I had kogi taco truck for an event. I was impressed with how fast they were able to get through the entire line and think it is a good idea for events! I love the idea of the Korean-Mexican fusion because it's like the best of both worlds. The food was delicious. My only gripe was that my pork belly and short ribs were slightly dry. Nonetheless, all 3 tacos were flavorful. My favorite of the 3 was the chicken taco. I loved the veggie toppings that came with it! When I heard that we were going to have a kogi truck at our event, I was excited to try something new. Alas, they only had 2 choices: meat tacos or tofu tacos. Regardless, the tacos were delicious! read more

COVID-19: Social distancing is enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask. All customers are expected to wear a mask too. The staff also wears gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs only and has no outdoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. This is a good truck. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment since this is a food truck. Parking: This is a food truck so it roams around the city of LA. There is no parking lot. Just park on the street where this food truck is. Food: I ordered a beef, chicken, and pork taco. So fricken bomb and spicy! The taco shells are soft and warm. The sauce for the tacos are hella delicious. Staff: The staff here is very nice, friendly, and welcoming. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. read more

Our company had a Lunar New Year event and asked Kogi to be a part of it. We needed options for our vegetarian and vegan employees and they easily made that happen. Obviously Kogi is well knowing in LA but a lot of our employees had never had their food before, which made them being a part of our event even more special. When planning the event their team was so great and gave us some really great menu options to choose from. We ended up going with the 3-taco plate that was topped for a vegetable slaw. Our menu was a choice of a short rib taco, chicken taco, pork taco and tofu taco. For our vegetarian and vegan employees I can report that the tofu taco was absolute fire. The Kogi employees were so nice and really professional. We appreciate them so much for all the did to be a part of this special event for our company. One more big shout out, the Catering Manager Elisa Gonzalez was amazing to work with. She was so fast getting back to me when I initially reached out to her and the communication we received from her leading up to our event was so great. I knew that if i had any questions that I could reach out to her but honestly, everything was so easy that I never had one. To any companies looking to get a food truck for their event, our employees HIGHLY recommend them. read more

Ok, I had high hopes for Kogi but I was disappointed. Staff is great and they work as fast as they can. My disappointment comes from the food itself. I ordered the spicy pork taco, the short rib taco (of course), and the blue moon mulita. Hated the tacos, especially the short rib taco. The meat has very little flavor, and the toppings add nothing. The blue moon mulita was MUCH better in my opinion. The purple sauce they out on top is super unique and adds a cool tangy flavor to the chicken and cheese. read more

Very bad customer service. I have reached out multiple times, email, phone calls, and voicemails. Alex has not shown any interest in taking my business. I had the food and its great, but at this point, I would rather spend money elsewhere. I had to cancel Kogi truck less than 2 weeks before my wedding. read more

Awesome taco truck! nice work Roy Choi and team :) So glad to see how Kogi has grown and continued to have success after over a decade. Check out there website to see their taco truck weekly schedule. read more

Pricey but omg so good. That green sauce, idk what they put in it but citrus and tangy but so savory. Ton of meat and the quesadilla is one fill of flavor definitely would 10/10 try again. I've always heard of the kogi truck and now that I've finally had it, wow I was impressed. Worth the hype. At least try it once! You won't be disappointed. Great taste and flavors and definitely unique. I've never had Anything similar before. read more

How these guys, and cater I work event. We had a limited menu but got to try a little bit of everything. I tried the beef short rib taco, the slider, and the kimchi quesadilla. At first I was really looking forward to the kimchi quesadilla, and not really looking forward to the short rib taco because of the weird green coleslaw that they put on top that smells like sesame seed oil. And then after trying all three I completely change my mind. It turns out that the short rib taco was pretty good and even though it smelled like sesame seed oil it didn't taste like it. I don't think the quality of the meet is very good for the marinade of the meet was very good but the combine flavor and texture was on point. What it was like it was that really good roasted chipotle spicy salsa that I get at my favorite taco truck. The kimchi quesadilla was absolutely horrible. I've come to the conclusion that kimchi should never be cooked. And it should never be combined with anything that has cheese in it. I'll top of that they put the sauce on it that looks like a pretty good gokujing sauce but is it more like salty MSG. And then finally there's the slider. Which is the same ingredients as the taco but wrapped in a really dance later but instead of taco shell. Which if it's supposed to be Korean I would expect it a Hawaiian roll and not a dense Bun that is more fitting for a pulled pork slider that it is short ribs slider. Made it to heavy and gummy and less light and flavorful and juicy. read more

