It was only a year ago when I would often comment on how the South Bay is the forgotten neighborhood that the food trucks just pass on by.

One year later, I’m happy to say that things have changed! Many food trucks are now making their way to the beach cities. I would no longer have to brave LA’s famous traffic to catch one of these meals on wheels. Instead, I’d just have to take a short trip to the other side of town. My patience & car are very thankful!

Fish Lips Sushi made its way to El Segundo and I knew I had to give it a try. I loved sushi, and I couldn’t resist having some in mobile form. In addition to sushi, they also offered many traditional Japanese fare in bento box form and even some teriyaki dishes. I really loved how they had calorie information posted on their menus. It was very helpful to people such as me who are watching their waist!

My crunchy roll came out just a few minutes after I ordered. being a sushi fan, I know that the wait would be a little longer as they obviously have to handcraft the rolls for you.

The rolls came in the familiar plastic box that sushi is served at grocery stores. The difference however was that this batch was very fresh and it showed. The rice & fillings were warm, it made it easier to eat since the rice wasn’t hard and cold like it is in most supermarket varieties.

My sushi meal totally hit the spot. The workers were very friendly and it was a nice breath of fresh air from the normal fast food.

If Fish Lips comes to your neighborhood, it’s worth checking out. Just note it will take a few minutes more for your sushi to be prepared since they do make it all on the spot.

As with all food trucks, don’t forget to bring your cash with you!
