Kim’s Dragon Asian Food Truck

Stopped by here at around 12:45 on a weekday. I was first drawn to the good truck because of the line — surely if so many people were waiting for it, it must be good. Ordered tofu & vegetables with spicy sauce, and ended up waiting about fifteen minutes to get my food. I expected that though, primarily due to the number of people in line.
The dish was surprisingly bland, despite the name of my order. I added soy sauce and hot sauce, which naturally made it a bit more flavorful. Still, I was disappointed with the quality of the food. Although I know some Asian food trucks tend to skimp on quality, I was hoping that this would be an exception. Sadly, this food truck did not live up to my expectations.
Then again, I did only pay $ 4.50 for my meal. Being in a city with so many food trucks, I suppose I am spoiled by the quality/​price ratio! It was a simple meal and filled me up, despite not being the tastiest or healthiest. I would not come back again, but I do see the perks of having quick, cheap Asian food for lunch.

I can’t believe this place has never been reviewed, given how popular and how long the truck as been here. This is one of the staple trucks at 31^st and Ludlow, and serves up passably decent Asian food for a truck. The sauces they use are very bold and flavorful and the vegetables are fresh. There are some major issues, however. One, is that they often put too much sauce and oil in the dishes, and the bed of rice on which the stir fry dishes sit are almost swimming in oil and too salty. The chicken sometimes tastes a little strange, most likely because they are all weird dark meat cuts, though I haven’t gotten sick from it. Finally, recently I’ve been asking for extra vegetables in the dishes which is a good deal for $ 0.75 extra, but the lady at the counter has continuously ignored my requests even when I double check with her. She doesn’t charge me for it, at least. I’m very confused.
To summarize, a good Asian meal every once in a while on the oiler, saltier side of things.
