Still haven't had Kogi, because I haven't had the patience to wait in the lines.
Does it live up to the hype?

I personally don't like it and most of my friends think it tastes ok but definitely not worth the line imo

It depends on what you get. The first time I had it I got like a chicken burrito or something and I thought it was whatever and didn't think it was worth the hype.

Now that I've tried their short rib burrito, spam sliders, short rib sliders, kimchee shortrib quesadilla OMG they are SOOOO good.

Kogi is PURE HYPE. The food is OK, it's not worth the 1 hour wait in line. I rather get a REAL burrito thank you very much.

I like it but I honestly don't see the hype of chasing down the trucks and waiting

This.

I like it and all, its expensive for a not so big burrito and the wait is ridiculous.

the people who run the kogi truck work out of a bar on the westside. the place is called the alibi room i believe and the food is supposed to be way better than the truck. i have yet to make the trek out there to try it. one day.

I've honestly never tried the truck. I mean I just happened to post it up there because my friend was telling me about going there that night on facebook haha. Even though I still didn't go anyways. I would give it just a shot, but I wouldn't be such a frantic person about it, like said above I'd rather spend the 10-15bucks for a all you can eat kbbq. On the other hand, that alibi room sounds good too.... I just don't know if my car can take the beating in the LA streets =/
