Took a selfie with owner Matt at my last good truck event
Lou C.

I'm in heaven... Food heaven, that is. I got a chance to chat with Matt M, the owner of Muiishi Makirritos at my last food truck event. The name is definitely pronounced well for my crowd. They can't pronounce it but they recognized the truck and ran toward it. When my guests were happy to see them again, I knew this truck is a must-have at my food truck events. The price is reasonable considering the creative ingredients for indiscriminate taste in Asian fusion dishes. They work highly efficient in a confined food truck space and turn out many orders at the same time. Some items require more time. That's why entertainment at a food truck event is beneficial. I want more Swaggy Dogs next time I see them. Those dogs looked good and tasted even better. Bibimbap smelled so good. It was a shared dish. Everyone was praising on this delicious dish. Matt and Melonie are easy to work with. They always arrive on time and ready for the customers. I can't wait to see them at Filipino Street Festival in October. **76th review of 2017**

I'm starting to get tired of all of these "Korean Fusion" food trucks, I was happy to see that this one was a Japanese Fusion food truck instead. The name is kind of hard to pronounce but I found myself trying to pronounce it over and over and started enjoying it. By the end of the night after a few drinks I was saying all different probably incorrect variants but it made me remember it. The character that accompanies their brand is adorable. As far as their food, I tried the Chicken karaage for $8, which is like a tempura chicken covered in sauce, it was my favorite dish of the night. We also had the Mac and cheese egg rolls which was 2 for $4, it sounded better than it was, but it was probably some of the cheaper priced mac and cheese fried whatever, from a food truck, so it wasn't just to try it. My friend's favorite dish was the shrimp and grits for $8. The dish comes with an egg along and topped with pork belly. Everything came together so perfectly. I got to meet the man by the truck Matt, and he has a sushi background which explains the food truck. I can't wait to try more items the next time this truck is out.

The truck
Belly G.

This is one of my friends' favorite food trucks. She loves this food truck so much that she would actually have the food truck camped out of her house whenever she was having a house party - true story! That was actually the first time I tried Muiishi Makirritos. So far I've tried the following: Swaggy Dog - these are some big rolls. And definitely delicious. Chicken Karaage Burrito - Also huge and delicious Hot Mess Fries - Nom nom nom Tempura Fried Oreos - SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! I've pretty much loved everything that I've tried here so far. When they say that "Everything is Muy Bueno", I really don't think that they're lying. Only downside: it's a food truck so the wait could take a while.

bacon jammin biscuits w/ fried chicken
Victoria M.

FINALLY got to try this food while the truck was at Wooster's. It took me way too long. Everything was so delicious! Rich, yet not heavy. Pork Bunz - kakuni pork belly, pickled cucumber, scallions Crabby patty - fried soft shell crab, kani kama, avocado, spicy aioli (think of a spider roll on steroids!) Jammin Bacon biscuits w/ fried chicken - my god if I could get giant versions of these biscuits and eat them all day!!! Damn, I think I just made myself hungry again...

Bibimbap
Britney G.

I typically love food trucks, especially those that are strategically and conveniently placed outside of a bar or brewery with a guaranteed captive audience. Which is why I was so happy when I saw this truck parked outside of 11 Below Brewery on the northside of town. However, I left feeling meh as I ate what was a very bland Bibimbap Rice Bowl. The bulgogi had little flavor and the kimchi just plain out overwhelmed all the other flavors that might have been in the dish. On the other hand, the hubby ordered the Kakuni (pork belly) Burrito. That thing was delicious and huge, tons of food for the price. If everything we ordered was good, I would have given this truck 4 stars, but they let me down on the bulgogi bowl.... Follow me on my way to Foodietown! http://britneygfoodie.yelp.com

This food truck was one off the vendors that showed up at my church's flic nic on the lawn event. My friends and I were thrilled because it was one of the food trucks that we have yet to catch. I never waited 1.5 hrs on line for a food truck but it was worth it! Swaggy dog sushi - shrimp tempura with a side of creamy siracha sauce 5/5 Kakuni roll - pork belly with a side green fresco chile sauce. 5/5 stars Karage chicken - mouth watering crispy breaded chicken drizzled with a creamy siracha and topped with crispy corn. The corn is AMAZING! 5/5 Macaroni egg roll - it comes in a set with the chile fresco sauce. It sounds strange to have macaroni and cheese in an egg roll, but it was surprisingly delicious. It's worth the try even if you are ud usually not adventurous. 4/5 Karage burrito - breaded fried chicken in a rice burrito. Those were huge burritos. Good blend of flavors. This one was good but not my favorite. It was a little dry, perhaps a little creamy siracha would help. 4/5 Despite the crazy long lines, the staff were really nice and did not show a hint of frustration. Love their attitudes. I hope to catch them again!

