Okamoto Kitchen — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Okamoto Kitchen food truck, and while the experience wasn't perfect, there were certainly some highlights worth mentioning. I ordered the Katsu curry burger and the Okamoto Punch, hoping to savor some unique and delicious flavors.

Starting with the Katsu curry burger, I must admit that I was a bit disappointed. The patty was dry, and to make matters worse, it was served slightly cold. The combination of these factors significantly affected the overall enjoyment of the burger. I believe that if the patty had been cooked juicier and served hot, it would have greatly improved the eating experience.

As for the Okamoto Punch, I found that it didn't pair well with the Katsu curry burger. The flavors seemed a bit mismatched, and it didn't enhance the overall taste of the meal. However, it's worth noting that taste preferences can vary, so this might be a matter of personal preference.

Despite the shortcomings of my first experience, I am willing to give Okamoto Kitchen another chance in the future. It's possible that the dryness and temperature issue with the burger were due to a high volume of orders at the time. So, next time, I'll make sure to visit the food truck when there are fewer people, hoping for a better culinary experience.

On a positive note, my cousin tried the Okonomi fries, and he thoroughly enjoyed them. He mentioned that they were flavorful and satisfying, indicating that the food truck does have some delicious offerings. It's encouraging to know that Okamoto Kitchen has other dishes that receive positive reviews.

In conclusion, my experience with Okamoto Kitchen was a bit mixed. The Katsu curry burger left much to be desired, being dry and slightly cold, while the Okamoto Punch didn't complement the burger as expected. However, I would be willing to give the food truck another try in the future, particularly when there are fewer people ordering. Additionally, the positive feedback on the Okonomi fries from my cousin indicates that there is potential for deliciousness...

Hands down the best food truck experience! Gerald and his crew always whip up an incredibly tasty meal and do it with an upbeat, positive attitude. Not to mention the creative and easily recognizable design on their food truck. Taking it a step further, I also found their website to be extremely user friendly, informative, and stylish. You can tell they definitely went above and beyond with the details compared to other food trucks.

Okay, onto the fun stuff... Most recently, they agreed to cater at our wedding after we told Gerald how much we loved the food and wanted to incorporate a fun alternative to the traditional wedding meal. He agreed but immediately told us to sample the interesting food options first to make an informed decision. It was really neat how he didn't pressure us and offered to be part of the process instead of simply providing a transactional experience. He also provided us with full transparency on the pricing details and catering options available. The initiatives that he took made the wedding planning experience that much more stress-free. To top it off, he even came by the wedding venue to run through the plan for the event as well as discuss all the little details to make sure we were in agreement.

Needlessly to say, we received SO SO SO many positive comments and praise for the professionalism, efficiency, and, most importantly, great taste of the entire dinner reception thanks to the hard work of Gerald and his team. We can't thank you guys enough and this review simply doesn't do justice to all the incredible feedback we received...

The food is ALWAYS fresh, innovative and delicious. The meal I tend to get is the tuna stack on the rice cakes. Insane good. Wish I had more of them every time. We also get the Okamoto fries every time. I don’t even like fries and these are incredible! So much umami!! My son loves the curry, although it can be seasonal. We have had pretty much everything on the menu plus seasonal. We even ordered their sauce because we love the flavors! The beverages are a great sweet treat to the savory dishes. I like the Thai tea, but we have had some of the other fruitier ones (I’m sorry I can’t recall the names!) the fruit punch and orange were the stand outs. Either way, these folks do their best to bring fresh food to our tables from a truck that has been giving them fits. Anything in their control is spot on. Anything out of their control cannot be blamed on them. They have personally called me to tell me an order was delayed and offered apologies and solutions. Who does that!? Great customer service. For those with complaints, I’ve found them to be unrealistic expectations. This food truck is out absolute favorite and I thank AnimeExpo for introducing them to us! Can’t wait to have our next...
