    You really haven't experienced heaven in your mouth until you had one of these damn waffles! The BEST waffle I have ever had!!!! After walking in Central Park, There is a great food truck sitting there and tempting everyone to buy the most fattening delicious thing ever I got the "Elvis" and it was AMAZING! It had bacon, peanut butter, bananas, and powdered sugar for around 10$ and worth every single penny! My sister ordered "The turtle" and it has walnuts, powdered sugar, and chocolate. They were both AMAZING!!!! Definitely worth the price and the stop!

    On our hunt for the Met on our NYC vacation, we ran across the Wafels and Dinges cart. Cute! It was an unexpected surprise on a slightly chilly day as we journeyed to find the iconic museum. Hubby had "de Bom" while I had a waffle cone with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I also got a Belgian Hot Chocolate...best hot chocolate I've ever had! They serve it with a mini cookie to dip in your cocoa. I wish I could have sampled a few other items but I wanted to save my appetite for Joe's Shanghai for some soup dumplings after. But every sweet treat on the menu looked absolutely scrumptious! Great little unexpected treat to satisfy my sweet tooth on the walk through Central Park!

    Wafels & Dinges is a food stand/truck that specializes in Belgian waffles. I happened upon them near Midtown. If you spot them, you'll be in for a sweet treat. My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - It's a yellow food truck normally located in a public area. Honestly we were simply walking when we found them but you can follow them on twitter. I happen to love food trucks, so I also love these setups where you can walk up, place an order, & get some tasty grub. There were a number of chairs & tables around so eating was easy. 1 Star. Service - There was only man in the truck, but we fast & quick. Not much else can be said - our transaction to food time was no more than 5 minutes. 1 Star. Food - Of course we went with the WMD consisting of whipped cream, chocolate syrup, bananas, & strawberries. It was super cold that day so unfortunately we didn't get to experience the hot, soft wafel mixed with our dinges. Instead, it was a bit hard - but the fruit (also cold) did soften it up. In the future, I think I would rather order a wafel plain so that the flavor of the batter would stand out. In our WMD, the other toppings over powered it. Hey, we were ordering what looked good in the photos! Still a tasty treat, but $10+ for a WMD & bottled water. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Only if I happen upon another food truck. I won't actively seek one out via twitter, but if I spot a Wafel & Dinges cart I will surely line up. Not the best wafel I've had, but certainly the best from a food stand/truck. You won't be disappointed if you are lucky enough to hit one up. 1/2 Star. My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts): 1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm. 1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point. 2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food. 1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return. Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score.

    I randomly found the cart!!

    Most awesomest wafflest waffles ever!! I had bookmarked this cart before going to NYC, but when I saw that it was a cart I thought it was gonna be a moving food truck that I would never find. But walking out of Central Park on the way to the Apple store, lo and behold there it was right there!! When I passed by the cart and read the name, I squealed of excitement while the bf wondered what was wrong with me. He got the waffle ice cream sandwich with gingerbread waffle, or was it gingerbread ice cream?? I got the WMD waffle with unlimited dinges! I just asked the worker to make me something, whatever was the best combo. They were super nice by the way! He put spekuloos spread, strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate and powdered sugar. Bomb-diggity-bomb! The spekuloos spread is made of gingerbread I think. The texture is kind of like a runny peanut butter or almond butter. I think it would have been even more delicious with some bananas. I posted pictures of both items. A must try if you are in NY!

    Who doesn't love a good story about someone who quits a desk job to start a food truck business? Not just any food truck, a waffle truck. I mean... wafels. & the toppings are ... dinges. I don't know what makes a Belgian waffle Belgian, but I've heard that the liege wafel is the one to get. Tried the... Liege Wafel with Spekuloos Spread: The wafel was warm, soft, and chewy. I wasn't expecting to like it so much, but it was delicious. The first dinges is free. Each additional dinges is $1. Each wafel is about $6. It's a bit too pricey for me to snack on regularly, but great if I want to indulge myself.

    I mean, who can say anything bad about a waffle that is topped with bacon and syrup? I did remove one star because my friend and I waited 15-20 minutes for our order, and the girls on the truck seemed to be in disarray. Not sure if something happened to their computer system or what, but the ordering and giving out of orders seemed to be haphazard. Everyone has an off day. The waffle was cooked to perfection, and the bacon was thick and crispy, topped with syrup and powdered sugar for added sugar high. It was definitely enough for two people to split as a snack, which was what my friend and I did. Price was $8.50; that hurts though. Overall, great to treat yourself, but I don't think I would really chance the truck down.

    "de S'mores Wafels" with marshmallows, speculoos , and melted chocolate fudge and the "de bom" with classic vanilla ice cream, speculoos.
    Jasmine S.

    We had spoiled ourselves today with speculoos! Littlefoodie got the "de S'mores Wafels" with marshmallows, speculoos , and melted chocolate fudge. Bigfoodie got the "de bom" with classic vanilla ice cream, speculoos. We really had a sugary day It was amazing dessert to have as the fall leaves fall.

