The food carts at Oak Tree Station have so many compelling options that it took me about 4 visits to try the hibachi truck. And if I'm perfectly honest, I wasn't confident hibachi in a food truck would be delicious. I was very wrong.
I only chose this cart because I walked by a guy eating a shrimp and rice place and it looked like a healthy-ish option with a generous portion. I figured, what the heck, I will eventually try every cart here- let's give this one a go.
For $16 I received what could easily feed 2 people. You get a large to go container packed with ~3 cups of fried rice, a generous portion of grilled meat (I got the chicken- mostly thigh meat but very tender), and a little side of steamed veggies (broccoli and carrots mostly), and a little mini iceberg salad with that good japanese sesame miso dressing. I think this could easily feed 2 adults.
The star of the show was the fried rice. Hands down. You could tell it was cooked in a way where the juices/oils of the meat had been soaked into the rice so it was incredibly flavorful. I felt like I was getting something relatively nutritious with the meat veggies, but then also so comforting and decadent with the rice.
Other reviews talk about flavorless/tough meat - my experience couldn't have been more different. Lots of flavor, tender thigh meat.
The menu had other items which I will certainly return for - including wagyu sliders that I was so close to ordering.
Definitely recommend! read more