Mac and cheese egg rolls
Karen L.

I've been wanting to try this food truck for so long! I saw it outside of HEB during the Friday Food Truck Festival but there was a long line and it was cold outside so I decided to try it another day. I wanted to come here for dinner on a weekday so I checked where they were on Facebook and found that they were outside Boneyard Drinkery. I shared with my sister and we ordered the Mac and Cheese Eggrolls, Bipimbap, and Chicken Karrage which came out to be $21. It was cold outside so we waited inside Boneyard Drinkery for our food. The staff at Boneyard Drinkery was super friendly and didn't pressure us to buy any drinks while we were there. If I ever get a dog, I'm totally taking it here! The Mac and Cheese Eggrolls were my favorite and came with a yummy dipping sauce that looked like ranch.The Chicken Karrage was my second favorite and came with a delicious fried corn. The chicken reminded me of Chick-fil-a chicken nuggets with siracha. The Bipimbap was like a sushi burrito with bulgogi. The dipping sauce for this had wasabi I think which made it a little too spicy for me. I don't think I'll order the Bipimbap again but I definitely want to try their other Makirritos!

Mui bueno, indeed!
Vicky L.

Yum! I love being able to look at photos on Yelp and those taped on the food truck body for reference. I decided to give the Krabby Patty a try ($14). I was lucky that the line wasn't long in the early evening and the time it took before I could get my hands on the makirrito was just between five to ten minutes. The Krabby Patty came out sliced in half, making it easy to split and eat, and the deep fried crab claws stuck out at each end of the roll. The dried seaweed wrapped around the rolls were nice and crisp thankfully not succumbed to a soggy and chewy fate. It was still pretty hot when I took my first bite but it was so fresh and tasty! You never get the same taste at the restaurant with similar spider rolls that house the same soft shell crab parts. The Krabby Patty was definitely a glorified version of it packed with much more pizazz (avocado, kani, etc). The price is okay for the amount you're getting as it includes tax, unlike other food trucks I've patronized. Similar special rolls at Japanese restaurants would charge the same but even more skimpy. I have my eye on a few other items Muiishi has to offer. Hopefully it will be truckin' in my vicinity again!

Swaggy dog
Annie N.

LOVE their swaggy dog. It's the only roll of it's kind in Houston and I always crave it. Too bad Muishii is pretty inconsistent with their locations and opening times. It's gotten a little better lately though. Now back to the roll, the fried corn adds such a nice texture and the shrimp tempura is extra crispy. The spicy aioli sauce is also amazing. It's so good I'll actually try and hunt their truck down!

How not to be open to feedback: bash your customers.
Bryan K.

Update: Shortly after I provided a review the owner reached out to me to bash me. Her utter lack of professionalism is appalling. And her method of dealing with feedback is immature. Changing to 1 star. ------------------------- Ok, I'll make this short and sweet. I ate here at the Pop Shop event at Silver Street Studios. Ordered the pork belly burrito. The burrito was ok. The pork was tender, but nothing to really rave about. The main item I want to highlight, and to give feedback to the owners is the time between ordering and service really needs to be improved. I waited 20 minutes for a pork burrito. Pork that has already been cooked sou vi for 24 hours. But the long wait time didn't bother me until people who ordered after me were receiving their orders first. Rice bowls, loaded fries, etc that were ordered after me where coming out before my burrito. I had to follow up with them twice before my single burrito came out. Very disappointing.

Food I threw away

Got some food from their food truck at anime matsuri I ordered chicken karaage with side rice and kimchi! They served it to me cold as shit I tried to eat it but it was disgusting. All the other food trucks served if not fresh at least hot food. I actually never do reviews but that's how mad I was 18 dollars down the drain. The best part is how the owner berates your reviews. I worked for a security company after my 5 years of service to the military just for him to basically call me a loser in Messages. Great practice!! Posted more pictures of how they speak to customers.

Pork belly Don Juan (half eaten fries in the background)
Jessica C.

