I have been following The Traveling Kitchen food trucks around Louisville for years now. My fascination with their food began when I was working with Humana downtown and I could see them on the streets from the 9th floor of the Humana Building. Their food is delicious down to their free kimchi to introduce people to something out of our Kentucky norm. I highly recommend the Fish Tacos and pan fried dumplings. The team working the truck are the kindest people and always great for conversation. Follow their socials to see where they will be serving next. read more

Some of the best Korean tacos I've ever had are found at The Traveling Kitchen food truck! This has been a long time favorite, but during Covid they stopped coming to 5th and Market. A few weeks ago they reappeared and are starting a more regular rotation again with Fridays at 5th and Market from 11-1:15. It's hard to describe how delicious these tacos are, but it's like a party in my mouth. My go to tacos are Korean Beef Bulgogi taco, Spicy Pork taco and Teriyaki chicken tacos. They are $4 each (after price increase), but if you purchase three it's $11. They also have a fish and tempura taco and dumplings. I always get the pan fried dumplings and they are amazing ($5). The sauce it comes with is slightly tangy and compliment the dumplings perfectly. Now back to the tacos - each have kimchi fried rice, meat, cilantro and sauce. I always add kimchi to each taco too, it's free but you have to ask. The Bulgogi is slightly sweet, the pork is not very spicy but has a great flavor and the chicken is so good. I would highly recommend trying them all. To order, you stand to the left of the line waiting for food. At some point you'll be asked for your order. Sometimes it takes a little longer but so worth the wait. Once you have ordered you can then join the food line. You don't pay until you get to the front of the line, and then your food is ready! They also offer some soft drinks and water for purchase. I LOVE this food truck and suggest you follow them online to see where they are going to be so you can become an addict like me! read more

Oh how I missed this Food Truck. Prior to quarantine, The Traveling Kitchen was on 5th and Market by my office building on Wednesday's and Fridays every week. I would treat myself to their Korean Tacos a couple of times per month. Well Covid hit and I missed them so much! Well, my daughter sent me a text with their schedule this week, and we met them at 141 N Spring and all my dreams came true! We each got the three Korean Beef Bulgagi tacos with Kimchee full of flavorful steak topped with crunchy and mildly spicy Kimchee (optional) served on a flour tortilla. You can get one taco for $3, or three for $8. So why not save a dollar and have three? New this time we tried the pork dumplings. They were delicious pillows of pork and veggies with a scrumptious dipping sauce. Thank you Traveling Kitchen for providing us with your amazing food during Covid. Follow them on social media so you can become a groupy. read more

I am so thankful that Traveling Kitchen was my first experience with Korean tacos.... they were fantastic! They came to the neighborhood we were in for the evening with a long line of people, and now I can see why. Mexican is probably one of my favorite ethnic food groups, but I think I may now favor Asian tacos. They have multiple kinds to try, but I have to recommend the bulgogi beef tacos...so good! everything from the beef to the sauces was great. Aside from tacos, they also had pork dumplings, which you can get pan or deep fried... You must get these too!! Another first for me that I just loved. I see a lot of people stating that these are the best tacos in Louisville. And honestly, I can't oppose! read more

Best tacos in the city, and it's not even close. Well... I mean. They're Korean style. That needs to be noted. So if you're going expecting traditional Latino style tacos, this truck isn't for you, but I suggest you do not turn away. The beef taco is a bit sweet. I recommend getting it with kimchi to balance out the sweetness, but it's a solid option. The pork taco is spicy, and it's my favorite. Also get with kimchi to balance out that spice. The fish taco is my least favorite, but still excellent. Kimchi isn't needed here, unless you want to flare it up. The chicken taco is also really good, but my 3rd favorite after the pork and the beef. It's a serviceable taco. Three tacos for $9.00. And it's plenty of food. Order at the door, then get in line and wait for your food. You won't regret it. read more

I get this every chance that I can get! They have the best food and I love going to their food truck

Some of the best Asian inspired tacos out there! I recommend the Bulgogi beef and Teri chicken tacos with kim chi added. They both were very flavorful, with fresh ingredients and a nice amount of heat. I also tried their spicy pork and veggie taco which were also great and their dumplings. Well, now that I think about it I pretty much tried everything on their menu and everything was great. I'll have to try their fish taco the next time they come to 3rd turn in J-town. If you happen to come across this food truck definitely give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

The tacos and dumplings are absolutely incredible. I always order a bulgogi beef, teriyaki chicken and spicy pork along with an order of dumplings. Everything is always delicious. Dare I say, LAST MEAL WORTHY! Without question my favorite food truck in Louisville. read more