$9 sweet chili chicken quesadilla is all you need to know. Excellent texture, incredible flavor profile, potentially my favorite quesadilla in LA read more

Hey it is pretty good! Got the Pacman Burger (mix of 3 meats, cabbage and salsa), $8. You may think it won't fill you up, but they put a lot of meat in it. Pretty tasty. The bun was toasted so it was warm and nice the whole time I was eating the burger. I want to try all their items!! Look so unique. read more

I catered Kogi for my wedding with two trucks - and it was a huge hit with my guests! I was so impressed with how fast the lines went through to get their food; it was almost faster than any buffet/self serve set up that I've experienced at other weddings! Luisana was a pure joy to work with when planning and coordinating details for my wedding order; she was instrumental in also helping me figure out how much food to get for my guests (~180 guests) along with the added order of salads/unlimited drinks. Would highly recommend catering Kogi for your event/weddings to come! read more

Kogi is always fire! Me n my husband will wait in line forever to get our hands on their food! Lucky for us they post up right by our place frequently. Definitely one of our favorite food trucks! Gotta try it! read more

Probably i wont be coming back to kogi truck in buena park! I really wanted to try this since college.. its been like 7-8 years ago. Anyway, this aint taste like korean bbq tacos... too sugarishy and taste not really good.. I ordered spicy pork burritos and it tasted not like spicy pork.. just sugar taste pork.. no spicy on it... I dont think i will recommend this truck to my friends... i would rather tell my friends to go to authentic tacos near by this truck where i have been going for almost two years! I gave three stars becuz the service was good... But im wondering if the price is plus tax becuz i ordered combo 2 10.75 and they charged me 11 something... read more

Love it! Love it! Love it! Got to try their tacos during my visit to L.A and hands down on short rib taco!! Short rib burrito was excellent too. Hope they open the branch in LAX ASAP so we can try once more before leaving L.A when we revisit. read more

Kogi BBQ Catering - Nomnomnom! - Caterers Near Me

I've had one of the worst experiences with this catering truck. To start, they are beyond unprofessional and have no sense of good customer service. I was there before their closing time and they continued to argue with me about how they wouldn't serve me because I came after the 5 minute cutoff. but the they never told us it was last call so we thought we would still be able to get more food instead of being professional they decided to act like children. food was excellent but service was absolute trash. read more

I hired a Kogi truck for a medium-sized screening event (about 180 guests). Luisana made the whole process very easy -- drafting an easy-to-read contract, answering all of my questions promptly, and extending our service by an hour to accommodate the event's itinerary. Luisana even built a custom menu to best match our guests' needs. Oh, and it goes without saying that the food was excellent. Just look to any of the other nine Yelp pages for Kogi's location-specific trucks to hear more about that. But I'm happy to report that the quality of the Kogi brand is well-represented in their catering work, and I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Being from Los Angeles originally, my husband and I are big fans of Kogi BBQ, so it was a no brainer to have them cater our wedding in Los Angeles. Everyone absolutely LOVED the food as much as we do and for us, it felt so awesome and personal to have Kogi at our wedding because the food really represented who we both are culturally, especially our ties to L.A. Working with Luisiana was great. She was so accommodating and answered all of our nagging questions throughout our planning process! It really made a difference for us to feel like we could be total newbies to the wedding planning process but feel like we could ask her all of our questions. Kogi is a very flexible catering service in that you can work with them in a variety of locations. Our wedding was at SmogShoppe so we couldn't actually have the truck inside the event but Kogi suggested a few different ways we could serve our guests and it worked out great. Keep in mind that Kogi BBQ catering only provides food and runners specifically so if you are looking for a full catering staff of bussers, bartenders, beverage service, dinnerware rentals, etc you will have to contract an additional vendor but we found that to be quite useful as it allowed us the flexibility of staying within our budget since the cost/quality value of using Kogi is exceptional. I highly recommend using Kogi to cater your wedding if you are looking for a delicious, high-quality and unique food experience for your event. Thank you Kogi! You were amazing and really made our wedding a unique memory and experience! read more

YOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! TOFU TACOS .. I need in my belly!!!! seriously.. I don't even know what to say.. we went last night and I want to kidnap the chef and chain him to the stove in my kitchen.. make tacos for me daily son! *smacks lips* GO NOW! *drops mic* read more

Solid food truck, tacos were basic and very solid. Quesadilla was a little greasy for my liking - I would stick to just getting tacos - short rib and spicy pork. Keep rolling and positive vibes- kelV read more

