Fishlips Food Truck has been rollin' out sushi on the street for over a year now. While their rolls & Temari (ball-shaped Kyoto-style sushi) are simply divine, their multiple menus are a bit much. My advice – stick to the pictures.
The Grubdown:
- just the right size, Spicy Small Set with 4 fire 'n ice Spicy Tuna Rolls, 3 lemon buttery Salmon Temari, and 2 sweetly charred Unagi Temari ($6.95)
If you've been hesitant about trying fresh fish from a truck, fear no more. You can actually watch the sushi chefs prepare your food right in front of your eyes through the large glass window after you order.
Speaking of eyes, mine were kind of hurting after reading their overwhelming 5+ menus, so I decided to just succumb to the pictures – writer, fail. I chose the Spicy Small Set which is just enough for one person, but you might leave still curious about that yummy sounding Crunchy Hand Roll ($3.50).
The Spicy Tuna Rolls are, as Katy Perry says,"Hot and Cold" with spicy seasoning, fresh 'n cool Cucumber, and creamy Avocado. The toasted Sesame Seeds give it a nice crunch, too.
The thin Lemon Wedges on the Salmon Temari add a surprising zest & bitterness from the rind that'll change your usual sushi salmon order forever, and the fish has a sweet buttery soft texture.
As for the Unagi (Eel), it has a great balance of sweet & char, but the sushi chefs really need to beef up the cut of the filet – a.k.a. I wanted more.
And last but not least, the rice is extremely light 'n fluffy, so be careful 'cuz it falls apart easily.
Overall, the quality of the fish is fantastic, and the value is huge for the small price.

The food truck business is a real great thing. I don't see what's bad in great diverse tastes, low cost food and great people. I sure prefer it over any fast food restaurant in the local mall.
