| - Disclaimer: I'm rating this establishment as a food truck. Of course it can't compare to certain establishments that offer a dine in experience, but the food is excellent for the price (You can get a very satisfying meal for less than 10 bucks), so I'm rating it as such.
So I've been a patron of this place for a year or so, since I've discovered its existence. I've brought many people here and all of the people have raved about it.
Since I've tried every burger on its "regular" menu, I figured this is a good time to review. Sadly, I'm trying to recall memories from months ago for certain burgers and foods, so I can't completely describe the euphoria in detail, but I'll do my best. At the very most, take my following words as suggestions.
Lucky Burger: This is their standard burger. It combines the taste of the fuku-patty with the flavors that remind me of In-n-out. Don't get me wrong, it's not a copy-cat burger. The fuku-patty is what makes all the difference. It's a marinated marvel that is tender and melts in your mouth, and it's standard in all of their beef burgers.
Tamago Burger: This is an interesting burger. It combines the classic fuku-patty with crispy onion strings, egg, and terriyaki sauce. This probably one of the messier burgers, since the egg is not completely cooked through (sunny side up). It's still a good burger, but I tend to avoid it because it's incredibly messy. This is definitely one of their heavier burgers.
Buta Burger: This burger is for the bacon-heads. The pickled ginger adds a special kick that isn't overpowering, but blends nicely with the miso bacon and fuku-patty. Admittedly, it's hard to taste the miso on the bacon, so don't expect too much out of it. But it's bacon, it makes everything better.
Kinoko Burger: Otherwise known as the mushroom burger, it is a slightly lighter burger. Mushrooms are good, if you like mushrooms. I happen to like a mushrooms, so if I'm feeling slightly guilty about going, I pick this burger.
Karai Burger: So, admittedly, I'm a little desensitized to extremely spicy foods, so this is actually a medium spicy burger to me. This is also a lighter burger, so if I want a little spicy kick, I'll pick this burger.
Chicken Katsu: It uses fried chicken! It's amazing. It uses a panako crust as the breading, which is a type of breading that is lighter than traditional breading but fries crisp and delicious. The combination of the sauce and the shredded lettuce gives the impression that you've got a bento box in between the buns.
Fries: there's the classic garlic fries, and the jazz fries. The garlic fries are amazing in their own right due, and you can dip them in the included cup of crack sauce for an amazing synergy. If you like eating fries with the fork, there's the jazz fries. They're basically the same garlic fries with brown gravy and the crack sauce dumped on top. I'm pretty much sold on the jazz fries.
There is also a burger that's off-menu that I haven't ordered in a while, but supposedly was mentioned in an earlier yelp review that I tried. it's the "Fat Hakujin". It's a two patty monstrosity that combines cheese, egg, and bacon and some other stuff that will probably contribute to a ride to the nearest ER one day. If you're brave, have great family genetics, or are REALLY hungry, try it. It's still delicious.
Strawberry Lemonade is fresh and it's good! I always order one when I come. Apparently it's made fresh daily and mixed in this huge igloo cooler. Unfortunately, no refills with purchase.
So food's great, how's service? It's pretty good for a food truck (obviously my expectations aren't high), but the people are courteous when I'm there. Of course, order to mouth times vary depending on how busy they are. But if they're not busy, generally it's about 5-6 minutes tops. But the sky is the limit if they're busy.
Probably fair warning is that there is extremely limited seating. Seats are either a portable bench table, or a bunch of Home Depot buckets. I tend to see tailgate parties if someone drives their pick up truck over or SUV/station wagon.
This food does not do terribly well when you take it home. The flavor is still all there and good, but the textures start to fail, especially when the meat juices completely soak into the bun and the fries get soggy when wrapped in tin-foil. It's best when you eat it within a few minutes of receiving from the truck window. Just fair warning.
Probably my only gripe is their typical business hours is 8pm 'til late. I generally like to have my dinner eaten and finished before 7, so it becomes fairly difficult to justify a 16-20 minute drive from my place to wherever they happen to be. But if I have visitors, or I just happen to be in the area (or if they're doing some daytime event somewhere) I'll stop on by. As far as keeping a schedule and tracking them down, they're a lot easier than some other trucks that service the Valley.
