Los Angeles: Nom Nom Truck
Nom Nom Truck (of Food Network’s “The Great Food Truck Race” fame) serves two items: báhn mì — Vietnamese sandwiches — and Vietnamese tacos. The day I stopped by for lunch, they were parked in front of 5900 Wilshire Blvd., a food truck hot spot. There were five or so trucks parked on the same block, but Nom Nom had the longest line.
The grilled pork Vietnamese taco was basically the innards of a báhn mì (pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber, cilantro, pork) served on a soft taco tortilla.
The lemongrass chicken báhn mì was tasty; the chicken was moist and the baguette was fresh and crunchy. I ordered mine without cilantro, because I’m on Team Anti-Cilantro.
The Nom Nom Truck is a solid and reasonably priced lunch option if they happen to be in the area; however, I don’t think I’d travel out of my way to eat there.

Hi,
Strange request but I was wondering if I could have your permission to use the photo of people standing in front of the NomNom food truck? I’m constructing a newsletter that talks about the Food Truck industry boom & could use that photo in my masthead.
Please let me know if I can have your ok.
Thanks very much,
