Chipsy King

Ordered: Fries with rosemary garlic mayo
Pros– The fries were freshly prepared and had a nice mix of potato-​y and crispy ones. They had a decent sauce variety, including pesto mayo and a mango chutney sauce. This was pretty much a Pommes Frites (truck) knockoff.
Cons– The rosemary flavor wasn’t that strong. They only had one size option, large. The menu was on a tv-​type screen so the sun glare made it hard to read. The tv-​type screen also switched slides so there wasn’t a consistent menu to look at.

Fries 3.5 stars — inconsistent and dirty, but has personality, and there are some that brilliant and some that are soggy
Salting 1 star — way too salty on certain parts and weak on other parts
Dips 3 star — the basic Belgian mayo is okay. no other sauces were available ‘cept ketchup
Menu 1 star — LCD display was broken
Price 1 star — unjustifiably high for the quality
Since Pomme Frites is closed, better go to La Frite for better fries for the price.

I am reading other reviews and surprised to hear people said the portions were huge? I ate my order (which was $ 8, not $ 7) no problem, it was NOT huge. The fries were good but they were room temperature. Totally not worth the price! This truck is not comparable to Pomme Frites. Should have had a piece of pizza for half the price instead…

Totally second Mike A. here. Overpriced. Poorly executed (undercooked fries, while this is supposed to be their forte). Poor service. Unclear menu and prices.
They dared to serve me cold fries the first time around must have been sitting there for at least half an hour. Come on dudes, wtf?
Finally, my sauce looked pretty gross: dried up pieces of old mayo lumps. Come on dudes, wtf?

RIDDLED WITH FALSE ADVERTISING!
This truck has a digital menu that moves way too fast. It shows on their sign Visa, MasterCard, etc though APPARENTLY it’s cash only. Thanks for wasting my time durig my twenty minute break between classes to get food.

$ 7 for a cone of fries that come with their special sauces. Note: ketchup is free. This place is very similar to Pomme Frites, the only difference is that Chispy King is a food truck, so they don’t have an actual location. Chipsy King happened to stop in front of Brooklyn College’s campus, so after a workout at the gym, my friends and I decided to get fat again. ^.^ but, $ 7 for fries… eh, I’m still iffy about that. Really, you’re coming here for the sauces. The experience was worth it, but for the overall price, it’s just hype.

HANDS DOWN BEST FRIES EVER. The rosemary garlic sauce is really what makes the fries so delicious. great snack! It costs $ 7 which might seem pretty steep for french fries… but share it with a friend. if that’s the case.

I love them… The pesto sauce are so yum~~ :)

Worst… menu…ever.
Middling quality and value, terrible experience.
Fries are ok (not great, not bad), but too big and expensive; don’t know about sauces and condiments because they were out of most; menu, however, is *terrible*.
Main item is «fries + sauce, $ 7», so your choice is «which sauce?». Sauces are listed on a flickering LCD menu half the time (useless screens the rest of the time), so if you miss it… you need to wait.
Here’s how my visit went:
CK: You want fries boss?
«Yeah, give me a second.»
(waits for sauce list to come around)
«I’ll have the parmesan pepper.»
CK: Don’t have it.
«Ok, give me another second.»
(waits for sauce list to come around again)
«I’ll have the blue cheese.»
CK: Actually, no cheese today.
«Ok, wait.»
(waits for sauce list to come around yet again)
«Do you have the rosemary mayo?»
CK: Yes.
«I’ll have that.»
«Could I also get the raw onions you list?»
CK: None today.
«Here’s my credit card.» (listed on menu)
CK: Cash only.
So: menu is illegible and completely wrong: many items are unavailable, and they say they take credit cards, but don’t.
What they need to fix:
* Add a small size, say $ 4 or $ 5.
* Print out the sauce list (or include on every screen of LCD).
* Remove the credit cards from menu, or take credit cards like the rest of the world.
* Write «Sold out of X, Y, and Z» on a piece of paper when they are sold out of X, Y, and Z.

