The fries were freshly made and the pork was smokey. And I'm glad I got the kimchi added. Food - 10/10 I only got the fries but they were solid and I'd totally get them again Ambiance - meh, it's a food truck. I had mine to go because I was taking it back to my office so there really isn't any ambiance to speak of. I deducted a star because the prices always surprise me. It's a food truck with no brick and mortar but the prices are what you would see at a restaurant. It's good food and I know food prices have gone up but if there's no restaurant then I shouldn't pay restaurant prices. That's the only downside.

I swear the Bulgogi Fries were screaming my name, though. Yoyo's Hotdog - Yoyo--YO. This thing slaps. I definitely craved a Coke or a beer while eating this because that salt kicks your taste buds' *ss. The caramelized onions paired with the crunchy onions were a double whammy that could topple a few hot dog title holders. The real winner, though, was the sauce--definitely something Asian-inspired. But hey, I'm running on five hours of sleep, and that's the best my smooth brain could come up with to describe the experience. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I got their famous hotdog with spicy mayo, french onion, sautéed onions, and hot sauce. (That's how it comes standard) don't get me wrong it's definitely a lot going on from the flavors and the messiness of the dog, but the flavors balance out very well and the all beef hot dog is delicious. There's no spice from the mayo or hot sauce so if you don't like spice you'll be fine. I also tried their bulgogi fries which came with bulgogi meat, jalepenos, cheese and cilantro. My first reaction was it was delicious but it wouldn't be something I would get again, but after I kept eating it I realized this is actually really good and now when I go back I'll definitely try it again. Overall I definitely recommend this place to visitors or even locals

The menu that day was limited to a few items. I went with the Korean BBQ Beef Poboy. It also came with a side of fries. The poboy included toasted bread stuffed with Korean BBQ beef on top of a layer of coleslaw. All of which were drizzled in what seemed to be spicy mayo. The fries were thick and seasoned nicely. A good amount of beef on a well toasted bread and the coleslaw was the perfect balance to the poboy. The overall portion was quite big for me to finish. The food came out pretty fast although I was the first one in line. The guy who took my order and also made the food was friendly. Overall, a quick and easy lunch. However, I'm still bummed out I didn't get to try the lobster roll. Maybe if I can catch them again at another time.

Hope they get it together by taking some business courses so that this hopefully this truck survives with the same fast, quality food and great service.

Despite being decently busy with a steady line of people ordering, we got the Brazilian Limeade immediately and the Gaucho Fries within five minutes of ordering. I don't remember the cost exactly but I remember thinking it was fair, especially considering how outrageous event pricing can get on refreshments. The Brazilian Limeade was perfect. The weather was cool but it could get a little warm in the sun, making the limeade very refreshing. It was very mellow, not too sweet, and not too tart. The Gaucho Fries were exactly what we wanted, some very tasty loaded fries with a Brazilian twist. All in all, if you are hungry and happen to stumble across this food truck, definitely check it out!

I wouldn't exactly say Foodgasm, more like food foreplay…read more I got a cheeseburger (no tomato, no mayo) added an egg and got a side of rings. The rings are more breaded than battered, the ratio of onion to batter is off and you can't really taste the beer. For $4 I'd opt for fries next time. The burger was tasty, but the egg was over done and there was WAY too much mustard on that sucker. There was a constant trickle of customers but I'm not sure there was enough peeps to warrant a 20 min wait for grub. The guy seemed to be doing it solo. I'd try again, but would amend my order. If you call yourself Foodgasm, you gotta perform. Every time!

Unfortunately, between the long wait (1 hr) and the tasteless food...I have no option but to give it the low rating. The chicken was over cooked. The jollof was bland and tasteless and borderline mushy (not grainy). The lamb was also overcooked. There were a couple of saving graces...,namely the fataya (the filling was a bit salty...but still good) and the shawarma was okay. I'll love to see them win. They just need to turn the flavor up and work on their cooking/wait time. Also, it's rather expensive for what you get. A disappointment to say the least

And every single time, I order the exact same thing. The sampler egg rolls? Elite. The standout egg rolls? Always the crab and shrimp. This time, on my way to the airport, they were out of crab, so I went with its substitute (crawfish and shrimp) instead. Still just as good. Honestly, it's a treat for me because, yes, three egg rolls total about $21, but they're more than worth it--hearty, packed full, always fresh. And the different sauces? That's just the icing on the cake. This time around, my friend and her son ordered fries and a Philly cheesesteak. The fries? Crispy and perfectly seasoned. And the Philly? Hands down, the best rendition of a cheesesteak I've had south of Pennsylvania. I will continue to sing the praises of The Better Box. The quality is consistent. The taste is consistent.
