    Lobster roll and shrimp chips! Delicious!
    Melinda B.

    I LOVED this place!! Incredible lobster rolls near home!? The lobster was generous. It was perfectly cooked and tender. The bun was crunchy and buttery. They gave shrimp chips that were freshly fried and had that delicate crunch. They were seasoned with furikake and so yummy. I tried the tofu pudding and oh my gosh - I thought it was one of the best things. The flavor is subtle and light but the texture was so satisfying. The lady who took my order was very nice and bright with a friendly smile and enthusiasm. It was really pleasant. Will be back, without a doubt. $35 you get a lobster roll, shrimp chips, dessert and a drink. Amazing.

    Im so glad they have ICELANDIC HOT DOGS!! I've been craving one ever since I visited a couple years ago. The taste of these hot dogs is so unique and "clean" and exactly like the ones I've had in Iceland !! Perhaps even better bc of the toppings,, I am so glad. I think the value for this is great! I will visit again. Highly recommended :)

    This is my first time to try its lobster sandwich and is delicious. They put a generous amount of lobster meat on the bread. It also added truffle oil to make it taste so good. The lady that serve me provide excellent service.

    Good lobster rolls and everything,....... must try if u around the neighborhood. Easy parking space in front of the truck

    It's nice to have lobster rolls in the area. Located on Valley Blvd. You can't miss this truck when driving by. But it sucks you have to take it home or eat it in your car since there's really nowhere to eat it. The lady in the truck is really nice. The lobster roll was good, buttery and soft. Can't go wrong w a good lobster roll but for the price, I think I'd rather go to a sit down restaurant.

    Delicious lobster rolls! The lobster was fresh, perfectly cooked judging from the texture. Would definitely get it again. The douhua tofu pudding desert was also refreshingly good as a dessert. The fish from the fish and chips' batter was a little undercooked on the inside as it was moist/mushy where it touched the fish. But that's alright because the lobster roll and douhua make up for it tenfold! The only woman working had such great service and energy. I had never had the tofu pudding before, so she gave it to me for free on the house which was so nice of her! Check them out!

    This was my first time trying Taiwanese street food. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew…read more I got their grape yogurt drink, sausage hug sausage, and scallion pancake chicken cutlet to try. The grape yogurt drink was creamy, yogurty, and tart with real, refreshing, fruity grape flaves and seeds. The sausage hug sausage had a firm, bouncy, sweet, fatty, thick sausage, pungent raw garlic, and crunchy sweet pickled cucumbers all on a chewy sticky rice bed. The scallion pancake chicken cutlet had a super flakey crispity crunchity chewy wrap, a brushing of sweet sticky hoisin sauce, some shredded cabbage, and a thin crispity crunchy bubbly lightly savory chicken cutlet. Overall this place is pretty good. Yogurt drink $6.75 Sausage hug sausgae $12 Scallion pancake chicken cutlet $11

Also, chicken could have been crispier outside but that's just me I prefer crispier popcorn chicken. Otherwise it was solid and right amount of seasoning and honey milk tea was yum. Didn't taste powdered down or anything. I ordered 50% and the honey taste is memorable . There's other food trucks available so as far as vibes... busy all around! I usually just try to blend in with the crowd and point to what looks the yummiest to me hoping they have popcorn chicken lol So I will definitely come back again for some yummy treats when I'm leaving work hehe

