    Chicken bowl
    Sophia P.

    Tastes like a healthier Halal Guys. I had the chance to try this food truck when it happened to be at my apartment complex. Their menu basically has 4 items: A shawarma (wrap), doner (taco like), bowl, or salad. You get your choice of chicken or falafel. I ordered the chicken bowl with a side of rice (can also get fries). The portion was pretty large! The chicken was shredded, and the rice was yellow and fluffy. The rice could have been a smidge less moist for my taste. You get a white yogurt/ranch/tzatziki type sauce, and a red sauce. The red is not like your typical halal hot sauce, it was on the sweeter side. Overall, pretty decent meal for $10!

    I don't know if it's because I haven't had this kind of food in a while but this had to be one of the best sandwiches I've had. I ordered the chicken doner. You can see them cooking the chicken on their little rotisserie and cutting from it. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy. The bread was toasted well. The chicken, veggies, and sauces were perfectly balanced. They definitely did not skimp on the meat. I wasn't planning on eating the whole thing due to its large portion but I could not help myself. I will definitely order from them again whenever they come back around!

    The yummiest shawarma ever! It was so fresh tasty and the crunch from all the yummy veggies was divine! I came back two days in a row for the chicken shawarma. The falafel and fries are amazing too. Also, the Shawarma Chef was so kind and enthusiastic when making the food! I firmly believe food tastes better when happy people make it and serve with love. Highly, highly recommend!!!!

    We received prompt service when we ordered the chicken shawarma and falafel. The vendor had great customer service and even had a preorder option. The chicken was well flavored, accompanied with fresh crunchy cabbage, carrots, lettuce, tomato and cucumber. The yogurt sauce tied everything together to make a filling meal. The fries were sprinkled with some seasoning and came with yummy ketchup. Definitely looking forward to another visit!

    I ordered the falafel shawarma and chicken shawarma. Both were of large portion size, delicious, and flavorful! Definitely would order again!

    My fiancé and I saw their food truck in front of apartment building and we thought it was worth a try so we ordered the chicken shawarma.

    Just discovered this gem and let me say it's delicious and priced great. I crave Korean food a lot…read moreand beef bulgogi is my fav and they cook it perfectly. My only change would be is to make the kimchi a little more spicy

    Some of the best food truck eats in the DMV!....And, giving huge serving portions "ain't never hurt…read morenobody!" After pondering over the usual lunch options, I decided go on a food truck excursion for lunch today. On any given day, just outside the office, there's always several food trucks making their rounds in the Arlington-Ballston area. Luckily for me, Over the Rice decided to show up! Over the Rice seems to have a cult following. As soon as they tweet their location for the day, you can bet there is a line of folks waiting to partake in their fare. This I know, because every time they are anywhere near my office building my coworkers run for the doors during lunch like a cow herd. And, I see why! The food is always fresh and the flavor is there. This is my fourth time visiting this truck and I can attest one thing for sure....the food and taste is consistent....actually, really good. You pick your choice of meat(s): Steak, Grilled Chicken, Lamb, Pork and there is a vegetarian option as well. Then, the assembly of a great meal begins. If you are indecisive like me, they offer a combo meat option which is usually my go to....Chicken n' Steak or....when in the mood to change things up....the Chicken n' Lamb! One word...its "HittinNStickin!" The meat is so tender, juicy...and most of all seasoned! It is served over rice (yellow basmati rice), of course and comes with a side salad and two quarter slices of pita bread. The food is more than enough to share...in my opinion. The finisher that makes the food a hit....is the Tzatziki sauce ANNNDDDDDD this spicy kind of sauce I can't seem to put my finger on it! But, whatever it is.....make sure you order extra of both!! lol THE GOOD IN A NUTSHELL: Overall, you can't go wrong with this food truck! Fast friendly service, fresh tasting, flavorful food, good portions, and you don't get a sense of bad food handling practices like some food trucks or feel like you are going to need a pack of Tums to alleviate the bubble-guts...after consuming it. Nothing but a thumbs up experience and clean operation here. THE EIGHT BALL IN THE CORNER POCKET: The long lines are the only down side, but look at it this way...."good things come to those who wait"....besides, if there was no line then that may not be a good sign for sure! lol

I got the beef pho which was a very generous portion for $9. Service was so quick and I couldn't wait to get back to my office to finish the prep! Separate baggie came with your sprouts, jalapeno, and some amazingly fragrant Thai basil! I of course got some of the standard Sriracha and fish sauce to add as well! The pho hit the spot for sure! There were lots of noodles which I enjoy in my pho, made it a very hearty and filling meal. I enjoyed every yummy bite! My coworkers kept coming over to my desk because everyone was smelling its deliciousness! I'm a phan of this phood truck, pho sho!

Raw shrimp just chillin inside. Yep...see the picture, I was in shock. Shooketh as my friends would say. Not to mention the sauce was watery, the rice paper on the roll was hard and the noodles they used weren't even right (very stringy and thin). I'm done with this place. 1 Star...i may or may not get sick from the raw shrimp that I bit a piece of, we'll see. At least they gave me a full refund. Never coming back btw. This post is to warn everyone because whoever is prepping food seems to be careless.
