First Look At The Moo Shu Grill Truck
As we reported earlier in the month, Moo Shu Grill has replaced the Fishing Shrimp truck. The new truck has been in Midtown every day this week, giving ML’ers plenty of opportunities to try them out. I stopped by earlier in the week hoping to try the Peking duck moo shu that they had tweeted about.
Unfortunately, by the time I got to the truck at about 12:45, they were out of it. Instead I ordered a basil chicken, an XOXO beef and a tofu moo shu for $9. When I opened my container back at the office, I realized I got two chickens and a steak, so I didn’t get to try the tofu.
Or, maybe I got lucky! Both the steak and the chicken were extremely flavorful, and the moo shu wraps filled the container. These aren’t the mostly shredded cabbage moo shu that you find at many Chinese restaurants in the city. Instead, there is mostly meat in these, topped with pickled carrots and daikon, one cucumber stick and some hoisin sauce. I would order both again.
Moo Shu Grill often parks in Midtown, but of course you should check their twitter for a exact location before heading out to find them.

Alternatively, if you prefer MSG from 2004 like I do: Straight Out Of Canton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWitHlctipE

nice! 9 bucks actually seems pretty reasonable for three moo shu wraps, especially as you say, they’re low on filler cabbage and mostly protein

I think all the carts/trucks must know who you guys are. Every time you folks say something is packed with meat or goodies, I always have a different experience myself. I went yesterday (before having read this article), and tried the chicken, pork, and beef. Sure, they were tasty and fill the container, but the container is small, and I was still pretty hungry afterwards.
Maybe I’m just a fatty.

I think its time this gets a full review, or at least an updated review. They offer rice bowls now, and the sticky rice is plain awesome. The meats are flavorful, but they’re always out of the pork belly!