I am a HUGE fan of fries and sauces. Huge. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. These fries were REALLY good, the taste and quality was simply amazing. However, $ 7 for fries? I wish they had 2 sizes, because 1, I couldn’t finish it and 2, $ 7 for fresh from a cart is steep. I tried 3 sauces, garlic mayo, spicy Mexican ketchup and a dill mayo, they were okay — nothing amazing. I hope they come out with more sauces, and different sizes for the fries.
BTW, the screen displaying the sauces was horrible, because it kept changing so quick. Oh, and I didn’t even know they sold calamari or shrimp, I guess I must have missed the sign. They should work on that screen and signs. And, if they do sell calamari and shrimp, they should have some sort of a combo platter instead of $ 7 for fries plus more $$ for shrimp or calamari.

I ran into this truck on my lunch break and had to try the fries and they were great! I had them with the rosemary garlic mayo and was pleasantly satisfied. I would’ve preferred if there was more than one size because I paid $ 7 and didn’t even finish them, nevertheless, great quick bite!

It was a really nice summer afternoon yesterday, and I decided to grab a little treat and have a seat in the park.
Chipsy King was parked just off of 6^th ave, so I gave it a shot.
It was really good! Fries are just as good as Pommes Frites. Twice fried, crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside and lightly salted. Not greasy at all. I had the garlic rosemary mayo with mine and it was fantastic.
The portion is pretty big for $ 7. I split the treat with my wife, and it was a perfect snack for two.
I agree with another reviewer… slow down the menu screen! It switches slides so fast you can’t read the whole list of sauces.

Fries are okay… pretty good, but ‘pretty good’ fries are easy to make. And very few places charge you $ 7 for one serving. The sauces are good but these fries just don’t make the cut.
Also, not sure what Philippe B’s review is about. They didn’t offer seafood when I was there… just fries and drinks.

Just went to their truck in Midtown on my lunch break with high hopes. Left pretty pissed off (even with my fries in hand).
First of all, the screen says they take credit card. Just to be safe, I asked. He said they didn’t, so I popped over to the ATM down the street.
When I returned, I decided to check out the sauces. The LCD screen switches images so quickly, it took 3 times around to finally read them all. I finally chose a sauce and ordered my fries. The man took my money, then told me they didn’t have the sauce and kept pushing the rosemary mayo on me (which wasn’t really what I wanted). So, I offered three more options and he had none. So, I took the rosemary mayo and asked for my change… but he was out of change. I waited 10 minutes for him to go to the next-​door truck for change. Dude, your fries are $ 7. BE READY TO GIVE CHANGE.
Apparently, this is an issue for them, as I see the same complaint in other reviews here. I should also mention they don’t have the fresh juices they list on their menu. Maybe that’s why the screen moves so quickly?
And in the end, the fries were just OK.

Good seafood, nice presentation, beautiful truck.
Food: 4.5 Stars
I have only tried the calamari (with some fries), but I can easily say that I am a fan. Everything from my perspective is fresh and made to order.
The calamari was cooked perfectly and some even had the ever so delicious tentacles, which is something most restaurants remove, or don’t serve at all. I loves the crunch each bite of the calamari made as I was eating them.
The fries were still crisp as well, even though they sweated a bit with the heat of the calamari on the way back.
The quantity of calamari wasn’t large, but for $ 7 it was worth it. Next time I see this truck, I will be trying the shrimp which goes for $ 9.
Service: 4.5 Stars
After seeing no line for this truck I decided to approach and ask what they had since I had never seen them before (even though there are multiple signs saying its fries, fish, calamari, and shrimp). The gentleman in the truck was more than happy (quickly though) to explain what they had and gave me recommendations on which sauces I should try.
I understand that it is normal for someone to explain their product, but people do respond better when they perceive their responses to be more sincere and caring of the product in question.
The presentation of the cones the food is served in is a big plus as well.
Speed: 4 Stars
Even though I was the only person on the line at the time (1:30ish) I received my food within 5 minutes. I would normally assume that they are serving me frozen calamari, but I saw the cook (chef) put flour on the calamari himself and fry it. Needless to say he knew what he doing since the calamari was perfectly cooked.
Overall: 4.25 Stars
I never heard of Chipsy King until today and I am happy that most other trucks had ridiculously long lines so I could try them out.
I am unsure if $ 7 for fries is worth it, but they were rather good and crunchy.
The catchiest part of this truck is the colors and the original look, not to mention the tulips they had one the side (first time I have ever seen flowers at a food truck). They also have a little lineup of cones they put the food in with a piece of carrot, lemon wedge and parsley. They give off a fresh vibe to the truck.
The service was good, the calamari was great. I highly recommend giving them a go if you see them in the area.

