I work at the courthouse and didn't feel like driving for lunch and it was too late for DoorDash. My coworker remembered seeing this cart off Ross and Civic Center and there it was, on the corner! We both ordered the regular Philly sandwich without mayo which came with fries and a drink for about $15. They accept credit card and took about 5 minutes to make fresh. The sandwich was decent but next time I'll ask for easy seasoning. Both the sandwich and fries were a bit salty. I was full all day and enjoyed my lunch. Was it the best Philly sandwich I've had? Maybe not but it's not bad read more

We have had The Philly King both times that they have been at our apartment. Their service is sooo wonderful. The workers are super friendly and helpful. The food is amazing!!!! The original philly cheesesteak was so bomb and flavorful. You can tell that all of the ingredients were fresh. The prices were pretty good as well considering that they are a food truck. I would definitely recommend. read more

The Philly King, Santa Ana has me in a chokehold cause why is their food ridiculously soooo good?!!! Drove 1hr plus and I'd do it again, no questions asked!! I GOT THE Pastrami fries and my GOD they were AMAZING!!! Loaded up with pastrami meat, gooey cheese (white & cheddar--yes, please), sautéed onions and pickles! Coke and bottled water on the side. Easily can feed 2-3 people -- if you're the sharing type! Otherwise you can eat off the plate 2 more times!! Loved their professionalism Great portions More than reasonable prices I'm so serious when I say: RUN!!! Don't walk --Oh and catch them before 2pm!! Definitely recommend and will be back, SOON!!! read more

Very casual and friendly food truck. I ordered the Cali Cheesesteak and the staff were super friendly. Since it was my first time there she had me try some fries at no extra charge. The cheesesteak itself was solid. Lots of flavor and lots of contents. No skimping here. The red and cilantro sauces are bonus. Though next time I should try the hoagie, I woulda liked my bread crispier but that's not really anyones fault. Lastly I think this food truck can benefit from some portable chairs n tables. I lowkey had to look for a dining patio at OC County Hall nearby because there's no way I'm eatin this in my car lol. But yea I wouldve really loved to had sat n dined right then n there. Probably will come back for that hoagie read more

People ... I do NOT like Cheesesteaks, but The Philly King has transformed me making me a believer. Yum in every single direction - fresh bread, flavorful steak, and toppings to rave about. Thanks for the YUM!!! read more

This food truck was at the OCSC game on 10/4/25 in Irvine. Fast and friendly service in a casual atmosphere. Simplest menu I've ever seen. Only options were either a cheesesteak, fries, or cheesesteak fries. Overpriced, but what food truck isn't? It was $15 before tax and tip for a decent sized sandwich. It was good, but most of the meat chunks were too large to take in one bite, and the sandwich was served so scalding hot that it made it that much more difficult to manage. I was asked if I wanted hot peppers, which I said I didn't want, but then the sandwich came with no peppers at all. To my knowledge, Philly cheesesteaks are supposed to come with regular red and green peppers (not "hot" at all), but maybe I'm wrong? Miscommunication? I enjoyed the flavor of the sandwich I got, but the aforementioned made me not absolutely love the experience. read more

I'm one of very few Food Truck affectionados since I don't usually have time to drive around to a particular location and park and wait for the food to be cooked! However, I have had three occasions in not so distant past of getting the Korean BBQ Tacos, Thai Food, Syrian Food and Halal Brothers in NYC. So I'm not a newby or brand new customer for this particular culinary experience that everyone is raving about. I just recently received a marketing but very personal text via Yelp offering $3 off of $15 Phyllis Steak from Phyllis King Food Truck. At that particular point in time I had absolutely no desire for a sandwich, but I replied yes and took my wife and my father for lunch at the Santa Ana Downtown location where a nice, new food truck with QRS order sign and simple menu with everything from Pastrami French Fries, Cheese Burger, Reuben Sandwich, Phyllis Cheese Steak Sandwich, etc. Don't let the simple menu fool you. This Food Truck has Michelin Star Chef with immensely delicious and generous hot sandwiches with all the right ingredients. Also the cleanliness of the truck inside and out with hygienic blue medical grade gloves, hand sanitizer use, plenty of top quality to go boxes and sterile containers all speak volumes about the highest quality food truck ever. The husband and wife team are absolutely flawless and customer care top five stars. I took home five sandwiches with two large French Fries with pastrami cheese on top, six different sauces and extra red chili peppers. The cheeseburger was to die for. Once at home we dived into the sandwiches like the hungry pack of wolves even though we are all watching our weight. My youngest daughter is very strict with her diet but she broke her fast with the cheeseburger. I ate Phyllis CheeseSteak Sandwich smothered in onions, extra cheese and absolutely delicious hot au jus sauce-deep, savory yet light with slight salty flavors were absolutely amazing. My True Yelping Mukbang Friends: go and try everything they have. I guarantee you'll enjoy this gem of excellent hot sandwiches from the East Coast! You will not regret it. read more

This spot knows how to do burgers right. The patty was juicy and packed with flavor, with that perfect sear on the outside while staying tender inside. I ordered the house special with cheese, bacon, and their signature sauce--it was messy in the best way, the kind of burger you need extra napkins for but don't regret for a second. The bun was soft and fresh, but still sturdy enough to hold everything together. Fries were crispy and golden, and the portion was generous (definitely worth adding on). What really stood out, though, was the balance of flavors--nothing felt overdone or greasy, just well thought out and satisfying. Service was quick and friendly, and the whole vibe of the place felt casual and welcoming, the kind of spot you want to come back to with friends. If you're a burger lover, this place is absolutely worth a stop. read more

Pretty good Philly cheesesteak --the bread was fresh and the steak was super flavorful. Definitely a solid spot, I'll be coming back!

