Kogi Korean BBQ food truck
I've been wanting to try this Kogi BBQ for a long time, and I finally did. It's the most popular food truck in Los Angeles. Usually you have to wait in line for hours, but we were lucky that we didn't have to. They sell Korean flavor tacos and burritos. Both were really flavorful. Also they look like small portions, but they were pretty filling. If you are eating their tacos outside, make sure you have wipes, it's pretty messy.
Short-rib burrito, $5
Kogi tacos (1 spicy pork, 1 tofu, 2 Korean short ribs) $2 each
Our favorite was the spicy pork. Very tasty and we loved it. Short ribs are fine, tofu was ok, but I wish the tofu had more flavor.

Way overrated in my opinion, consider how long I waited the first time I went to try them. When I finally got to order my food after two hours of wait, my first thought was "this is it?"
ReplyDeleteI think they really benefited from the Newsweek magazine's profile piece on them (which was how I found them back in early '09, a few months after they started) and their use of twitter. Their popularity is really derive from their "hip" factor rather than their quality of food.
Their food is good, but not good enough to warrant a long wait. One of their trucks comes near where I live every Friday/Saturday night. I usually drive by and check it out. If there is a line, I'll just leave and go to In-N-Out or King Taco.
yeah..they are good but if I have to wait more than 15 min, then I won't.
