It's located on this street in 8th ave that's always busy. But, I always stop by to get because it's so good!! You hand the cashier/cook the money and then he'll give you a bag of freshly made and toasty mini cakes. Right now, it's $1.50 for 15 mini cakes. It's so good, and I've been going here since forever.

I send my husband here almost every time he goes to 8th avenue to get mochi. These mochi are the best in all of NYC. I think you can only get better if you can make it better yourself! Their tofu pudding is excellent as well as their soy milk. Their taro cake is a little dense and on the salty side but also good. I wish I had a place like this up in Flushing! Bring cash.

Grabbed a bacon enoki and lamb skewer here after a late night out drinking. I expected more pieces…read moreof bacon enoki mushroom but it was only 4 and they were kind of small compared to Mr. Grill's. The lamb skewer was really meh. It was two pieces of lamb that had a meatball texture, it wasn't juicy or succulent. The prices here a little lower than Mr. Grill's but the food at Mr. Grill's is better. Incase you do end up coming here for skewers, make sure you call the number first because it's listed in the wrong location. It's actually the 49th street address. The number is actually directed to the 49th street shop. There was nothing on 60th and 61st when I passed it.

This father and son place has such an upbeat vibe, I guess they really enjoy what they do, the menus offer variety of veggies, sausages, and meats; more than what they used to have in a cart. they're still using the charcoal for grilling, flavor is just as good! slightly more expensive but i guess they have to foot the overheads.

I had my first opportunity to visit Gobuki today. I dropped by around 2PM and the stall was empty…read moresans the male and female couple manning the cart. A quick look at the menu yields the usual suspects found on fast food Korean menus: kalbi over rice and bulgogi sandwich. However, what intrigued me was the fried udon, which I ended up ordering. The chef stir fried a pack of white udon noodles with sliced cabbage and carrots, adding sesame oil, soy sauce and oyster sauce. I was pretty happy when the tourists walking by murmured, "That smells so good." As a Yelper, you have to love "food envy". I added on extra beef and when I received my order, I was pleasantly surprised by the weight. Seemed like a great bargain for $8. I settled back at my apartment and started my feast. The dish was packed with udon, rice, bulgogi, veggies and three fried dumplings. The dumplings were subpar, but still a nice side dish, acting similar to a breadbasket. It's there for you, but you don't have to eat it. The top was covered with bulgogi and Korean chili sauce, an above average showing for a food cart. The beef is nicely marinated and with the paste had a nice sweet and mildy spicy flavor. The udon noodles were excellent. Fried and cooked with soy sauce and oyster sauce, the noodles had a slight brown tint and smelled amazing The lady also drizzled some aioli sauce and bundled with the veggies gave off a creamy texture. Add to the fact that it's a rare dish to find at a food truck, gives the fried udon even more value. All in all, it seemed like a great and solid cart. Hopefully, Gobuki will stay for a while and the lines will start forming (not sure how it is during prime lunch time). I do have to note that the surface for cooking was rather small, so there could be a production logjam if customers are ordering the fried udon in multiples.

Bapcha used to be there and I didn't like their food that much (plus their cheap portions), but I saw a different team there and figured to give it a shot. The kalbi is VERY flavorful and the meat to rice ratio is pretty good (not cheap with the meat). They also offer it in a (baguette) and have bulgoki (with rice or on baguette also), mandu, spicy chicken, and fried udon. Looking forward to the fried udon next time I go there. Decent prices ranging from $6-$8. The only downfall is that it's a long line and you may have to wait a little - but better than Duke (feels like sardines in there!).

I put it in my mouth, and that's what happened. I inhaled the whole thang down. Then I looked at what I had done, and it was good. I think the vendor's secret must be either using Hebrew National or injecting liquid into the hot dog, because it's so moist and juicy when you bite into it. The amount of condiments and kraut is just right.

I don't care if it's not in good taste to give a hot dog vendor 5 stars.

For $2, I enjoyed my first real meal of the day and the first in NYC in 2 years - a dog with spicy mustard and sauerkraut. And it was good, people. Reeeal good. Made well enough that mustard didn't squirt out all over me and peg me as the lame-o Midwesterner posing as a slick kitty from the city for a day. Delicious enough to soothe my empty stomach (yes, it's true - sauerkraut can soothe! Who knew?). I think I mentioned in my Renegade Craft Fair review that I purchased an "I [picture of Chicago-style hot dog] Chicago" t-shirt, which has led my husband and me to add "I hot dog Chicago" to our vernacular. Now I can say I hot dog New York, too.

Unfortunately a lot of the rolls we wanted to get like beef brisket and curry fish balls ran out, also too is the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. We ended up settling for roast pork rice roll, and a beef version, and lastly fish ball version. They make it from scratch which is nice to see while the ingredients are chopped up to small pieces. I do wish they put more ingredients in but for the price they charge (average of $2.75 per roll), no complaints there. There is one small table outside to eat in but no indoor seating or bathroom. I would give 3 strong stars.

Portions are big for the price ($2-$2.5). Theyre made fresh and only take a couple of minutes. The only add-on is scallions. Their soy milk is alright, although the soy taste is a bit watered down. I tried their soy pudding twice. It's extremely watered down and the consistency is not great. Wouldn't recommend.
