Found this whole in the wall on Yelp , and it was a blessing. Needed a good Harry meal for dinner . My boyfriend and I shared the trip that comes with veggies and fried rice ; then protein filet mignon , shrimp and chicken . The portion was really good . The flavors were amazing. The service was pretty solid the food took about 20 minutes to cook. Would definitely come back I think it was worth every dollar. read more

I feel terrible leaving this review because I know the owner for many of years probably 20 years he used to work at Benihana he was a chef we always asked for, When he opened the food truck we went almost twice a week food was amazing But since the last 2 years he hasn't cooked anymore and he hired a crew and the food hasn't been up to par, And it is very dirty I really hope the owner reads this and takes the time out to have his crew wash they're hands and sanitize correctly and clean the truck and offer more better quality like he used to Again sorry man I really did not want to leave this review but last 3 times I ate here the food was bad and the workers and truck is very dirty read more

This place is great! The food is cooked FRESH which means there is a bit of a wait, but that's a good thing. They have quality food and dressings. Also the workers are extremely polite with excellent customer service. They are very personable at the window versus feeling ignored and trust me-- They in there COOKIN‼ so delicious! read more

The portions were generous and everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and well-seasoned, the chicken had great char and flavor, and the shrimp were juicy with that classic teppanyaki sear. Everything sat on a bed of flavorful fried rice that soaked up all the sauces without getting greasy. What really stood out was the balance--nothing was overdone, and each protein kept its own flavor instead of tasting the same. The veggies added a nice crunch and freshness that rounded out the plate really well. read more

405 Teppanyaki - Japanese Near Me - Van Nuys, California

All I can say is... INCREDIBLE!! Food was cooked exactly as ordered and every single bite was delicious! I got the NY steak plate with the garlic butter and siracha aioli sauce and combined it was the perfect combo! Very friendly staff and quick from ordering to pickup. Loved the food truck, I just wish they had the prices listed for items on the outside. Food truck was located off of sepulveda along with other food trucks. Ambiance was nice and the truck looked well maintained. If I run into them again I will absolutely be ordering a different meal again! read more

405 Teppanyaki is a great option for those looking for a quick, easy and tasty experience. Located on Sepulveda between Oxnard and Hatteras (in front of the PetCo), visitors will usually find a few scattered food trucks in this area. Parking is usually a breeze as there is plenty available in the adjoining retail space lot. The menu is plastered on the side of the truck, ranging from grilled tofu to teriyaki chicken to the full surf and turf of lobster and filet mignon. Your eyes don't deceive you - the prices aren't included for a reason. The chicken teriyaki is the most moderately priced item, coming in at just under $21. Buyers should be prepared to pay close to $45-$50 for the premium options. The good news is that the portions are large and very delicious. Tons of rice and vegetables, cooked perfectly with the right amount of sauce. The chicken teriyaki was delicious and worth it if you are starving. The surf and turf was also quite delicious, but justifying the price for a food truck option might be difficult for most. However, these guys deliver on the quality and quantity the last few times I have stoped by. Service is generally quick for this made-to-order truck team. You can call ahead to place your order for pickup on a busy night or weekend. Overall, the food is of high quality and the portions are large. If you have ever tried a sit down teppanyaki restaurant, you'll probably pay more for the same amount. Check them out next time you are in the mood for quick, tasty teppanyaki on the go. You can't go wrong for what they deliver. read more

Terrible customer service!! Called on the phone to place an order for pickup and was told 20 minutes. Arrived at the window exactly 20 minutes later and was told it would be out in one minute, it took over 20, totaling over 45 minutes. No apology just dumbfounded looks from the workers and claims that they never said "20 minutes". Been coming here for years but this will certainly be my last time!!! read more

405 is my favorite of the Teppanyaki spots to eat! Every single thing about the plate you get is to die for! From the delicious fried rice, tasty choices of proteins and grilled veggies!!!! I can never have enough of this place, I wish I could eat it daily. My personal favorite order is all friend rice with chicken and New York steak (medium rare) They are generous about their sauces as we love the garlic butter!!! read more

