My team decided to splurge out after a film shoot and we all thought it was lovely.

I typically shy away from sushi outside of an actual sushi restaurant and would never do sushi from…read morea food truck! Fortunately for me, I hadn't eaten all day and craving sushi all while waiting to do some last minute Thanksgiving grocery shopping! I parked in the lot of the Ralph's and just on the other side of a short wall, parked on the street was Takeshy Town! A rare sight amongst taco and burger trucks, I decided to give it a look and soon after a try. The chef and cashier were super friendly and answered all my questions, including giving a newly returner to seafood pescatarian, a few suggestions! Not to mention,the truck itself is clean and well kept. - Vegetarian Sushi (5 out of 5) - Inside: cucumber, carrots, cream cheese. Outside: avocado, chipotle sauce, sesame seed - El Viejon (5 out of 5) - Inside: cream cheese, cucumber, tempura shrimp, surimi crab, fresh habanero. Outside: gratin mozzarella, tampico mix, eel sauce, chipotle mayo, sesame seed - Overall experience (5 out of 5) I MOST DEFINITELY recommend everyone try this truck out! You won't regret it!

This little hole in the wall spot was a random decision we made one night to try new locations…read more They specialize in chicken, which is breaded and crispy in the best way. They have four different flavors to try from, we ordered two of the four and they included some extra pieces of the remaining two for us to sample once we received our food! While I cannot recall which of the 4 we tried, I have to admit they were all delicious. Even the chicken with out any sauce was incredible! We returned a second time to try their steak burgers and those were incredible. The meat was thinly sliced and marinated well, the buns were soft and fluffy. While there is no indoor area to sit, they have a lovely outside seating and it is decorated very nicely. The staff is also so nice and welcoming, we were greeted by the same person each time and they completed the experience. Will definitely return to try the remaining items on their menu.

Good halal food option in the area…read more I ordered a Korean Fried Chicken - Sweet & Spicy Bowl with rice and Korean Kimchi. I had also asked if I could order a side of Korean Fried Chicken - Original to try. The chicken and rice were both good. The chicken had a nice crispy exterior and flavorful sauce. The rice was well cooked. The kimchi was nice and crunchy but the flavor was just okay for my liking. I would have liked to have seen a bit more attention to detail with regard to my order. A couple things: I was given the option of either chopsticks or a fork and stated I wanted chopsticks and was instead given a fork/knife/spoon/napkin set. And I had also asked if I could order a side of Korean Fried Chicken - Original to try (which I was willing to and would've been happy to pay for) and instead was offered it as a sample. Which I was like okay, that's kind of what I wanted anyway - a sample or small portion. And I didn't receive it. Neither of these points are reasons for me to not want to go back but I had to mention it because it was my first time there (and the owner or staff member I interacted with seemed to be aware of that since they asked how I heard of this place) and it was also not busy. There was not a single other customer in sight (okay, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they were busy with online/phone pick-up orders?). But given that there were no other customers present makes feel like there was no reason on part of the owner or staff member to overlook these things. I also could've addressed these things after I received my order since although I ordered to go I ate a bit there but alas my social anxiety got the best of me. Overall, the food was good. And I would come back to try other things on the menu and also recommend to others to try because it's halal and Korean (a combination that's hard to come by) so definitely worth it for that reason alone.

My first time having an arepa and I'm glad it was at The Arepa Stand!…read more We ordered: - The 405* - The Red Queen Both of these were extremely yummy! To me, shredded chicken has a tendency to have a rubbery texture and I'm happy to report that isn't the case with the Red Queen! Full of flavor and extra delicious paired with the Arepa Stand's hot sauce. It's difficult to choose a favorite between the two arepas I ordered, but I'm leaning my preference towards The 405 simply because I believe every dish with platanos and black beans is perfect. Obviously this was delicious and I can't wait to have it again! I will note that this is a very messy meal! Be prepared for a lot of spillage, but just know it's worth it. The Arepa Stand pops up at a few locations - enjoyed mine at The Hollywood Farmer's Market (every Sunday).

Dating back thousands of years to indigenous populations, they were made long before modern borders existed. Both countries claim the arepa as a national staple, but they prepare and eat them differently. Here the corn masa sandwich is filled with various interesting ingredients. I ordered the Classic Combo which was a main arepa, the The Red Queen- Shredded chicken, pickled red onions, avocado sauce, dutch cheese and cilantro. The Classic Combo offers Your choice of arepa + drink + fried plantains. The arepa arrived huge and packed making it a bit messy to eat but that is not a big problem. The Plaintain were delicious. This combo was very filling and satisfying. For street like food the price was a bit high but the flavors were very tasty.

The food was absolutely delicious - the bowl was filling, super flavorful, and everything blended well together. The smoothie was also perfect - not too sweet, full of fiber and filling!

I love the Chinese Chicken salad here, and ordering through the app is easy (yay to free avocado…read morerewards!). My only nitpick is that sometimes there are a few dry or gristly pieces of chicken, but overall this is such a satisfying meal without the greasy guilt from other fast-casual places.

I received my order and immediately knew this was not enough. I weighed it out, see the photos and how much 56g of protein actually should be. 170-180g of chicken = 56g of protein. 70g is LESS THAN HALF!!! Sure maybe the sweet potato, broccoli, rice, etc have 2g of protein each. Even still it is less than half the portion of chicken that is being advertised. Why do places insist on feeding kitty cat sized portions?? False and misleading marketing. I will be requesting a refund promptly and not supporting this business any longer.