Traveling Kitchen - Spicy Pork, Teriyaki Chicken, Bulgogi Beef. Deep Fried Dumplings - Food Trucks Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

And if you threw a party, invited everyone you knew, you would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say, thank you for having this food truck. I joke: I wouldn't show up to your party, food truck or no, but I would show up to something with these amazing Asian tacos. We tried all of them, even the tempura fish, and enjoy them all. I normally eschew fish - especially fried fish - but this time I had been drinking so it wasn't a big deal. They also had dumplings that were amazing, I was very cross with myself for sharing with my friend. I should have gotten all of the dumplings for myself and let her watch me eat but I'm not that type of person. I shared the dumplings. I'm usually don't get to eat from food trucks because, let's face it, hipsters surround them like it's the Walking Dead. We really can't have nice things. I'm glad the hipsters felt fusion cuisine is over. If you see this food truck going down the street push someone in front of it so it stops and get some tacos. You'll thank me later. read more

Amazing tacos. My absolute fav food truck! Fair warning you will crave them all the time once you try them! read more

Delicious every time. The people are also really nice. I recommend the spicy Korean pork and tempura fish though you have to come early because the pork runs out pretty early. It comes to UofL on Tuesdays only but is so worth the wait. read more

Great food and quick service! We tried everything but the veggie taco and it was all wonderful. I was a bit surprised that the chicken tacos had a kick to them, but it wasn't too much. The pork dumplings (pan-fried) were my fave and not spicy at all. read more

Some of the best tacos in Louisville! This is a food truck that parks near my work every Wednesday. The people are very nice and they remember the repeat customers. The line is often long around 12 but moves quickly. Don't get there too late because they could run out of meats (depending on how busy they are)! The chicken, fish and veggie tacos are my favorite. The fish and veggie tacos are deep fried in a tempura batter. They also serve pork and beef tacos, which are delicious but sometimes the meat is too fatty for me. The Traveling Kitchen is definitely worth a try! read more

Do yourself a favor and look up where this truck is and RUN. The tacos are beyond great and the dumplings are super tasty as well.

Best tacos ever. I have stood in the rain and snow for 45 minutes just to get my wife and I some of those delicious chicken and kimchi tacos. Top it off with a side of mouth watering dumplings and you are enjoying life. Id invest in a restaurant location for this dreamy food. read more

Let's make this simple. Victor and his team are worth fighting the worst weather to find. The absolute best tacos and dumplings this side of the Ohio. Make sure to get 3 Spicy pork. They will not disappoint. read more

Traveling Kitchen - Food Trucks Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

My favorite food truck in town! These tacos are phenomenal! Between the tender meat, toppings, and sauces - these tacos are packed with so much flavor. Make sure to get kimchi - hell, get extra. It sets it over the edge. I've tried all the different tacos and I prefer the chicken and the spicy pork. I've also had the pan-fried dumplings, which are great. I rarely get to go to Traveling Kitchen because I don't work downtown where they're usually parked. So when I do get to go - I go all out and get everything. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food that you get. They are usually parked in the same places each week, but if you are wondering they put their location on their Facebook page. The line can be long and it can sometimes be a long wait for your food - but it's always so worth it. read more

Tried them out at the food truck mashup so happy I did. I've never tried asian/fusion tacos and this was a really good spin on it and was 100x better than the other taco I got from somewhere else (not naming). I did the mix of bulgogi, spicy pork and tempura fish. I know i don't like fish tacos but I wanted to try it anyways, still not a fan. Not their's wasn't good i just don't like it in general. But the spicy pork and bulgogi were on point! Nice portion comes with rice in it, lettuce in the fish taco. A little too much lettuce for my taste seems like a filler. But omg make sure to order it with kimchi (freeeee) it gives them all a nice kick and adds a little something! I been missing korean food so this was a good one to hit up :) for $11 for 3 or $4 each i wish it was a little cheaper since i found a mexican taco place that was less expensive and also delicious in Louisville but it seems reasonably priced. read more

Traveling Kitchen - Tacos (bulgogi, spicy pork and tempura fish) with kimchi - Food Trucks Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

The food is amazing! My wife and I absolutely love this food truck. When it's close to us we definitely go. We even go sometimes when it's far! read more