Not sure what happened, but this place used to be a lot better. Today, not so good. The fried rice and veggies were good, but the almost paper-thin slice of salmon tasted old and not fresh. I won't be ordering from here again. read more

405 Teppanyaki - Salmon with fried rice and veggies. - Japanese Near Me - Van Nuys, California

So my daughter and I have been here several times the last two times everything was great. This visit I ordered the shrimp and chicken plate no vegetable add yakisoba. My daughter she got the scalloped plate. Well upon starting to eat after we left and pulled over, both of us found hair in our fried rice. Grossed both of us out so we just found the nearest trash can and through both plates away. $76 for 2 plates with black hair in both plates is definitely not acceptable. I'm debating on contacting the owner or calling the health department. read more

Place sucks , prices are not visible can't find them anywhere wait time is always 30 minutes plus

If I can give 0 stars I would, LAST time I order from here. I stopped by around 11:30 they had a few customers waiting & as I was also waiting I noticed a customer complained about a missing plate the staffed looked very confused & were saying to one another "I'm working on this" I realized there was another man waiting for his order & his order # was way ahead of what was being served & the server herself looked confused on why his order wasn't out yet when he asked. When I got home & was ready to feed my kids I realized the plate I was given was NOT what I paid for. $40 for a wrong meal? I get it, it's late night but customer service is key TO ANY BUSINESS. I called multiple times & then I realized they were declining my call due to the fact that they were already closed. THANKFULLY I live near by so I was able to catch them & when I got there they were confused but knew what was wrong because they had "an extra plate" left over. & ofc they would offer but why offer something the customer NEVER asked for? & one of the staff members had the audacity to say "that was you" sarcastically laughing when I mentioned I kept calling & no one answered!!! & look about the portion of chicken & rice given for $40 INSANE! read more

Ok, wow! This was an excellent meal! Our family all got different things to try - All of them were yummy! we will definitely go back. I recommend finding this food truck if you're in the area. It's pricey, but absolutely worth it! read more

Their service is extremely bad. They always give incomplete orders -- honestly, it's a really shit place.

Decided to give this place a try. First and last time. I ordered a shrimp plate. They gave me 6oz of shrimp and 2 pounds of rice. Not worth $28. I essentially played $28 for 2 pounds of rice. Lol read more

I can't believe all of the bad reviews.. I live right down the street & always order over the phone it's ready in about 15 mins at the most. For everyone complaining about the wait, pick your phone up and call ahead? Food here is bomb. It's always still hot when you take it to go. Veggies are my favorite along with the rice. This is one of the best food trucks I've ever been to hands down. Pricy sure but this isn't something I eat everyday so I don't mind. Good spot (: read more

I got a teriyaki chicken plate the chicken was to chewy where i had to eat around it and I could you not i saw cockroaches around the cashier ! Its sad that i have to leave this review because two of the employees seem to be working really hard and were really sweet so thank you to the cashier and the runner I came on a Sunday! i hope this review reaches the owner and costumers read more

I looked on line for a menu with prices. Couldn't find. I went to their website. No prices. Went to the truck and asked for a menu he pointed to the side of the truck. I asked. Do you have anything with prices? He said no but I could ask him. I said how about this rice dish with shrimp, chicken and steak? A woman appeared and said $40! I was like "it's big huh? She shows me a regular size take out. I asked what about the noodle Yakisoba dish picture at the other side. It seemed they had a meeting... she said $7.99 just for noodles and showed me a small bowl. I asked how much with chicken? What? Chicken? They had another meeting. They seemed very annoyed. I was asking about their products. I didn't see a line of people there. As a matter of fact. There was no one. She said $19.99. I was like $11.00 worth of chicken in that little bowl... I left. That's why they hide prices folks. It a truck! Not paying for brick and mortar. Won't be back. read more

