Korean Short Ribs
November 24th, 2008This is our signature taco. We get the best trimmings of short ribs we can find, let it swim in our own special marinade, and chop it nice and small so the flavors just dance on your taste buds. Once on the grill, the fat melts away to create that soft and tender texture everyone loves and the sugars just caramelize to give the meat that deep and savory flavor. This is the Kogi crowd favorite.
All out tacos are topped with:
- sesame-chili salsa roja
- julienne romaine lettuce and cabbage tossed in Korean chili-soy vinaigrette
- cilantro-green onion-lime relish
- crushed sesame seeds
- sea salt
- garnished with lime wedge, orange wedge and red radish wedge

I’m Korean, and live in Korea
in Korea there are no food like that Kogi
the cook said this is Korean style PoJangMaJa (포창마차)
but that is not a Korean style PoJangMaca.
and also PojangMaca is a Japanese style store
not a Korean…
when i see the food that is totally Maxican food
not a Korean..
Hey cook, why you tell the false to American who have no background knowledge about Asian style.
why you steal a other country’s culture.
you useing a PoJangMaCa( Japanese stlye store) and Mexican food, there is no connection with Korean things.
if you argue with Korean style, talk to me useing with Korean.
January 26th, 2009
Please bring this to New York!!!
and to 강승태
I don’t know where u got that dumb false info you alone, or maybe from some wrong korean media, but no body says it’s authentic Korean. So what are you arguing about?
It’s obviously fusion of Korean+Mexican. two different culture food combined together in case you never had fusion.
PoJangMacha is a Korean word. not sure if it was adopted from Japan long ago, but it is nation-wide popular korean street culture, even the food they serve is completely different with those in Japan. you would be a rare person to call it Japanese.
You’re like calling Kimchi not authentic Korean because the red pepper powder didn’t historically originate from Korea.
Such shame idea to argue here. It only proves that you’re uncultured in post globalization
January 28th, 2009
Kogi: 고마워요 –You guys are amazing. I had the Galbi-style tacos last night, and I loved them so much, I am driving across town for more tonight!
I think the idea of fusing Korean with Mexican food not only is delicious, but it reflects Los Angeles as the melting pot of the west coast. For those that don’t agree–have they tried it? I think it is great that this truck is in lots of locations so everyone can try! 
xoxox-L.A.
January 29th, 2009
had the galbi taco, along with the pork and chicken tacos and the chicken burrito with my gf at the golden gopher for the first time. i am hooked!!! thanks kogi!
does the truck operate on sundays as well? would love to visit in the afternoon after church.
January 29th, 2009
Tried you guys out last nite in downtown. Tacos are awesome! I would say a little salty but still awesome. Looking forward to eating it again. One thing – I ordered a beef burrito, but I think I got a tofu burrito cuz there was no meat in it….

looking forward to trying the short rib tacos (and is it just tacos? can I get it with a side of rice and may be some bean sprouts? you know like a plate lunch)
and i thought i had seen something last week on your website that had spam in it but can’t seem to find it… was i just imagining it (maybe it was just wishful thinking)
by the way, any chance you’ll have a list of everything that’s on your menu?
wishing kogi a successful 2009!!!!!

February 11th, 2009
beef!
February 11th, 2009
If one chooses not to have chili on ones taco/s, will the purveyor be offended?
February 13th, 2009
question – do u guys do anything to the tortilla? the first i had it, the tortilla had this awesome texture – slightly crunchy and hard but not too hard…kinda seemed like it was lightly fried or put on the grill..the second time the tortilla was just plain jane.
February 13th, 2009
We do griLL our tortiLLas before serving tacos. You probabLy caught the last one during a rush.
Sometimes we have to make the decision to either fry or die when the crowds get that huge and seem superbLy hungry. But the standard tacos shouLd include gentLy fried tortiLLas.
ApoLogies, we are aLso training new crew on the truck, too, which may aLso account for forgetfuLness when there is a massive line of peopLe.
February 13th, 2009
Oh – and if you want your tacos a certain way, feeL free to order them that way. Just know that wiLL cause a littLe bump in the wait, though, as any speciaL orders tend to create a rippLe effect when the fLow breaks.
To make it easier on the crew, I wouLd say to save any super speciaL requests (like, “extra onions, no saLad, mix pork with beef”) for when the lines aren’t out the door. If it’s something as simpLe as “no hot sauce” that’s totaLLy cooL.
February 17th, 2009
thanks for the reply. i knew it was fried! and not just something i thought i thought i ate. it makes a HUGE difference. and when is there not a crazy massive rush of people?!
February 18th, 2009
oh, it’s just aLL the press lateLy. I’m sure it’LL caLm down into a gentLe happy hum of peopLes after a whiLe.

Tried the galbi taco for the first time last night at SMC and thought the the vinaigrette overpowered everything on the taco and the meat was a little dry and flavorless. Remember the church BBQ’s when the meat was a little smoky, sweet and bursting with flavor?

강승태…
You said you are Korean, but your Korean pronounciation is wrong.
I think you are not Korean. You Must be Japanese who live in Korea.
And maybe you can speak and write in Korean well.
Many Japanese are jealous of Korean Culture, and I know many Japanese such as you. You’re really pathetic.
And another reason why you’re not Korean is…
You emphasized “Japanese Style” excessively. If you are really Korean, this behavior is very strange.
I don’t know why do you want to insist on argueing Asian Culture obstinately. I can’t understand you. Go back to your home in Japan.

