I feel like this place is good, but the white sauce is what makes it. Would I wait another 50 minutes in line, again? Heck to the no - but 1 time? Yes, just to say I tried it. I came in line around 9:45pm and waited approx. 50 minutes before being served. the line just grows and grows.... it is crazy busy! I don't get the line concept here. Because while I was in a long line, when I get to the front, there's another line to the left of the truck... and people seem to be getting their food faster, and the line is like 2x shorter. So that's kind of confusing. Ambience in line and ordering = chaotic. The line is quick in terms of when it is your turn, KNOW what you want. Because you have like 5 seconds to order and that's it. I ordered the special (the spicy rice, lamb and chicken combo, extra white sauce, 3 squirts of hot sauce, and a topped with fries). $13 in total. I would like to say, advice to folks to know what you want before you come. I did not look at menu options beforehand and I did fairly little research so I honestly did not know what to order, just looked at some google reviews and pictures. That is going to help you, in case you do not want the typical lamb and chicken combo. To the food - 1st - they don't care how much hot sauce you want. they're making these bowls in the masses and are just giving you a single squirt so they can make 20 bowls all at the same time. I was hoping for more spice in what I ordered, but it was very slightly spicy. I'm not sure if they let you serve yourself to more, but I'd definitely want more of the hot sauce. 2nd - I didn't taste any spice in the spicy rice. I'm not sure if, again, due to the fast production that it all just taste like regular rice? but didn't see what the hype was there. 3rd - I genuinely think the white sauce is what brings it all together. The chicken was OK to me. I didn't think it was anything special, and would give it a 3 out of 5. texture was OK, flavor was OK... the lamb definitely stole the show. The lamb was absolutely flavorful and full of delicious spices. This reminded me of what I've had in Dubai. Very rich in flavor and just the perfect amount of spices. Overall, I think if you wait for your food to cool down like 20 minutes, you'll get to taste the flavors more. Everything hot together, for me, just didn't allow me to really absorb all the food. But the rice was your average rice. Pita was deliciously soft and pillowy which complemented the white sauce. Chicken was ok. had an OK texture; nothing life changing. lamb was fantastic, and fries were just fries (nothing memorable). For a NYC experience, a 1-time, 50 minute wait is acceptable. And, for $13, that's pretty cheap for the amount of food you get. I would eat it again if the line was 5 minutes. Otherwise, I'm positive you will find similar food/better food elsewhere.

Sandwich was good and loved the price. They also have other fried food. So if you are on a diet. There is nothing here for you. Lol A chimi is a Dominican hamburger. I had the chicken hubby had the steak. It's filled with sautéed cabbage and has a ketchup mayo sauce. Pair that with a nice cold Chinola ( passion fruit) and it's great. I like the chicken the best. It's a messy sandwich so ask for a lot of napkins. I've also had the carne Frita (fries pieces of meat) and longaniza (pork sausage) both yum.

All I'm rating is the food. I give it 4 stars. I ordered via Uber Eats. Since it wasn't a winter…read moreday, the food was warm when it was delivered. I ordered two birria tacos ($5 each) and consomme ($5). I immediately squeezed the lime over the tacos and ate them. the tacos which were finger licking good. I decided to eat the consumme the next day so I stored it in the fridge. the cold consomme becomes a block of jello. I flipped it into a pot and warmed it up. It was a beefy broth with 2 slivers of beef. I'd skip the consomme next time.

Found myself in Midtown West around 11pm with nothing open and a real craving, and Shawarma Bay…read morecame through. Half the spots nearby had already shut down or had lines I wasn't about to stand in, and this truck was right there, lit up and moving fast. Got the two-meat combo over rice. The guys inside don't waste time. I had my plate in a few minutes even with a couple people ahead of me. Chicken and beef both came out hot, and the rice underneath was fresh and fluffy. Ask for the extra spicy red if you want to suffer a little. Portions are big for the price. I walked away full and happy. Fries are the one thing I'd skip (they go soft quick), but with the meat and sauces all over the plate I didn't care. If you're out late and everything else is closed, this is the move. They open at 7:30 and stay open well into the night, which is exactly when you want them. I'll be back the next time I'm wandering around starving after midnight.

Great white sauce and hot sauce with a wonderful fresh salad that is full of ingredients. Love how the add the extra spice on top to top it off. Friendly and good service. I'd definitely come back.

The steak is done perfectly at medium rare that you don't need any sauce and the fries are a nice crispy and golden brown. The steak basil is also really good if you want some sauce and don't want the hassle of cutting your steak. One of my favorite parts about this food truck is that I believe it is run by 2 brothers and the front guy is so nice. You can tell they're great people. They're pretty busy around noon, but I'm always able to get my lunch within 15 minutes. They are cash only, but they do also take venmo or zelle. I only wish they had better utensils because it is difficult to cut the steak with the flexible white plastic knifes.

The Best Food Truck in NYC -- Period…read more I've eaten at countless restaurants in New York City, but nothing -- and I mean nothing -- comes close to Steak Freak, the little black food truck parked on the corner of 6th Avenue and West 50th Street. I stumbled upon it around lunchtime and saw a long line stretching down the block. Normally, that would be a deterrent -- but I quickly realized everyone was there for a reason. The line moves surprisingly fast (these guys have it down to a science), and it's absolutely worth the wait. I ordered the Steak Basil on Rice and the Kimchi Sesame Steak on Rice, and both dishes were mind-blowingly good. The steak was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and the sauces had that perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and umami that makes you close your eyes after every bite. The rice was fluffy and soaked up every drop of flavor. You can tell Dorjee, the owner, takes real pride in what he serves. He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet -- greeting regulars by name, joking with the crowd, and hustling behind the grill like a pro. Pro tip: Get there early. They sell out by 2 PM every single day, and once the steak is gone, it's gone.

I discovered that a Bangladesh street food called fushka is very popular, so decided to try for my first time. Tong is highly rated and their menu is simple. I ordered the Doi Fuchka ($7), which comes as crispy, hollow puri shells stuffed with a savory mashed potato and chickpea mixture. The difference in the doi is that it is topped with a yogurt to balance the spice for a creamier texture. I liked this a lot, especially with the tamarind sauce too (though this got a bit messy). This is nothing like I've ever tasted with so many different textures going on. It hits you with spicy, sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy, chewy and everything all at once. It comes with 8 pieces, which is perfect to share with 2-3 people. Definitely something to check out!

The fuchka was the main event; I liked the original a bit more than the yogurt variety (doi fuchka); the latter was sweet and a little more creamy, while the original had a nice spice and crisp that stood out.
