So, I went straight for the halal cart right in front of the 34th Street Penn. Station. Ordered a chicken over rice ($9). My total came out to be $10.16 because I'd paid with debit. Chicken with Rice came with a fresh salad that had chopped red peppers, green olives, tomatoes, onions, lettuce. Service was very fast and food was made fresh on the spot. Accepted cash or debit/credit card (with a $7 minimum). Gobbled it all right away after snapping few food pics. Would probably go back next time if I'm ever in the area again.

At the truck, I placed my order, and after a fairly short wait, scored a trio of tacos (for only $7[2]): namely, one spicy pork (#2 on the menu), one ginger chicken (#3), and one spicy chicken (#4). None of the tacos struck me as spicy, but their contents tickled my tummy terribly. In a good way. My only qualm? The tortillas didn't strike me as particularly savory. But don't worry Big D, I'll be back. [1] Quit that snickering, I already made those jokes, and more. And yes, I put them in my mouth.

Big D's generic name gave no indication that their menu comprised of Vietnamese food, so I was pleasantly surprised when I took a peak at what they had and saw Viet food on it, which I was really looking forward to. There were only a handful of items on the menu, so I went with the very 1st one -- Vietnamese Roasted Chicken with the Dirty Fried Rice. I took the order back to my work desk nearby and it looked real promising when I opened the box, but that's where my anticipation stopped. In the box, there were 2 pieces of chicken thighs on top of some fried rice, radish and cucumbers with a side of sweet chili sauce. First, the bad.The fried rice was real disappointing as it was cold and not cooked thoroughly. It was chewy and not soft like regular rice. On top of it, there wasn't much good flavor to it either. It tasted like it was just drowned in some soy sauce and that's about it. THANKFULLY, the chicken thighs came to its rescue and fared much better in my opinion. They were tender and had some decent flavor to it. There was some charring on the outside of the chicken too, but I wasn't sure if that was intended or not since it was supposed to be ROASTED. I really wanted to like this new truck as the items seemed promising. The good news is that I only tried 1 item and there are a few more to try, so I definitely will try to give this truck a fair shake by giving them a 2nd try. Not giving up just yet!

I've tried all those carts exactly once; one and done as they say. I always get the combo (gyro (beef & lamb mix) and chicken) with rice and salad, and it is always superb. He occasionally has a brown rice that is spicy, so always ask if he has it if spice is your thing, and you might get lucky! Seriously though, I've worked in Manhattan since '92, and this truck is special. The food is fantastic and flavorful and well worth the reasonable cost.

If you love spicy food, you definitely be disappointed here. 50 cents extra if you want to add pita. $5 for the chicken over rice platter. $1 for a bottle of water or soda.

Tonight I just wanted a snack, and I have been meaning to try their samosas. The side of the truck says 2 samosas = $3. I asked for one samosa and a masala chai. He gave me the chai and TWO samosas (was it the cute face or the fact that it was 5:15 pm?). But he still only charged me $3. He also gave me sugar for the tea and a packet of chutney. The chai is warm and spicy, but more watery than milky. On its own, its a 2 star cup of tea. The samosas are a good size, about tennis ball sized, with a good shell and fried to crispy perfection. The inside contents of the vegetable samosa are 99% potato. They're not spicy (in the capsaicin way) but have a lot of spices in them, like fenugreek, cumin, etc. I wasn't impressed by the filling (where are the peas, onions, carrots?) but for the price and size they still make the perfect snack. So I'll round out this newcomer at 3 stars. I'll let you know if I try any of their lunches sometime soon!
