New York Street Food

Hibachi Heaven first hit the NYC streets last June, and things are obviously going well. Not only did they add a 2nd truck in January, but they added a 3rd truck this month. Talk about going from 0 to 60 in no time.

This would be big news by itself, but Nick also told us about a possible international expansion he is working on that would be craaazy! We will let you know as soon as Nick gives us the green light.

As for yesterday’s lunch, we haven’t tried HH’s tofu yet, so that was what we got. It’s the least expensive item on the menu at $7.

We ran across an interesting article about street food in Tokyo on the Tiny Urban Kitchen website.

Never having been there, we did not know that eating or drinking while walking is considered rude in Japan. You would think that would put a damper on street food, but there is plenty available…and it looks delicious!

You don’t have to go to Japan to get Japanese street food. It’s available right here in NYC at Okadaman, although they are currently off the road for the winter.

That said, the okonomiyaki in Tokyo looked pretty darn good too.

Check out the entire article here, which has even more great photos.

If you enjoy hibachi-style food, we have some good news for you.

Hibachi Heaven has opened a 2nd food truck, and it hit the street yesterday!

Their 1st truck came onto the street in June 2012, so it looks like less than 6 months was enough time for them to figure out whether there were enough customers to expand the operation.

Good luck to Nick and the gang at HH, and now HH2. We’ll be stopping by to check out the new truck.

You can find them on twitter here or on our Mobile Munchies twitter feed.

(Note: This lunch was eaten before we went to London last week.)

With the subways still inconsistent after Sandy, we decided to stay near our office instead of traveling around town for lunch. Luckily, Domo Taco was less than 2 blocks from our office. Even better, they had a new menu item.

After opening the truck with just tacos, Domo Taco introduced rice bowls a while back. At first, rice bowls were only with their regular fillings, but they recently began the kimchi falafel rice bowl, which costs $8. As you can guess, this would be a good meal for vegetarians.

When we were talking with the owners of Okadaman at the Vendy Awards last month (they were nominated for Rookie of the Year), they told us about a new menu item being sold at the truck, a Japanese burger. Last week we stopped by to try it.

Unfortunately, the burger was not available at the truck that day, but we were still able to order something we hadn’t had before for lunch, yakisoba, which cost $6.75.
