"Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day..." so I can stay dry while heading out to look for food from a truck. The rainy day, combined with what seems like a whole lotta trucks in the shop, made for a light selection of trucks out and about today. Luckily, Kimchi BBQ Taco had quietly pulled in to Farragut Square for a soft opening. The attractive truck is serving the widest variety of Korean food to date from a truck in DC:
I'm trying to decide between 3 & 3.5 honks, but will be generous on their first day out. Plus, if Yellow Vendor, AZNeats, and this guy were lined up in front of me, Kimchi BBQ wins, so I suppose it makes sense to drop them in at 3.5 honks in the review (with pic) in the first post:
Kimchi BBQ Taco (@KimchiBBQ on Twitter) -- First meal on their first day and pretty decent... It took forever, although they weren't really ready yet to take orders (at 11:53!) and ordering was challenged by the horrendously loud noises the various power generating devices created. (A regular portable generator sitting outside, the running truck, plus something else involved with their propane tank under the truck I think.) BUT, the food worked. For $8, I got a bulgogi box (Kogi) which came with a scoop of white rice, a salad, and a choice of two dumplings. The meat was flavorful and well trimmed. Meanwhile, the pre-packaged pork dumpling was substantially better than the kimchi one though both were in desperate need of some sort of sauce. Then, like AZNeats, they only had sriracha. No gochujang, which continues to be a bummer when Korean trucks don't have any on board. However, a notable highlight was the salad dressing. It's a traditional Asian-style miso dressing done quite well. There are plenty of other interesting options available on the menu, so I'll be back to check them out soon; hopefully whatever I order will come with a salad so I can get some more of that delicious dressing.
