    Salmon Poke Bowl
    Deya M.

    Sushi from a truck isn't a comon concept, but one that I can definitely get used to. This truck was down the street from where I was located so I thought, why not just give it a try! I'm so glad I did. I was looking for a quick dinner option so I walked up and placed the order for a poke bowl. It was quickly assembled and handed back to me so I could transport it back to eat. I got a salmon poke bowl which consisted of edamame, seaweed salad, salmon, mango, peppers, avacado, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce and rice. Everything tasted very delicious and fresh. I appreciated that there were no upcharged for the avacado or seaweed salad. I got the traditional poke dressing on the side, which was also nice and refreshing. I'd love to come back to try some of their more traditional sushi next!

    WOW! Just ordered for delivery for the first time and I officially have found my sushi spot in the area. The fish is so fresh. The spicy crunchy tuna roll is next level. Definitely worth ordering from!

    Sweet Potato Roll

    I'm not going to lie, when I first heard about this I was a bit skeptical. Sushi from a food truck? How does that work? The ratings were through the roof though so we decided to give it a shot. The price point is a bit higher than your standard/regular tier sushi so be mindful of that. We wanted to try a bunch of things and of course, they thought we ordered for way more than 2 people as a result! We ended up trying the following rolls: sweet potato, salmon avocado, spicy crunchy salmon, spicy crunchy tuna avocado, a special scallop roll and the Peace special roll. We also got the tuna bomb appetizer to try! For the most part, the rolls traveled pretty well. The appetizer did look a little bit like a blob but it was a very tasty blob! Every bite was very flavorful and the avocado at the bottom worked well with the tuna and the texture of the tobiko on top! Sweet potato rolls were sort of a random find that I came across after eating sushi with vegetarian friends. When made well, they're delicious! The portion size of Wisp sweet potato rolls was quite generous but I prefer when the sweet potato is fried and has the crispiness from tempura and this wasn't that type of roll. The other regular rolls we got were great. The fish was fresh and I was a big fan of the crunchy texture of the spicy salmon and spicy tuna avocado. The special scallop roll was very focused on the scallop and you could taste the slight popping of tobiko since it was layered on the outside. A very clean and minimalist take on scallops. The last special roll was my least favorite but that was because I wasn't a fan of one of the types of fish inside the roll. It tasted a bit fishy to me and didn't agree with me. However, my partner loved it. My true rating would probably be more like a 4.5 since it wasn't perfect but I rounded up because the overall quality was very solid and noticeably different from other sushi spots. They had a unique bonus as well with some of their other items (appetizer and special rolls) which was a plus. We'd definitely order again andare excited to try more of their items in the future!

    Wow wow. Auper amazed by the great food and quality of the sushi. We all loved it. There are so many to choose from and I am starting to believe that all of them are good! Service is super friendly and pretty fast! Love love

    If you're thinking "I don't know if I'd trust sushi from a food truck"... remove that thought from your head immediately because this was some of the freshest fish I've had. Hands down this is the best sushi in Jersey city and even if I didn't live here I'd travel for it. It has replaced all of my favorite sushi spots in NJ in terms of ranking. The only thing I will say is that if you're expecting a thin/small piece of fish on your nigiri it is quite a thick piece so I didn't enjoy that so much. But I'm particular when it comes to nigiri. Nonetheless the fish was great just too thick for me. My favorite was the X roll - it had such an interesting flavor. Definitely recommend!! The total for all of this food was $78.

    This is definitely the best sushi in Jersey City. No contest. Don't be put off by it being from a food truck, it's great

    Best sushi around, hands down. So glad they brought the truck back and continue to serve delicious nigiri. Generous portion sizes of fresh fish. Always just the right amount of wasabi. My husband loves the rolls. Guys are great who work there. Whenever they are in the area we have to treat friends to sushi by Wisp.

    The most amazing sushi in Jersey City. Don't be scared that it's from a truck. It's superior to any restaurant here.

    I love Wisp Express! Whenever I see their truck close to my house, I try to go and get fresh sushi from them!! It's so good!! Favorites include Otoro, Yellowtail, Scallop, Salmon, & White Tuna! I've also tried their Tuna Bomb and their Salmon Lover's roll, both are flavor bombs!! Definitely check them out if you see their truck out and about. You won't be disappointed if you love fresh fish.

    My favorite sushi - enough said. The quality is amazing. The boys know me and are kind to me. Service is amazing! The truck is clean. They are honest and open when they are open and/or closed for random reasons. Go get your sushi now!

    So happy with this edition to Jersey City! Sushi!!! From a food truck no less! The food here is absolutely spectacular and well priced given the quality. The staff members are so kind also! Definitely recommend this spot if you can try their food. The poke bowl was SO fresh and tasted light and amazing and the roll I got was spectacular too. All around a solid place!

    Fatty Toro sushi, Uni Sushi, Hudson Roll, Wisp Roll

    You need to eat at Wisp Express. For fast sushi, large sushi portions, and delicious rolls, Wisp beats all the fast casual places in Jersey City hands down. Their prices are great as well for the amount of food that you receive. You can't compare Wisp to Domodomo or Sushi by Bou because those places do not provide the same offerings. My favorites are the fatty toro sushi and the uni sushi (both are specials so look on instagram for when they have them available). The fatty toro is tender and the uni is sweet and not briney tasting. The Hudson Roll is my favorite roll. I'm fortunate to have them close to me on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Follow them on Instagram (@wispexpress) to see where they are each day of the week and their business hours. The guys are super friendly and great people all around.