I pulled into the Good Fortune Supermarket (formerly Hong Kong Supermarket) parking lot to check it out. Everything looked new and clean, but business seemed slow because no one was around. Two Asian men sitting around liao tianr-ing (chatting) sprang up as I approached. My Chinese not being the best combined with their somewhat heavy mainland accents meant I didn't know how or what to order. They said they had one last serving of what sounded like "lamb" to me left. I took a glance and saw grilled/fried stuff on the menu, so I said sure why not. I asked how long they've been open, what their hours are, and if they're usually at this location. They said this is the first week they've been open, their hours are around 5 PM to 9 PM, and yes they are usually in front of the supermarket. I asked if I could take pictures and if they had a Yelp page, and they said sure and not yet. Around this time, while I was chatting with one guy and the other guy was preparing my order, a few other groups of people saw the commotion and started inching closer, curious. You know me, always blazing trails. Anyway, it wasn't until I paid and got change that I realized what I ordered. Apparently I ordered the Brothers Features Liangpi. I've never heard of a liangpi, so I was excited to bring it home to try it out. It turns out liangpi is like a flat rice noodle (or mungbean sheet?) cut up with cold cucumbers, tofu, cilantro, and a bit of Sichuan pepper (mala). They gave me a sesame sauce on the side. It was pretty good. In summary: Food was good though I ordered only one thing. I'll be back sometime in the next few days to try out more of their menu. Service was good. I was the only one around for a bit, but they were definitely friendly. Food truck with an "A" rating from the health department. It's a positive, but part of me wants to count it as a negative. Asian street food, to me, just isn't the same without massive cockroaches skittering around piles of rotting vegetables all around me while mosquitoes eat me alive. Pricing seems fair. Definitely not cheap as my liangpi wasn't huge or anything, but it wasn't too expensive either. I hope Asian-street-food food trucks become more popular.

Turns out ALL the sandwiches are squid ink. This truck specializes in squid ink bread. Facepam. Poor execution. Anyway, got the Go Ham and Cheese as recommended (since the tuna wasabi ran out).

    I came here with my friends, and this was my second time visiting. The last time I came was before…read morehigh school, so it had been a long time. We stopped by after the gym and ordered some food. My partner and I shared the nachos, while our friends got the quesadilla and tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The food tasted fresh, was well-seasoned, and wasn't overly salty, which I really appreciated. One thing I love is their salsa bar. They have a self-serve area outside the truck where you can get as much salsa as you want. It's convenient, and it's nice that they're not stingy with condiments. They also offer daily specials. We didn't order any of the daily deals this time, but they looked like a great value. If you're looking for delicious food at an even better price, definitely check out their daily specials before ordering. The location is another plus. It's right outside Jefferson Middle School in a quiet area with plenty of parking, making it very convenient to visit. Several people recommended the horchata, saying I had to try it, so I ended up getting one and sharing it with my partner. It was really good! The only thing I noticed was that it didn't come with ice, so we added some when we got home. The service was quick and friendly. They took our order right away, and the food was ready in about 10 minutes. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back soon.

One of the dish we ordered was the house special sauce crab with market price of ~$26 per pound. We added the noodles for $10. Normal practice the server should come and advise on the size of our crab before making so we can choose how big the crab we want for our dish, because we're paying by pound for the dish anyway... but within 2 minutes of placing the order, a crab dish arrived... HA! Problem 1: The server originally tried to give the crab dish to the table next to us and the folks refused the dish... then the server turned around and placed the dish onto our table for us. CLEARLY they made a mistake and made the wrong dish for next table and decide to not waste food and gave it to us. We asked if that was really our dish and they said yes... what a lie! The kitchen took 2 mins to cook our dish? haha...dumb! Next table was there before us and their house special lobster noodles arrived 10-15 minutes later. First they made a mistake, then tried to lie to cover it up. No one is stupid here. We would have been ok if they were honest about it and ask if we would accept that dish with no complain here. Problem 2: The table next to us got their plates changed multiple times and NOT once did someone came to check on us about changing plates. Problem 3: Our bill came. They charged our crab as 2.5 pounds. What a joke! I'm a crab person. I know my crabs. That tiny crab is probably around 1.5 pounds - 2 pounds max. (Check out the picture to see the small crab shell and the tiny pieces of the crab legs and meat pieces on the edge of the plate). The $10 they charged for noodles was a huge portion, but that is not the same value as 1 pound of crab that they overcharged us for the dish. The house special crab was pretty tasty and we like the fried calamari. The veggie was decent and soup was pretty weak... our bill was $150 and I tipped $20 for the experience. Be grateful and work on improving your practice
