Num Num Food Cart

Simple tasty Vietnam sandwiches. The best is the hero sandwich which is a baguette filled with chicken and veges.

Two different times, the same order: Chicken Curry
First time: dry rice, dry curry. Fan? Not really. But the flavours were great!
Second time: moist rice, saucier curry. Fan — raving!
The moral of the story, if the price is right to try something twice, just do it. And for 7.25 — it is. I love three things about this food truck: 1. The staff are the sweetest! 2. They have a loyalty stamp card. 3. Usage of biodegradable containers and cutlery.
And just like the brevity of this review, so is the amount of time I’ve had to wait for my food.

I was so happy to see a new food truck in my neighbourhood so I decided to try it for lunch. The customer service was awesome and the food tasty but very awkward. I took my roll home to eat and I’m glad I didn’t have to attempt to eat this on the go or in an office. I needed a full plate, real cutlery and I STILL made a mess. The food was veering on the expensive side but the portion was pretty ample and it was tasty. I would definitely try another dish here but would reserve sending people to the food cart till I try another dish

Num Num is Delicious! I love the simple menu and their branding is catchy too.
Overall: Great food. Great customer service. Great experience every visit.

Hmm. I wonder if I missed anything. Since there are 5 star ratings! So is it the best vietnamese food they’ve had? Or the best cart food they’ve had? Maybe the cutest? Because thats what reeled me in. The cute little ninja’s on the food truck! Man does Marketing work. and Wow. am I a sucker for cute things!
Alright. I have to say. its NOT BAD. But its MeH! and only MeH! I’ve had better vietnamese, and I’ve had better cart food else where. The price is leaning towards medicore to high. due to the lack of quality of the food. Plus inconvenient: there’s no where to take your food to eat. The rice bowl. is a need to hold and properly eat type of dish. Its a good thing that there was a Starbucks near by. I bought a pumpkin spice latte, and sat down to eat. (YUM pumpkin spice lattee!!)
MENU:
There’s a few options you can choose from. Bahn (vietnamese sandwiches), spring rolls, and rice bowls. And I opted for the pork rice bowl. Please follow their recommendation, and get the chilli vinegrette sauce (its the usual sauce you put on dry vietnamese noodles) I think thats the only reason my food was edible. haha. Don’t do the peanut sauce. Its really just melted, watered down peanut butter. They don’t put any of their own spice and flavor into it. Pretty disappointing peanut sauce.
Soooo my dish:
Half rice, Half veggies, lots of raw beansprouts (i hate raw beansprouts), very little shredded pork :(and i added an egg for $ 1. They said its fried. but you have to know its more of a runny sunny side up. Taste and Quality is very mediocre. I prefer heading to Chinatown and getting my Vietnamese craving taken care of in a proper Phở place.
But hey, its a cute experience. I always like to try these food carts: D
Parking meter is — $ 2 an hour
but if you park a block or two farther. you can be luckee to find free street parking (close to TD bank)

My friend and I were very excited to see an affordable, healthy takeaway option in our neighborhood. To my great disappointment I have found their food to be less than appealing. The rice paper wrap was torn, the chicken warm-​ish (not hot, not cold), rubbery and without any flavor what so ever. Any flavor to be found in this dish would be in the sauce, both of which were average at best. The peanut sauce had an odd grainy consistency, while the sweet chili sauce was the same from any bottle. They placed the wrap directly in the paper container, so the whole thing stuck to the bottom and you were left trying to scrape it out with the plastic fork provided. Not impressed. I don’t imagine that this establishment will last long in my neighborhood.

While doing some shopping in South Granville, I spotted the Num Num Food Cart on West 11^th — it totally caught my attention and once you visit as well, you will see why! They are all about Vietnamese Fusion. I had the baquette with chicken… and I have had many Vietnamese subs before… but the others don’t even come close. The meat is tender, they use special sauces, and the bread is so fresh. You can’t beat a lunch like this for under $ 7! It was filling too (although I would have loved to eat 3 because they are so good!) The staff is friendly and the food cart is extremely clean. I highly recommend Num Num and give them 2 thumbs up!
