BTW – Neither of these carts are here today. I was going to go, but went to Sabor instead.

Funny because before I read the bottom comparison, I looked at the pictures and thought “I hate mixed greens/mesclun salads generally” and picked the FAIL one. Then I thought I was silly because who picks the cart they go to based on the free side they get with the meal? THEN I realized… me. lol. Great write up.

Nice review. I’ve had both but not side by side.

In kbbq’s defense, I do like their korean tacos. Mostly cause it is different than anything else. But you almost need two orders to get full. The bulgogi hot dog I have passed on. A co- worker didn’t think it worked.

i’d pay $2 more and get the bulgogi from cafe duke.

i can also say w/ a pretty high confidence a kalbi review between the two carts would be identical to what is above.

Great review! Eating salad drenched in Italian dressing with bulgogi would confuse my tastebuds, I think… =)

@ mkim – Kimchi is $1 extra at the Bulgogi & Kimchi cart, but I didn’t want to offend my co-workers too much with the smell. The red sauce was a slightly watered down ssamjang (I think they had to water it down so it would work with a squeeze bottle). The orange things were sauteed bell peppers.

@ MikeNYC – I’m guessing that gender had something to do with it. The two dudes running the Korean BBQ truck looked pretty battle hardened. However, the Happy Well Being House was staffed by by two ladies, so I guess they would have been easier to intimidate.

Why can KBBQ stay, but Happy Well Being had to leave almost the exact same spot?

Please come back, Happy Well Being cart.

I’m definitely going to have to try these now (at least B&K)…I’ve walked by both carts dozens of times but never took the plunge. Thanks for the great review.
