L.A. has always been at the forefront of the new food truck world, going back to when Kogi BBQ launched the entire scene back in 2008, so it’s no surprise when more good eats on wheels pop up. The city has seen its fair share of great food trucks, but there is still room for some new and innovative meals on wheels. Here are five new LA food trucks to keep an eye out for if you happen to be hungry and roaming the streets.
In sprawling LA County, there’s certainly no shortage of Chinese restaurants offering authentic Chinese food. The problem, however, is the location. The main hub of all good Chinese food in LA lies in the San Gabriel Valley. This means that every Angeleno craving some good Chinese eats usually has to make a trip out of it. Luckily, we live in modern times with a huge (and growing) availability of food trucks. This is where The Chinese Laundry Truck comes in. Thanks to Chef Leo Lamprides, you’re able to get your Chinese food fix all over LA. From the beef risotto to Hainan chicken and spicy Sichuan noodles, everything is bursting with flavor. During lunch, you’re also able to score any of their bowls plus a daily special, like their handmade Shandong-style Napa cabbage and pork buns with cold noodle salad. If you happen to catch them for dinner, you can order any of their tacos, meat or veggie. The best part of it all is the option to add a five-spice tea egg to anything you want.
