    Monday lunch plate
    Grace L.

    Heard about the $5 lunch plate here, and I couldn't resist a good deal! I came here after my class, and the owner, who is absolutely lovely, took my order. I found out that $5 is actually a suggested donation since he did not ask me and the other customers in line to pay. However, I still donated via Venmo because I wanted to support him! I only waited around 5 minutes before he personally handed me my order. Since I came on a Monday, my lunch plate included rice, kabocha coconut curry, chickpea curry, corn chips, strawberry halava dessert, and lemonade! For $5, you get so much for amazing value! As for the food, everything was so tasty! It was my first time trying all the food items in my lunch plate, and everything was super flavorful! I really enjoyed the chickpea curry the most. I also loved the strawberry halava dessert!! I never tried halava before, so I was pleasantly surprised when it was lightly sweet with a nice strawberry flavor. Lemonade was tangy and sweetened perfectly too. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend giving this food truck a try! The owner is an absolute sweetheart serving delicious food at a very affordable price. As a broke college student, I'm definitely coming here more often lol. Please come and support this wonderful business!

    Govinda, the owner of this food truck, is a true hero. He runs this truck as a personal mission to do his part in battling food insecurity. His plates are priced at $5 (but really, this is a suggested donation and he never turns you away if you're in need). Everything in the truck is vegan, partly due to his religious beliefs (Hare Krishna) and partly to accommodate every srudents' dietary preferences. Each plate is packed with flavor, nutrition, and love. He runs a set menu for each day of the week. It always comes with a glass of lemonade and chips. Don't worry about the portion sizes. You're sure to leave satisfied. But most importantly, the owner is a genuinely good person. He always stands outside his food truck, personally greeting customers and taking their orders. He takes great pride in his work and is always ecstatic to share updates about how his business is doing and how much he is helping his community. I've spoken to him many times and he understands the food insecurity crisis that students face, hence the pricing and proximity to UCLA. In order to break even, he must sell 70 plates daily, so please frequent this place as much as you can.

    In 1995 the price was $5. Its 2025 and the price is $5. This is a great spot to grab lunch. Everyone is friendly. Your meal even comes with lemonade. I have been here a few times already. I will be back.

    The sweet guy who runs the truck!

    I've eaten at this truck several times since it's been open and what I love most is the concept. A place where college students and the public can purchase a healthy balanced vegan meal for a mere $5 donation! I should also note that I've seen students who didn't have it receive their meal free of charge! And the guy running the truck is the sweetest, his energy is so loving- you can can tell he genuinely loves what he's doing. The meal usually consists of some type of vegan curry, rice and beans, a dessert and a lemonade! You can also purchase samosas and a few other desserts when available! I like how they add the corn tortilla chips on top for those of us who want a little crunch! I'm at UCLA often, so I've seen this truck grow over the years but one thing that stays consistent is the warmth that radiates from this man every time he hands you your food!

    OMG this truck is the bomb! Tucked into a lot on Le Conte near Broxton. Great food, can't beat the price! Super friendly people running it. Thanks to the Krishna community

    Excellent food and well priced for the quality. The Naan bread was my favorite. Kind staff also.read more

    Went there for the second time today. We wanted a take-out as we had had a busy day and having a…read morebusiness visitor coming in the early evening. I did my best to avoid door-dash etc by ordering on their website. I walked in the pick up my order and it was as if I was invisible! The guy saw me through the open curtains but just ignored me. Horrible. I waited to make sure that it was my order on the desk, I saw the label so I knew that it was but still felt that I should wait for some acknowledgment at least but he clearly did not care. Did I get a greeting? No. When I could attract his attention I said is this mine and indicated just take it. Pathetic. I had already paid 10% tip and wished I could get that back. Then I get home and find that instead of the two orders of rice pudding (ticked off on the receipt) we only had one. I called him up and he said they only had one and so could only give me one. They still charged for two. Why not tell me?! I demanded a refund he refused and said that I would have contacted DoorDash Beyond pathetic!! I will NEVER order to go from them ever again!! So why 3 points and not one? Because the food is tasty so PERHAPS we will try eating in one night. But if the service is from the same guy that will be the last time ever. Basically I am writing this to inform the manager/owner. I have a personal friend who has a great restaurant but is losing money daily in these inflationary times. I can see the same happening to this restaurant and so sir or madam please read this, talk to your staff, train them or fire them before they wreck your business.. your choice.