If you're in a hurry or the restaurants are closed then this place is a great option. The prices are steep and equivalent to restaurant sit down teppanyaki so for the comfort I prefer sit down but for convenience this place is just that! I asked for the price of filet and shrimp with plain rice and that dish would be over $32. BUT the ribs (kalbi style) were good and priced at $13. They did not have a sign posted with prices. That would be convenient for the customers and might have some people deciding whether to grab their meal here or somewhere else. I would go back for the ribs but everything else is just "madness" IMO. Good food. People seem nice but not "out of their way" helpful. Ambiance is food truck.. no place to sit. Take it home and hope it tastes as good as when you get to eat on the spot. I guess if you eat in your car.. No good food pics this time. read more

We order from 405 Teppanyaki all the time, but this time we had a horrible experience and will never order from them again. Here is what happen!! We ordered 10 plates and payed almost $ 400, five of the plates had lobster in them, the lobster was horribly salty old and looked like throw up. I called to let them know, the supervisor was very rude, he did not even want to here me out,did not even sound like he cared that a customer is upset that they gave her old seafood, which can be very harmful for a person. Beware their seafood is old and harmful !!! read more

I know it's a bit pricey, but it's never a miss!! The portion sizes are pretty big and the food is so flavorful! They also provide sauces on the side that add to its incredible flavor. Typically I call my order in on the way over and it's ready when I arrive (15 min). read more

I've driven by these trucks an infinite amount of times over the years and occasionally thought of trying it out. Never did until last night when I was hungry driving by and the scent caught my nose! I was a little hesitant due to the reviews but wasn't phased much by them. I ordered a steak and shrimp combo with fried rice and a teriyaki chicken combo and paid $42. It felt weird paying over $40 for a truck meal but I acknowledge that it's not your average Asian food and requires some work. I ordered and my food was ready in about 20 minutes. I asked for 1 of each sauce they have and was on my way home. From the first bite to the very last, it was utterly amazing and I enjoyed all of it. My steak was a little over cooked (I wanted medium) but no harm done. Parking is shared with the plaza behind it so it wasn't bad either. All in all, I enjoyed the food a lot and will definitely be returning some day! Combo Plates read more

405 Teppanyaki - 2 trucks in one spot! You know they're hustling! - Japanese Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Coming from out of town my fiance and I wanted to see what all the hype was! Arrived around 10pm on a weekday and was surprised to see so many people out. The workers are very nice we had a few questions about the menu items and they were kind enough to explain it to us. They have 2 trucks. The plates they served was pictured and displayed on their truck the prices were on the photo but some wore off. They served drinks canned soda, red bull and water bottles for $1. We ordered a side of fried rice and a filet mignon (medium well) plate the total was about $25. We wait about 35 to 40 minutes for the food. Didn't really mind the wait because we understand it does take time but when we go our food we were kind of disappointed. There was nothing special and definitely had better else where. The fried rice was pretty plain probably won't even call it fried rice (no mixed veggies and very minimal eggs if any). The filet mignon was very chewy the veggies were okay. They had many sauces, garlic butter seems to be the most popular (sold out didn't get to try). There were so many regulars and they were smart to call ahead to just pick up their order. Overall we felt it was mediocre. read more

Mediocre flavor, Sad Shrimp Portions, & extremely high prices. I feel cheated out of the money I paid. I really wish I read the reviews before ordering. I get inflation and all that, but the shrimp plate was so darn disappointing for what its price point was. The fact that they don't have their pricing posted anywhere online or even on the truck itself seems kind of sketch too. WHEN I went up to pay for the shrimp plate I was told it was $21.99+tax - I thought to myself, okay it's seafood, inflation, etc but the picture looks good - maybe it'll be decent portions - my logic failed me. Oh let's not forget I tipped 15% so my total came out to $25 something. I couldn't believe the small shrimp portion given with the order and the massive amount of fried rice and whatever vegetables they put on the plate. Giving more of the rice and veggies didn't really make the food any better either. The fried rice was just a bit too salty and peppery. The veggies were ok. However, the overall flavor of all the food just wasn't astounding or unique to set it apart from other food trucks or restaurants. Very low-mid tier flavor. You could literally spend the same amount of money and get way better tasting food with decent portions elsewhere. I'll never be coming back here. I just thought I'd get something since I finished work in the area & I regret my decision. I hope ya'll don't suffer the same fate as me. read more

