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

LAist

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

PureWow

Kogi was one of the pioneers of L.A.’s ambitious food truck scene, and today it operates from four mobile locations. It’s always worth the wait for the short-rib tacos or kimchi quesadilla . Read more

Derek Fromson

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.

Eater

Roy Choi and his Kogi BBQ trucks will always be deserving of a spot among the taco greats. The short rib taco is still perfect after all these years. Read more

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!

Serious Eats

Korean short rib tacos and amazing blackjack quesadilla from the Roy Choi food truck empire that spawned a food revolution.

Cynthia Gonzalez

Loved the tacos but the burrito is also great!!!

Ryan Buenaventura

The taco that started the street food revolution. Mix up a taco trio to try the short rib , pork and chicken tacos .

Tara R.

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.

Kristin Polhemus

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.

Daniel L.

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

Hyacinth Palmer

I had a chicken , short rib , and spicy pork taco...all good ????

Definitely worth the wait. Everything is delicious. Even as save some for lunch the next day. Microwaved the burrito , still super yum-o.

Yaron S

So good, so freakin good. Heads up, the burrito is styled after a breakfast burrito . Pacman burger all the way!

Duncan PJ

Kimchi quesadilla,was spicy , cheesy and delicious

Maddy Cagulada

It's a fusion between Korean spiced meat, and Mexican styled food. I fell in Love after my first bite.

G

Blackjack quesadilla and the short rib taco - amazing!!

Jacqueline L.

The Srichacha chocolate bar is hardly spicy or scary--it's a substantially sweet, crunchy, caramelly, chocolately big lump. Pick up one of these understated foil-wrapped desserts below the window.

Softub

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.

Bloomingdale's

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.

1030p-midnight. Best time to roll by Is near the end of time frame. Their burritos are bomb! Better than the tacos ! Try kimchi quesadilla too!

@JaumePrimero

the infamous korean taco truck . Whenever I am in LA I will track this truck to the source!! The bomb!

Jason Carlin

It's Kogi, not "Koji" and it's probably the most famous food truck operation in the country . Did you really think you needed to add it as a new location?
