    We got Chicken shawarma.The food itself was good and flavorful but the only thing I did not like there was barely any chicken I'm not sure if that's because we went late by closing time or they usually put that much chicken? The shawarma itself was big and it came with a special garlic sauce which made it even taste a lot better. We also got Chapal(Yogurt Drink) it was good but needed little more flavor or little more salt in it but overall it was really good with shawarma.

    I LOVE Shawarma here. I came from a city where everyone loves shawarma and plov. I was so excited when finally this place got opened! It is delicious! I tried chicken shawarma, they have King size too (it is pretty big portion!). The prices are pretty average. I paid for my order $15.95 + tax. I chose to-go option and received really nice bag for my order! Staff is super friendly. You can pay cash. Foodtruck is located next to the gas station, so it can get pretty busy there. There is a restroom from the gas station nearby. There is even the area under the tent if you prefer dine-in option. Street Parking is available nearby, there is a small parking lot behind gas station as well.

    All you need is plov, babeee! That's what we say in my family, anyway. Vostok is that elusive foodie find, a cute aesthetic food truck in a gas station with outrageously delish homemade central Asian food, lovingly prepared from the best ingredients. Plov had the perfect savory taste of cumin seasoned beef and glossy rice and carrots. It came with a nice refreshing tomato onion salad. I couldn't get enough of the rice in this dish. The chicken shawarma wrap was SO GOOD. The sauces, tangy pickle, cabbage, tomato, chicken, all melting inside a crackling crispy toasted lavash crunchwrap. Oh my. I had the apple compote juice special. Great with the food, adding a fruity element, but not too sweet. The service was awesome; this clearly a labor of love. The picnic area was clean and comfortable. They accept credit card and call your name when it's ready.

    Beef Shwarma - and yes - it's much bigger (longer) than you think.

    The taste of the beef shawarma was really good, especially with the French fries inside. It was also a pretty big portion too as it ended up being much bigger than what I thought. Great service, cool people, clean and nice looking truck. It's located right next to gas station

    Salad comes with plov

    Had a great experience at Vostok Gyro. We ordered the chicken shawarma, lagman, and plov, everything was delicious. The chicken shawarma was juicy, flavorful, and a great portion size. The garlic sauce served on the side was especially tasty and paired perfectly with it. The lagman had a rich, fragrant broth and was very well seasoned. The plov was also excellent, simple, comforting, and full of flavor. Definitely coming back!

    Beef shawarma.

    We finally have some of the best Kyrgyz food in Bay Area. Have tried their beef shawarma and it was as good if not better than in Bishkek. Next on my menu to try is their lagman.

It was pretty calm during the day and didn't seem to get a crazy amount of foot traffic, which I actually enjoyed because we were able to sit down, relax, eat, and enjoy the atmosphere without it feeling crowded. Between our food and drinks we spent around $46, so I would say it's moderately pricey, but everything we had was good. I had a birria taco from Mi Lindo Apatzingán, my husband got four tacos, and we also got rice and beans that we really enjoyed. Our food came out pretty quickly, definitely in less than 10 minutes. We also got sour apple drinks from Las Cherry's. The drinks took a little longer, over 10 minutes, but there was only one girl working at the time, so it was completely understandable. The drinks were refreshing and I definitely want to come back and try more of what Las Cherry's has to offer. I really like the whole concept here because there are so many different food trucks in one place. There's plenty of covered outdoor seating, TVs to watch while you eat, and colorful decorations that make it a fun but still calm and chill place to hang out. Even with some of the trucks being closed, there were still plenty of options. I would definitely come back, especially to try more from Las Cherry's and the potato food truck that caught my eye!

