I’m Korean and the bulgogi was blah.
I was very disappointed. I think they make better bulgogi at Cafe Duke.

Mixing Korean food with American food is just weird!

I tried the bulgogi here (not in bun or taco) and it was ok. Probably better than the original Bulgogi Cart on 49th and $1 cheaper. However, the kalbi at the Bulgogi Cart is very good (though in fairness have not tried the kalbi at the new Korean cart). Glad to have two options right in front of my office! Thanks for the service ML!

Just tried the Korean tacos. They are good and extremely spicy. A bit too many oninons. There are two primary problems with this cart. First, the tacos are way too expensive. Two tacos cost $6, but i feel like i would need 2-3 more just to feel satisfied (not even full). Second, the guys who run the cart are pretty slow. You can tell by watching them that they don’t have a good system in place to assemble the meals.

I’m going out later for a hot dog, which costs $5. All in, i will have shelled out $11 for two tacos and one hot dog. They need to lower their prices or increase quantity…

Zach, that cross section photo of the hot dog is OBSCENE (in that “I want to eat it right NOW” way). Mmmm. I keep staring at it, then remember it’s gochujang and not ketchup, and cringe because I think my face would burn off from that. lol. Mmmm. Damn it!

Wow, samonella is just another few extra trips to the bathroom (hopefully only bathroom).

Went for the hotdog/bulgogi and the bulgogi platter (sold out on tacos dammit).

Hot dot and sauce drowned out the flavor of bulgogi, hot dog was too big (mine wasn’t split either). I would go with a skinnier, fatter hot dog, like a regular nathans. Platter beef was a tad drier than expected, but the flavor was there, veggies were crisp.

Hot Korean hot sauce had just the right amount of heat. Salad came with bottled caesar dressing on it.

All in all the food was “as expected”, wouldn’t call it a favorite by any means, but a once-a-month kinda place for something different.

On a business note, they are really slow, still need to get in the groove of this cart business, and they use the same kitchen tongs for everything (handling frozen chicken and cooked pieces… big no no, but i still ate it anyway). The rice spatula accidentally hit the frozen chicken in the pan a few times as well.

judging from the pictures alone the tacos do not look very tasty to me. im more willing to try the hot dog but what’s up with the scraps of lettuce on the side?
