A friend and I were in the Wilshire/La Brea district which is always packed with all kinds of trucks at lunch time. I had just tried Kogi's tacos and decided to compare them with KimChi's. Well there's really no comparison. I ordered a beef and tofu taco. My friend, vegetarian, got the tofu one. While Kogi's tofu taco was soft, moist and flavorful, Kim Chi's was bland with firm tofu. The sauce tasted kind of mayonnaisy. There was really no Korean flavors here! I think toppings of jack and cheddar cheese and iceburg lettuce also take away from any Asian flavor. Maybe I should have ordered the kim chi on the side as the truck suggests but after reading your review, maybe it was better I didn't. I had high hopes when I ordered b/c the man taking the order was Korean (I'm thinking "street cred") but we were both disappointed. My friend gave me her taco. She hates mayonnaise. Pros:The beef was not gristly at least and there was no line. Yah, Had a similar experience today at Kimchi 21 for lunch.
