KAMI Philadelphia

Saw this food truck on the corner of 33rd & market while at the light. I looove Korean food, so I pulled over. The woman and an elder were very nice. Today it's 26 degrees out. Supper Colld!! They provided patrons with a nice hot cup of Korean tea with pieces of ginger. I ordered bulgogi and fried dumplings. The bulgogi was tender but lacked a robust flavor. Not enough broth. The rice was bland. I like the dumplings. They were mini so you could pop them in your mouth. They were crunchy and flavorful. I would try something different next time.

Nice little local food truck just on 33rd street on Drexel's campus. I would say the overall food truck scene is a bit lacking around the area.... I think it's on chestnut street where there's a bunch of generic food trucks all selling hoagies and sandwiches, with nothing really distinguishing one or the other, though full transparancy I haven't tried those yet. It was a nice change of pace to see there was one that was selling Korean food.Tips before you go, cash is preferred, though they are accepting venmo now in case you don't keep bills in your wallet. The food options are pretty standard, with some classical rice dishes like bibimbap, bokkeumbap, and a stir fried pork on rice. So far I've had the pork and the bibimbap, and the flavors are a bit muted compared to what I've had at some Korean places. Seasoning is a bit light, and not as spicy. But they use nice short-medium grain rice cooked well, and the pork was cooked well too. The bibimbap had a ton of vegetables, which is nice, but again wish I could have the option to add some more spice or a dash more salt. I think overall it's a good option for lunch if you're nearby, and I can see the perspective of not wanting to scare off customers with really fiery food. I'll come back again, but might ask them to make mine a bit more forward in flavor. The wait times can vary depending on the dish, which can be understandable. Prices are fair, though the only thing I'm a little miffed about is 7 dollars for what seems like ramyun. Still, nice to support a small business and the flavors are familiar and comforting.

It's university food truck and it looks good in their picture. It took same as regular food order like 20-25 minutes which is not worth to wait and it's little expensive for one corn dog $5? This is street food that young kids eat in Korea after school. However I found the better place inside of Hmart in 2nd

I went to Drexel for my freshman year of college and transferred to LMU in 2014. The thing I miss most about Philadelphia is the Kami food truck. I ordered food there like 3 times a week. To say that the food here is amazing is an understatement.

KAMI is an great food truck without a doubt. It offers a handful choices of Korean food, including bibimbap, stir-fried chicken/beef with rice, and hoagies with Korean flavored fillings. The price is at $5-$10 range.As a food truck, KAMI's food is less authentic and less well-made than a couple of Korean restaurants in university city, but you do get the Korean taste. The wait is longer than most food trucks nearby. Also, it seems they streamlined their menu in 2018, so fewer choices than before.Overall, a solid 3-or 3.5-star food truck when you feel like Korean for lunch in university city.

This place is my go-to for grabbing a quick lunch during work. I always get the Kimchi Fried Rice with beef (you can also get chicken or tofu instead). For $7, it's a great deal. The portions are very generous with lots of kimchi and beef, topped with a fried sunny side up egg. It's very spicy but so good. I have tried the tteokbokki also, which is spicy and delicious too. I have dabbled in the other menu items a bit, like the bibimbap, but nothing is as satisfying as the kimchi fried rice. Totally recommend getting the kimchi fried rice here! For the price, you can't beat it. Like a typical food truck, they accept cash only. However, they recently started accepting Venmo! So that makes it a lot easier.

Oh I struggle with Kami. The staff on the truck are nice as heck, but I'm not jiving with the menu choices. I got the bibimbap since history has told me any Korean "spicy chicken" rice dish probably won't go over well, and I'm physically exhausted from bulgogi consumption. Now, bibimbap isn't my favorite food, but I'll eat it in a pinch, so I was excited to get some cheap and fast food on my way to class. It's definitely not quite the bibimbap I'm used to eating (and rightfully so, I've never had it from a food truck), but I guess it was worth the money. Come to think of it, I'm not exactly sure what one would sell at a truck this size besides ddeokbokki and chicken, so I guess a few rice dishes and ramen is probably all you're going to get. Still, KAMI fell below my expectations so I may or may not actually be back.

KAMI is a really great lunch option if you're in the area and short on time. The staff is great, food is cheap, and the portions are large. I got the bibimbap with added beef which came to $7.95. It was easily enough for two meals. It was tasty and flavorful, and I can't wait to try their other menu options!

The food is good but the chicken lacks meat, it kind of gives off a smokey taste but I'd still come back here for the sauce they put on it.

I've been a couple of times at this food truck. Each time, I ate Jae Yook Bokum, which is marinated pork with rice. It's a little spicy, but I enjoy it very much. I would definitely come back again.
