Great seafood and bakery spot. Get the clam chowder bread bowl with the seafood topping. Crab melt is pretty good too. Prices aren't bad. There's another location in Pismo Beach.

Sake Sushi - Walnut

Sake Sushi

Walnut, CA 91789
(909) 594-5221

Didn't receive many great reviews on Yelp, but $1.00 (per piece) sushi isn't too bad. The salmon is decent. There's an okay $4.25 crunch roll. They have half off beer all day too.

SGV Food Truck Festival - City of Industry



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.

Be prepared to spend a lot.... of money (on food) and time (in lines).

The Food Trucker

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.

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.

Phoenix Food Boutique

Decent, cheap, Chinese food, that's open relatively late. There's 3 locations within a 4 mile stretch of Colima in Rowland Heights. They got shrimp with glazed walnuts for about $7!

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. Their crispy mushrooms are bomb too.