We used Kogi Truck for our wedding dinner on May 11, 2013 and it was FANTASTIC. It was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. Fantastic food.... nice crew working the truck.... no clean-up for us. One of our friends said that Kogi "ruined me for all other tacos," someone else called it "genius," and there were a countless number of folks who called the food "amazing." One of the best things about Kogi was communication prior to the event. I worked with Luisana Valdez, who took care of the contract, answered all of my questions, and made some final tweaks in the 1-2 weeks before the wedding. Overall, I would highly recommend Kogi catering for casual weddings and other special events. read more

Everyone loved the Kogi Truck at our wedding. The food was great and the most impressive part was how quickly they cranked out the food so none of the guests had to wait for long. We heard nothing but the best comments from our guests. read more

"This is my opinion/experience" This mix of Korean with Spanish food (tacos) sounds interesting. I have traveled to different countries and have tried a lot different street food (including insects/bugs). So far, the Kogi Truck is the only one that I can't finish at least one of their tacos. Either way, after my 7th attempt with their food(Kogi)Despite the fact of me getting sick everytime I tried it, I have decided it's not for me. I have always wondered why a lot people seem to enjoyed it. I mean, the taste is very sweet in every order that I had ever made,also the flavor of Kimchi itself it's not same as a the ones that are actually fermented. I am not like everyone else who likes to follow a chain, instead I say things how they are. Korean food is amazing and I simply love it. Spanish food is also amazing. But to be honest, the food they served is not quite right. They are only famous because of tweeter and facebook, as for flavor, let's just say, I haven't given up yet. To the people who gave me their honest opinions while we ate at the Kogi truck, thank you. This is my personal experience after my 7th attempt. ps. I am just a self aware person that loves food and I rate food only, not the Chef or the staff. I give my honest opinions, whether is good or bad. Everyone has different opinions but most of them lack of honesty. read more

I've only had Kogi a couple of times or so, and I never thought it was all that amazing before... like it was good, but ya. ANYWAYYYYY so I actually had the pleasure of actually waiting in line for about 45 minutes at a Kogi truck back when they just started getting popular. I hit up some truck in 626, and got myself some tacos and a burrito. Thought it was good but never went back. Fast forward 10 years later. Or.. I dunno how long to be exact but it was a long time ago so let's say 10. My work ordered the truck for a day for some company thing, and we had pretty much unlimited amounts of food for like 3 hours. The menu was a little more limited, but we could order as much as we wanted, which was awesome. I had 3 tacos - chicken, beef, and pork. All were good, not bad. Also tried the sliders... yum. About the same league as those tacos. But the QUESADILLA! This shit is fire. And by that I mean delicious but also quite spicy. I think that's why I like it a lot, cos it has that HEAT but also really flavorful from that kimchi and cheese. It's actually a really good combo, and they also add this spicy sauce I think. YUM. Thanks Kogi! read more

Kogi is amazing. It's that simple. I rented out one of their trucks for my 21st birthday and it was definitely the hit of the party. Their service was fantastic and the crew worked extremely efficiently. Kogi took care of everything for me so all I had to do was worry about party hosting. I would definitely hire Kogi for any event because their food is fantastic and the service is equally fantastic as well. read more

had kogi for the first time today in san gabriel. ordered the short rib tacos and the sweet chili chicken quesadilla. both tasted ok and they were a good size, but the meat quality of both items were of poorer quality. a lot of gristle and fat in my tacos, and the leaner pieces were tough and dry. the quesadilla was better, but the chicken quality wasn't that great either. the sauce is bomb tho. not sure if it's a cost thing, but meat quality matters. 2.5 stars, but I'll give them 3 stars instead of 2 stars. read more

Flavor, flavor, and more flavor! It's an amazing combination of savory, salty, rich, incredible flavors coming together to create something magical. I love the short rib burrito but everything is pretty outstanding. read more

Not to be trite, but I also wanted to chime in that using Kogi BBQ catering was a HUGE hit with my wedding guests. Guests raved about the food, and were none the wiser that it's a great deal! I would highly recommend using Kogi BBQ catering for your wedding or other event. read more

Kogi is definitely one of my all time favorite LA trucks. My favorite are the tofu tacos, but I also get the Blackjack quesadilla sans the meat, add kimchi. The green sauce is to die for on the blackjack and the tacos pack a lot of punch both flavor wise, and for the value. I will never forget one of the specials they ran, one I actually got to eat because it was vegetarian. It was a grilled cheese sandwich, with satay peanut butter, bananas, and chili paste! OMG. I think I may have gotten a little misty after my first bite. Wow. Please bring it back someday Kogi! read more