    Went out for a walk along the river and grabbed some sushi for lunch. It's a nice option from the regular halal trucks if you're in the mood for something else. The staff was very friendly. There's a variety of cooked foods (e.g. teriyaki, soba) as well as sushi options. Convenient meal option if you're out and about want to grab something quick.

    Parked on Sussex!

I was pleasantly surprised. I can't speak to their other food but definitely at least try the ropa vieja. If I have any of their other dishes or sandwiches, I will write an update.

The chicken was kind of bland, which is surprising since garlic normally has a pretty strong flavor. The platters all come with a side of rice, beans, and sweet plantains. The plantains were unfortunately, kind of burnt and the beans were also pretty flavorless. Cuban food should be fun and exciting and full of flavor! Sorry Bongo Bros, but you were a disappointment :(. I actually heard of this place through foodtoeat.com if anyone wants to check it out. There are a lot of other cool street vendors on the site. I like experimenting with food carts so it's pretty useful for that.

A. suggested Mexican food, and I'm kind of snobby and begrudging about getting Mexican food in NYC since I always go back to Houston and gorge. But I relented and we got the whole haul: - al pastor - carnitas - alambre (de chorizo) - chorizo - tinga (chicken) - enchilada (spicy pork) The guy looked at me funny because I wanted a chorizo y huevo taco (they make it in torta form), but I mean, Texas is the land of breakfast tacos so I wanted to try it. We ended up getting a normal one, but I'm working on charming them into making breakfast tacos for me. They were kind enough to speak to me all in Spanish. Necesito practicar. Everything was great. My favorite was the al pastor. The chorizo was a little more dry and crumbly than I'm used to, but it was delicious (and less greasy). Double-corn-tortilla for every taco, like it should be.

    New York City isn't exactly well-known for its barbecue. Meanwhile, the Katchkie Truck isn't…read moreexactly well-known, period. But don't be expecting some sarcastic-ass review that tells you just how terrible this joint is so I can have it all to myself. So, let's be clear - this place is good. And I sincerely want you to stay far, far away. That being said, this truck's not found at different locations on different days of the week, tracked down by Twitter-savvy foodies. No, it's tucked itself away in a parking lot off Spring Street between Hudson and Varick (ridiculously referred to as the Hudson Square Urban Courtyard on the website), mostly hidden from pedestrian peripheral vision unless being specifically sought out (something we both now know you wouldn't dare). And, to be honest, its virtual non-existence on food truck blogs doesn't make it any more exclusive or underground or cooler than its nomadic brethren. However, (just when you were wondering when the hell we were going to get to the barbecue bit) it does so happen to make a super-addicting, super-satisfying, super-delicious BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich. And I'm super-serious. On any given workday, I know that this tremendous lunch option (packaged at $10 with a side and Strawberry Lemonade) is available to me, further evidenced by the free sandwich that awaits me on my next visit from my five-time punched Katchie Card kept in my wallet. Served on a Martin's potato roll and with a BBQ sauce that sits only a notch or two thicker than the vinegar-thin finish of a Carolina variety, this sandwich only gets better with a melted slice of New York State Cheddar. I gotta say, I was certainly skeptical of cheese on pulled poultry at first, but after giving it a go, it's got my blessing. Yet if chicken just ain't your thing, the Katchkie Farm Veggie Burger is a fantastic alternative, which, mind you, you won't hear me say about veggie burgers all too often. And I really don't know what type of vegetables they mash up and destroy in order to form this patty, but the end result is something decidedly not cardboard-like. Joined by a thick tomato slice, their homemade tomato jam, and their homemade chive roll, and we've got a pretty strong back-up plan put into place. Their sides can either be a little too stingy (a small helping of their sounds-better-than-it-really-is Potato Salad with Eggs and Dill) or a little too simple (the just-plain-boring Heirloom Tomato and Cucumber Salad). And while I personally enjoy the aforementioned Strawberry Lemonade, I recognize it might be a little too sweet for some. The Katchkie Truck is part of the Great Performances catering company, which seems like quite the classy operation with the high-quality, farm-fresh hook-up just two hours north of the city. They also have occasional specials, where I've heard rumors of a Duck Confit Quesadilla. The two-man crew working the [im]mobile kitchen are a friendly bunch, but the service can be on the slow side. The low count of in-the-know customers helps out in spades here as this handful of people in line seems to be just the speed for the staff. Naturally, if there is a spike in numbers, I'm gonna find out. Seriously, I'm here pretty much every week. And you can be sure I'll be the creep judging you from across the lot, staring you down uncomfortably with eyes that scold you for not heeding my warning, complete with a BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich hanging out my mouth. That's just how I roll, sucka.

Not knowing how many options we would have elsewhere on the island on our first trip, we jumped on the opportunity to grab some lunch and a cool drink.

There were limited items on the menu, 2 small salads, 2 sandwiches, and hot dogs, along with some chips, cookies, and drinks. We opted to try the chicken and veggie sandwiches and yum, did they hit the spot. Everything was fresh as can be and the gentleman offered to toast the sandwiches for us. The charred chicken sandwich was served on pretzel bun with provolone cheese, BBQ sauce, and a summer slaw, while the veggie sandwich was wheat bread with summer squash, eggplant, radish, and homemade pesto. I also tried the blackberry lemonade which was fresh and tasty but did not have a ton of flavor (definitely made from scratch and no sugar added) so might not be for everyone. Will definitely eat here again if we see the bright green truck around the city!
