Kim's Oriental Food [closed]Overall Rating: 
When asked why she doesn't have a phone number, Kim simply replied, "We cook too fast, there's no need to order ahead." And it's true; Kim's has the fastest service on campus, by far. Even though all the grad students from nearby Sansom know the secret, there are never more than 5 people in line because no one waits more than 5 minutes. The menu is ordinary but offers pretty much everything you would want from a Chinese/Asian food truck. The orange display in the middle has the best specials. Also, they use less of that gooey sauce than other trucks use (see: Le Anh's). -MY and AG

While Kim's offers typical Chinese food and is almost always open, the magic lies in the dishes you may not have heard of before. I ordered a Veg Lo Mein and it was perfectly adequate, but ordering the Kung Pao Tofu was a life-changing experience. It is filling and has large portions, and the flavor is unmatched amongst food trucks on campus. -AG

The food isn't gooey/wrong like the other Chinese food trucks, and the variety is much greater. Try the eggplant chicken or the chili chicken, or the maopo tofu. Don't get discouraged by long lines--I've been in lines there that were over 20 people long and I still got my food in less than 5 minutes. -Rolfe
Why such a high rating?? Thu, 09 Oct 2008

I've been on campus for 8 years, and this was my first food truck meal ever. Every time I go there, I vow it'll be my last time because the food tastes so terrible -- overseasoned, over-use of vinegar and soy sauce, too little rice and vegetables taste old and un-fresh -- but I keep going back because the lines at all the other trucks can get so long. Fair priced and worth it if all you want to do is fill your stomach with something that won't kill you, and you don't want to wait for it, but the description above is wrong -- the line ALWAYS is longer than 5 people during busy times because everyone thinks this place is soooo fast that they come here. -KT
