Cititour Review:

Rhong-Tiam, Andy Yang’s popular Thai restaurant, has been no stranger to mobile food dispensing. Their now-defunct Thai cart was a winner in Chelsea. Now Yang has rolled out a small selection of food trucks serving New York City with diverse Thai-inspired food. His new Supreme Burger Truck looked to attract new fans, so I gave it a whirl.

The Basic was listed as a USDA Prime Angus Beef Burger with American cheese, lettuce, and tomato. But it was the unlisted ingredients of sauteed onions and sriracha aioli that made this burger memorable. Cooked on the border between rare and medium rare, some might be made nervous by the color of the patty. I want to assure you that you will love the tender texture and rich taste, and no post-meal stomach aches will occur. The potato bun was a lovely compliment to the meat and condiments.

This is a much less Thai-spice heavy version of a Thai burger than the one served at Ngam, but Rhong-Tiam hinted that “The Korean Burger,” a burger with kimchi, pickled daikon, wakame, and Thai tomago, will be served in the future. II prefer the basic Yang Burger, because while it’s fun to put a spin on the classic hamburger, the taste can be very hit-or-miss when getting wild with the variations.

If you see this Supreme Burger Truck on the street, give it a whirl. The burgers are seriously tasty, and even the empanadas are worth trying.
