I had a Pork Katsu sandwich which I ate in the sun on the grass at nearby Gray's Inn Fields and it was epic. They are generous with the fillings. I've also had much success with the okonomiyaki which is always delicious. Make sure you get the sauce and the seaweed on top. It's not too dear for a Leather Lane lunch either. The sushi is also great although I would get there early as they often run out (and you don't want to hang around for unrefrigerated sushi even if it is in a cool box). The staff are always friendly and if you go often enough they start to recognise and acknowledge you as a regular. Highly recommended.

On the day, they arrived around 12 to start preparing everything and the food was served beautifully around 7pm. They handled everything themselves and even left the kitchen immaculate afterwards. The team was so down to earth and friendly and the food was incredible. I would 10000% recommend Luardos -- they made the day so special and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I've been a MAHUSSIVE fan of this little blue food truck for about 2 years now and it has never disappointed. It even rivals Pancho's for me (anyone who knows me or Pancho's will understand). The ingredients are fresh, the shredded beef is just perfect AND as an added bonus today I chose to have chorizo thrown in there too! It was a great addition, slightly over powering BUT I enjoyed it all the same. NOM.

Also, it just moved locations from Granary Square to Lewis Cubitt Square (a 5 minute walk away) which has tons more seating and a lovely green space to sit out and have a picnic lunch...also this move makes this week-day event almost absurdly close to my house. In general, Kerb is pretty awesome. It has a huge selection of different vendors that swap frequently, making lunch in my neighborhood infinitely more interesting. I'm marking it down a star because I've had a somewhat hit and miss experience here. Most of the time it's awesome and I have no problem finding an attractive option...but sometimes the trucks are all too similar or uninteresting. That's probably just me being picky. Highlights of my eating here have been a fab Taiwanese box meal with pork, chicken and mushrooms (yummm) and a delicious fried chicken sandwich. Now that I've realized how close the new location is, I'll likely be there all the time. In any case, I love me some Kerb and am SO HAPPY it's a five minute walk from my house.

Their Yellow Curry is honestly the BEST Thai Curry ever and is so addictive. My husband first told me about the place while looking for places to get lunch after moving offices. He would take it back to his desk and within minutes of the smell wafting around the office everybody else would then run out and get some too. I haven't tasted a Yellow Curry as good as from this van yet despite my desperate search. Of all the food stalls the Market has to offer this is defiantly one to try! EDIT: May 2013. I had to revisit this place while back visiting family and it's still as good as it was. Under $5 for a meal that's better than most restaurants. Love love love!!

All of those things shouldn't work together, but they do! Honestly, give it a shot! Also, the sandwiches are gigantic. The guys working the truck are also the nicest dudes. Pro-tip: if you want the 28-day beef sandwich, you gotta get there early.

Hot, flavourful; meat, cheese and onions should become one unit of deliciousness. These are defo delicious but didn't have the steam aroma when I unwrapped it & they're cooked using oil but were not greasy - thank goodness. Original cheesesteaks may be cooked with mushrooms or hots and the ketchup and/or mustard are added before the meat goes onto the roll. These guys don't offer those varieties but I assure you, these are darn good versions of my beloved Philly Original. I noticed they're offering the Philly pork sandwich so I'll be back to sample that too. Well done guys, very well done! P.S. If in the future you can master the Philly Cheesesteak Hoagie, you'll get an instant 5 Star review.

So I was quite surprised when I saw Liberty Cheesesteak in the listing of places at the Yelp Red event. Immediately I started Googling and found out that a) they looked like some tasty cheesesteaks and b) that I wasn't going to be able to try it until at the Yelp event. My other half was able to try it out though before the event and was suitably impressed. I was so excited to try and eagerly went for my cheesesteak taster and thought, meh. It's fine but a bit dry or something. My husband though insisted it was just because of the making-ahead-bulk-nature of trying to feed eleventy million hungry Yelpers at once and that it was better fresh. So today I hopped on a bus at lunchtime to go to the Mayfair Market at Brown Hart Gardens. Never had been there before and I was impressed with the location - up a flight of stairs, but loads and loads of seating and generally relaxed, with a handful of food choices. Of course for me there was no choice, just meeeeaaaattttt. I found the tiny stand and determined that no one was queuing to order, and eagerly placed my order for a half with onions and cheese whiz. There were about 10 orders ahead of me but the line cleared quickly and I soon had my sandwich. There was a small mix up and I ended up with a whole instead of a half. Such mistakes are fine by me! I was rewarded for my persistence. The meat was well seasoned with a nice peppery taste, and the Italian roll soft but chewy in a nice way. The onions were soft but not sweet, and the whiz was savoury and salty and unhealthy tasting, just like I wanted. 2 tiny niggles were that I had a couple of pieces of meat that could have been trimmed a bit better - but I'm a complete fuss pot and no one else would probably notice. And I would have liked more cheese. But I always want more cheese, and I'm sure if I asked for heavy on the cheese next time that I wouldn't be denied. Definitely better than the cheesesteak I had in Philadelphia from Geno's. Now to just figure out how to follow them around and be a cheesesteak groupie without seeming like a weirdo...
