The food truck trend doesn't seem to be waning. The Rickshaw Dumpling Truck, a mobile offshoot of Anita Lo’s Rickshaw Dumpling Bar, is the latest vending vehicle to hit the streets, offering a savory alternative to the city’s rapidly multiplying dessert trucks. Run by Kenny Lao, the truck serves an abbreviated menu of dumplings from the restaurant, like pork and Chinese chive, chicken and Thai basil, and edamame. Additional flavors from the restaurant’s menu can be custom-ordered for events. The retail cost for six dumplings is $6. The base cost for truck rental is $500; food and staffing is additional.
