This food cart has huge portions, delicious food and a great court yard to eat your food, with covered picnic tables, trash and recycling bins and bathrooms. The lady who was working the window is very friendly and knowledgeable. We had stopped here hoping to eat at GF chef, but they are gone. Their cart isn't even here anymore. We looked around and this looked like the safest option for our family, which is gluten free due to food allergies, not choice. The lady who runs this cart is regularly asked about gluten and knew right away what was safe, which was ninety percent of the menu. My husband and spawn ordered the fried rice and curry to share. I ordered the pork noodles which usually come with spring rolls, which are not safe, so she gave me extra noodles. The fried rice was very good and the curry made the other two happy, though I was glad I didn't order it...personal palate preference and nothing more.
My pork and noodles were freaking delicious! They have fresh cucumbers and lettuce under the noodles, which perfectly balance the savory pork and noodles. The meal came with a spiced oil on the side which was delicious and I ended up dumping the whole container on it after determining I could handle the spice level. I like chipotle and habanero level spice, no more than that. This was dialed back from that...more of a jalapeno level spice. I had only eaten a peach all day and still couldn't eat more than half the plate. I had enough to take home for leftovers which my son, home from college, happily consumed. :) This is definitely a place we will return to.
If you have never been here before, there is a very tiny entrance to a back, gravel lot at the light. The parking is free. The bathrooms do have a code which you obtain when you make your order.
Stopped in on a whim in serious need of fuel. Ordered the Vietnamese iced coffee. It's full flavored, strong coffee, not overly sweet. Delicious and high in caffeine. I'm feeling energized now.
Ordered the lemongrass beef rolls. They are a nice size for a smaller lunch, flavorful, fresh, and good!
When can I come back and finish with something sweet from those gentlemen at rocket? I hope soon.
Love this place. Yummy food and drinks! Awesome staff!
Love BBQ sandwiches! They are the best! The owners are super nice. We will be back.
