One of the newer food trucks in the city is Okadaman. If you’re not acquainted with them, Chef Okada, who’s visage graces the side of the truck, has created delicious recipes for okonomiyaki, Japanese fried chicken and takoyaki.

NY Food Truck Lunch: Galbi Combo From Bapcha Food Cart

You constantly hear about the new breed of Korean food trucks, who mix Korean and Mexican influences. What you don’t hear about as often are the old-school Korean street food carts, such as Bapcha.

NY Food Truck Lunch: Beef Chosun Bowl From Korilla BBQ

The beef was tasty, with the sweet mirin-type marinade very apparent. There was also a nice grilled flavor to the meat.

NY Food Truck Lunch: Thukpa & Shrimp Momos From Chinese Mirch Truck

The thukpa came in a quart-size container filled with noodles, veggies, soup/stew and momos. I say soup/stew because you could describe thukpa as either. The menu says stew, but I consider this to be more of a thick soup.

NY Food Truck Lunch: Lentil Quinoa Wrap From The Green Pirate Juice Truck

The wrap was pretty substantial, stuffed with all sorts of goodies. In addition to the lentils and quinoa named in the dish title, there was avocado, carrot, tomato, spinach and cucumber.

NY Food Truck Lunch: Feta & Summer Squash Sandwich Fom The Morris Truck

The sandwich was served on 7-grain bread, but I’ll have to take their word for it. I didn’t actually count the grains. It toasted up real nice, and was strong enough to hold chunky veggies without a problem.

NY Food Truck Lunch: Chicago Dog & Avocado Fries From Snap

New Yorkers may not be familiar with Chicago Dogs, so let’s walk through one. An all-beef hot dog shares the bun with mustard, relish, onions, a pickle spear, tomato wedges, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt.

NY Food Truck Lunch: Chicken Brochette Sandwich From Bistro Truck

One thing I like about Bistro Truck is you can get a fancy meal such as chicken tajine or lump crab cakes with couscous, but you can also get a great sandwich.

NY Food Truck Lunch: Broccoli & Cheese Baked Potato From Baked Potato King

The menu had about 10 different varieties of stuffed baked potatoes such as broccoli & cheese, spinach & cheese, sour cream & chives, bacon bits & cheese, and even a spinach & low-fat cottage cheese for dieters.

NY Food Truck Lunch: Fort Greene Sandwich From Food Freaks Grilled Cheese

The Fort Greene sandwich is made with sourdough bread, fontinella cheese, avocado slices, pieces of slab bacon, and a cilantro spread. This was an excellent combination of ingredients that played off each other well.

NY Food Truck Dessert: Andy’s Italian Ices

Andy’s Italian Ices are handmade, and have far fewer calories and fat than ice cream. They have water ice, creme ice, and even some sugar-free flavors made with agave syrup.

NY Food Truck Lunch: Latin Beef Bowl From Blend Express

The rice was good, but I thought the black beans were even better. The beans were cooked but still firm, and with some cojita cheese sprinkled on, they were quite tasty (and healthy).

NY Food Truck Lunch: Chicken Shish Kebab Platter From Ambizza Cafe Truck

Each kebab had 5 pieces of marinated, cubed chicken, so 2 kebabs plus rice (hidden under the chicken), hummus, babaganoosh and a pita bread is plenty for lunch. You can also get a sandwich for $5.
