LA's Newest Food Truck Takes To The Streets With Fresh Sushi, Of All Things
Raw fish isn't necessarily the first item we'd be inclined to eat from a food truck, but the newest presence in Los Angeles' growing food truck fleet hopes to change that. The Fishlips Sushi truck, a brainchild of two longtime Japanese restaurateurs, has spent the last few weeks serving up sushi and tempura that's both affordable and tasty. So far so good: as near as we can tell, there has yet to be even a single report of food poisoning.
The truck hangs out mostly on the westside, but has been known to make culturally-appropriate trips out to downtown's Little Tokyo. There are usually two locations a day, one for lunch between 11:30am-2:00pm and one for dinner starting around 7pm and going around midnight. By the end of August they expect to be serving sushi 7 days a week.
The Fishlips Sushi website has a regular weekly schedule of where the truck should be, but you're still advised to check in regularly with @Fishlips_Sushi for exact locations. The entire project is very Web 2.0, all the way down to using UberTwitter to geotag and map the truck when they ask for advice about Venice parking (answer: Santa Monica).
Menu items run from between $2 to $3 for 2 pieces of Temari Sushi all the way up to $12 for a gigantic vegetable roll. Everything else on the menu, from the shrimp tempura to the spicy tuna, costs about around $8.
