Their not much different from each other, but its there. That aside, in my opinion, what makes a good street vendor is him/her ability to keep the customer coming back. There, it's does this like second nature. After going there a few times, it kinda felt like the cheers of BBQ carts. He seems to know a lot of the locals, both american and chinese and is not above starting a little chat and offering a smoke. At night, there will be some kiddy stools mysteriously lying around the sidewalk and most of all, the guy is clean. Although a little dirt dosen't hurt you, it has made me think twice when I see year old grease built up in the grills of some vendors.... Edit: There are many vendors out there, this one is in front of the Jewish temple across the street from the 24Hr Dunkin Donuts and super pricey jewelry store.

There are at least 15 different skewer options, along with other fun fried snacks and vegetables. The skewers are grilled over charcoal, and the smoke was so prominent that we had to stand 10-15 feet away to avoid it. We knew it was going to be worth it. We got a couple of each chicken gizzard, lamb kebab, chicken heart, beef kebab, and pork belly ($2 each), listed in the order of my personal favorites. I loved the crunch of the chicken gizzard the most and honestly could have eaten at least five of them myself. The lamb kebab wasn't too gamey, and the cumin seasoning was perfection. The other three kebabs were flavorful, but weren't quite as memorable. Overall, the skewers had an intensely charred, smoky flavor that's hard to replicate without a charcoal grill. This was easily one of my favorite stalls out of everything we tried this past Sunday afternoon! 8/16/2026 Flushing Food Crawl #6 of 11

They have various protein kebabs as well as fried items. We went for a Lamb Kebab and a Beef Kebab, and you can request it to be 'regular' or 'spicy' (we opted for the latter); these skewers are grilled-to-order, so they come piping hot! There were a few fatty pieces here and there, but overall, both were juicy and a nice little snack. Staff were super friendly! Bring cash to make it easier. +skewers +friendly staff

Finally decided to come by and ordered the beef and lamb gyro for lunch, $10. Currently open M to F, 11:30a to 8pm. If you compare it to the King Souvlaki food truck in Astoria, I feel like this one is still up and coming and less options. Still not up to par yet, but who knows? It's close by the hospital so that's another option for food. The pita was delicious, had onions, lettuce, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, no fries. Portion size was decent, so you'll be full but not super full. They took cash, and I know they take Zelle too. Friendly people behind the truck!

I've been going to King Souvlaki for many years. Nowadays you can also order on UberEats/DoorDash but for the best, just go in-person of course. The Greek Fries are great with olive oil and feta but it is a large portion. I believe you can now upgrade the platter fries so you can get to taste the flavor without it being over the top. Our go to order is the platter but you can never go wrong with a sandwich either. The rice is seasoned well and with the tzatziki sauce and small salad - it's always a good plate. They do also have chicken options but beef/lamb is the way to go in my opinion. The gyro is has great flavor but it's also not overly greasy like some places.

My only complaint was the tzatziki sauce. It was much thicker than expected and had a stronger tartness, rather than the creamy, smooth texture I was hoping for. That was a little disappointing, but overall, it was still a solid meal.