You have a fan base in Las Vegas. We’ve been monitoring your twitters. A group of us are coming to LA this Saturday (April 4th) just to eat from the traveling Korean BBQ Truck. Will you be @The Brig in Venice on Saturday?
Have you ever thought of branching out of LA, maybe start a 3rd truck & come to Vegas?
March 31st, 2009
Heeeeeeere’s our scheduLe for Saturday:
Roja – 12PM-3PM@The Brig – Abbot Kinney and Palm in Venice
9:30PM-Midnight@Eagle Rock -4372 Eagle Rock Blvd
Verde – 9PM-2AM@The Brig – Abbot Kinney and Palm in Venice
So YES, we wiLL be at The Brig, but you might want to come earLy at 9PM, JUST in case we run out of food (like we did in Torrance.) Just remember, it’s aLL about good times, so come with lawn chairs, beers and board games in case the wait gets a bit long.
OR if you want a chance at our expanded menu, you might want to check us out at The ALibi, since it’s open Mon-Sat 6PM-midnight and, so far, has not run out of food.
OMGZ – thanks so much for making the trek out from Vegas, dudes! If we ever mosey on over to the city of sin, we shaLL let you know for sure. Best of luck to y’aLL and it’s so supremeLy fLattering to here we’ve made your list of pLaces to visit when out in LA!
March 31st, 2009
Vegasdude, if you guys only have 1 day to try Kogi, I would go get lunch at the Brig, so you get the full taco truck experience, and then go to the Alibi room for dinner and try the fries, tortas, and other goodies.

K and Typical Korean – why have a culture war? Let’s get a couple of Tacos and sliders and discuss what is best in both cultures rather than bashing them. Relax and enjoy the diversity like Kogi. Mix the Asian and The Latin flavors!
May 5th, 2009
Hey K,
I am an American Asian (notice I state “American” first)- born, raised and proud to be American. Lay off, dude. The man is just trying to make an honest living….so who cares whether Japanese or Korean etc. Just enjoy what they have to offer and keep your bigot mentality to yourself.

Your Azul truck sells the Blackjack Quesadilla for $5.
But, your Roja truck sells it for $7. What’s up with that!?
Do you jack up the price just one week later?
Also, your tacos are $2. Is that for just one piece or for two
pieces. I asked for four orders of your tacos and I just got
four pieces. What sort of business are you running!!?

Sorry about any confusion.
The blackjack quesadilla is $7 due to the pork belly.
The Azul truck must have just made a mistake.
Our tacos are $2 a piece. So 4 orders is 4 tacos.
Regarding your question, we are running an honest street taco truck and making mistakes once in awhile.

The Short Ribs are pork or beef?
I can’t eat pork…..so what should I try? =D
I’m visiting LA and can’t wait to try your food!

Chef Roy,
The price on your Blackjack Quesadilla varies from Kogi truck to
Kogi truck. On one Friday evening, you were selling it for $5.
That was when you were parked in Echo Park, in front of A1 Grocery Warehouse. On the following week, on a Tuesday evening, at the same
location, the Blackjack Quesadilla was priced at $7.
Why are you guys ripping off your customers!!? I asked the Latino
guy who was taking the order about the price increase. He says
that it’s always been $7. THAT’S A BIG LIE!!! Roy, you were selling it for $5. If you want to continue selling those, I suggest
you keep the price at $5.

The last thing I am trying to do is rip you off for $2.
The price on the blackjack is $7 due to all the ingredients inside and out.
If there was a price mistake it may have been just that, a mistake.
We are not trying to pull the wool over anyones’ eyes for $2.
I am still trying to make the food as cheap as possible.
The amount of pork we put inside forces me to sell it for $7.
I can change the dish and sell it for $5 if you all want, just let me know.
Please believe me that this is not a calculated strategy to rip you off, just a mis-calculation.
So to all that read this: blackjack quesadilla = $7. If price is to high I will change recipe, just let me know.
I will listen, promise….

To Mr. Kang:
I sense a little jealousy maybe because of the fact that these guys thought of a great idea and you haven’t. They do use Korean ingredients in their marinades. There is a connection. The truth is, Korean fusion foods are everywhere I know this because I live in Korea.
Maybe you should talk to the people at Lotteria, KFC, Macdonalds and all of the Pojiangmachas there that serve Bulgogi hamburgers, Cheese Ttuckboki, Italian Risotto with Kochujiang, etc, etc…
Maybe you should talk about to all of the Koreans in Korean trying to pass off Korean food as Western fusion food before trying to insult these guys. They’ll have a closer to connect to both types of cuisine more than you ever will.

You guys finally make it to Glendale and the line is insane!
December 22nd, 2009
I got there at 12:35 and I couldnt even buy a burrito anymore cause they said the line was closed! There were only about 30 people in line. I came all the way from West Covina too!
December 22nd, 2009
By the way that was at the Glendale location.
December 22nd, 2009
I’ve been hearing about Kogi for months now! So I went to drive from Ktown (just imagine the traffic) I got there at noon and they were already closing the line! sucks! I so badly wanted quesadillas! Grrrr!

I’m very sorry for your disappointment. Due to the holiday weekend, we are unfortunately working a little short on staff. Traditionally, the week of Christmas has been slow with companies in crunch mode trying to make deadlines and transplants catching flights to go back home, so we were quite surprised to see such a large amount of people waiting for us in Glendale.
To those of you who came out for us this afternoon, thank you. For your efforts, we will do everything we can to prepare for our next visit to Glendale.
