From the recent Korean taco truck phenomenon known as Kogi’s taco truck in Los Angeles springs a new offshoot. A blend of all the banh mi stores that popped up in New York and Kogi’s, here comes the Nom Nom truck. It’s a Vietnamese taco truck, and it’s coming to a street corner near you (in LA at least).

Per blogs.laweekly.com:

“Nom Nom Truck is owned and operated by 3 UCLA grads, David Stankunas, Marisa Chien and Jennifer Green, who have plans to park on the Westside, near their old haunts. Stankunas, a former business major who is half-Vietnamese, says he always wanted to open his own restaurant, but was worred about how much capital it required.

Then Kogi came to town (“Wait, you just need a truck?”) and Stankunas quickly changed his business model. As for the name, “it’s Internet speak for going wild on some delicious food.” The website’s up, the menu is being worked out (grilled pork banh mi, lemongrass chicken tacos) and the truck will be ready to roll by the time students repopulate Westwood.”
