    California Crunch Roll
    Lauren G.

    Fast and friendly service! Very yummy and flavorful sushi! California roll was amazing!

    That's not going to waste
    Steven T.

    I don't do sushi very often and it's not because I don't like sushi I just don't care for sticky white rice or any white rice because it does absolutely nothing for me but since it is what sushi is I have to suck it up once in a while. I do have to do sushi once in a while because I like the freshness and the layers of flavor combinations and since I do it so little I know nothing about sushi and I just order what sounds good. I ordered the hot flamin sushi burrito which is spicy salmon, spicy crab, eel, avocado, cucumber and spicy hot ramen for crunch. My burrito came with chop sticks, cute dipping tray, 4 soy sauce and 3 napkins in the bag and I was surprised to get chop sticks because a burrito is a hand held food that requires no utensils at all. The soy sauce is a god send because it makes the white rice edible for me. My hot flamin burrito came with ginger slices and a ball of wasabi which was on point because it had the nice clay like texture and proper nasal awakening action and complemented my burritos nicely. I was surprised to find a piece of blackened white fish in the end of my burrito because it's not listed as being in the hot flamin burrito. My burrito was very good and tasty which hit the spot even though it has all that white rice in it.

    Tonkotsu Ramen!

    I've only visited twice, but both visits have been very good! On my first visit, I ordered the Eel & Avocado roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll. Both were delicious and tased fresh! The sushi rice was on point! On my second visit, I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. Tonkotsu style is my go-to for ramen, and I've had it at just about every place in town that offers it. I love the slighly salty, yet savory flavor of the pork-based broth, as well as the mouth feel of the broth's milky texture. Modern Maki impressed me with their Tonkotsu Ramen! Their Tonkotsu broth is definitely top 3 or 4 that I've had in town! The pork belly was practically fall-apart tender and delicious, and the bamboo shoots, fish cake, and other toppings were also on point. I skipped the corn because I don't think corn belongs in ramen, but that's just a personal preference thing. You want to pick up corn kernels with chop sticks? Have at it. What I really appreciated and found unique was that they serve the broth in a large bowl and the noodles and toppings in a separate smaller bowl that hovers near the top of the broth bowl, hanging by the rim of the bowl, so they don't make contact and don't get soggy. It is an absolutely brilliant design and perfect execution! The broth stayed hot, the lid was tight, and I loved every delicious bite. It's too bad the Health Dept. requires the boiled eggs to be fully cooked from a food truck, so they can't serve the proper soft soy egg, but this egg certainly did not disappoint. I look forward to trying sashimi and negiri, as well as a sushi burrito, so I can get a full idea of what Modern Maki can do, but so far, I'm a fan!

    I visited Modern Maki over the weekend to take advantage of the sunny weather. I ordered the Crunchy Munchy Roll and the Vegetarian Ramen. I did not use the app to order, so there was something of a wait. That is my only critique really. The truck didn't appear to be terribly busy, but who knows how many delivery orders they were working on. The roll was crunchy, as promised, with a well balanced mix of flavors. Two chopsticks up for this. My ramen was packaged smartly, with the noodles and ingredients separated from the broth so the broth stayed hot and the ingredients wouldn't get soggy. The broth flavor was complex and well developed. It was not as deep as a mushroom base would be, but it was good and flavorful. There were plenty of noodles included to satisfy. I enjoyed this a lot and would certainly go back,

    I went up to the truck with a friend and we ordered two rolls of sushi. She said can I get a (whatever she got) roll and I said and can I get a cucumber roll. Originally I wanted to order the tamago sushi but they were out of stock so that was a major bummer for me. We paid together since it was only two rolls. We were having a quick snack before a nearby exercise class so we didn't want to overeat. I suppose since we paid together that's why the sushi came together in one box which is fine. I thought it was strange that the food truck person only gave the two of us one pair of chopsticks and one soy sauce dish to eat our sushi with. We ended up passing the chopsticks back and forth a couple times until I went back to the truck to ask for another pair. We went at a time that did not seem busy and it took somewhere between 5-10 minutes for the two rolls of sushi to be made. Overall I think the cucumber roll that I ate tasted good although it's hard to mess that up. A positive sign is that I believe the knives they use are clean. I am a lacto vegetarian and do not eat fish eggs, sometimes I notice fish eggs on my sushi from dirty knives or stations at most restaurants. I did not have any stray fish eggs on my cucumber roll signifying clean working conditions in the truck. Seeing my cucumber rolls look nice and clean made me happy. I would definitely come back here when I am in the area with my friend. Hopefully the chopstick thing was a one time mistake because I don't want to be known as the girl who keeps coming back to ask for more chopsticks. The food truck area only had two picnic tables that I noticed but I'm sure there would be more if I kept searching. There are bathroom facilities which I did not use. After getting onto the sidewalk I do not recall ever seeing any steps so I believe the area is wheelchair accessible, the only issue would be the height of the counter at all of the trucks so an employee may need to come out of the truck to accept payment and hand over food.

