Daily Life of a Food Truck

Anime and food collide!
We love anime! We love food! That’s why we made an anime style food truck. At the end of the night, after working hard on the food truck it’s finally time to relax and watch anime… about food. What’s not to love about food? It keeps you alive while also being tasty.

Help us reach #1 for LA Weekly’s Best of!
We here at Okamoto Kitchen are constantly humbled every day by all our customers. All things considered, we’re a relatively new truck that’s only been around since July 1, 2015 but have managed to grow so much thanks to all the customers that patronize our truck. Despite being so young back in 2015, we still managed to make it to the top 3 of the Readers’ Choice Awards.
Okamoto Kitchen’s winter adventure in Tokyo, Japan
During the holidays, we took a two week trip to Tokyo, Japan, where chef Chizuru was born and raised. For those who have never been to Tokyo, we wanted to share memories from our trip, giving you an idea of what the city is like as seen by a Japanese native.
LA Times features Okamoto Kitchen!
The anime influence in Okamoto Kitchen is easily apparent, but did you know our founder Gerald has strong ties to video games and the fighting game community? The LA Times wrote a nice story on our truck and dove a little deeper into the critical role that fighting games had in bringing two of our principle characters together.
