Teppanyaki Hut - North Portland — Restaurant in Portland

OkI have been eyeing pictures of these burritos from my friends of all my North Portland friends... While I sadly look from afar... From North Vancouver. I finally come down today, and it's closed.

I look, forlornly at the red truck, it's window woefully shut to me, burritoless, my journey bearing no fruit. I trudge to the Asian truck two wheels down, mumble out a tragic few words that get interpreted as lemongrass teriyaki bowl.

I sit at the now unquaint picnic benches, back to the red sushi truck, as I can't bear to look at my dream, snatched by time. I start to eat the second, nay, last prize.

I look at my friend, with sad puppy eyes. Without words, she knows. She looks past me. My sorrow is clearly too much for her to handle. I can't blame her. I wouldn't look at me either. Grief is just to much.

"Julia. Wait." She says. "The sushi truck. It's OPEN!!!"

I look up slowly, sesame seeds and white rice, the consolation prize just not satisfying my soul.

"Please don't do this to me. I can't handle this sort of torture today." I say, as I place my fork down.

"Look." Says she, pointing her finger towards the glowing red orb of the truck.

Sure enough, what do I see but an open window and the glory of a sushi burrito truck. I order. I pay. They call my name and I win a mega Mt Fuji burrito.

AND IT WAS...

Got 2 double dragons.Tasted very pre packaged. I’ve literally tasted better sushi at grocery stores. Does not look anything like the pictures online at all. BBQ eel was not present and very slimy even though I had a “fresh” burrito. Cabbage and veggies in the burrito taste very packaged as well and not fresh. The crab salad is actually imitation crab sticks. The shrimp tempura was decent even though it was tiny. Rice tastes old and dry. Avocado was hard and not ripe. Seaweed is not very good quality. Asked for a few substitutions and they were really upset with me. They had no one in line and the place was dead but maybe that should’ve been my red flag. Avoid...

My bf and I got here Sun at 6:30 excited to try some good ramen. Read the sign "If no one is at the window we're working on customers order." Totally fine so we respected that. The lady stepped out the truck door 10 min after we got there...didn't acknowledge us, totally fine she's probably on the phone. She gets back in the food truck for about 5 more min & we politely say .. Ma'am, we're ready to order. Only to tell us "Sorry, we're not serving ramen tonight." You could've saved us the time when you stepped out of your truck and told us you were closed or suggest putting your...