Their food is bomb.com and gets very busy at night I'm guessing. I went yesterday and tried it based on insta reviews and just looked bomb, smelled so good. I tried it and my friend and I had the trio plate. I had lobster, chicken and shrimp w rice, they had forgot my veges but it was so good I kinda didn't care HAHAH. Just order very specifically. My friend got NY steak, rice and veges and she said it was amazing. My food is very flavorful and the sauces were indescribable. It's very pricey but again yes the portions are huge and it takes a lot of effort to cook clean and buy these things. It makes sense so don't complain abt price if you want cheap pls take yourself to Wendy's across the way. They se etc w quality restaurant food, so don't come broke simple. I'm back second time today and super excited. I will have to wait for another time after this because of diet but mannnn. This is finger licking good (; read more

Always love this place been coming here for years a little bit pricey so can't come to much.

Meat is tender and well cooked, the chicken has nice flavor. Everything I have tried is well seasoned and tasty. The ginger sauce is really good. Prices are a little on the high end but IMO is worth it. My married Best friends Eduardo and Abraham liked it very much and they felt welcome. And since they are desert fanatic they were a little sad that they didn't have Flan. But why would they have flan in a Japanese kitchen? Smh.... overall solid 8.5 out of 10. The people there are very friendly as well. read more

405 Teppanyaki - Filet mignon and chicken with fried rice - Japanese Near Me - Van Nuys, California

One to come back to! We got to the truck early on and so glad we did knowing this truck gets pretty packed. We ordered two plates of the steak and chicken with fried rice and veggies! We opted for Filet mignon but they have the option of other cuts such as rib-eye and short ribs. Their menus showed that you have the option of all sorts of protein, lobster, shrimp, chicken, steak. The person who took our order was very kind and outgoing and made sure we received every sauce to enjoy the full experience. The portions of the plates are enough for 2 people if I'm honest. But since we like to have left overs, we made sure to get two plates. I would say that the pricing is a little high for food from a truck, about 36 per plate. From looking at old menus, I think their prices went up just like everything else in LA, so not surprised! Overall, this is a great place to get something that's going to fulfill your tastes buds as well as fill you up the right way! read more

They don't show the prices for good reason. It's insanely expensive. Never again. Would have cost $40 for a steak and chicken combination and you're not getting that much food! If I wanted mushrooms that would have been an extra $2 as well. I opted for the chicken teriyaki instead. With fried rice the total was $20. read more

Food is hell-a expensive. The food is just okay. I should have save 1/3 dollars the price and went to In-and-Out!!!! I ordered 1x shrimp with rice and the other 1x steak with rice and "just" asked to put half and half each plate. She said "no" !!! Wtf. I'm NOT asking for more food? F@CK this PERRO food next time!! Never coming back!!!! read more

There is no better place to eat when you're hungry and not only that the sushi truck behind them is out of this world it's pricey, but the food is phenomenal. The guys are great. The girls are terrific. The service is 100% phenomenal. The ambience is outside, but why not stand outside while you're getting food takes 30 minutes 35 minutes. I'd always say order ahead of time. Call him, and I'll have your shit ready read more

