The Good: Still like what it used to taste like from what I can remember. Hits the spot every time!…read more The Bad: Adel's is a fierce competitor a few blocks down with a long line. BUT, imho Adel's doesn't really taste as good as the original Halal Guys in terms of flavor and fragrance. The chicken from Adel's is in bigger chunks and some argue is more tender, but the flavor is definitely not close. Also, it's important that it comes with lettuce, tomatoes and a little onion to balance everything out. Finally, You must get both the spicy red and white sauce together to make it all come together! The Ugly: The smell is addictive, so if you walk by, it's hard to resist, even if you've just eaten a nice meal somewhere else. We couldn't resist. Gotta hit the gym hard for the next few days!

The guys working the cart are genuinely some of the friendliest people you'll meet in midtown…read more Always smiling, always patient, even when the line is wrapped around the block. And that line is no joke. You will wait. Plan accordingly. Here's my dilemma: every single time I eat here, my stomach lets me know about it later. Without fail. I've tried adjusting the hot sauce, going easy on portions... doesn't matter. Something about this food and my digestive system just don't agree. At this point I have to accept that it's probably not for me. So why do I keep coming back? Because at 2 AM after a late night, when everything else is closed and you're starving in Times Square, that platter of chicken and rice over white sauce smells like salvation. They're the only game in town at that hour, and honestly, in the moment, it hits. It's the next morning I regret it. If your stomach handles it better than mine, you'll probably love it. The food is tasty and the portions are huge for the price. I just wish I could enjoy it without paying for it twice.

This jianbing cart will definitely become a go-to for me! Located in Court Square, it's a…read moreconvenient stop and it takes about 15-20 minutes for your order to be made. In the past, I've tried a couple jianbing in the past but didn't like them as I felt that it was too heavy and carb-y. However, one thing that I did like about this cart is that they really fill your jianbing with fillings, meat, and sauces. The pancake itself is also softer and easier to eat (like a wrap). While I would say that it is on the pricy side (at least in comparison to Flushing), I did really enjoy these and can see myself coming back a lot. (Loved their top seller with beef sausage as well as their peking duck one!)

Definitely not authentic. The pancake is way too thick and the crispy dough was very crispy at all.read more

I went to the food truck for lunch, located in Manhattan on W 45th St during lunch hours. You place…read moreyour order at the window and then wait in line, and when it's your turn to pick up your food, that's when you pay. There's usually a good crowd of people waiting, which is always a good sign. They don't accept credit cards, but they do take cash, QuickPay, Venmo, and Cash App. I got Set 3, which was the fried chicken, and it was really good! The chicken was super crispy, the rice was well seasoned, and I didn't spot any ginger in the ginger rice (a win for me since I'm not a fan). The salad was refreshing, and the soup was light but tasty. I'd definitely come back here again. It's a great lunch spot!

The spice they use isn't the classic Chinese powder kind of spice, but i still enjoyed it! Meat was very tender. Service: Quick. Less than 5 min wait. Little food truck right across the street from Spot Dessert Bar. You can't miss it! Will be back if I'm in the craving for some Chinese street food.

This food truck should be an ICON…read more Okay, to be fair they probably cater towards the Chinese population that lives around the Queensboro plaza area. But their skewers are 1. delicious 2. affordable and 3. fast to prepare. What more can you want? We got two lamb skewers with medium spiciness for $4, $2 each. Delicious. Had a decadent Cumin coating and the meats were given piping hot off the grill. Would love to come back to try their other skewers. Not surprisingly, they also accept WeChat pay, for those who forget to bring cash with them. *pro-tip - follow them on wechat so you know when they will show up. Guarantee you won't regret it.

What if I wanted hot sauce and or peanut sauce? Ample portion size but the plastic container is too narrow and makes the rice noodle lumpy.
