Food Stands near Jackson Heights, NY

“I visited the Potala Fresh Food truck. These are my favorite momo in the city! The momo are so fresh and juicy you have to lean over the container or plate when you eat them, it’s that juicy! I typically get the beef but they have chicken and other varieties as well. I love that you can also order them frozen if you need a large amount for a home event.“

“I absolutely love this place. The people are friendly and I've gotten to know them to the point where I just show up and they know my order. Although it's a cart, it feels like a neighborhood restaurant where you walk by and say hi and are greeted by smiles. This Is thr best chicken over rice and gyros in the area. The prices are amazing and the food is simply delicious. If you are in the neighborhood defenitly stop by!“

“Me encantaron sus aguas frescas de fresa 🍓, Orchata,,, naranja 🍊 y Jamaica, y tengo que regresar por los mangos con su chilito y probar todo lo de más,,, muy pronto esperen un video de todo lo que pruebe en el Mango Loko“

“I came to this street specifically to taste Billy's perfect hot dog! I came to the place 3 times on different days until suddenly he was there. Don't miss a visit to Billy. The experience is exceptional and unique in taste and the special person he is. The most humble and kindest man you will meet in New York. The hot dog is so delicious and the toppings were from another world! This is my best memory from my first visit in my life (June 2023) to New York! I miss this place ❤️ I WILL COME BACK 🥇“

“I went to a lot of restaurants in New York that were much fancier than this cart but this was my favorite food of the day. The cheong fun was gooey and had qq and a decent amount of meat. For $5 for the large, it was such a deal and fed three of us as a snack. I would go back in a heartbeat and order more. Wish we had this in Chinatown in Houston.“

“Just passing by and purchased two Onigiri (prim and salmon). They’re very delicious and will come back for sure. The quality of steamed white rice is excellent!“

“These guys are the best halal cart I’ve had in the city. You know it’s good when there are a few carts within blocks, but these guys get lines in front of theirs daily. The locals know it’s worth the short wait. They are very pleasant happy people as well!“

“stumbled upon this food truck at 95 Wall Street, and it was such a pleasant surprise! The service was quick and super friendly, which is perfect for the busy Wall Street crowd. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot—I could tell they really care about quality. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the generous portions. The menu had a great variety, so whether you’re in the mood for something light or hearty, you’ll find it here. Definitely one of the best lunch spots in the area. I’ll be coming back often!“

“Excellent Singaporean restaurant inside Urban Hawker. I got the chicken cutlet curry rice and it was fantastic; highly recommend. I also tried the lychee drink, and while it was good, it was not carbonated and I really feel it would benefit from being so.“

“We came to fill our tummies with the best chicken rice in nyc (I’ve eaten pretty much every hainanese chicken rice there is in nyc, even Thai ones) but left with our hearts filled with warmth as well.

We can either our 1.5 yo daughter and upon realizing I was at the time alone with my daughter, he suggested we get a high chair which I was not aware was available. He went ahead and took the high chair for my kiddo and also went ahead to carry both trays of chicken rice to our table.

The kindness did not end there. During the meal, he noticed my daughter was not eating much of the chicken rice so he got his staff to come over to give us a half a bowl of chicken congee, which my daughter loved. He made sure the extra seasoning was put on the side instead which was a nice touch.

We were so touched by his actions and my wife was almost in tears by his kindness.

We gobbled down our chicken rice, my daughter finished most of the congee (which was also very tasty), thanked him and his staff for their kindness, and left with good vibes all over.

So if you ever see Christopher there, give that kind man a shoutout. What a wonderful human being. The world needs more Christophers. Be like him!“

“Perfect summer day out!! So many amazing food options to try.. from sweet to savory, there’s something for everyone. The overall vibe was amazing with great music, good company, and that stunning Manhattan skyline in the background. Loved every bit of it!“

“In love with this place could eat here everyday omg I dream about this place often the sauces the ribs the chicharrones omg so crispy so juicy can’t wait to have the brisket they was out when I went but most def soon will try, oh and the freaking corn bread beyond amazing“

“My partner has been talking about the Dosa man in NYC for a longggg time! We finally made a trip to NY and NY Dosas was our first stop. Waited in line for an hour and honestly it was so worth it. It was a beautiful sunny day in Washington square park when we went so it made waiting more enjoyable. Plenty of places to sit on the benches of the park. Make sure to ask for extra napkins because it can get a little messy. Sambar and coconut chutney are great! Any time I come back to NYC I'll be visiting the Dosa Man! ❤️🪷 Updated from previous review on 2025-04-22“

“The auntie at this cart pays attention to the details and does not skimp on the sauce, she used a scissor to make small openings in the noodle for the sauce to seep through to the bottom, giving a nice coating of sauce to every part of the noodles instead of letting most of the sauce pile up on top. Prices are reasonable as well!“

“The food was awesome! Yeah, not your Panda Express food here. Actually they do have it on last page for those with a fixed palate. For those wanting to have real Shanghai/Chinese food, there is plenty. From the duck sandwich to soup wontons to rolls and more. Each dish was a treat in its simplicity and yet hit the right notes. The burnt chilly spicy stuff on the table may not seem spicy, but boy! It adds a new flavor dimension.
The soup wontons are amazing. Go for it“

“Best halal food in the area“

“If you are like me and have not had delicious barbecue for a long time, you will probably find it quite good. It feels like a Cantonese barbecue flavor. The pork is a salty barbecued pork, and the king of kings is also a little salty. Others I ordered include beef, mutton, gluten, and chicken hearts, which were both good! I love charcoal grilling + fresh grilling. Remember to bring cash!“

“Easily the best Halal Food Truck in the area. The person running the truck (possibly the owner) is the nicest man around! Friendly, conversational, caring and genuine. I love when his truck is outside my work, makes my day, even if I just get to pass by and say hi!

