Wokker TX Ranger

hard working cool guys who can make a mean spread of Asian fusion. Forever craving pork belly pad Thai

This review is based on their fried rice, tamarind ribs/​curly fries, and brisket egg rolls. I stopped by on a Friday night when they were at Little Woodrows’ in the Heights. Parking was limited so I had to park in the adjacent neighborhood and walk over. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the fried rice and ribs — but felt that the brisket egg rolls lacked a bit in flavor. The fried rice came with a generous helping of pork belly and gave you the option of adding a fried egg on top. Sadly, the yolk on our egg wasn’t runny but if it was, it probably would’ve sent me into a deep food coma.

I have only tried their brisket egg rolls yet, but I am sure trying everything else! Love their flavor!

Tried their pork belly fried rice. Kimchi taste as if it came from a grocery store, my fried egg was not so fried, but looked as if it were still raw, There was clear liquid all over. The pork was good although could have been more crispy and fried rice was ok. The guys working the truck were very friendly, but could have toned it down on the techno music. But I guess it’s fitting when at U of H.

I tried Wokker TX Ranger for the first time when it was at the UH Law School. I couldn’t find the truck at first since it was at a spot that I personally don’t think many students would pass. I decided to look one more time and I found it.
When I went around noon on a Friday, it was only one other person which I thought was odd but menu students don’t stay on campus on Fridays. I ordered the tamarind ribs. I thought it came with rice from the pics I had seen on Unilocal but it can’t with curly fries which is fine for me. The ribs were tender and crispy topped with sesame seeds. The tamarind flavor did not overpower the flavor of the ribs. It was a good compliment.
I didn’t ask for ketchup for my fries. Overall, I like the tamarind ribs. I would order from this food truck again.

This place has some of best pad Thai I’ve ever tasted! It had a nice Texas twist to it of course with the awesome brisket. Their Brussel sprouts looked really good too. Looking forward to trying this place again.

Super friendly, and great customer service!
I got to try this truck yesterday at the Winterlight festival, and when I saw that they had Brussels sprouts on the menu I was all in.
The chefs were so nice and assured me that I would be in love with their good eats. They had a great menu of some nice Asian fusion meets Texas eats like ribs.
I ordered the Brussels sprouts because I live for them and then to see they had bonito flakes and a signature sauce. Unfortunately I have had way better and many places. They were very greasy, bitter the sauce needed something maybe like plum sauce or tamarind to balance all the acidity. The Bonito flakes were good but didn’t add much difference in texture, maybe raisins would be a nice addition.
I wanted to love them so much because the guys are awesome, so if you guys are reading this and ever go to Austin, go to Uchiko and try the sprouts, hands down the best I have ever had in my life.
I will definitely try something else from them in the future though.

Wow, these guys do fries right, and a massive amount of food for a very fair price. Really friendly guys too, ordered had my food in 5 minutes or less, and back to the office. Now I’m about to collapse into a fries induced food coma, but so worth it the brisket is divine. Nice job guys, keep up the good work!

Lately it seems like all I’ve been wanting is kimchi related foods, and Wokker TX Ranger’s Pork Belly Fried Rice was no exception. We noticed the food truck was at Silver Street one day, and decided to head over just to try it. While the brisket curly fries looked really appetizing, we decided to stick with ordering the Pork Belly Fried Rice. It came with a nice runny egg, kimchi, wok-​fried rice and pork belly! The portion was definitely generous, but it definitely didn’t last long. While the pork belly wasn’t my favorite, the rice wok-​flavor definitely made up for it. I’m definitely going to have to find them again to try those curly fries, however the fried rice will definitely be tempting me.

I’ve been trying to track this truck down ever since I had it one day at a food truck gathering. But every time I remember about it, it’s about to close. The day I got this, I got the bbq fries and the pork belly rice bowl. The bbq fries were pretty good. The flavors were amazing! The pork belly rice bowl. Droolllllls. The sauces that you can get tastes so good with the pork belly. Ugh everything about it is so good. Just get it.

