“First time at Coney Shack and I’m already hooked. This spot is such a cool blend of Vietnamese flavors with street food vibes, and everything we tried hit the mark.

We started with the crispy fish tacos—super light, crunchy, and packed with flavor. The lemongrass chicken banh mi tacos were my personal favorite: juicy, perfectly seasoned, and with just enough heat to keep things interesting. You can tell they’re not afraid to play around with flavor while still keeping the balance right.

The vibe inside is casual and fun—bright, energetic, and perfect for grabbing food with friends. Staff was super friendly and patient while we figured out what to order (so many good options!).

Prices are very fair for the quality, and the portions are generous. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving something bold and different. I’m already planning to come back to try the short rib quesadilla everyone raves about.“

“Their Thai shrimp tacos are amazing !!!!! Best food truck in Long Island !“

“Just the best Mexican food In NYC“

“Worth the wait worth the trip food from D’Angelo‘s is absolutely phenomenal You can’t go wrong with anything you order from them. Only down side I should’ve ordered extra to take home cause of how far they are other than that this place is highly recommended.“

“You're going to enjoy the atmosphere here. Workers here are so pleasant it adds to the fun experience. The meal was absolutely right. The meal execution and service delivery were excellent. I can't imagine valid criticism of this place.“

“I got the chicken over rice. Solid quality chicken.

Whoever was running the cart looked pretty tired in the heat :(. Nonetheless, he was still very attentive and kind!

Very quick. Will be back! Thanks so much!“

“They’re absolutely amazing! The best in parkchester ! Some might say the best in nyc. The food is always great and has a warming feel like your mom made your favorite Sunday dinner. If you’re in parkchester don’t forget to stop by and give them a try you won’t regret it!“

“Great food and great people all around.“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“My first time having fuska at fuskahouse Yummm! Can’t explain how taste it was It reminded me my childhood fuskawala Great food & will recommend all my F& F.“

“Top notch Halal 👌 With it's captivating unique flavors, Shwarma Bay stands out from the rest. This is not your typical Halal cart food. This has its own spices and flavor profile. You can taste the spices in the rice. The hot sauce is more of a creamy hot sauce unlike the red spicy 🔥 hot you tend to get from other halal carts. Chicken and beef well made and sauces on point. Shwarma Bay is in its own category“

“Los mejores tacos que he comido en mi vida!“

“The Banh Mi Cart is my favorite part of working in the Financial District. They’re only open 4 hours a day but boy do they deliver! Hot, delicious ready-to-eat Vietnamese banh mi’s ? And the two uncles working the cart are super friendly and are the most honest, hardworking people I’ve met. I’ll have to try to get there earlier because the roasted pork banh mi is sold out everytime!“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat in Astoria. The food is excellent, so flavorful and fresh. The service is always so friendly as well. I always come here when I’m craving halal and I’ll always recommend it to others.

Also, really recommend the soup! Really yummy and hearty, perfect for the winter.“

“Their lamb/beef gyro was really good. The bowl was stuffed! The wait was a bit long though, almost 25+ minutes just to get to order, and sometimes other people (I assume related) just cut in to throw in 5 or 10 other orders. The food came out very fast at least and I enjoyed my bowl. I see they have an online ordering site, so I may try that next time to reduce the wait. Would love to try the other items.“

“I've lived in the neighborhood for 2yrs and finally decided to Try this Restaurant and it hasn't disappointed me yet! I was confused on what dish to get so the cashier (young lady with glasses) recommended "Chicken TIkka" it's so yummy ? the food was hot and freshly cooked this is my third time visiting. I'll definitely be back to try more items off the menu. I Also like they are open lateeeeee“

“Highest quality halal food cart in the city! The owner always treats me right. The chicken over rice is amazing and the spicy/brown rice is the BEST in NYC.“

“Update: Tried this place again and I gotta change my review from 4 stars to 5. Got a combo over rice with extra meat and it was packed. More importantly though, it was delicious. I don't know if it's because I was hungry but the food I got yesterday was made really good, so much so that I'd actually say this cart is among the top 5 halal places I'd recommend. There seemed to be more lamb this time, like 60% chicken to 40% lamb but I didn't mind it much because the chicken was very juicy and flavorful. It felt like I was eating heaven and this might be my new go-to but given that it's a little of a way from my house, I don't know if I'd be coming here often. What I do know is that it's right in front of the hospital and if I worked around there, I'd be getting even fatter. For the purposes of my health, it's probably a good thing that I don't live too close to this cart. 10/10

Original review: Got a combo over rice and despite costing $1 more than the chicken over rice, the combo was basically 90% chicken and 10% lamb so it was basically a chicken over rice with a few lamb pieces sprinkled in. Despite me feeling ripped off, the chicken over rice was actually quite good. Chicken was tasty and well seasoned and I'd say that this is definitely one of the better halal carts out there in the area. Not the best but pretty good, and the prices weren't terrible.“

“it was amazing!! The proportions of the chicken and rice were in large amounts. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was soft. The salad on the side was very fresh. Overall I recommend this place for kids and adults. The spice levels canbe altered by asking for little hot sauce and more white sauce. The price is affordable and it is ready in less than 10 minutes.“

““I had an amazing experience at King of Falafel on Bell Boulevard! The falafels were perfectly crispy and deliciously tender, and the shawarma and kofta were absolutely amazing as well. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic and flavorful Middle Eastern cuisine!”“

“I tried a few treats from Yummy Tummy’s Kitchen and everything was so fresh, delicious, and full of flavor! The cookie was soft and warm, the little pie was perfectly baked, and the cupcake was super moist with the creamiest frosting. You can taste the love in every bite.

