Loopy’s Eatery Food Truck @ Crystal City Food Truck Thursdays – 5/25/2017

Where: Loopy’s Eatery Food Truck – @LoopysEatery
When: 5/25/2017
Who Picked: Nick & Eric
This week for food truck Thursday in Crystal City, the rain and clouds cleared just long enough for us to eat lunch. We both brought our rain jackets in case it rained again, but the sun broke through the clouds and blinded both of us as we both forgot our sunglasses. We got there after 11:30 am, it seemed like most of the crowd was scared away by the rain earlier. We quickly narrowed down our options and both ended up choosing Loopy’s Eatery.
#TheFood
Nick had the Bulgogi cheesesteak which wasn’t on the menu, but was a special listed in the window, which you can kind of see in the first picture. Loopy’s packs thinly sliced Bulgogi beef, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and American cheese on a sub roll and tops everything with spicy mayo. The Bulgogi had great flavor and the onions were perfectly cooked. The American cheese tied everything together nicely and the spicy mayo added plenty of flavor, but it didn’t quite meet my definition of spicy.
Eric had the “Bowl (bibim bap)” with beef. This is a traditional mixing bowl with a fried egg, carrots, spinach, bean sprouts, lettuce, white rice and a choice of meat with Korean chili sauce on the side. He really liked that both the carrots and the bean sprouts had been marinated and cooked, they had really great flavor. He also really enjoyed the sauce which seemed like a cross between Sriracha sauce and something sweeter. Upon further research, maybe it is house blend Gochujang Korean chili sauce? Eric added a little bit of the sauce to the top and made some room in the container before mixing everything together and adding the rest of the sauce.
#NoRegrets
#OtherNotes
The man at the window who took our orders was very friendly and attentive, we did not feel rushed placing the order or picking up the food, he even offered a bag for the food while he was putting the lid on the container.
#Decor
The truck design is minimalist and looked very clean on the inside. The green sphere in the logo reminded me of the green sphere on the old Peapod trucks.
#TotalBill
$11 including tax for the Beef Bowl. We both paid by credit card on a tablet.