Thank you Kogi BBQ truck for making our fabulous wedding at Montrose Bowling Alley perfect!!!! Our guests can't stop telling us how much they enjoyed the tacos!! The truck was parked right outside the bowling alley and our guests loved hanging out by the truck and then bringing their food back into the bowing alley to eat or stayed out on the street where they could enjoy the tree lined twinkle lit street. Working with Luisana prior to the wedding was easy and stress free! She made everything easy and made sure that I knew that all plates, sporks and napkins would be included. She always got right back to me whenever I had a question. The staff in the truck couldn't have been nicer and our guests never had to wait more than a few minutes once they ordered their tacos! They arrived earlier than I thought they would and were ready to serve as soon as our guests came out to the truck to begin placing their orders! Having the Kogi Truck was one of the coolest elements of our very fun and unconventional wedding!!! Thank you Kogi!! read more

Short ribs tacos were really flavorful but the meat was a tad bit cold. The lettuce combination topping made up for it though. Sweet Chili Chicken quesadilla was really good too. Will definitely try again read more

We just finished our holiday week of festivities and by far, the favorite day was when the Kogi truck arrived to cater the day's event. Friendly, accommodating, professional, on time service, and absolutely delicious food! we did a prix-fixe 3-variety taco plate/or a tofu plate so the line moved fast. Food was hot and delicious, set up and tear down was seamless. A special thank you to manager Youngho who worked with my many restrictions and budget. He is an absolute pleasure. Great food, great service. We appreciate you Kogi! Cant wait to have you back again. read more

Wow this is the first time I've tried a food truck in my life and boy was I impressed by the amount of food the value of the food and the quality as well as genuine customer service!

We had Kogi as our main meal for our wedding this November. The food as always was delicious and all my friends and family enjoyed the food (even though my Chinese family was very skeptical of a taco truck for a wedding at first). Luisana was always very responsive and it was easy to book the event and make changes with her. They came on time and everyone was very friendly. Thank you so much! read more

The Kogi truck catered our wedding and they were wonderful. The food was great and there was plenty for our 100+ guest. Special requests were done with out a problem. The short rib tacos were the best and we did tofu for the vegetarians. Five Starts. Highly Recommended. read more

For my daughters debut we got KOGI to cater. I have to say the whole experience was a Gastronomic Success. I appreciated the prompt reply of my inquiry,to speaking to the catering manager Youngho & faxing the contracts to finally locking the deal. They made it so convenient for me. They were at the venue on schedule. I met Jose (truck supervisor) who was such a sweetheart. The whole crew was friendly & nice. They were as excited as the hungry kids. :)) Food was Delicious served warm & flavorful. The guests (mostly teenagers & adults) were so Ecstatic with the whole experience. The pace of serving the food was a breeze. The lines moved fairly quickly & everyone was just too happy to have unlimited KOGI for dinner. There was not one person who was not satisfied with the food at night. My daughter was so delighted to get complimented on how her guests Loved KOGI. I would gladly have them cater my future parties. read more

4.25 stars. We had Kogi cater our wedding's cocktail hour. The event went great - the food came out as delicious as always, and my concern that the line would get ridiculously long was unfounded. We restricted the menu to a single plate - one short rib taco, one chicken taco - and a vegetarian option, but... having waited in a Kogi line... I was a bit skeptical that they could keep up. I never actually saw the line, but guests reported that the wait was pretty short. One half-star off for being sticklers about their "no chafing dishes or butler-served" policy. Our guests had to take a couple steps from the cocktail venue to the curb, where the truck was. I understand and appreciate the quality control, but I would have preferred to keep the guests inside the venue. One quarter-star off for the communication being a bit lacking. Circling back in the days before the event, to confirm that everything was on-plan, would have been appreciated. Not a huge fan of communication dropping off completely. Anyway... People who've eaten at the truck were excited, people from San Diego who'd heard of it but never tried it loved it, and guests from Japan enjoyed it very much. Overall a great crowd pleaser, and a great addition to our event. read more

We had them caterer our wedding. Good food interesting flavors the granddaddy of all LA food trucks. Kimchee quesadilla was good slider was better. All in all a fascinating flavor combination real gourmet food on a truck. Made our wedding just that much better and so we weren't just dealing with family bullshit! A good distraction from our parents meeting each other! read more

Had the opportunity to work along side Kogi Catering and Youngho the catering manger at an event last week. I have to say I am very impressed with his planning skills. At no time was I left in the dark if there were changes to the plan or updates that I needed to be informed of. His work ethic was impressive which is hard to find in the catering industry. Being a catering manager myself I can't tell you enough how important it is to have someone like him on your team. I would definitely recommend him and Kogi if you are looking for a delcious and well organized truck! read more
