One word: AWESOME! Seriously best burgers. I also recommend trying the bulgogi taco, bulgogi plate, corndog wrapped in a curly fry, the asian chicken salad and the chicken plate. Definitely come & try

The tacos are iconic and the sliders are always reliable, but go further down the menu and you'll find kim-chi quesadillas, the sriracha chocolate bar, and the epic Pacman burger. Read more

Head to a deserted parking lot late at night and wait for the appearance of the Kogi truck, from which you will soon purchase enormous, great-tasting plates of Korean short-rib tacos. Read more

Try a combo, including a taco (spicy pork is awesome) and one of the fan favorites like the delicious Spicy Chili Chicken Quesadilla. Add kimchi to your taco. Amazingly delicious and unusual.

Kogi sliders and tacos are good! Tacos to choose from: spicy pork, tofu, short ribs(yum!) and chicken. Good price for a quick, tasty meal!

Tortillas stuffed with short rib, sesame-chile salsa roja, crisp romaine lettuce and cabbage, Korean chili-soy vinaigrette and cilantro,onion, lime relish. Yum!

Loved the tacos but the burrito is also great!!!
Tara R.August 20, 2013
Tacos were good (shortrib/calamari/chicken), but the BURRITO! Oh man! It was a special wet burrito, probably one of the best meals of my vacation.

Korean short rib tacos and amazing blackjack quesadilla from the Roy Choi food truck empire that spawned a food revolution.
Amiel ChuSeptember 14, 2013
Definitely worth the wait. Everything is delicious. Even as save some for lunch the next day. Microwaved the burrito, still super yum-o.
Kristin PolhemusMay 29, 2013
The (not spicy) Sriracha chocolate bar is amazing! One of the best desserts I've had. The sliders are a great choice for someone who doesn't like spicy things.
Bloomingdale'sAugust 18, 2010
Korean tacos and burritos. Plus other spicy/salty/garlicky combos like the kimchi quesadilla. They’ve got a quartet of silver and white trucks circling the city, but if you miss out on lunch, try dinn

If you're feeling adventurous then track down the Kogi BBQ Truck. I think your best bang for your back is their burritos. They're a little piece of heaven for me.

A Korean-Mexican fusion makes an impression on every taste bud. The beef short rib taco, makes Korea and Mexico seem like long lost twins.
Yaron SNovember 27, 2014
So good, so freakin good. Heads up, the burrito is styled after a breakfast burrito. Pacman burger all the way!
