you're looking to feed a crowd--or just yourself and a dream--this platter is a must-try.
I love the fact that this food truck is a staple in Bayside. I stopped by on my way home from work and picked up a platter so I didn't need to cook after a long week. The chicken was well seasoned and moist and the salad was fresh and full of veggies. The staff was organized and quick. I love that they have chairs and tables right on the sidewalk for people that want to stay and have their food fresh. Always a great experience
Had higher expectation due to all the reviews and the long line I see Everytime I pass this food truck. Finally I bought the chicken souvlaki platter today and was disappointed by the food. The chicken was dry, and I've definitely had better pita and sauce. Maybe because I came at 6 and everything was sitting ready made for a while but the food was just hard and dry.

TLDR: If you're looking for a quick meal, King Souvlaki has always scratched the itch. Souvlaki sticks are good for a quick bite but usually we get a beef/lamb gyro platter or a pita sandwich - Greek fries if you have a friend to share. I've been going to King Souvlaki for many years. Nowadays you can also order on UberEats/DoorDash but for the best, just go in-person of course. The Greek Fries are great with olive oil and feta but it is a large portion. I believe you can now upgrade the platter fries so you can get to taste the flavor without it being over the top. Our go to order is the platter but you can never go wrong with a sandwich either. The rice is seasoned well and with the tzatziki sauce and small salad - it's always a good plate. They do also have chicken options but beef/lamb is the way to go in my opinion. The gyro is has great flavor but it's also not overly greasy like some places. read more
I ordered the pork souvlaki platter, and the portion size was pretty generous. The yellow rice was flavorful and well seasoned, and it came with a decent side salad that balanced out the meal. The pork was the highlight for me: tender, juicy, and cooked really well. My only complaint was the tzatziki sauce. It was much thicker than expected and had a stronger tartness, rather than the creamy, smooth texture I was hoping for. That was a little disappointing, but overall, it was still a solid meal. read more

I, literally, have my tests done at this Lenox Hill in order to get food from this truck. The food is always fresh and delicious and the staff is friendly and furiously fast! Now that is warmer they offer two small chairs so you can sit and eat. They're might be a table of your lucky. The tomatoes can ALWAYS be better... they're usually on the soft side. read more

Call ahead since they get busy! Definitely get the chicken souvlaki platter and pork souvlaki. Make sure to have cash also! read more
Yum!! I had my fair share of Greek food around this area and I've finally tried this food truck. They are CASH ONLY so bring your cash! They have a built in ATM as well. My husband got the lamb/beef gyro hero and it was HUGE. The gyro was really delicious. I got the pork souvlaki platter ($14) with french fries. The fries were a bit soggy but the pork souvlaki was tender and seasoned well. We enjoyed it a lot and at a decent price. read more

Food was really great can't go wrong with pitas and platters for lunch. Orders are prepared quickly less than 3 minutes quality is excellent, included latest menu too. read more
Located right outside of the pharmacy and walk in clinic, this food truck has a flashing light that helps it stand out against traffic. Cash only! But don't worry, there's an ATM built in to the truck. Super friendly service, but what else do you expect from Queens guys. Menus are posted with pricing on the truck. Pricing was on the higher side of average, but in line with the amount of food - good value for a platter. I enjoyed the variety the platter offered - warm pita, tzatziki, well dressed salad with cucumber tomato onion and an olive. I had rice and fries (half and half) as a side to my lamb/beef gyro, added bbq and hot sauce. I love my platters saucy and this fell short of saucy - idk where the bbq evaporated to and the hot sauce wasn't hot. The rice was ok, the meat was seasoned ok, my preference is a bit heavier on the seasoning. Satisfying meal overall, I was able to split a platter with my sister. Certainly excited to come, would try again but maybe something else like a hero with chicken. read more