    Decided to treat myself to some Ramen today. Unfortunately this was the most flavorless underwhelming ramen I've ever tasted. Fool me once. Thank God i happened to order a maki roll as well. The tempura roll was good. I wouldn't bother ordering their ramen ever again.

The weather was beautiful! Our waitress was very friendly and we were here for just one drink. We ended up staying for 2 drinks and an appetizer because we were really enjoying our time together. I had an Old-Fashioned, which I loved, and we ordered the Roasted Garlic Crostini to share. The appetizer was so good! We both loved the flavors and the creamy garlic spread. I'm looking forward to my next visit at Heirloom MKE!

She condescendingly informed me that they are a small business and implied that she did not have any empathy or understanding for our situation, as she said what did I expect when taking a baby out in public. Given that we chose this restaurant because we thought it would be baby friendly, we found her attitude very off-putting. When I stated based on how she was handling the situation, I did not feel comfortable or interested in eating there, she told me that I then should not eat there & when I said I would go speak to my husband regarding the matter, she said, "okay bye, leave!". Everyone has difficult days and while I try to be understanding of that, I don't think it was in any way an appropriate way to handle the situation & we will not be returning. If you have children, I would not recommend.

This burger had cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon jam, and burger sauce. It also came with chive fries...mmmmmm chive fries. They were pretty busy, which I generally take as a good sign, but I had to wait about 10 minutes for my burger. Not bad of a wait really. They called my name and presented me with my burger and fries. It looked great! I hurried by to my office, eating the delicious fries along the way. They were crispy, hot, salty, with just enough chives that you knew they were there but they didn't overpower. I dug into the burger as soon as I sat down. It was fantastic! The burger was cooked to a perfectly pink medium. The bacon jam was amazingly flavorful! I have no idea what burger sauce is but it was great. The lettuce and tomatoes were nice and fresh too. The sesame bun was nicely toasted and the cheddar cheese was nice and melty. I liked that the bun held up well and didn't fall apart while I was eating it. I was in burger heaven! I sure hope this food truck will come by regularly. The rest of their sandwiches sounded great too and I can't wait to try them!

But now that I've had Double Dub's in my life all other wings are nothing compared to them. The wings are perfectly cooked and dripping with sauce. Big juicy wings that there are plenty of meat on so you don't feel like you're not getting what you paid for. Service is always super fast, and I appreciate that they give you pagers so you don't have to keep track of when your food is supposed to be done or be standing around waiting but the truck. I like that they stuck with the theme throughout the naming of their sauces, the different meals that are offered, and the decor of their truck. The staff has always been super nice and helpful for answering questions. Also this is the only establishment I've found where I will order the fries every single time over the tater tots. I've had their tater tots and they're perfectly good tater tots, but Double Dub's does something to their fries that makes me want to get a job there just to know how they're made and seasoned. I dream of both their wings and fries, and I may have a new final last meal now that I've discovered the wonder that is Double Dub's.

For sauces we picked the: buffalo, cinna-bee, spicy bleu and the chili lime dry rub. The spicy bleu was BY FAR my favorite followed closely by the chili lime and buffalo. The wings were cooked perfectly with a good wing to sauce ratio. The fries were also excellent- think crack fries! The food truck staff were all very friendly. They rotate locations so be sure to check their website for their location- we visited at Ope which was great. Keep doing what you're doing Double Dub's we will be back for more

The truck is west of Oscars Winners Circle on Burnham St and I have seen it there a few times so it's probably a daily spot. Since I wanted something small what should I get, a taco/frijoles charros, 2 tacos and I settle on a taco and tostada feeling that this was just the right size. WRONG because the bag felt heftyer but not quite burrito heft. When I opened my container I noticed that the two items were generously topped and looked amazing with grilled pepper/onions/limes as a garnish. The Al Pastor taco was tasty on two corn tortillas with plenty of meat, red onions and cilantro. The star was the steak tostada piled high on a super crispy corn tostada with plenty of steak, beans, sour cream, two nice fresh avocado slices and cheese. The tostada was very good and bigger than I expected but than again it's not ordered very much by me so it's possible this was the norm, I couldn't finish the whole plate before I was full. Overall I really liked how they didn't skimp out on anything and for a food truck they make a great presentation with the food.