    Final Thoughts: 4.33/5…read more They were our caterer for a work party. This is a food truck and they seem to have everything ready to be served to us. Asian fusion foods are typically my go-to choice and so I was very excited that they were providing us food today. Food: Garlic Fried Chicken Bowl: 4.3/5 The sauce on this is divine with the chicken. It's like an unagi sauce with garlic in it. It has some saltiness, sweetness, and that umami flavor. Garlic taste and scent is present, but not too overpowering, which I really enjoyed. That flavor is great, but some places really overdo it for me. Just a personal preference though. For the chicken itself, it's very tender and juicy on the inside and still has some of that nice crunch on the outside. Perhaps this is because the cut of meat is the chicken thigh. It's not super crispy because I don't believe this is being fried to order for us. Seems to be food held in a warmer until its ordered. Kimchi was the side that they had provided with this dish and I am here for that. Some people aren't the biggest fan of this and I saw that from the looks my coworkers gave it. Personally, very much enjoyed it though. That sourness and spice from the kimchi just balances out this bowl really well. The veggies are nice and crispy. Gives it that freshness. Also, very slight detail and addition, but I always enjoy the sesame seeds and furikake sprinkle as a garnish. There's a nice nuttiness to it that they provide as a simple garnish. Spicy Tuna Poké: 4.0/5 This item was alright. The flavor was also really good, but I did get tired of eating just one type of poke protein. Typically when I go to get poke, it's 2 to 3 scoops of different proteins with various sauces to change up the flavor. I did get tired of this one after a few bites. The flavor of this item was very good though. There's a nice kick from it and the flavor tastes like a mix of kewpie mayo, soy sauce, sriracha, and sugar. Very simple, but you can't go wrong with those flavors. For the side, they added seaweed salad. Again, not your average side dish. Personally, I enjoyed it, but it might not be a common or familiar side dish for other individuals. It has a nice sweetness and nuttiness to it. For texture, there's a nice bite to it, which is ncie since the tuna is very soft and doesn't contribute much to the texture component. Menu: Small Their menu seems quite limited, but again, that is normal for a food truck, I believe. The items they provide do it just fine for me. I appreciate that they also have an option for the vegetarians. The menu we were provided was limited to 4 items, which is fine since the scale of this party wasn't anything too wild and we were able to satisfy everyone with what they provided. --------- Quality: Alright The quality of the food seems OK. It came out within a few minutes for us and I don't think it takes just a few minutes to fry that piece of chicken. I could be wrong though, so no one quote me on that. Just an observation. Not the highest expectations because their limited to the space and area in general. The product they provide is very good though. Overall, for something that has raw seafood in it, it seemed quite fresh and tasty. The items aren't made to order either and it's more assemble and serve to order, but again, they seem to be making it work with the product that they are selling. Price: Estimated Because this was a catering event, I am actually unaware of how much my administrator paid for the food. What I know is that she paid for a certain amount of bowls. From the looks of this item though, I want to estimate the price of each bowl being around $16 to $20 depending on the food item provided. Seems quite average for a bowl of food these days. Service: Quick and fast Because most of the food is already prepared and ready, the interaction with them itself is very limited. They took our order and provided us with the food. Nothing too significant to note and that is to be expected with the food truck. They were very sweet though and explained the menu items to be when I had a question. Ambiance: Simple and cute food truck The design on their food truck is so cute. The riceball is my favorite because it has this very cute face and just looks darling to me. The outside has a simple design with the name and logo on top and then perhaps some of the food items they provide written on the bottom section of the truck. Doesn't seem like anything too fancy, but simplicity is best for me. Location/Parking: Wherever they travel and navigate to Because they're a food truck, they can drive to you, which is really convenient. On Yelp, it states that their located on 36 Commercial Street in downtown, which might be where their truck is serving most of the time. Again, it is a food truck though, so they have the ability to drive to you and travel around to their customers, which is quite convenient is reaching a broader group of people.

    Hands down my new favorite food truck. The portions are generous, the customer service is…read moretop-notch, and the Mac salad is perfection. Fast, friendly, and consistently great. 5 stars!

