Yes, I told you I visited enough food trucks at South Bay Food Fest to last me through the rest of the year! The Temaki Truck was another sushi on wheels. Not that I’m complaining. I can’t get enough sushi & the more sushi trucks, the better. Yes I know it may seem weird to get sushi from a truck but I figure, the rest of the trucks are also transporting raw meats & what have you. As long as it’s kept at the right temperature, it’s all good. Haven’t gotten sick from a food truck yet, so I’m happy.

The Temaki Truck has a good selection of hand rolls, which is in fact what temaki means. They’re portable sushi, no chopsticks needed. Although if you prefer chopsticks, there’s also a few maki rolls too. They also have vegetarian selections as well.

What I liked about the Temaki Truck was the fact that they carried octopus, something rarely seen at most quick service sushi places.

 

I had the octo shrimp served in their rendition of an Asian ceviche. Fresh shrimp, octopus, and smelt eggs all in a mildly spicy sauce with crunchy veggies, wrapped in warm sushi rice and seaweed. It was pure happiness in my mouth. If that wasn’t enough to bring me back to sample more of the menu, the staff was. They were all very polite and friendly. Yes you have to wait a little longer for sushi than fast food, it’s a given but totally worth it.

Thanks for the deliciousness Temaki Truck! Hope to see you again soon.
