It was around 2am last night, and there were lots of people waiting in line and eating at this parking lot in Koreatown (across from the new Galleria market on 5th st ). Now, this is not just a typical food truck. They make handmade tortilla, and they are cooking this huge pork on skewers. Also there are salsa bar so that you can add more salsa toppings to your food, and tables and chairs, so you can sit down and eat there.
How was the food? Everybody loved their food.

After reading so many good reviews on Yelp about this Arashi sushi, I had to check this place out. Unfortunately, the sushi was just average and their robata-yaki were bland. But good prices on Happy Hour.
Because our shrimp robata-yaki was old and we returned it, they gave us one of the dessert for free.