Here I am with a generous portion of their pork belly fried rice. It’s piping hot, and I’m sitting outside and enjoying this beautiful November weather. But… I’m berating myself. I just saw someone walk by with the brisket curly fries and I’m torn. The fries are spilling out of their container and they look all nice and crispy. Gosh. I should have tried something new but their fried rice was sooo good last time. You get some egg, kimchi, and a scoop of their sweet and bbqed pork, which sits on a bed of freshly made rice. It’s a spicy and sweet explosion in my mouth. Oh gosh, another group came by with fries, but their food is very filling.
I hope they come back to 1600 or I’m hunting them down. I need to try those fries…

Excellent, crave-​worthy offerings! Love the guys at Wokker and really enjoyed the pork belly fried rice. In fact, I ate three servings of it in a matter of two days. I found the food truck in the Heights and hunted them down for another helping at Karbach Brewery.
I have also tried the brisket pad thai and brisket egg rolls. The brisket is tender, delicious, and moist – though I am still on the fence on I feel about it infused with Asian fare. That fried rice, though – damn.

I have never in
Life had a combination of brisket. fries…spicy mayo all wrap into one. Let me tell my mouth was not disappointed at all. The way that meat sat in between those waiting on me! This food blessed me to the fullest!!! I am a fan!!!

I’m on a food truck crave lately and am always finding new food trucks to try out. My boyfriend decided to go on a food truck adventure with me and we decided on this place. They were located next to third coast volleyball where people can go and play volleyball in the open on sand with friends. The location is nice if you’re into some active play and when you’re hungry you could stop at wokker tx ranger and grab some bites to eat. It is a very convenient location if you’re in the area, but if you’re not then it can be a far drive.
There are plenty of parking spaces around the area. You don’t have to walk very far to get to the truck, but be careful walking in the grass. There are ant piles everywhere and these ants mean business!
PORK BELLY FRIED RICE
The fried rice wasn’t bad. It was a very big portion and I couldn’t finish it all. The fried rice had a sweet flavor to it, which was a bit odd because I’ve never associated fried rice with sweetness. It had a taste of fishiness as well. like they cooked the rice with kimchi or something. The pork belly added some fatness and the kimchi was tangy, but not too sour. The biggest problem I had with the fried rice was that the portion was off. There was a lot of rice, but the ratio of meat to rice was off. There was probably about 5 pieces of pork belly and a little serving of kimchi. The egg was cooked nicely though and added some rich flavor to the rice.
BRISKET CURLY FRIES
I was really excited to try the fries because it looked so good! It was really cheesy and the fries were crispy. The meat was really tender and seasoned well. Overall, the fries were pretty good and tasty, but they were so filling. It was a very large serving as well. My boyfriend and I couldn’t even finish sharing one.
I would come back to try out their pad thai and eggrolls. Service was good and friendly, but the wait was a bit long compared to other food trucks I’ve been to. If I was starving, I probably would’ve died waiting for my food. I’ll visit again eventually, but for now. I’m gonna continue my food truck adventure and try new places.

To be honest I was a little skeptical at first when I heard it was a «Texan-​Asian» food truck… But WOW, their food was AMAZING! My outlook of BBQ-​like foods has totally been changed (I’m not usually a fan of BBQ… but today I was).
Went with a group of friends to check out Wokker at the Texas Lone Star Beer Food Festival. There was 6 of us so we ordered one of everything lol: the brisket eggrolls, brisket curly fries, shaken beef, bonito brussels sprouts, brisket pad Thai, spicy tamarind ribs, and pork belly fried rice. I really wished I was a cow and had like an extra stomach or something so I could keep eating everything… Everything was SO GOOD!!! I HIGHLY recommend the pork belly fried rice though. It was deeliciousss. The pork belly they used was so tender and it was marinated just right. There was so much flavor packed in it. I actually woke up this morning craving more! And the rice they used wasn’t the regular jasmine rice, it was the thicker, fatter, stickier/​chewier rice that they tend to use at kbbq restaurants. I. Love. That. Rice. It’s so yummy. And it was drenched with the sauce from the pork belly. I could eat it by itself.
The tamarind ribs and pad Thai were my second favorites. The pad thai noodles were actually a little too wet/​saucy imo compared to pad Thai at regular Thai restaurants… But I still liked it bc the flavor was awesome, and they included a lime for you to add extra sourness if you needed it. There were peanuts too, I think I shall ask for extra peanuts next time. And the tamarind ribs… Get it. Just get it.
There’s a LOT of meat to this food truck, so also try the brussel sprouts for your fill of veggies. I used to not like brussel sprouts bc they’re kind of bitter. But the way they grilled the sprouts here or whatever the heck they do to it was magical. It was lightly salted and I really liked the crispy texture! The shaken beef also comes with veggies too if you’re in need of veggies. It has the most juiciest tomato chunks and the onions came as normal sweet yellow pieces as well as tangy pickled purple strips.
Truck is kind of hard to find since they move locations and don’t have a set address on Unilocal,but if you ever finally hear about the location of this place, definitely go check it out! I think they update their addresses on Facebook!

