    Food truck at Waste Management
    Kimi S.

    A little pricey, but the best option at the Bird's Nest Waste Management Open this year. Had the Adobo Fried rice ~$20 with tax and tip. Good flavor, good amount, and the chicharróns were a yummy surprise on top. Didn't take a photo of it, because I was so hungry and finished the whole thing before thinking of snapping a shot

    We went to a festival where Flippin' Rice was parked. We got the Flipping Teriyaki Chicken, Crispy Adobo Fried Rice, and Lumpia. The Lumpia was definitely my favorite dish we ordered. It was perfectly crispy but not burnt. The picture on the menu made it seem like there was a lot more vegetables in teriyaki chicken dish. There were only 3 or 4 green beans however the chicken and the sauce was really good. As for the fried rice I wasn't a big fan of the meat that was in the rice but overall a tasty dish.

    The truck came to Cadence in Mesa on a Thursday night and so damn happy we tried. We ordered in advance for a pre-set pickup time. The bulgogi beef and the flippin teriyaki chicken were both excellent and a good sized portion with the rice. We added a lumpia (pork and shrimp) for $1. The lumpia was crisp and not greasy and excellent flavor. Loved the bulgogi beef flavor - the kimchi was crisp and perfectly spiced and the egg was a good addition. The jalapeños were crisp and fresh also. I held the cilantro. The chicken was also great - lots of meat and perfectly done veggies. Order was ready about 10 minutes before the assigned time so glad we got there early. We understand that sometimes they sell out or you have to select a much later time. Online ordering process was easy and accurate.

    I tried Flippin' Rice for the first time when they stopped by the Mayo Hospital in North Phoenix/Scottsdale. They were the only truck there and there was a line of people but that didn't stop me from getting a meal! I'm glad I stayed cause it was delicious. Being Filipino, I try and go out of my way to support local restaurants and food trucks that offer Filipino food or some kind of fusion. They either bring me back or take me forward! I think FR was more of taking me forward into what Filipino flavors and traditional items can be remixed. Hopefully they come back around so I can try their other dishes!

    I was so excited to try this place out when I heard they were coming by our business complex today. Asian cuisine is my most favorite of all the cuisines and my tummy immediately started to growl as I was perusing their menu online. My co-worker/food truck buddy and I made our way over shortly after they arrived. I ended up ordering the pork katsu yakisoba and it was simply amazing. This was also the fastest food truck in terms of service. Co-worker and I had our orders in just over 5 minutes. I wasn't expecting the bonito flakes sprinkled over the pork katsu as it wasn't included in the menu description. I don't like fishy tasting stuff at all and had I known prior, I would've requested to have it left off. I managed to finish everything nonetheless. The pork katsu was perfectly fried and tender. The yakisoba noodles and veggies were nicely wok-fried but on the greasy side. This lunch definitely satisfied my longing for something fried and left me very full. I know I've been saying this with the other food trucks that have come by but out of all of them, I really hope this one come back!

    Perfect street food from this food truck! I always order here whenever I come across this truck. And I always get the adobo fried rice- because its sooo FLIPPIN good. This is not your average fried rice though....it has a touch of gourmet dining and it's delicious! The adobo fried roce contains pieces of crispy pork belly- which I love! Also I appreciate the kale to add a layer of flavor and texture mixed with the carrot and egg that's added in. The flavors of the green onion and fish sauce work so well together to give it a contrast of salty, tangy, sour, and bitterness. It makes my mouth water. On top is sprinkled with pork rinds to give it an extra crunch. And It usually comes with pea sprouts on top too which I love because it brightens the dish and freshen up from the heaviness of the fat and oil. But this time it it didn't have the sprouts. This time around i was a little underwhelmed. Something about the rice today was lacking. It just didn't taste as fresh so I had to rate it down a star. Otherwise this is usually on point!

    The Katsu Pork Yakisoba is pretty bomb, and they move fast they don't keep you waiting long

    Stopped by this truck while it was at the Phoenix Chinese Week Culture and Cuisine Festival. The teriyaki chicken was amazing! Service was great and it didn't take too long for my food to be prepared. But I wish the prices were a little lower.

    This was the best meal that I've had since I moved back to AZ. It's super flavorful and fresh. Can't wait to try them again!

    We had Yakisoba chicken and teriyaki chicken. Both were good, but the chicken for the yakisoba was way overdone.

    All rice and no meat. The taste was good but it was just rice. The ride was plain and didn't have a lot in it. Overpriced for what you get.

    Food was exceptionally flavorful and seasoned well. We ordered the ramen, tacos, and the Phoenix…read moreroll. We went to here as they were one of the late night spots still open. *This along with a hibiscus drink (large) and a cola! Approximately 50$. * Service was simple, kind, order at the register- type of spot. Ambiance wasn't busy for a Sunday night but the vibes were there, and I can imagine they get busy and can handle a lot with the seating options they have.

    I've been ordering from El Jefe in Tempe for the last 4 to 5 years as we live fairly close. We love…read morethe tacos especially with doing the family meal for street tacos! The meats are so good. We also use to love the sushi side. During Covid, we tried the sushi for the first time. We were hesitant as it's a Mexican joint, right? Not a Japanese specialty shop. So to my surprise, I couldn't believe the sushi especially the Las Vegas roll and their Nigiri cuts were pretty dang good. My disappointment seems to be this last year with the sushi just hasn't been the best or fresh tasting. The Las Vegas roll was always nice and warm but with an awesome cold center and fried to perfection and the sauce just right. Lately it's been the opposite. Super over fried were all you can taste is old burnt oil and it dried out and the sauce just bland and not helping at all. The other thing that bothers us is the lack of wasabi they give! If you're not going to give us full flavor, at least give more wasabi to help mask. I will say they give you plenty of soy sauce packets (just barely any wasabi).
