Wisp Express, a sushi food truck that roams the streets of Jersey City, earned a spot on Yelp’s list of the top 100 food trucks in the country. It stands out as the only New Jersey entry on the national ranking.
Yelp compiled the list by evaluating ratings, reviews, and overall customer satisfaction. The result is a roundup of standout food trucks from coast to coast, and Wisp Express has clearly made an impression.
Since opening in 2020, Wisp Express has built a strong reputation for fresh sushi served straight from its mobile kitchen. The truck holds a 4.9-star rating on both Yelp and Google, backed by nearly 100 reviews on each platform. Customers praise its quality, calling it the best sushi in the city.
The team behind Wisp Express sources fresh fish daily from New York markets. Their menu features staples like spicy tuna rolls, yellowtail jalapeno, pork dumplings and a citrusy ceviche that changes with the seasons. The truck often parks near the waterfront on Grand Street but shifts locations throughout Jersey City, updating fans on social media.
The food truck scene in New Jersey runs deep, making it surprising that Wisp Express is the only local truck to make Yelp’s national list. This shows a lot of great trucks haven’t gotten the attention they deserve yet.
Despite the challenges of operating a kitchen on wheels, the Wisp Express team has attracted a loyal following. The truck nearly closed last year but bounced back with steady support from the community.
In a city crowded with food options, Wisp Express shows that sometimes quality and consistency matter more than a permanent address.