Them Brussels sprouts though we’re delicious. Really, if this place was closer to my house I would hit them up everyday! Too bad, it’s all the way in the Heights which is an hour drive from me.
I’d say I had an orgasm in the mouth after battling these greens. Dang, good. Parents are y’all’s having trouble with getting your babies to eat they veggies?! Let them smack on these crispy, sweet, baby cabbage rolls.
Oh, and don’t let me forget those brisket eggrolls. Brisket you say? I’d tell you what I’ve never had this before and man was it yummy in my tummy!
Staff is dang friendly – guys just of smiling at you while you eat their creations. I’d be grinning hard too!
Prices aren’t outrageous like most food trucks, they just right! Check them out and you won’t be sorry…

Perhaps there’s nothing more emblematic of the past decade than the food truck. It’s a product of the rise of the foodie, the mashup of culture, social-​media driven marketing, and that weirdly defiant (but not really) relationship most of us have with corporate America.
Food trucks gave us Korean-​Mexican fusion, waffles topped with all sorts of amazingness, legitimate Southern BBQ, trucks dedicated to pork, trucks dedicated to bacon, Asian food, Latin food, American food and so, so much more– all from the convenience of a mobile kitchen– situated close to your office building during weekday lunch hours, and at your local hangout during weekends.
I don’t know if I’ve come across a food truck that manages to kick butt on every level, better than Wokker. Came to Houston for Memorial Day weekend and found these guy’s parked outside of Little Woodrow’s in the Heights during the Cavs-​Hawks game. After a late lunch– umm two lunches– I hadn’t planned on eating a big dinner but I was intrigued at first by the name and then by the menu. Then I saw a customer walk away with kimchi fried rice and pork belly topped with a sunny side up egg and I knew I was done for.
A group of friends and I pooled together our money and decided to order one of everything on the menu. We were expecting NY food truck portions. But Texans really take the «Everything’s bigger in Texas» thing to heart. After my lunch of phở, my snack of banh mi and my second lunch of crawfish, I was almost bursting at the seams. And still I scarfed down all of this deliciousness. It’s that good.
The standouts for me were the pork belly fried rice, the shaken beef and the brisket curly fries. What’s unique about Wokker is they’re not really serving food truck food– or a food truck version of restaurant food. You’re getting legitimate, sit-​down restaurant quality, imaginative, inspired, delicious food but at food truck prices and food truck convenience.
So good. So, so good. Like, I’m already planning my next trip to Houston just to eat here, good.
*insert Chuck Norris reference*

The pork belly fried rice is by far one of the best things I have ever eaten! The pork belly is cooked to perfection! The guys who run the truck are super nice, and always have a smile on their faces.
Only things: adding Chili garlic sauce to the condiment selection would be great. Getting an ice cold drink is almost impossible.

I hit up Wokker Texas Ranger (first off, incredible name) at the Houston Food Park for the first time. They were out of their chicken fried chicken skewers so I ended up going with the brisket egg rolls and the brisket curly fries. The brisket egg rolls are out of this world and are basically about as amazing as they sound. Egg rolls stuffed with brisket served with a sweet and tangy sauce.
The curly fries came with a generous helping of cheese, spicy mayo, tamarind sauce, and brisket. Also very good but I had to knock a star off because there should have been more brisket. The brisket is cut in cubes rather than strips so you don’t get too much to accompany your fries. They have a lot of other interesting options so I’ll be back!

Just tried their pork belly fried rice with kimchi. Their food truck stopped by our office during lunch and of course today was the day I didn’t bring anything with me… so I had to find something to eat.
There were a few yummy things that I wanted to try but couldn’t eat them all. Some of my co-​workers however did order what seemed like one of everything. They ran out of the shaken beef which some wanted to try. Would suggest carrying more of the popular items but what I and others had was really good. Even better since we didn’t have to drive anywhere to get food.
Will try again, hopefully they’ll have shaken beef next time.
