Chez Yasmine

I love that there's a healthier food truck option - the owner is super amicable and will chat with you. The fact that he lets frequent customers help him out on the truck or have choices named after them just goes to show the relationships he makes with his customers. My review will be a bit narrow because I only have gotten the chicken banh mi, spicy - it's interesting because it's not an Asian truck but I think they have a great take on it! They use fresh ingredients (cucumber, cilantro, carrots) and juicy chicken. I never bothered to order anything else because I was always happy with their chicken banh mi! They give complimentary water and a banana with every purchase also - and they take venmo!

Been going here for 10 years. Love the chicken wistar so much. Avoid lines by going slightly before noon. Check Facebook for updates about the menu and hours.

Definitely stop by if youre on Penn campus!! Delicious food and Jihed the owner is the best. Great fresh vegetables and many flavorful options. We got vegetarian delight and banh mi both of which were amazing. The bread they come on is super crusty and light. I love the tapenade and brie in the delight. want to come again and try the grilled cheese and soupe du jour. Perfect spot for weekday lunch

I was craving a bahn mi for lunch, but working in University City typically leaves me without any bahn mi options. Rather than venture into center city for my fix, I decided to wander around on campus at the lunch hour. I happened upon Chez Yasmine at 37th and Spruce in front of Vance Hall and was immediately excited to find tofu bahn mi on the menu, along with a number of other veg-friendly options. Woo, that was one spicy sandwich. I asked the food truck chef to go light on the spice and he obliged, but I also made the mistake of biting into one of the jalepenos. Yowza. It was delicious, overall. The spiced ground tofu, slices of cucumber and shredded carrots were nestled inside of a delightful crusty baguette. It was very nice, and I was especially excited to have a vegetarian sandwich to add to my work lunch options. I'll definitely come back and try out one of the other vegetarian options like the Gretchen quinoa salad or the Vegetarian Couscous. The owner/chef was very enthusiastic and warm. He took my picture for his facebook customer album and it made me feel very welcome.

Great food for a real good price. Try the couscous and salmon smorgas. I love most things on the menu.

One of my favorite food trucks on Spruce so far! It is refreshing to find a truck serving a variety of healthy options.I tried the Chicken Bahn Mi, or Vietnamese sandwich. Though lacking in authenticity, the baguette was delightful and the ingredients fresh! I was a bit skeptical about the wasabi mayonnaise put into the sandwich since I am not a fan of wasabi, but the wasabi flavor was minimal and actually worked quite well into the flavor combo. For $5, it is a great deal and comes with a banana and a drink. Many vegetarian and gluten free options available as well. Other menu items include more "french" sandwiches, quinoa salads and berry salads.I definitely see this becoming one of my regular go to spots.

One of my favorite food trucks on Penn's campus! If I had to describe the feel of Chez Yasmine in one word, I would say elegant. From the crusty baguette sandwiches to the sophisticated salads, everything on the menu is delicious. Yes it's a little more expensive than some, but you're paying for quality, plus you get a piece of fruit and a bottle of water. I've kept coming back because of the unique menu options and the friendly service (the owner has a special place in his heart for his regulars--strike up a conversation while you're waiting for your food and get to know him, he's a sweetheart!).I've tried almost everything on the menu, and some of my favorites (in no particular order) are the Wistar (pesto, brie, avocado with chicken and/or grilled mushrooms on a baguette), the chicken banh mi (light and fresh), and the Menange a Trois (perfectly crispy, mustard-y grilled cheese with a cup of the soup of the day, which is always delicious!). Once in a while I treat myself to the flavorful couscous as well, which usually comes vegetarian but you can add chicken and on some days, lamb. The lamb is a little pricier but totally worth it--so tender, and the flavor complements the root vegetables and harissa sauce wonderfully.

I got the Tunisian Sandwich. As a Tunisian, I can say it's authentic and tastes amazing. My friend got couscous which she loved. Jihed is very nice and loves to chat with his customers. I'm definitely going there more often.

Chicken couscous was awesome. Very flavorful but also very healthy and filling. Came with a fruit and a bottle of water

Everything I've ever eaten from this food truck has been delicious. It's freshly made, healthy, tasty and satisfying. The owner is a lovely person.
