"Not sure what’s going on with some of these reviews, but any true Astoria native (born and raised, and not a transplant) knows this place is the real deal—great food, incredible flavor, and top-notch service. If your review isn’t about the food, don’t try to damage a business’s reputation and livelihood. Just had the chicken gyro salad—delicious, and I’ve even got leftovers for lunch tomorrow!"

"Stopped by the King Souvlaki food truck on 31st St & 31st Ave in Astoria for a very late-night bite and grabbed some pork kebabs on a stick. Unfortunately, the meat was barely warm, dry, and lacked the authentic flavor I was hoping for—even after adding lemon juice and salt. It just didn’t hit the spot and left me craving a more satisfying meal. Decent for a quick stop, but definitely not their best showing."

"This food truck was probably my favorite that I have ate at in NYC. They’re pork souvlaki with Peet’s and their king sauce is to die for. Very tender, juicy, and flavorful. They put this lemon vinaigrette sauce in them that I thought was going to be overpowering, but it wasn’t. It gave it the perfect balance. Their feta loaded fries with the lemon sauce was the highlight of the night. The staff was friendly and kind, and answered all the questions we had about the menu. Counting the days until I go again. Pork souvlaki: 10/10 Fries: 10/10"

"King Souvlaki in Astoria is an absolute gem! From the moment I approached their truck, the aroma of perfectly grilled meat filled the air, instantly making my mouth water. I opted for the mixed chicken and beef souvlaki, and it was a fantastic choice. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection – you could taste the quality of the ingredients and the care they put into their grilling. The portion size was generous, especially for the price, making it an excellent value. The pita bread was warm and fluffy, the perfect vessel for the flavorful meat, fresh tomatoes, onions, and their creamy tzatziki sauce. Every bite was a delightful explosion of authentic Greek flavors. What truly elevates the experience is the friendly and efficient service. Despite the steady stream of customers, the staff were quick, courteous, and clearly passionate about their food. You can tell this isn't just a job for them; they take pride in serving delicious, high-quality souvlaki. King Souvlaki is a must-visit for anyone craving genuine Greek street food in Astoria. The mixed chicken and beef souvlaki is a standout, offering a wonderful combination of textures and tastes. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! I'm already looking forward to my next visit."

"I was excited to try this food truck and ordered their pork pita. It was stuffed with soggy fries but the pork was marinated pretty well. The cut could have been fattier to give it a little more moisture. The pita hit it out of the ballpark with the softness. The platter had a salad of simple lettuce and a few cut tomatoes (bland as there was no dressing). I was a fan of their tzatziki though. The truck had 5 workers working! The wait time for the food was pretty fast. The food was very affordable with $10 a meat gyro and a few more dollars more for a full platter."
