Pork Belly is Back!
June 11th, 2009You guys must have been craving for this bad boy because we sold out of it within the first two hours on both trucks tonight! Don’t worry, we’ll be getting some more for the rest of the week. Yes, it is delicious pork belly served on a sesame leaf with caramelized kimchi topped with our salsa roja.

The pork belly is really good, but too small for $5. I love the quesadilla!

I had the Pork Belly special tonight in Eagle Rock.
Very tasty, portion size a little small—so if you’re hungry, order a burrito or a couple more tacos. Try it. Pork Belly is one of the best parts of the pig.
Orange crumble dessert also gets thumbs up.

great food! I live and work in the Sants Clarita area. Where I work has a big parking lot and we close at 10pm. If you are ever out in this area you can use our parking. Once again, love the food!

Chef Roy, I’ve had Kogi three times at the Alibi this past week. I’m a big fan of spicy pork and am sad to report that the meat was always charred and mostly inedible. Also, the taco tortillas are a bit hard. Do you guys fry them? The food at the bar is unlike what you guys serve at the trucks…

Thanks for your comments, I think I know exactly what is wrong. I will fix it immediately, please give alibi another shot.

Pork Belly is actually from the stomach, not back.
Common mistake. Delicious nonetheless…

regarding costa mesa date : i wish i couldve tried this but NO i was F****** cut off! the person in front of me was the last person to get served. i waited 3 hours and got NOTHING. There were people that were in front of me who left, me and including the people behind me were all noobies and wanted to try your damn tacos. BUT no. as a customer hoping to try youre tacos at least once i just want you guys to at least be able to serve people that havent had your tacos also as supposed to the people who have so you can have returning customers. cas trust me i wouldnt want to wait 3 hours again to be let down.
again, im not hatin on you dudes i just wanna try your food and be a satisfied customer!

First, I have to thank you for traveling all the way to southbay so that us southies don’t have to stalk you all over the westside. I can imagine that it’s not the best route on a friday evening.
So on Friday I arrive to the Toyota location at 5:45p. The line was pretty short, I would say about 50 deep. The truck arrived at 6:15p, just 15 minutes late – no worries. But the guy doesn’t start selling tacos until 7:30ish… is this normal? Can’t the food be prepared in advance instead of making people wait for an hour or so before serving the first customer?
We recieved our tacos at 8:35p. I asked for 8 tacos and before i could get to the burrito the guy says “no more”, $11 limit. So I said my wife is with the kid because the kid is 2 years old and going nuts about standing in line for 2 hours. So he lets me order one more item… so I sacrificed the burrito for the quesadilla which my sone loved.
So we waited for 2.5 hours and were not able to even order what we wanted. There was also probably another 25 or so behind me that probably did not get served.
You might either provide more trucks or cancel this location since I am sure there are lots of complaining people like me. In fact, I would drive to the westside if i knew the wait would be this long. Otherwise, the food was great.

Chef Roy and company,
Just wanted to say that I dig the food and hope to head back soon for more. Glad that the trucks are doing well. Much love and respect.
On another note, can anyone provide any updates on the Kogi t-shirt design contest? I know it’s been only like two weeks since the deadline, but I wanted to know what’s going on and such.

eyes2small – I’m very sorry to hear about your experience. But there are some locations that are heavier than others. The trend seems to be that the further south or east the truck travels, the more people line up. The west side locations usually don’t have a line longer than 30-40 minutes. Last time at SMC, by the 2nd hour, there was no line at all. We also have a permanent kitchen in Culver City at the Alibi Room that does not move, hence you don’t have to worry about Kogi leaving. As long as your order comes in before midnight, you will be fed.
Please take in mind, for a small family business it takes an incredible amount of work to get these trucks out there to feed as many people as we can. We could easily sell out and sell partial ownership to some big corporate entity, but we feel the spirit of Kogi would be lost. We’re a handful of guys at best trying our hardest to feed entire armies. Just imagine your family and friends getting together and trying to feed 6 locations like Costa Mesa in one day. That’s what we do for our fans every day. We’re not machines and neither is anyone on our staff. We’re simply people with passion for what we do.

when are you all coming to pasadena? or, at least near pasadena?
June 16th, 2009
Pasadena has been very strict on their policies on catering trucks. I believe Eagle Rock or Downtown LA is the closest locations for Pasadena.