Giving this place 3 stars for the food but 1 star for the scam they run, and im putting the 1 star first because it was not an accident and there were other people in line with issues. **The Food Vs The Price** So the food is cool BUT NO WHERE CLOSE to the ASTRONOMICAL price. These prices are what you would pay at a high end hibachi restaurant sitting in front of a Hibachi Grill with a live performance. This is an outside Hibachi truck with no cover, seats, tables or even standing tables to eat. You get your food and go. From what I've read from other reviewers, food quality has gone down. I haven't been here since some of these other people to say for sure but I do ageew it's probably true. - What We Ordered: One plate of half steak half chicken and fried rice and vegetables. We asked if they could do half rice half yakisoba noodles. They said "no it will be extra $7" so we said no worries just the rice. Total = $50 NOT INCLUDING TIP. Insane. For one plate of food in a food truck ** The Scam ** We received the order not long after. It has the Yakisoba noodles. They charged us extra even after we clearly said no. They tried to convince us to take it. We said no. So they took the noodles out and preceedee to give us a refund. It came in cash, fine. They said they'd give us $7 however it should be $7 plus the tax we paid but i wasn't going argue over that. They hand me the cash, its $6. Didnt even bother arguing. This was obviously all intetional given they screwed the next guy by shorting him things he ordered and it was clear they were wrong. Trying to cut corners and pocket extra where they can. Now if the single plate of food wasnt $50 + I wouldnt care about a couple bucks but when you're charging an insane price at a food truck with little overhead, don't mess up and dont short me! read more

So, I came here after some social media influence. Yes...I'm a suckah! LOL. What you see on Instagram looks like it is not the same size (it looks bigger), but I have a feeling if you ask you'll just pay the difference. Or maybe they just know how to take a picture with good angles. LOL I ordered the NY steak and shrimp. The same exact thing I ordered at the truck would cost $31.60 at Benihana (except the shrimp is colossal at Benihana). At Oasis (in Van Nuys) what I ordered would cost $27.00, which is what I paid at the truck for my box. I just think maybe the amount of food is not the same as you would get at the restaurants. I mean at Benihana you still get an appetizer and soup. Don't get me wrong, the food is good - steak was so tender and the shrimp was not rubbery at all. The fried rice and veggies was a great compliment to the protein. It wasn't salty (like some reviews said). It tasted great and was just enough for me to share but I could have easily have eaten the whole thing. LOL DEFINITELY a luxury price if you don't want to go to a restaurant and get your food in less than 15 minutes. Ok...so Netflix and chill after? J/K I deserve more than just the food truck. I deserve an experience! LOL I'd like to come back and try other things they have. And also maybe not come so hungry. read more

When this opened years ago, literally everyone I know all came here regardless of the drive - some from Calabasas, some from South Central, some from Koreatown, you get the idea.. Nowadays the only people you see here are the hypebeasts who haven't gotten the message, wearing hyped outfits just to flex while eating, paying $65/8th for some "exotic" rolling 1 gram woods instead of buying a pack.. you know the type. Everyone's reasoning was "it's Benihana on wheels and it's cheaper" for the hella taxed plates. In the beginning, the quality was consistent, the amount of food was good, meats weren't cheap cuts, rice wasn't used as a filler for 80% of the plate. While most of the homies got the plates with everything (steak, chicken, lobster tail) for like $45, I only ever got the steak and chicken plate which was around $25. Although it is technically "Benihana on wheels", it's still just a FOOD TRUCK, no seats, with very low overhead - so spending $25-45 at a TRUCK just always seemed like overkill. *THEY EVEN TOOK DOWN PRICES FROM THEIR MENU.... WONDER WHY... After getting plates here a few times a week for almost a year, everyone I know stopped coming here including me. Quality went down and the taste wasn't the same, and most importantly the HYPE WOW FACTOR had died out. If you have never tried this place, by all means get a plate to try it out. They cook everything on the same type of Benihana flat top grill and their sauce is good. Steak is definitely low grade, shrimp is definitely frozen WalMart farmed type, chicken is good (can't mess up chicken), small lobster tail is like $20.. I do recommend trying it at least once just for the experience. Then go buy some king crab legs, lobster tails, ribeye from Costco and whip up something extra fire for cheaper. read more