    This was my very first visit to El Halal Mexican Restaurant in the heart of downtown Willow Glen,…read moreand I've been wanting to stop by for a while. I finally decided to give it a try after hearing about the restaurant from food reviewer Dave fiore text. As someone who absolutely loves tacos and is always on the hunt for great local taco spots, I was excited to see how this place compared to some of my favorites. I ordered four different tacos, and overall, they were pretty good. They weren't bad by any means, but they also didn't quite blow me away. The meat was cooked well, the tortillas were fresh, and the tacos had good flavor. The salsa was decent too, although I personally prefer something with a little more kick. Everyone has different tastes, so this is just my opinion. One thing I really appreciated was how clean and organized the restaurant was. You can tell they take pride in keeping the dining area nice and welcoming. The staff was friendly, and my food came out quickly. It's always a good sign when a restaurant pays attention to both cleanliness and customer service. I've eaten at a lot of taco places throughout the Bay Area, so I naturally compare every new place to some of my favorites. While El Halal Mexican Restaurant didn't make the top of my list, I still had a good experience and I'm glad I finally gave it a shot. Not every restaurant has to be your favorite to be worth visiting. I also like supporting family-owned businesses because I know how much hard work goes into running a local restaurant. They deserve credit for creating a clean, welcoming place and serving quality food. Will I come back? Maybe. If I do, I'd probably try something different on the menu instead of the tacos. Sometimes a restaurant's best dish isn't the first thing you order, and I'd be interested in seeing what else they have to offer. Overall, I'd give El Halal Mexican Restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good experience, I'm happy I finally got to try it, and if you're in the Willow Glen area, it's worth stopping by and deciding for yourself.

They accept cards which is a huge plus! We ordered no carne (vegetarian) burrito, a carne asada nachos and a regular chicken burrito for Gavin. Spicy salsa had a little heat, very good and not too acidic. My burrito was delicious. I am leaning more towards a vegetarian diet since my grandma was admitted to the hospital. It's a Buddhist thing. Been coming to the hospital everyday since last Tuesday. I am grateful that there are options to eat other than hospital food. I have never been to the cafeteria, so I cannot compare but who can turn down good food from a food truck? I love the service!

First off, parking was free and they have an open lot. We were surprised by the ambiance. It felt like a cute dhaba vibe with tables, chairs and string lights. We got dahi puri, sev puri, vada pav, poha. The chaats came out first. Both of them were delicious. The spice level was pretty high so if you can't handle spice, something to communicate to them while placing the order. The vada pav was fresh and tasty. It came with tamarind and green chutney. We liked the chaats so much that we also got the samosa chaat. The portion size was good and it was packed with flavor. Lastly, we got poha. It tasted authentic and the poha was soft and seasoned well. Overall, we had a great experience and I highly recommend checking out this food truck. You won't be disappointed!

The consistency across such a varied menu really says something about how well-run this truck is. If you're craving real Mumbai street food in the South Bay, stop scrolling and just go. I'll be back again soon to keep working through the rest of the menu!

Different food trucks line up the drop-off area, convenient for staff and visitors to fuel up. It's never fun to be at the hospital. The hospital displays the QR code so you can see which trucks will be there, so you can plan ahead.

    The ambiance inside was about a 3/5. It felt a little dirty, and the windows could definitely use a…read moregood cleaning. The outdoor seating, though, was really nice. We ordered the Texas chicken sandwich and chicken strips. Portions were generous, and the sandwich was super tasty. The strips were fresh and flavorful, but be careful with the spice levels! We ordered level 1 and it was flaming hot. Even level 0 has a kick, so I'd recommend going one level lower than you normally would. The curly fries were also great. Overall, a solid 4/5. The only star off was for the spice-level calibration. Great food and portions, and we'll definitely be back!

    The food and service here never disappoint. I've been a frequent customer since 2009, and was…read morehooked at first bite with their beef kebab sandwich. Every dish is seasoned perfectly and not overly salted. I've tried just about everything on the menu and the meat is always tender. Vegetables here are top quality as well, which compliments the dishes nicely. And the green yogurt sauce is spicy! In a good way. I usually order an extra with the biryani plates, because *some* is just never enough. Their mango lassi is super mango-ey. I don't know what kind of mangoes go into this drink, but it has the most sweet, tart, and ripe fruitiness (emphasis on fruitiness), and the yogurt in it adds good balance. Perfect drink. There is a good variety of items to choose from, so I don't get bored eating here. You can tell everything is cooked fresh on a daily basis as well. Don't sleep on the desserts either. After trying baklava at many restaurants around San Jose, I regard Gulzaar Halaal's as my personal favorite. Crispy layers, firm yet chewy bottom, and never stale. Perfect balance of sweet, nutty and spiced. My favorite dessert though has to be Kanafeh. Soft-ish, melty sweet cheese (with rose water, I think?). Ask for it warmed. I've always felt relaxed when eating in the restaurant. Tables are frequently cleaned. The owner is very attentive, making sure customers are happy with everything. Their interactions with people are always very respectful and kind. Last but not least, the bathroom is clean, neat and tidy.
