I thought I did a review on this place before.... guess not. Anyways. I get two things here. Either the fish katsu egg topper or the fish katsu kurry. The prices aren't that bad and you order from a touch screen monitor.

Located inside SpeedZone in the City of Industry. Going on every first Friday of the month. $5 bucks to get in (but I heard of people being able to sneak in). If you decide to be civil and pay the entrance fee, you'll get $5 worth of free games that can be redeemed at the arcade.<br />

I'm personally not a huge fan of the kogi truck, but I've been reading a lot about the other new trucks out there and all the craze that's behind them. I'm jumping on the bandwagon, finally. <br />
<br />
The Food Trucker is a great place to find out about all the different food trucks out there, what events are coming up, and they have a real cool application where they have a map showing where there are open trucks at that very moment. Don't know how accurate it is, but it's a great concept.Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338257304191375266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896808459367148756.post-18247807007828993002010-09-29T08:40:00.000-07:002010-09-29T08:40:41.216-07:00Phoenix Food BoutiquePhoenix Food Boutique<br />

Learned about this place from a former co-worker who doesn't even live around the area. Go for the shaved snow (not shaved ice). I like the one with strawberries and chocolate fudge. Ask for extra condensed milk. Good for two people or maybe more.
