Arrived around 11:55 AM on a Friday, was able to order right away and received my food in 8 minutes. Kimchi Sesame Steak plate was $13 and I was able to pay via Venmo. Shoutout to Dorjee for his incredible hospitality and ability to remember everyone's orders. The food was delicious and the portion was just right for the price. Will definitely be back for lunch!

Read great things so decided to try it. Long line though fast moving (lunch time), & there was a short - wait nothing ridiculous. The person taking orders was kind and patient with those before and me when I got my turn to order. Staple of Steak Frites was ordered and got it about 10 short minutes later. My steak was tuff almost too tough. Basically like gum. But, it may be due to having ordered it medium. I will try again and let them choose how to cook it. Otherwise, as with other reviews here, friendly and relatively quick service... & astonishing he is able to remember everyone's order and call out to you while looking at you. Amazing! I suspect the next time I go my steak will be better. I will update this review then.

"It's not gonna blow your mind, it's not gonna leave you unsatisfied, but what this dish *will do* is serve as a benchmark for future foodcart food." $13 for steak over rice with delicious and aromatic sauce and steak tenderness and texture that even beats out low quality steak houses is AMAZING. This is my favorite food cart granted there's never much of a line for how delicious it is. You'll feel like you've got every penny's worth with the items served at Steak Freak. My favorite is the Steak Basil - the basil and peppers make for a nice aromatic flavor that helps cut and complement the juicy fattiness of the steak. The steak is honestly prepared so well that you can't even tell that it *might be* market bought grade steak. Overall, a well balanced food cart that's nothing short of outstanding. Been here so many times and will keep coming back.

Been going to this truck usually 2 times per week for the past 3 years (in good times and in bad)...and just realized that they're on Yelp.  It's right off of 6th ave, westward on 50th - Mon thru Fri lunch only.  I've tried mostly everything except for the noodles and I can say that the quality is very consistent, which keeps me going back. One of my favorites is the honey glazed chicken platter.  The rice platters come with your choice of white or brown rice, a salad along with 2 types of sauces on the side (an herb/dill white sauce and a very lightly spiced french-type dressing).  Note: there's only 1 type of salad dressing...a light vinaigrette-ish dressing which is just right..but you can add on the aforementioned sauces.  The chunks of chicken are pretty big and the sauce is just sweet enough to contrast with the siracha, which you can request on the side. My favorite of all, which is in the pic, is the #2 sesame beef with kimchi, which you can request to leave out if you're not into kimchi  The beef is sliced flank steak never overcooked and most times medium!  It's never tough and most times has some slices with juicy fat left on.  The marinade is a lightly sugared soy which, like the honey glazed chicken above, perfectly contrasts with the siracha sauce, which you can request if you like some spice. Imo, most food trucks don't come close to the level of taste and quality coming from Steakfreak...and, I might add, some restaurants too!

I got the Steak Basil with brown rice ($11), which comes with salad already. It is on the sweet side because of the sweet 'dressing' that they put over the meat. However, you can really taste the basil. I was on the fence between 4 and 5 stars, but for a filling lunch, this is great value so upped it to a 5. The food here leans into Asian/Chinese flavors - curious to try the chicken dishes, but the steak here was medium rare, tender, and flavorful.

This place gets 5 stars for the bang for the buck element. Look, this place isn't Peter Luger. It's a food truck. Not sure why anyone would expect getting some kind of dry aged beef action here. However, for what you pay for, you get some juicy, tender meat that is extremely generous in quantity IMO. Couple that with some rice and salad and you have a pretty solid lunch. The basil steak I tried was terrific. It was flavorful, juicy and worth the really reasonable price tag. The cajun fries were also great. Nicely fried, well seasoned (but not overwhelming) and you get a lot for the $3 you pay. In terms of value/bang for the buck = it's a no-brainer, for what you pay for you definitely get some serious amounts of grub that actually tastes solid. Again, this isn't some Michelin star steakhouse. It's a (way) above average food truck that does a fine job of cooking some flavorful meat! Great stuff and I was glad I was nearby to try it out. Will definitely return again when I'm in the area.