King Souvlaki is a food truck fixture in Bayside, on the intersection of Bell Blvd and Northern Blvd. Although the gyros and souvlaki are good, its the french fries cooked in virgin olive oil that makes me a regular. These are hands down some of the best fries around. If you haven't tried it yet, you owe it to yourself to get some. P.S. They are CASH ONLY, but they installed an ATM on the side of their truck for your convenience :) read more

I'd been meaning to try this food cart for the longest time. Finally got the chance. Did not disappoint. We can't believed that for the crave , we spent $50 total for our take outs. Was it worth it? Yes. Tasteful, comforting . We got all the best they offer... souvlaki in stick, souvlaki in fries, souvlaki in rice. ( lol) . The Greek ties are to die for. Next visit then as promised by my husband, their gyros. Come bay when in the area. Cash only. They have their own cash dispenser. read more
This place is popular for a reason. Tasty food, friendly service, and decent prices. I got the chicken gyro and my friend got the lamb. Both were delicious. The fries are skin-on so they have that extra yummy flavor. The salad was fresh and nicely dressed. I would definitely go back. read more
Got there on a Saturday night 9:30 pm. There was a line of 2-3 people. Waited about 10 min for food after ordered. We ordered: On a stick: Souvlaki $3 - little dry and chewy. The pork in the platter is tasty compared to this Chicken $3 : good flavor. Tender. Horiatiko( Greek sausage) $4 Too salty for me. Pork gyro platter $12. Comes w side salad. Pita bread, homemade yogurt sauce, rice or Fries ( no half and half). Generous portion. I will skip the fries next time. Not impressed. Pork was tender and tasty. Platter was satisfying. Good choice for later nights esp restaurants close early during pandemic. It is next to a parking lot where CVS is located. Will order the platter with rice and chicken on a stick again. read more

Once upon a time, around 12 years ago, there used to be a food cart on the corner of bell and Northern in front of CVS. This little cart sold souvlaki sticks for like 2 bucks a stick. How do I remember this? I tried it like once in my twenty something plus years (not giving away my age ;) living here. This little cart was the sole owner of this corner. Life was good. Then, the Halal carts of Flushing Main Street started to expand their territory. Note, this was when Halal was getting hot just as I am getting right now what. Halal carts started popping up in front of taco bell on Northern. Then it popped up in Bell and Northern, right next to the Greek Cart. In a purely Capitalistic World, competition is good. For the little cart owner who had no competition before, competition is bad. Before I knew it, this little Greek Cart disappeared and only the Halal Cart remained. Fast forward a few years, "The King Returns" (pun intended). Now, I don't know if that little Greek Cart was the start of King Souvlaki, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. The little Greek Cart that only used to sell souvlaki, now sells Huge Platters with salad, Tzatziki (pronounced Zza-zee-kee), and huge amounts of meat. This place is always packed. They came back, they saw, they conquered. Kings Moral of the story, when life presents trouble, you might fall, hide, and run temporarily. But during this time you get stronger, you prepare, you evolve, and you come back to claim the throne. No bias here, but that Halal Cart doesn't stand a chance to "King" Souvlaki and the lines show for it. Plus that Halal Cart gave me the worst food poisoning of my life. tl;dr King is back Portions are Huge Not my favorite Tzatziki- too thick Cash Only I need a life read more

Just waited over 45 minutes for a call in order while over 20 people got service while I was waiting. Don't understand what the point of a call and order is if you have to wait longer than walkins. Sad read more

I used to order from this cart when i worked nearby many, many years ago. I'm glad to see he's still around and has even expanded! This is the best place for kebabs. They're flavorful, not overly seasoned, and the chicken kebabs are amazing with the lemon, salt and hot sauce. I've been ordering from here recently via Uber Eats. So happy he's finally on a delivery platform! The fries are crispy and the King Sauce tastes like mayo and mustard maybe? But it's really good. Reminds me of a place in the city with the Belgian fries and dipping sauces. His tzatziki sauce is perfect! The salad is always fresh. Pita bread is soft. The gyro meat is flavorful as well! Not too fatty like other places nearby. Consistent flavors and meal size. read more
