Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5…read moreOverall: 5/5 I found this place since I was looking for a Persian spot to try with my family downtown and I'm so glad I did! You start by choosing your base (rice, salad, or wrap) and then you can choose your protein (chicken, beef, or falafel) along with your sauce. I went with the falafel wrap and my family tried the chicken and beef wraps and the consensus was that we all loved them! They were filling, fresh, and a great value. The man who owns this food truck is also so sweet and nice which is the cherry on top!

Order the beef kabob wrap and surprised about the size. Had nice sauce with tomatoes and onions. The top of the wrap was exposed, so it seems best to have it right there.

* The Definition of Torpedo *…read more Urban Dictionary has multiple definitions or "Torpedo": - To betray, backstab, diss, or punk someone with the intent of causing harm to their reputation. - When objects or people look beautiful from far away, but dangerous or ugly up close. - A long turd. The menu sounded promising (although overpriced for a food truck) with some nice classic sandwiches on offer. I ordered the "mumia" ($12) - which I have to assume is a play on Mumia Abu-Jamal who is from Philadelphia, home of the cheesesteak? Anyhoo... The description was very cheesesteak like with sirloin beef, pepperjack cheese, sauteed onions and peppers. The addition of garlic aioli moved away from the classic as did the usage of pepperjack instead of provolone. When I unwrapped the sandwich, I was torpedoed with an excessive amount of a watery oily substance dripping all over the place. It got all over everything - not in a good way. Biting into the sandwich was the next torpedoing. The bread was stale. I don't mean day old. I mean stale. Next torpedo: the beef was chewy, gristly, and very oily. The peppers were the best part - but they too were overly oily. Basically each bite gave you a mouthful of stale bread, a piece of oily gristle flavoured by an oily pepper and a drippy oily substance (perhaps a broken aioli?). I couldn't eat the bread. Tried picking off the meat and veggies to eat, but gave up as they were too awful on their own.

In other words, I feel torpedoed that this food truck is a torpedo that serves torpedos!

I've never seen these guys around Vancouver until I went to the food cart fest this past Sunday. I…read moremust say their logo catches your eye and if you say you've got epic sandwiches you've definitely caught my attention. There was a small line when I approached the truck initially but their service was quick giving customers their sandwich within about 2-4 minutes of order, not entirely sure what the standard is for food trucks but for me that's good. The lady up front taking the orders was very friendly and was happy to help answer our questions. They only offered a few options but what I had to try was the jerk chicken sandwich as I had stopped a girl just minutes before and attempted to waft hers. Again service was fairly quick and I receive my sandwich within a few minutes. I don't think the picture I've posted will do it any justice but this baby was a beauty. The bun tasted quite fresh and almost melted in my mouth, the chicken and enough spice and flavour and the rest was just bomb. It is quite filling I found which is what you're looking for, good bang for buck. Definitely gonna track these down every time I'm downtown. Amazing experience for my taste buds.

I've been meaning to check them out for a while but since we don't live in the area and they are only open Thursdays to Saturdays, I hadn't been able to make it out until today. I went with my husband and we ordered the Crispy Chick'n Burger and the Sunshine Teriyaki Burger respectively. They use Gardein brand patties for their burgers which are delicious and we both really enjoyed our food. It's really great seeing various vegan food trucks around the city and Loving Hut has a great location in Yaletown close to False Creek . The lady working there was really friendly, giving us a run down of the menu and also directing us to good places in the area to sit and enjoy our food. That was definitely above and beyond the kind of service I've received from food trucks in the past. Looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other burger options next time!

This is the best food truck that has ever existed…read more My pal Bruce and I made plans to have lunch here on Friday. After seeing the daily menu on their facebook page, I knew I was going to have the Bacon Cheeseburger. I was going to annihilate it. With my face. Bruce ordered the BBQ Onion Ring Cheeseburger and we sat down and waited. IT WAS SO TASTY. The "bacon" was smokey, crispy and salty. The "beef" patty was perfect and not at all dry or bland. There was even some kind of vegan mayo on it, as well as some typical burger condiments. AND CHEESE SAUCE. Made of daiya I think? It was saucey, messy, hot, and delicious. I got it all over my lap and I regret NOTHING. I didn't feel all gross and sluggish after I ate it, either. I felt great! I'll probably be back, like, every day.

I keep hearing all these reviews for Vij's Railway Food truck and thought, "Really? 5 stars?" Now…read morethat I've tried it, I say "How can you NOT give it 5 stars?" It was truly a shock at how even with my expectations exceeded, I was still blown away. I ordered the Bison Curry, -the bison was tender, but lean (my favorite type of meat), the curry was flavorful and pretty spicey, the rice was cooked right and the naan was pillowy soft with a nice bounce/chew. I also had the Coconut Ginger Green Beans, which came with naan and rice. I was worried that the ginger would be overpowering, but it was a very good balance. The green beans were cooked perfectly with a slight crunch. This was my favorite dish and although I love trying different things on the menu, I might have to come back for this again. Other things that make this food cart a 5/5 is the fact that they are organized. The line up was really long, but I managed to order my food, pay for it and pick it up within 20 minutes. As people were waiting in line, the staff also apologized for the long wait and distributed menus so you can decide on your order before getting to the window. When I grabbed my cutlery, I noticed they used recycled and enviromentally safe forks and napkins. While I was about to leave, the owner came by and shook everyone's hand and thanked them for coming. This is a well run establishment and I have no doubt they will be around for a long time!

