So good- perfectly spicy, sour, crispy shell & just delicious. So good with the tamarind sauce. Highly recommend if you haven't tried.

Stopped here as part of a Jackson Heights food crawl where I was trying the three trucks in this area (this is located next to Fuchka House and Fuchka Garden). The doi fuchka was absolutely amazing.

Ordered: Fuchka (~$7): semolina shells, chipped open and filled with savory potato, yellow peas, onion, chili, and cilantro and shavings of hard-boiled egg, with tangy tamarind sauce Aya's take: One of my favorite and most unique bites of 2024! Walking in Jackson Heights (and particularly in this area), there are a lot of fuchka carts and I'm glad we went to Tong. Fuchka is a very popular Bangladeshi street food and I was super excited to give it a try. It's unlike anything I've ever tried. The semolina shells are super delicate yet crisp. They are loaded with ingredients yet don't fall apart somehow. The mix of potato, yellow peas, and onion go so well together and to my surprise, the hard-boiled egg was one of my favorite parts of the entire bite. I liked being able to pour as much of the tangy tamarind sauce as I liked and it really gave it that fresh and aromatic layer of flavor that took it to the next level. Great price and great try!

This humble street cart has a perfect 5 star rating for a reason. Their Bangladeshi street food is so good it's inspired many copycats all around Jackson Heights. I always try to stop here when I'm in the area, though planning ahead is wise, because they will often command lines around the block for these delicious morsels of heaven. I've enjoyed Bangladeshi fuschka from spots around Midwood in Brooklyn, and their Indian equivalent, pani puri, but Tong's holds a place in my heart for making the very best. I recommend getting an order of their Fuschka, a thin, crispy deep fried hollow shell filled with chickpeas, potato, yogurt, tamarind, and spices. I also recommend getting their Doi Chotpoti, which is a slightly sweeter version that has more of a mango-y flavor. I think this is the ideal snack to have on the go between meals that scratches both a savory and sweet itch. Remember to bring cash!

Why was this one of the best things I ate in NYC so far? Maybe it's because I don't have a ton of experience with Fuska but this place was genuinely mind-blowing. Came for dinner and there was already a lot of people crowding around the food cart. I noticed that they are looking to open a store location, which would be very exciting although I hope the prices don't grow. We ordered the Doi Fuska (not entirely sure what's the difference between that and the regular Fuska), and it was amazing! If you're a texture eater, you would absolutely love this as there are so many different textures from the crispy cracker on the outside to the mashed potato texture on the inside. Also, I loved the flavor bomb as both the sweet and the savory come through without feeling too overwhelming as it was "suppressed" by the yogurt. Absolutely love this place and can't wait to try out more of their menus!

This food truck has some of the best food in New York. I have never had Doi Fuchka before, but this is such an amazing dish I didn't know I was missing out on. Doi Fuchka - This had so many flavors, textures, and temperatures. It was so enjoyable to eat. The peas and potato mixture inside the hollow crisp was soft, flavorful, and slightly spicy. The cold creamy yogurt on top was refreshing. Overall, I would highly recommend this place as a must-eat in Jackson Heights. The Doi Fuchka is to die for!!!

It's really fascinating seeing all the fushcka trucks one by one in this corner of jackson heights all with similar offerings. Some have lines some don't, and I havent tried many of them, so keep that in mind as I write my review. We ordered on Doi Fuschka and One with Egg. Personally, I am more familiar with Pani/Dahi Puri, which seem like a comparable alternative to these food trucks. These trucks are cash only, but Tong does a good job at allowing for people to pay with Venmo as well. There is quite a crowd in this area, no tables, but alot of stools (that have weird jurisdiction rules between trucks, kinda confusing, my group of friends was yelled at for sitting at another truck). Food was out within 10 mins, frankly takes a bit of time, but was overall really good for a snack. Its sharable across a group of friends and it quite a vibe. Did not taste much egg in the egg fuschka, and we were given "Pani" in a small bowl, and that is not nearly as much pani required for a true pani puri experience. The doi was sweet, but did taste slightly off putting, compare to dahi puri's I have tasted in the past for some reason. Overall, was not taken away by this food cart, and did not think it stood out compared to the other 5-6 fuschka carts in the same block. Personally, I think if you go next door to get some Pani/Dahi Puri, its a much better experience. I get the hype, but was not taken away. There seem to be better, similar, dishes in the same area in my opinion.

We tried the original fuschka and were happy with it. They were crisp but not greasy and filled with potatoes and chickpeas. The tamarind dipping sauce adds the perfect amount of acidity. Highly recommended.

Very very good Fuska (Pani puri) and jhal muri. I've come here multiple times! The price point is right and with all the hype they get, I appreciate they didn't increase it more (please don't !) . Food: Fuska (Pani puri) $7 -- I've tried both versions: the one with yogurt and the one with tamarind (?) sauce. Overall, I prefer the one with tamarind sauce. However, if it's a hot day, you might enjoy the one with yogurt more as it has a refreshing taste to it. Jhal muri $6 -- you can comfortably share this with two people. I liked how moist it was too. It's not all that spicy imo, but then again I'm Bengali and my spice tolerance is high . Lol Ambience: They provide stools like in Bangladesh, lol. Service: is good. They only accept cash but they do take Zelle (for a fee).

I had long heard of Tong but never had the opportunity to make it out to Jackson Heights so when I finally found the time to visit, I was beyond ecstatic. I found the food truck at around 2pm and luckily made it before the line got exponentially longer from what I'm assuming are tour groups. Note, there are surprisingly a good number of tour guides leading groups to Tong (and some around the corner to Fuchka House as well). I ordered their original Fuchka ($7) which came with 7 crispy puris filled with mashed split yellow peas and potatoes, onions, cilantro, and a generous heaping of grated boiled eggs. The tamarind water was refreshing and tangy and sweet, with just a hint of heat. I can definitely see that the differences between fuchka and their more famous cousin pani puri, the latter of which is often served with a spicy and minty chutney and topped with crispy chickpea noodles. However, both are best eaten immediately served, off the side of the food truck. The fuchka was light and crispy and shattered into a juice bomb in my mouth. I could clean a plate or two of these easily-- they are that delectable. Just a note, make sure to bring change as they do not accept large bills.

My wife introduced me to this place, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. I had never had fuschka before . . . and after having it here, now I want it ALL the time. Like drive 70 miles to New York City all the time. Fuschka is savory, sweet and crunchy all at once. A true Bangladeshi treat. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Tong offers one of the best bites of food anywhere at any level in New York City and if you haven't eaten here at some point, you should make a trip to this humble cart your next dining destination. Tong is brilliant in bringing the cuisine of Bangladesh to the masses in the form of street food that can be consumed quickly without compromising taste and quality. Being Bangladeshi myself, I often prefer eating my mom's cooking over what is offered at most restaurants simply because most Bangladeshi restaurants offer the same menu and the quality is nowhere near what I'm accustomed to eating at home. Tong stands out in that they offer food that is fulfilling and flavorful while being fresh and perfect with each bite when consumed right then and there. Taking visitors on a food tour of Jackson Heights is one of my favorite activities and without fail the fuchka from Tong is usually the highlight of the tour: there is no more perfect bite with a perfect crunchy texture and flavor. It makes me proud as a Bangladeshi-American to see my culture represented so well and it is an honor to share my culture with my friends. Tong is a must when in New York City, highly recommended!