    WMD with everything but nutella, maple syrup, and butter.
    Cat N.

    I don't know how, but they forgot about my order, even though I was standing right there. The guys were really sorry about it though, and gave me a free scoop of ice cream. We made the mistake of ordering the WMD, with all of the "dinges" minus nutella, syrup, and butter. Even so, the waffle disintegrated into a soggy mess in the time it took us to dig through all of the toppings. What a yummy mess it was, though. I wish the waffle was bigger, especially for orders with more toppings, and to match the higher pricing. They have a daily trivia or trick to getting a free waffle, but make sure you check their twitter for the right one, else you'll end up doing the wrong thing, like the poor guy that salsa-ed in the middle of Columbus Circle, only to find out that was the wrong challenge.

    Popular and nice dessert or snack while relaxing at Bryant park. There many made pre-selected combinations or you can choose your own toppings to put on. They staffs are nice. They have beverages like like coffee or lemonade as well but I personally suggest only getting the waffles and drinks somewhere else. A little pricey but you can't expect cheap in NY. The waffles are good. Goes well with the toppings. It's hard so little difficult to eat with plastic utensils.

    De Turtle Wafle with banana $10
    Sheril S.

    There is no way you can pass by and not be drawn by the aroma of fresh wafels. It is a must try! Especially their rich Belgian hot cocoa!

    I asked for extra Nutella
    Nicole N.

    One of my all time favorites: the Wafel with vanilla ice cream and Nutella (only if my wafel is freshly made). Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside is what keeps me coming back for this dessert.

    Nice People

    Best belgian waffle I've had hands down. The waffle is served hot and crispy but so satisfyingly dense.Try it simple with dulce de leche, it's my favorite! I know I'll be making a stop here next time I visit NYC!

    Soft & Chewy w/ honey, strawberries, and powdered sugar
    Chris C.

    Crack-On-Wheels I've never been so happy to see a vehicle in my life. This truck is one of the best hidden gems I've ever discovered. It literally is the best waffle in the World. Props to whoever thought of this....hopefully they make a S'MOREZ truck next!! I got the soft and chewy w/ peanut butter, nuts, chocolate drizzle, and powdered sugar, it was phenomenal to say the least, can't wait to go back and try the light and flaky. PS The staff is hilarious as well.

The chicken was very tender, well prepared, and so were the veggies. I think it has stiff competition by way of Lou Yau Kee but is definitely up there as top 5 southeast chicken rices in the city! I would def come back here and what's great is that you can feel healthy bc it's steamed/poached chicken, rice and veggies :) It's inside Urban Hawker, so you can get a variety of other things to go with your meal - might I recommend Kopi (malaysian coffee) at the nearby stand? The flavors were bold, authentic, and the chicken skin was silky smooth. The cucumbers had a nice crunch and the veggies as well. They give you two sauces, one of them is spicy and might be hotter than you expect so try it first.

The vendors represent essential cuisines like Malay, Peranakan, Chinese, Indian, Southeast Asian, and Asian-style Western favorites. The first time I went to Urban Hawker was in December 2022, so I was very happy to be back again. I went to Hainan Jones for the Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice. The menu offers two chicken rice sets: poached or roasted Hainanese Chicken Rice, Chicken Porridge, or a salad. Hainanese Chicken Rice is considered one of Singapore's most celebrated local dishes and is the star at Hainan Jones. I ordered the Signature Poached Chicken Rice Set ($19). The rice set is served with very fragrant chicken rice and broth accompanied by oyster vegetables with fried shallots, cucumbers, a chili sauce, and dark soy sauce. It didn't take very long for the order to be ready. The poached chicken was very smooth, tender, and tasty. I enjoyed the flavor of the chicken by itself and dipping it in the dark soy sauce. It was a good portion and very filling. My husband got the roasted chicken and he enjoyed it. There are plenty of tables for seating at Urban Hawker. After eating, I bought the tray to the trash area and there were staff taking the tray and cleaning tables. I'm looking forward to the next time I can visit Urban Hawker.

I do think they do as good of a job managing it as possible, but it is still quite the long line.

Overall, the lamb and chicken were extremely tender and flavorful. The sauce and rice were great as well, complementing them perfectly. The service is very efficient, and they do have a few cards set up to maximize the efficiency. It was great, and I'd say it's worth trying if the line is short!

Ask for it on the side if you don't want it to get soggy. If I'm feeling extra big back I throw some falafel on that shi too. If you wanna skip the line, just order on Grubhub.

Fried rice is made to order and it's actually decent. Food comes out piping hot. The fish is covered with a thick breading that reminds me of the frozen breaded tilapia from Trader Joe. It's a big serving (ended up with enough left over for a second meal) but you'll have to work thru that breading. On its own it has pretty much no flavor but it comes with a black pepper sauce that you'll need. The sauce is weirdly thick but along with the thick breading the fish will stay crispy.