The portion was huge and I think for $ 7 its well worth it — plus you get unlimited choices of sauce!
I liked this food truck’s «look» — compared to other food trucks this one looked modern and clean. It also had a little stand where you can put down your french fries and enjoy it near the cart. We found this in Soho so the convenience was a big plus too.
The fries were fresh from the fryer, crispy salty on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. We got the rosemary garlic and sundried tomato sauce but there are at least a dozen sauces to choose from — decisions, decisions, decisions! Overall I liked the garlic one more than the tomato — somehow rosemary in my opinion goes very well with potatoes. It was creamy and garlic and perfect. But the fries are flavorful enough to eat on its own as well. The two of us managed to eat ½ of the huge cone before giving up. So definitely worth your $$.

French fries are my favorite food ever and these French fries are DELICIOUS! 5 stars for the food. I loved how even the fries at the bottom of the cone were whole (at Pomme Frites, it’s often just the little bits in the end) and not too soggy.
I didn’t think $ 7 was too much. I split it with a friend (which is definitely what you should do because it’s a huge portion…), so it’s only $ 3.50 each.
I’m taking a star off because they were insanely slow and inefficient. The line was a little long. It really should not be that hard to dole out French fries, but they ran out of change and they didn’t have one of the main «free» sauces. I was mildly annoyed until I tasted the fries… and they’re totally worth it.

Tasty fries and sauces. Marco behind the counter is a sweetheart. However, I’m knocking off a couple stars because there’s only ONE size. Wish there were a smaller and less expensive option.

4 for flavor, 2 for value.
Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t pay $ 7 for French fries, not even for these yummy, well-​seasoned fritters. There are too many other food trucks in the neighborhood offering tasty fries for what they’re worth (about $ 2). That said, the fries are hot and tasty and the sauces (especially the rosemary garlic) are flavorful. Truth be told, if priced at a more reasonable $ 4 – 5, I’d probably purchase once a week. Unfortunately, they’re overpriced and my brain just can’t get around what seems like a completely unsubstantiated price point for the snack.
However, with its high starch and fat content, Chipsy King fries are bona fide mood altering deliciousness. So if you’re having a bad day — the IT guy in the office with the «Peter Pan meets Napoleon» syndrome screws your mood, your boss throws you under the bus to save himself, or the first day of fall brings with it a marathon run in your pantyhose — under these irritating circumstances, Chipsy King saves the day.

Saw this truck and passed by it but the boyfriend wanted to give it a try.
While looking at the menu to see what they got I saw that they offered different dipping sauces for your fries.
The sauces seemed interesting so we brought one order of fries to share which came out to 7 $, we also got the rosemary garlic and pesto mayo which came out to a dollar. So altogether our fries with sauces were 8 $.
When we got our order, it was served in a cone shaped bag. The fries were super hot and potato-​y. At first I was like Mmm… it’s pretty okay but as I kept eating it I wasn’t impressed. The fries were too soft and potato-​y, they weren’t crispy at all :(
As for the sauces… they were alright. The rosemary garlic was too garlic-​y and I didn’t taste or smell any rosemary at all. And the pesto mayo… just tasted like mayo. At first I wasn’t even able to tell what sauce was what. But then I remembered we got the rosemary GARLIC .
If the fries were crispy maybe they would had earned a star from me but they were just plain soggy. My boyfriend and I didn’t even want to finish it.
I thought the fries were supposed to be Belgian-​style, meaning fried twice… either that’s how chipsy king fries are or we just happened to get a soggy bag of fries …
