    food truck
    Laura A.

    Flippin Rice is a food truck that offers a mix of Filipino and Asian foods. We recently tried them at Food Truck Friday West in Glendale. We tried the beef bulgogi. To be honest it wasn't my favorite bulgogi but it was better than some that I have tried. Most of the meat was tender but some was dry and crispy. They did the egg perfect and I thought their kimchi was really delicious. Pretty good and worth trying!

    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!

    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.

Possibly the owner? The Dancin Duck is like a riff on Peking Duck and a sushi roll with some extra fusion -- fitting the restaurant name! Duck, avocado, cucumber and salad greens are rolled in a soft and flaky phyllo-ish wrap, served on hoisin sauce and a little bit of what I think was a spicy mayo. This was a little messy and a LOT delicious. I hope they have more duck items on the menu. Looking forward to trying more here!

I had this place saved for some time as it nearby, and I have to say "thank you" to all my Yelpers as the food and the service matched at the positive feedback. Parking was fairly simple as it's located on the corner of Dobson and Guadalupe, and once inside, the staff was very welcoming and provided the menu. The TVs were some Pet channel full of cuteness (that's the only word that comes to mind for me to describe), while the other had something similar but maybe of bloopers. Either way, it was cool and blended in with the stylishly cool decor. As for lunch, I decided to go with the Bento box that included Beef and Broccoli as the main dish. It came with a side of rice, spring roll, a crab ragoon, and 4 sushi pieces. They did bring out a courtesy salad, which was nice. I went with a fountain drink but they do have Sake, Beer & Wine. Service and speediness of the food were good, and as you can tell by my photo, it was steaming hot when it arrived. Overall, everything was on point, and I think I'll come back and try another Bento box lunch special.

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.

My husband and I visited at a relatively quiet time and were seated near a group that appeared to be regulars. It was clear they had a great relationship with the staff, which is always nice to see at a local business. At the same time, we did notice a pretty significant difference in the level of attention we received. At one point, when our drinks came out, the server was asked where they belonged. He immediately said, "Two go here," referring to the other group. When asked where the third drink went, the response was, "Somewhere over there, I don't know." It was a small interaction, but it captured how much of the evening felt for us. A few items we ordered also came out incorrectly, and at times we felt a little overlooked. Thankfully, the female owner was incredibly kind and attentive toward the end of our visit and really helped turn the experience around. I'm still giving five stars because the food genuinely deserves it, and I completely understand how valuable loyal, repeat customers are to a small business. I'd only encourage the team to remember that new customers may be walking through the door because they specifically want to support local businesses, too -- and a little warmth and engagement can go a long way in turning them into regulars as well. We would absolutely return for the food, and I hope our next visit gives us the chance to experience more of the hospitality that clearly keeps so many people coming back.