What makes it even better is that this place is woman-owned, and the owner herself is the chef and baker behind all these amazing goodies. You can really feel her passion in the quality of the desserts.

The shop is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the prices are great for the quality.
Definitely one of my new favorite bakery spots — I’ll be back for sure! 💛🍪🧁✨“

“I’ve tried over a dozen Halal carts in the city, and this one has by far the best chicken over rice. Once you try it, you’ll go out of your way to come here every time you crave halal.

The chicken is juicy and always perfectly flavored and cooked. All ingredients are fresh. The sauces are great, and the red sauce is VERY spicy (love it)

The folks running it are super friendly and the cart is kept clean.

I’m legitimately concerned that once people find out about this place, there will lines around the block. It’s one viral TikTok away from becoming an overcrowded tourist spot.“

“What a gem. Got a chicken burrito and it was exactly what I wanted: plenty of chicken, loaded with rice and beans, good tortilla that they grilled just right. And the guys working the truck are super nice, overall great experience for the price.“

“Excellent service, Fresh Food, Great Prices! Highly recommended“

“Maged is the best! Love stopping here after getting off the train.“

“Uber Eats Fast warm delivery and fresh ...“

“Possibly one of the best hot dogs I’ve ever had! I stumbled upon this spot on a whim while visiting clients in Queens, and I’m glad I did. From the very first snap, I could tell this had to be a homemade or custom dog — it didn’t have that generic taste so many hot dogs do. The seasoning was perfect, and it actually tasted like a real meal rather than just a quick snack.

On my second visit, I asked the team in the truck why their dogs were so good. They explained that it’s a custom blend made exclusively for them and a few high-end retailers who serve it in their restaurants.

Highly recommended if you’re in the area or even feel like you want to drive out.“

“We love ordering from this food cart by far the chorizo and vegetarian tacos are my favorite. Recommending this place for sure.“

“Always fresh and delicious food options including Vegetarian choices. Chef Omer combines Turkish food specialties with Classical American street food. They have Gozleme (Turkish Pancake) with Cheese, Potato or Spinach, amazing grilled fresh fish, chicken gyro, falafel, tacos… Even Turkish Tea. Thank you for bringing this wonderful menu to us.

Vegetarian options: Gozleme, Falafel, Salad“

“Best after hour spot.. ��� delicious food“

“This food truck serves some of the heartiest momo on the streets of Jackson Heights. We got 8 thick and meaty beef momo for $8 at Amdo Kitchen. The go-to sauces here are the red sauce and white sauce. The halal momo are complimented with a thicker, chewier dough than other momos - it takes me three bites to finish each one. Amdo Momo is a favorite for those looking for an authentic taste of Tibetan cuisine. Don't forget to ask for the side of radish!“

“I love this food, it’s so delicious and the service is wonderful.. I can eat here everyday.“

“SOOOOO GOOOOD GREAT SERVICE TELL EVERYONE THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM AMAZING STAFF AMAZING FOOD & ATMOSPHERE REAL VIBE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥GO CHECK THEM OUT !!! Chicken platter my favorite ❤️“

“Absolutamente todo esta riquísimo 😋#tacos #tacoscasamigos“

“This food truck always has a line - for good reasons. Have tried their burger and kale salad - both were fantastic. Can't wait to try more items on their menu. Price is reasonable and service is always friendly. Go - you won't regret it.“

“Unbelievable fuchka — haven’t had fuchka this good in a long time. Definitely rivals the best fuchka in Bangladesh.“

“The flavors here keep calling me back whenever I'm nearby. Their menu combines quality and service with sensible pricing. The staff performed exactly as expected at this quality restaurant. They serve just enough for the right cost. Tasty food options, considerate staff, and a nice setting make this restaurant good.“

“Some of the best cleanest chimis I've had in over a decade, and they must get the ketchup and mayo imported from DR because I was transported from that first bite, the quipe was a 10/10 and the homemade hot sauce brought it to and 11/10. I really hope the guys keep doing what they're doing because it's great and I want a place I know I can rely on.“

“I have been going to Tommy's food truck for the past 15 years, and I have to say that I have never had a meal that wasn't short of great!! From the grilled Chicken Caesar wrap to the Bacon cheeseburger ( On my cheat days of course;)). This food truck brings a taste of home to the streets of the West side. Tommy, and Armando treat every customer as if they were family. In a city with many food carts and trucks this is one place that's a must!!!“
