This review is for the food truck that I routinely see by the Reservoir and the old stone church in West Boylston, Massachusetts.
The short review is: phenomenal.
They've been there for a couple years. I've had things that my son would sometimes pick up on his way home from school and share with us. Even eating my boy's leftovers was piquing interest.
Yesterday, I asked my daughter if she would like an afternoon treat. I thought it would be nice to sit by the reservoir and have a snack.
So, we split a tonkatsu burger and some medallion fries.
Even though I knew to expect something great, it was a sneak attack of awesome that had me giggling inside because it was so freaking good. My daughter and I sat in silence and ate. Just blown away until we looked at each other and she said, "Wow."
Not sure if it's fair to comment on the ambience because that area is very nice and relaxing. But the service is cordial and charming and quick. My food was hot and, as far as I'm concerned, perfectly executed. The tonkatsu was tender and delicious. Not tough, not dry and properly golden brown. The sauce had great balance to it, giving the entire sandwich depth. The medallion fries were properly cooked through, golden with a slight crisp on the outside, and properly salted. People seem to be afraid to properly salt their potatoes these days.
It's a little more expensive than the more pedestrian hotdog truck right next to it. It is worth every single penny.
If you're passing through, you just might find a new favorite place here. If you have to make a slight diversion to try them, you will not regret it.
They are going to be taking a lot of my money.
Nice work, people. read more
