Strangest question asked:
According to TK some strange things have been requested since operation. Some have asked for Sake, which is understandable considering it is sushi, but come on guys, very illegal, costly and virtually impossible for a street food vendor to sell alcohol, but good try. An even stranger request has been for tacos and burritos. I guess people just assume that all food trucks in LA sell tacos, but open your eyes as the truck clearly states “FISHLIPS Sushi” on the side; no implications of tacos or burritos. TK is patient and he respects all of his customers and will grant a request if it is in reason and falls into his sushi catering truck.
Special Thanks:
Thanks to TK for showing us the inside of the truck. Zach Schueller from Zach Schueller Photography was on hand at the LA Street Food Festival and shot some great pics. Special thanks to Shawna Dawson(SauceLA) & Sonja Rasula(UNIQUE LA) for putting on this amazing gathering of mobile vendors. I will definitely stop for sushi the next time I see the Fishlips truck.
