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. :)

Had to drop by as I was seeing glowing reviews…read more Beef Patty $2.50, the crust when reheated was flaky and delicious. Was like a giant wonton. Eggplant Hummus, super smokey in flavour and the eggplant shredded gave the humus a very nice overall texture. Stewed Beans, beans cooked to perfection and seasoned lightly in a tomato dressing. Bakalava, Don't quote me on the specific names, as I requested a more crunchy/brittle version. It was delicious. You can tell the nuts were super high quality and the simple syrup was syrupy as it's their signature. Seasoned Pitas, I picked the ones with dried tomato powder and chilli flakes, it went perfectly with my hummus. Beef Falafel Platter, Comes with Garlic sauce, Hummus, sliced tomato, gerghkins, Beef was seasoned and very lean underneath a pita. (They didn't have rice at that time and I was ok with that). Just a heads up, they were super nice, please be patient as English is not their first language, also it took a some time for them to gather all my items. Street parking available and they are located right next door to the famous Hawkers Delight.

The baklavas are really good - not just single dimensionally sweet. The nutty flavours appeared in every bite. The chicken platter, however, was super disappointing. The chicken lacked flavour, the rice was swimming in a pool of oil and the pita bread tasted like it was just slapped on from a grocery store purchase. Overall: saddened by the experience. I will go back for their baked goods.

I had sausage and cabbage rolls combo. First of all, I had a confusion between the menu and picture…read morebecause number of cabbage rolls didn't match. Correct answer was 4. A Sausage, 4 cabbage rolls, coleslaw and sour cream. The owner told me I was the first person who asked and he didn't noticed the mistake even he ran the business few years. Really?? Sausage was alright. Nothing special. I loved their cabbage rolls. Brown rice with lots herbs and Tomato sauce on top. I used to buy cabbage roll from Ukranian authodox church but this food truck one had more flavor. Delicious. And I'm glad they use brown rice for it.

Focacciaza caught my eye as there was a small line up and parasol set up outside their industrial kitchen space in Strathcona. That, and did I mention I was starving? The offerings are simple: loaded focaccia (garden / cheese / toppings), a soup, grilled cheese, and daily meat or veg sandwich. I left the specifics to Focacciaza and asked for the meat sandwich; I was told it was roast beef today - perfect, I'm not super picky but it sounded wholesome. Bread was moist and light, but hearty enough for the fillings: roast beef, pickled onions, spinach, smear of mayo. Seasoning was perfect - I demolished that sandwich without actually picking it apart so I apologize if I missed anything / added anything lol Delicious enough that I will stop by again if I were in the area, perhaps on a cooler day for soup and a grilled cheese, or the loaded focaccia! A little pricey considering no seating / takeout only and limited options, hence four stars.

Perfect dough, moist, good texture but your jaw is not tiring lol and so much flavour in it! I really liked their The Garden. Lots of herbs and pest sauce over it.

Healthy, GF and canola oil free The hot dish with 3 fillings are the way to go if you can't figure out what to have. The Thai cashew cauli wings taste exactly like deep fried wings smothered with bbq sauce. Large crispy morsels. Then there's the Korean bulgogi and Chinese mapo tofu. The flavours will meld together nicely on a bed of rice. Miso rice apparently but I can't taste the miso in it. The kale salad on the side was dressed with a creamy dressing. Kale needed some slicing as it's rather hard to chew through large thick leaves and the dressing needed to be massaged into the salad. Other than that, the meal was filling and absolutely delicious. The service was A-fantastic too.

I also got the "beef" bulgogi bowl and it was not too bad but a little bit bland and the soy mince had a weird sweet flavour that I wasn't a fan of. The side salad and avocadoes were really good and the portion was large and filling but I reccomend the fried cauli more than the bulgogi!

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!

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.