Steak Freak is an awesome food truck specializing in chopped steak and chicken rice bowls (as well as noodles, but past few times I've tried to order they weren't available). I've gotten the steak basil and kimchi sesame steak and either option does the trick for a tasty easy lunch. The bowls are $12 and comes with a good amount of food (rice, veggie salad slaw, meat) and white and orange sauces on side if you like. All in all, not much to say except that Steak Freak is one of the handful of solid, affordable, midtown weekday lunch options.

Really good value for a steak lunch around ~$12 each! We got the steak frites and basil steak. The basil steak was a little more interesting and had more flavor, though there was less steak. The steak frites was as you would expect and it comes with 2 dipping sauces for the fries. Good lunch if you're in the area!

Great food truck, we came during the lunch rush so had to wait a little while. Doesn't take card payment, only cash so I ended up having to zelle the guy! But the food was delicious! We had the kimchi sesame steak, honey chicken and chicken masala. The steak was very tender, loved the rice and salad. The bowls don't look that big but fit a good amount of food in them. I could pass on the honey chicken but the masala was very good, tender chicken, great sauce - rich, sweet.

I don't think you can find a better lunch spot than this place. For a hefty portion of steak and fries, at such a cheap price, I'd probably come here every day. The owner is a nice Asian man, very sweet. The steak can be the slightest bit bland but it's nothing that's going to stop me from coming here. I was so full half way through. You can split it into two meals. We went to go sit near the fountain, it was so nice. Go give this place a try.

I was listening to No Doubt Don't Speak And I had it on multi-repeat Not the biggest of crimes But it played 15 times Before my name was called by Steak Freak Long wait time, but the same could be said about trying to get a dinner-and-sex date with me (and I don't even do just dinner anymore so don't ask). My first food of the day came at a food truck which was pretty interesting. It's called Steak Freak (lol whatever) and it's really popular and has a very long wait time. The best thing about the place is the guy working here. He's super friendly and a good guy and no matter how many people are waiting he always remembers everyone's order and the order to serve them in. I liked him so I gave him a dollar tip even though the food was $9 which at the time I thought was a little crazy until I went down the street to Yumpling the dumpling place, and realized that Midtown food trucks be expensive and stingy as hell if they're not Halal Carts. Welcome to the modern era. I don't have a whole lot of good stuff to say about the food. The steak tasted okay but it probably should considering how people are raving about it. The salad wasn't bad. The rice was definitely the chalky not very professional kind. They said they had only brown rice left, and ew. Based on this, I don't think they should even be serving it. If it wasn't for the super friendly guy I probably give them three stars but it's not the most expensive food truck (while not being cheap) and they do put a lot of effort into it and the guy is incredibly nice so four stars is fine. The steak tastes good too... but not nearly as great as los reviewos suggestos.

Five stars for a food truck. My first time here today for lunch at the recommendation of a co-worker. I ordered the Chicken Manchurian with brown rice. This is not your typical sweet and sour chicken. This chicken has a nice tang and a lot of kick to it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The portion size was quite large - abut five to six big chunks of chicken on top of a big bed of rice. The dish also comes with a bit of salad. They offer a white and red dressing sauce on the side - I quite liked the red sauce (a bit like a French thousand island spicy dressing). I will definitely go back as I would like to try the chicken Masala next time.

Got lucky and lines were pretty short around 12:30 on a Wed. The cart is on 50th street and 6th, on 50th going toward Times Square at the end of a row of a few other food carts. Ordered the Kimchi Sesame Steak ($9) and glad I did. Food didn't take much longer than any other cart to prepare, meat portion was large and delicious, not over cooked. You're also able to order them with brown rice instead of white. Kimchi was great also, and nice and spicy. Will definitely check out more stuff from here as I order them.