Best of the best. Home grown. Born in Santa Ana and for Santa Ana. Great owners who truly care about our community

I really wanted to like them more than I did, and maybe cause I had been hunting them down and going out of my way I had higher expectations. Ever since I moved to the OC I have been looking for two things, a really bomb thai place and an awesome Philly cheesesteak. I am still on the lookout for both if y'all have any recommendations. I've made a few attempts and still haven't had a Philly cheesesteak from here... they ran out apparently... and then another time they had COVID so they didn't show up? And another time they just weren't there? Super flakey about locations and where they're gonna be so make sure to check on their Instagram or call? (I tried but they didn't pick up) I tried their shrimp po boy, it was okay... the shrimp was tasty, but just wasn't anything special. The pastrami fries were okay as well. The Hat is better (I don't even enjoy the Hat like that but theirs is better) I didn't enjoy the cut of their fries and they were limp and the sauce on top wasn't interesting or lending any flavor. I guess if I stumble upon them again at Chapman Crafted again I'll try and get a Philly cheesesteak if they aren't "sold out". read more

Good stuff! Had the Philly mushroom and was so grateful they had Whiz! Customer service was amazing to the point when I asked what their "East Coast Refresher" was that they said I could sample one on them and I ABSOLUTELY recommend it. It's like a cucumber lemonade and so refreshing on a day like today. Thank you!! read more

The food is the best in town! My wife have visited their food truck in Irvine multiple times and they never disappoint. Mario and his wife go out of their way to treat every customer as part of their family. I recommend checking them out ASAP you won't regret it. Their bread is amazing and my wife would eat it alone if she could. However, if you want the full treatment I highly recommend Philly turkey my wife's go to and I love the Mr. Reuben. If you are a serious foodie you have to try their Philly Cheesesteak Fries!!!! read more

Easily the worst food truck experience ever. 4th of July 2023, Newport Dunes: All prices were blank, and we paid $63 for 2 Philly cheesesteaks, one portion of regular fries, and a teeny tiny container of jalapeño slices (no drinks). We paid cash: no receipt was given (consistent with someone pocketing the money and not ringing it up). Surprisingly, the food was ready within seconds, and when we got to the table and started to eat, we realized why: it had been pre-prepared, was not hot, fries stale, bread was like an old crumbly sponge, falling apart. The "cheese" was something resembling liquid plastic. My best guess: whoever ordered the food before us found out about the ridiculous prices, and wasn't as hungry as we were. In hindsight I wish we'd left with a "are you out of your mind?!!", and eaten at a different food truck (they all had their - reasonable - prices on the display). read more

I got the traditional philly steak and it was the best I've had. Everything is made to order and I love how you can order online.

Amazing cheesesteak. I found this place through off the menu, and when ordering a Philly cheesesteak, they gave us a generous portion of meat and bell peppers. Never have I had a cheesesteak at a food truck until now, and it's definitely on point. I would definitely go there again and try out their pastrami sandwich read more

Love this family run food truck and the fact that there is a gluten friendly option with the cheesesteak fries and Reuben loaded fries. The owners are so sweet and even made us loaded tots one day when they we're running low on some ingredients. Follow them on IG to get updates on location and schedule. Highly recommend for anyone working or living in the Santa Ana Civic Center during lunch time. read more

Had the Mr. Reuben sandwich. It was really good and loaded with goodness. Not skimpy on the amount of meat on it. The seasoned fries are bomb too. Mario the owner is big on customer service. Highly recommend visiting this food truck. read more

I had their Classic Cheesesteak at the 2023 4th of July food truck at Newport Dunes. The sandwich was really terrible. I paid for extra meat and I got extra onions and green peppers instead. They ran out of real cheese and were using cheese wiz but the sandwich was still $22. There were no mushrooms in it like shown on their menu photo. The bread was lousy. Overall the whole thing was almost disgusting. Sad excuse for a cheese steak. read more

The cheese steak was amazing! They said it was the half or small but that thing was ore then enough for one person. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Great food truck. Really enjoyed the Philly cheese steak sandwich. It's also very large. Fries were good too! They park the food truck off and on at the Bruery and it's a great opportunity to try their food. read more

Not only is the food amazing but the guys are great. Definitely recommend the traditional philly with added shrimp.

I think they know how to make a good cheese steak but they just didn't. The bread was good and the steak was good but the veggies were hard and tasted raw and they put one piece of American cheese on it (I watched them). Honestly I'd rather have had Philly' Best. read more

Tried their cheesesteak today for the first time and gotta say it was on point! Delicious sandwich and make sure you try that relish! Will definitely be coming back! read more