It's interesting to me what people have to say about food trucks in general, but I'm really…read moresurprised at the number of people who give a low rating to a food truck because of the price. This is not a hot dog stand, people! These are high quality ingredients, cooked to order while you wait. Sure, you aren't sitting down like you would in a restaurant, but you still get what you pay for. Food trucks still have to hire & train staff to prepare your food - there are costs associated with running the truck as well as cost of maintenance and repairs. Yes, you could go buy the ingredients yourself and make it at home for less, but that's the whole point of going out to eat - you're paying a premium for someone else to cook it, and chances are very slim you'd do a better job than the folks at Vij's Express. You will not get this kind of quality for the price of a Happy Meal, so if you're just concerned about the cost, I believe there is a McDonald's not that far from where Vij's is located, so head on over there and save your $3-4 - but ask for the heart attack on the side. For the rest of us who appreciate better quality "fast" food, Vij's is incredible. I've eaten just about everything on their menu, and they manage to keep things exciting by changing the menu according to what's seasonal, local and fresh. I have to admit, my favourite dish is the chick pea & rice puff salad, even though I used to hate chick peas. These guys converted me! The flavours (and colours) are vibrant and well balanced; although, I wouldn't mind if they kicked it up another notch on the spice belt. But that's just me - my friend thinks the heat is just perfect. If you're not quite sure what to order the first time you're there - you have to try the cassava fries - they're so good! Pair that with a blueberry lassi and you're all set. :)

As I finished work early and usually passed by before 5 pm, I didn't get the chance to try the food until recently. There was a short line of people waiting for the food so I guessed this was popular in the neighborhood. I ordered the basil chicken ($16.95) medium spice. The portion was huge and smelled really good. There was no fried egg as shown on the picture. I was told the fried egg was an additional order for $2.50. My mistake as I just looked at the picture and didn't read the description. Quite misleading in that case. It was not spicy at all at medium spice. It was very salty. I was quite disappointed with the dish. Maybe other dishes like the curry and pad see siew would be better? That seemed to be what others were ordering. They do not offer beef as a protein option here. Only chicken, pork, tofu and shrimp. At that price point, I'll rather go to my Thai restaurant where I know the basil chicken dish (pad kra pow) will taste good.

When they are though, it is a special treat in my book, and the best Thai food money can buy for many blocks in any direction!! I've stuck with the Basil Chicken and would highly recommend it. A few times it has come out a bit spicier than I would have liked, but you can always request it to be less spicy. Thanks TBOT! :)

The burgers were pretty good for being such a small hole in the wall/bar vibe, and for how small…read morethe patties were. Biggest downfall was the service. When my big group all had finally found a table that was open, we started looking at the menus on our phone and it wasn't until about 15 minutes of being there that we were told they had a limited menu. The burgers all came out at different times and my burger in particular came out about 20+ minutes after the rest of my group. I was grateful for the GF bun, but my burger came out lukewarm and the bun wasn't toasted, which always makes a big difference for GF bread. All this said, they just seemed really short staffed for a Friday night and I felt bad for the few servers they had. The servers were incredibly kind and gave us all free lemon daddy shots to make up for the long wait time for my burger.

They offer juicy smash beef patties, a veggie/vegan option with sweet potato, gluten free buns, burgers for kids and even a treat for dogs. I've tried almost everything on the menu at this point, and their current Feature Burger called the Aussie Kapow is my favourite (why have I never heard of pickled beets on a burger before?!). Second place would be the Crunch, their crispy chicken burger which is perfectly cooked every time I get it. Great spot to bring the whole fam, as the brewery has lots of non-alcoholic and non-beer options, as well as board and card games, and a cute patio for pups.

The outside of the cauliflower is lightly fried but the flavour is there and on top of that the sauce it comes with it's so unique and delicious.

The chicken molasses wrap really caught our eye as we were leaving so that's for next time!

Lucky for me in that case though - Sajetarian did not serve me dirt but rather a steaming mound of deep fried potatoes smothered in halloumi and kashkaval cheese, topped off with fried eggplant. Drizzled with a sweet and tangy Zaatar Gravy - this poutine was not your average poutine but I wasn't looking for average anyways this past Friday night. Friday Night found us in Port Moody doing a spontaneous brew pub crawl because I insist that I am still young and fun but mostly because I just started trying to plan a wedding where everything is horrifying and so beer is necessary. Our third and final stop was Yellow Dog Brewing where Sajetarian Food Truck was sitting outside, just calling our names. After subpar to terrible service at The Bakery, Moody Ales, and Yellow Dog Brewing (maybe this is just Brew Pub culture and I need thicker skin and why serve beer with a smile when you could just scowl) and mediocre to awful food at the other two food trucks that shall not be named, it was a real treat to be greeted with warmth and kindness at Sajetarian at the end of the night. What a delight. "Do you have any questions? What are you in the mood for? Are you really hungry or are you looking for something snacky?" They must have seen the anguish written all over my face because I always struggle when faced with a menu of options but not to worry because the kind people behind Saj asked the right questions and were all about the trusted advice tonight. Mediterranean wrap, deep fried cauliflower, or poutine?? In the end, we opted for the Poutine with the Beef add on because it is Friday and we must live each moment like it is our last. At $15, this poutine did not come cheap and I'd be lying if I said the eggplant was not my favourite part because it so was. Eggplant is such a finicky veg to cook so when my eggplant comes out hot and tasty with the perfect texture - colour me impressed. Motion to put forward eggplant poutine - because this will be all the rage in 2020 and potatoes are so Second Millennium. Okay, listen - I'm not about to stand here and give my poutine a 3 Michelin star rating but when I'm standing in my rosy beer haze frozen outside in November cold and the two friendliest people in Port Moody hand me a steaming pile of greasy food to pair with my beer, I am in my happy place and I would buy again. Next time, that Deep Fried Cauliflower and Saj bread are mine.