10/10 highly recommend!“

“Karl's Balls are some of the tastiest I have ever had in this world. Hot, savory, and so meaty! 🐙“

“OMG! If I could just give them 10000000000 stars review I would! Staff was extremely friendly, fooooood was amazing! (Miss the photos) but amazing! You can definitely tell is 100% Singapore 🇸🇬 foood made with love! I’ll come every time to keep enjoying! A *MUST* when visiting New York when comes get Asian fooood 🔥❤️“

“Went here after seeing rave reviews online and was not disappointed! My friends and I absolutely loved the truffle fries, cheesy bacon fries, cheeseburgers, and crispy chicken sandwich! Food was outstanding and customer service was exceptional!“

“My dad had been to this place and that there was a line outside and bought the rice roll and also fish balls. The food and the service were nice and wonderful. The atmosphere was that long line, people were cooking or making the food and taking the orders.“

“Presented with Very warm welcoming staff with a fresh crispy Falafel on the start.
I ordered chicken over rice with salad
No doubt salad was fresh and white sauce made it awesome in tasty but chicken wasn’t cook well. Could be better but over all joyful experience .“

“I highly recommend this food truck. My food delivery experience with Eat Real Halal was great. Ordering was simple and seamless. The food was very flavorful! I really enjoyed the mixed (lamb/chicken) over rice with white sauce. I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“Great dou hua/do fu fa for a great price ($3 for a large) If you want extra syrup, it's extra 25 cents. I also get the mochi stuffed with red bean or peanut, about 7 pieces for $6. You used to get 8 pieces for $6 but inflation happened. I've always wanted to try the soymilk and the fresh rice noodles. Next time, for sure. The listing says she's there until 630pm but once she sells out, she leaves, so dont expect her to be there at 6pm. I'd suggest getting there in the morning or Early afternoon if you want to be able to try everything.“

“Jianbing was so so so good! We just got the top-of-the-menu recommended on, but their options are very diverse and interesting. To-go only, but well wrapped. Some cold noddle options, beef patties. Quite nice and made right in front of you.

Cash only“

“My visit to ToastieLand at Smorgasburg was a delightful culinary journey. The Mac and Cheese Toastie stood out with its creamy, savory flavors, perfectly complemented by the garlic, buttery bread. Service was impeccable, providing an enjoyable and efficient experience. The Lav Vanilla Lemonade was a refreshing finale to the rich, cheesy indulgence. ToastieLand is a gastronomic gem that's not to be missed, available at Williamsburg on Saturdays and Prospect Park on Sundays.“

“I stumbled upon Big Boss parked near New York-Presbyterian during a hectic day and couldn’t have been happier with my experience. The food was absolutely delicious, I had chicken over rice with veggies and each bite was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous and filling, and it felt like a real treat in the middle of a busy hospital neighborhood. My mom and I enjoyed our lunch 😊“

“Loved the food!! A MUST TRY for anyone!! I had the chicken+rice+salad+white sauce+hot sauce combo and it was AMAZING!! I am from Florida and never had anything like this ever there especially for the price. The food was delicious, clean and cheap too and made me full for the rest of the day. Infact, I liked it so much that I had it twice in the same day since I was in NYC only for a day and didn’t want to miss it. The owner was an amazing guy and he was generous enough to give me Falafel too. The way he talked showed his passion for food. Loved it! I wish we had this in South Florida too.“

“I don’t buy Mobile Cart food much , but this one was good . I just had a 5 min break and didn’t have time to go to a restaurant to order food . Rafiqis had no customers and quickly went and ordered. The price on Tyne right side of the truck isn’t the right amount . They increased the price and had a different rate on the front of the cart ..

Got felafel over rice .. felafel was fresh ….i actually liked their saffron rice . It was fresh and tasted good . They gave it with salad and some sauce on the top. Costed about 11$ , which isn’t bad . Quantity of rice was small but it was good enough ! My friends had lamb over rice and they liked it . Good experience overall …“

“Great ambiance . Everyone should have a good time.“

“I just went to the truck today! I handed the guy managing the orders my phone written with the order I wanted + payment with tip! (I didn't want to speak because my voice does not match the vibe I try to give 99% of the time!).
He took it with an open heart and even added a sweet pastry to my order! He was very kind for that.

Protect the man managing the orders at all cost ?“

“I loved the place the food was amazing and also the server was very kind to give me more than enough napkins and utensils along my food.The amount of food given was filled to the top with no room to spare it was an amazing experience would recommend it 10/10.

Kid-friendliness: The workers are nice and well behaved and very funny.“

“During our recent stay in Flushing Queens, NY, we were in desperate need of finding a halal food place, and ZAIQA Halal Food cart was an absolute lifesaver! The food was not only authentic but also incredibly flavorful. We tried their chicken over rice and lamb gyro, and both dishes were cooked to perfection, with generous portions and fresh ingredients.

The service was quick, and the chef was friendly, making the whole experience even better. If you're in the area and looking for delicious, affordable halal food, ZAIQA is the place to go. It truly saved our day, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience!“
