    A Unique New Food Truck in the 626 Area Over the past couple of years, more and more food trucks have been popping up around the 626 area. Most of them are usually grilled food, Hispanic food, or sushi-style options. This food truck feels like something new and different for the area, especially since it's opened by a Chinese owner. I give them credit for bringing something rare and unique to a location where this type of food truck is hard to find. Location The truck is located on Valley Blvd, on the westbound curbside outside the GW Supermarket parking lot. Menu Their menu is not overwhelming, which I actually appreciate. Their signature item is the lobster roll, but they also offer tofu pudding, shrimp/lobster chips, fish and chips, lobster grilled cheese, coconut shrimp, clam chowder, and a few other items. They also offer free shrimp/lobster chips if you check in on Yelp. What I Ordered On the day I visited, I ordered: 2 lobster rolls Clam chowder Free shrimp/lobster chips from Yelp check-in Free tofu pudding I really appreciated their generosity and friendly service. The lady who helped me was super nice and answered my questions in detail. Lobster Roll -- 3.5 to 4/5 The lobster roll was not bad. I would probably rate it around 3.5 to 4 out of 5. I do think it could be better with a different type of bread. I understand they may want to be a little different from other places that use the usual lobster roll bread, but in my opinion, the bread they use is not necessarily better. It just feels different. Shrimp/Lobster Chips The shrimp/lobster chips were decent. Clam Chowder & Tofu Pudding -- 2/5 The clam chowder and tofu pudding were not really for me. I'm not sure how to describe them, and maybe it just comes down to personal preference, but I would personally rate both around 2 out of 5. Price Price-wise, it is definitely on the expensive side. A lobster roll is $26, which feels very pricey and may make people hesitant to come back often or order more items. It is even more expensive than some of the more popular lobster roll spots in Vegas. Overall Overall, I respect the concept and appreciate that they are bringing something new to the 626 area. The service was friendly, and the lobster roll was decent, but the pricing and a few of the side items could be improved.

    tried the lobster roll twice already. so fresh, clean, and light and for the amount of lobster we get, i would say its worth it. tried calamari , would pass on it. the lady/owner? was super sweet and friendly. she forgot one of our items and gave us tofu pudding to make up for it. overall, would definitely come back again for just the lobster roll itself!

    Lobster roll and shrimp chips! Delicious!

    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.

    Very nice workers and lobster roll is good. You get free shrimp chips if you check in on yelp.

    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.

    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!

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.

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.

Other items we ordered were the French Style Beef Cube, Braided Crab Meat & Fish Maw Soup, Beef Mongolian, Crispy Fried Sole Fish, BBQ Fried Rice, Clams with Spicy Sauce, Crispy Fried Squid with Salt and Pepper, and Clams with Black Bean Sauce. The portions are actually quite massive for each dish. All of it was very solid and tasty Chinese food. We were definitely very stuffed after this lunch was over! Service here is solid enough for a Chinese place. They were pretty quick with getting us extra plates to change out our dirty plates and more bowls as needed. And they were quick with the water. But yeah, you do have to flag them down to get their attention. They do have a parking lot here, and we got here early enough on a Sunday where parking wasn't an issue.
