Algorithm Restaurants - Norristown

What happens when a super awesome food truck becomes a restaurant? You get creative food, fast service, and a vibe like a familiar hangout from your youth. We got a world tour of tacos and Vietnamese ice coffee, and something from the special board too- way too much food but couldn't resist- had to pack it in and roll out of there. Want to come back soon to try more- everything sounded so good!!!

Embarking on a street-side culinary journey at Algorithm, the food truck with a distinctive edge, I sampled their signature Cheese Fries and intriguing Soy Sauce Fries. The Cheese Fries were a harmonious blend of crispy and soft, topped with a luscious layer of melted cheese—a true indulgence. However, while the Soy Sauce Fries boasted the same satisfying thickness, their aggressive saltiness overshadowed the fries' natural flavor. Algorithm's commendable service added a warm touch to the experience, making it a food truck worth revisiting for its cheesy delights and innovative offerings.

Algorithm has been our household 's go to can 't be bothered to cook tonight spot for fantastic vegan junk food since they opened. Matt, the owner, often works the register and clearly puts a lot of heart and thought into creating a menu full of unique yet classic meals that would satisfy even the most skeptical meat loving omnivore. When not making recommendations or taking orders, he makes the rounds to check in with customers and see if they need anything. I 'm there enough that I 've ordered and enjoyed almost the entire set menu, so I usually go for whatever special item 's on offer, since those come and go. Today I had the Manchurian Chili Carrot Dog House made Carrot Not Dog topped with Lentil Pea Manchurian Chili, Raita and Cucumbers on a Sweet Potato Roll and the Dirty Chai Milkshake the perfect lunch combo. I 'm also a huge fan of the Nashville Hot, the Cheesesteak might be my favorite vegan cheesesteak in the city! , the Breakfast Sandwich, and the Korean BBQ Fries. And the sweet treats usually some sort of decadent and inventive cheesecake are never not delightful . I also appreciate the free cold water and the emphasis on compostable to go containers. And shoutout to Cody and the rest of the lovely staff there. Despite being near the big intersection of Passyunk, 5th, and Bainbridge across from Philly Aids Thrift , the front of Algorithm could be a little easy to walk by without noticing, but you 'd be a fool to miss it!