When I use to get out of class and see their food truck parked on campus... the speed walk started. Seriously, if you miss your opening chance the line will grow right before your eyes. I never knew I needed something new until I ate their tacos. Of course I love the classic tacos but these??? These are amazing. I love trying all their options because each one is delicious. Sometimes they even run out of certain tacos because it's so goooooood. I've recommended this truck to all my friends and none of them were disappointed. read more

I remember Matt and I trying the Traveling Kitchen in their early days. Korean-style tacos were not new to us; in 2009 we waited in an incredibly long line to try Korean barbecue tacos from Kogi in LA. So while the idea didn't seem radical or anything, we did appreciate Traveling Kitchen's execution. On any given day I wouldn't suggest rice on a taco with a flour tortilla, but it really works for them. Despite liking them, until recently I'd only had them sporadically. Then my office moved downtown, much to my delight. Food trucks rarely paid us a visit in the 'burbs. Now I have so many options that I wasn't expecting to form a habit, particularly because I try to bring my lunch. Curse you, Traveling Kitchen! My standard taco order is now one beef and two veggie. I've had the chicken and pork tacos as well, and I love their dumplings (pan-fried). I haven't had the fish, but I know it's popular. The bulgogi beef comes with rice, tomato, cilantro, and onion (I order without the latter). The veggie tempura features assorted fried veggies and lettuce, tomato, and cilantro. The lettuce is a nice compliment to the fried batter. Both come with sauces to round out the flavors. The tempura veggie has become my absolute favorite but I order the beef for variety. Since they are so popular, I try to take lunch early on days when I have them. Keep in mind that you order at the door to the left; the line that forms to the right is for pick-up/payment. read more

This week, I did whatever taco enthusiast would be excited about: 5 days straight of different taco places/food trucks (mostly food trucks). The traveling kitchen is BY FAR my favorite of all the taco places I've visited in Louisville. The flavor profile of each taco has its own hint of uniqueness in taste. The tacos are stuffed with rice, meat, pico and a line of a sauce. (With veggie option don't worry you vegans out there). It's spicy, but not overwhelmingly so and its just the right amount. The lady taking care of the customers is really nice and that's welcoming. A day before I leave and I find this gem...what a shame. I thoroughly recommend this food truck! read more

I was at work and I was hungry. I tried calling in a to go from a pizza place next door. They put me on hold and while I was listening to the beep beep of the hold line, I realized I was not at all in the mood for pizza or being on hold so I took to the sidewalk looking for grub. I've been working downtown for a while now and had yet to take advantage of the food trucks that are often very easy to find around main st. Today I found the traveling kitchen, they sell Asian fusion tacos from within a super cool food truck. They were busy, I was cool to wait. As the queue got longer a man popped out of the truck and started taking orders. Having never been there before, I asked what was good and he told me about the dumplings. So I snagged those, along with a couple of tacos, (I work at a taco shop on main so I like to try other local tacos to see how they stack up) I went with the fish and the chicken. I made my way back to work to munch. First I tried the dumplings, that come with a nice soy sauce. They were perfect. I'm glad I was alone, because I devoured those little pot stickers like a man possessed. The tacos were really good, I love a good fish taco. The chicken was awesome and had rice as a filler. But after having demolished the dumplings it was hard to process anything else. If you're in Louisville and see the traveling kitchen, do yourself a true solid and get the dumplings. read more

Traveling Kitchen - Chicken and fish tacos! - Food Trucks Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

We look for this food truck and will drive out of our way to grab tacos. Our two favorites our chicken teriyaki and beef bulgogi ...and of course their pan fried dumplings are the best in town by far. If you have not tried this truck you are missing out! read more

Not only are these guys like family to many of us but they have a heart of gold. We have spent many days standing in rain, snow and sunshine for these tacos. They give back daily dropping lunch to hospitals for our healthcare professionals. I have missed them and was happy to see them at my door. If you have not had these fabulous Korean tacos please add it to bucket list. read more

Love this truck!! Drove all the way in from Crestwood to the front of 3rd Turn in J'town. Made it just before they shut down. The tempura fish tacos are killer and the chicken or pork deep fried dumplings are what food dreams are made of. The entire menu is like food truck crack. Can't wait to go back!!!! read more

Best tacos ever!!! There service is amazing! I would drive an hour just to get these tacos. Hands down my favorite food

GEEAT tacos and friendly staff. I'm a taco fanatic, as most people are, and these are definitely one of my favorites! I usually get the bulgogi, the tempura fish, and the tempura veggie (I love tempura). My favorite is definitely the tempura veggie. Perfect amount of sauce and great variety of vegetables. All three of these are amazing though! Can't go wrong! And if you get 3, they're $8 instead of $3 each! read more

