Stopped by on a rainy day. Mainly here to express that the faux takoyaki balls were very difficult to eat. Cooked until hard and black. The inside was ok, but on top of being seemingly burnt, the sauce on top was an assault. Extremely bitter and sour, with an almost grainy texture. Not what I associate with takoyaki at all. I wasn't able to finish the food and ended up tossing a little less than half of it. Haven't tried anything else on the menu, though. Aside from the food, the person running the truck was doin their job, and I always love a strawberry ramune.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I got the kabocha squash with soba noodles and it is just so bad. Weird texture and bland. The rice balls were pretty good though, and the musubi looked tasty. I just feel disappointed because food is so expensive nowadays and this was supposed to be a special treat for myself on a bad day.

I’ve enjoyed my orders at the food truck. It’s very easy to place my order online and run over to grab it. There are few places I can grab a quick, healthy vegan lunch while driving between job sites. I’ve had most things on the menu and regularly get the tofu katsu, the bbq rice special they had and onigiri. The rice dish portions are sizable and make for good left overs. The spicy fries are full of flavor, but Spicy! Have water if you eat them while driving.