Traveling Kitchen - Bulgogi, tempura fish, tempura veggie - Food Trucks Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

I don't even know where to start with this review...seriously, the struggle is real because this truck is so yummy. I thought Urban Kitchen was my fav, but they fell off the grid and TK has rocked my food truck world! I seek out their truck 2-3 times a week (if I can); Tuesdays at dental school, and Fridays at Apocalypse Brew. The guys are really good about updating Facebook to let me know where they will be all week long. I take full advantage of that too...stalk much? Let's talk tacos! Bulgogi beef, teriyaki chicken, spicy pork, tempura fish, and tempura veggie. I have tried all but the veggie and that is only because I have a tremendously hard time ordering anything besides the beef because it is so freaking good! "Three beef tacos, no onion, add kimchi...oh, and an order of dumplings." BOOM! That's the order. The teriyaki chicken is always my back up when I don't get to the truck early enough for the beef. They fill their flour shells with rice (love it), plenty of meat, a couple of different sauces, and kimchi if you choose...you better (highly recommend). I'm not exactly sure what the sauces are, one of them is reminiscent of Sriracha, but they taste awesome together and on all of the tacos! The dumplings are a nice side piece to the tacos in case three tacos don't fill you up. There is something about the dipping sauce that makes me want to ask for a straw. Three tacos for $7 is a great deal, and an order of dumplings will only set you back $4...pretty, pretty cheap if you ask me! This truck holds a special place in my taco loving heart. So, go there...or don't so I don't have to wait in line or risk the chance of you taking the last of the Bulgogi! read more

My favorite!! The owner is fantastic, the portions are good, and they're a staple in the downtown area. The Bulgogi tacos and pan fried dumplings can't be beat. I've been known to stalk their Facebook and trek across downtown to find them- the food is THAT good. read more

Amazing Asian fusion. We ordered delivery amid the social distancing measures for the coronavirus pandemic, and everything turned out incredible. I was very pleased with the bulgogi taco - great flavor when topped with the kimchi. The dumplings were also a nice addition read more

I like this food truck. Many of the trucks are overpriced and underwhelming. I was really excited about the Food Truck Movement in Louisville a few years ago but now after trying all of them but one (WHERE are you Longshot??!!), I am not super impressed. I would go to this food truck if put up against many of the others in our area. I especially love the tempura fish tacos - they are my favorite. Note* You can have them add kimchi to any of your tacos free of charge. :) read more

I am glad I only know where this truck is one day a week. Otherwise I would drive far out of my way to eat these tacos every single day. They are amazing and delicious. My coworker talked them up to me and I have absolutely no regrets about trying them. I can not recommend their dumplings enough. I was a little disappointed by their teriyaki chicken tacos but their spicy pork is so good that it makes up for it. Also wait times can kind of be bad. Usually around lunch I have like a fifteen to twenty minute wait. But if you have time it is entirely worth it. read more

My favorite tacos EVER! I work on the East End, but I've been known to make special trips downtown just to hunt this truck down. I highly recommend the chicken, fish, and pork tacos, and the dumplings. The only downside is that, unless you work downtown, they can be hard to catch. I keep an eye on their Facebook events to find out where I can catch them on a weekend. read more

After a week of a couple food truck duds, I came across this gem on wheels. A look at the long line gave me conflicting feelings. I was excited because that meant the food was good! Then again, it was a wait....was it worth it? To answer simply...yes, yes it was. I ordered 2 beef tacos and a teri chicken one. Looking at their menu, I couldn't stop there. I just HAD to get their pan fried dumplings. Took it back to my desk and began tearing into it. The meat in both tacos were super moist and tender, making the bite into my taco smooth. The tacos came with rice, meat, cilantro, lime, sriracha, and what I assume is a spicy mayo. Upon request, you can also get a small side of kimchee...yes, please! Devine. Now, the dumplings. Growing up in Hawai'i, I had my fair share of asian dumplings. From gyoza to fried mondoo. The Traveling Kitchen's dumplings rank up there among the top. Their sauce is so good, that I wish there was more. It is a little pricey for tacos (my meal without a drink was $12) but I left completely full and satisfied. Definitely a good try if you are looking for Asian-Mexican fusion. read more

speedy, unique, delicious, something for everyone. I love the pork and fish. The dumplings beat anywhere accompanied with their dipping sauce and thinly sliced scallions! Chicken taco is nice too and offers a good bit of heat! read more