After coming back a handful of times, this is one of my favorite food trucks in Houston. To be honest, Houston had a lot of shitty trucks. It's hard to find one that makes me want to go back. I actually follow Muiishi on Facebook and check to see where they are. If they're nearby, I will usually make it a point to go. The only annoying thing is that they tend to flake. So don't rely on their schedule completely or you will be sorely disappointed. I love love love the rice bowls (Don Juan - pork belly), hot mess fries, and crabby patty roll. Food is restaurant quality and pretty darn tasty.

Creamy Smoked Salmon Tempura Roll (sorry about the slight blur)
Abigail P.

Yay for Food Truck Friday. I was iffy/ excited about this sushi food truck. I mean, how good could sushi be coming from a truck..? Apparently soupa gewd. Creamy Smoked Salmon Tempura Roll: (my friend ordered but I tried a piece) When I saw this, I couldn't believe it was one order. I think I asked about 3 times if what they got was one order. There was about 10 pieces. I hope this is their usual and not just something special they did for Food Truck Friday. Flash fried is an accurate description, aka not soaked in deeply fried batter. Yay. Good proportion of rice to stuffings within. Kakuni: Sushi roll cut into 2 pieces, maybe to get that burrito fusion-ness. jk [apparently so] Oh the pork belly! Very flavorful. Just don't think about the amount of fat that's in there because it's so good. Seriously, just don't. Just eat and love your life after. I'm a fan of having my sushi cut into pieces because I feel like a monster eating the thing but whatever. No shame. [ok i just got their name.... -____-] OIC. Clever. I'd definitely come back here. :)

Chicken Karaage with Tempura Corn... My FAV! There's so much texture and flavor that  I would have to get this EVERY TIME!!!

Is this located in east downtown(77003)? is there seating available outside? sorry i don't go to food trucks very often.

Muiishi Makirritos usually parks by some market, coffee house or brewery. Muiishi Makkirritos website has up to date info. Recently they are regularly open at Amsterdam Coffee at 807 W 19th street.

They let us in early so we didn't have to stand out in the cold. The restaurant is small and quiet, with the sushi bar in the middle, where it's easy to see everything is made. We opted for the sashimi special, the takoyaki, the 4 season roll, and the gyu suji. The sashimi special was delicious, great cuts, nice and tender. The 4 season roll was also great, with good cuts of fish, not too fishy. The takoyaki was perfectly crispy with a good filling and just the right amount of octopus. We accidentally let the gyu suji sit out too long so it got cold and gelatinous, but they were super nice about reheating it for us. It ended up not being for me, beef tendon is just a bit too cartilaginous for me. Overall, a great experience! Will definitely need to be back!

Thankfully, a table opened up right as we finished ordering so we grabbed it. Shortly after a server stopped by with our rolls! We helped ourselves to the bowls for soy sauce and chopsticks at the back of the restaurant. We were blown away at the generous fish portions here.

Large tables for families and community seating during peak times. So , be open to possibly sharing. Place your order at the window and pay. Cash and credit card accepted. Unlimited miso soup, corn soup, and red bean soup available. Love that! Grab your chopsticks and utensils. Napkins cubby located on the wall of the silverware station. The cubby Can be overlooked and has a sign requesting to please take what you need and not waste. I notice the popular for the older population first thing in the morning and a hit for the younger gen in the evening. We love the broiled squid, agedashi tofu, and gyoza. We love raw sushi our usual order is the salmon, tuna, and scallop sushi. Cuts are thick and generous. Basic roll of classic salmon and tuna. My kids love the shrimp tempura roll and hand roll. Iwa is straight to the point and simple which we love. Not into all the fancy and large menus. Expect classic options. Good cuts. We come here when we want to be quick. Highly recommend for a classic joint on Bellaire for sushi.

The service was pretty good, when we went there was only one waitress but she did a good job bouncing between us and the other patrons. We were served a miso soup as an appetizer and it had a nice flavor but I wish there was a little bit more tofu and seaweed in it. The agedashi tofu was standard, I wish that they had brought the tofu on a separate dish from the broth as it was soggy by the time it reached our table. The tempura udon noodles had good texture and the broth was good although slightly sweet. My main gripe with this dish is the lack of tempura served with it. You get three pieces of shrimp and one vegetable but in our case it was two pieces of shrimp and a nori piece. :( The pork katsu curry was good but not quite what I expected. I really appreciate that the curry had beef and some veggies in it and a nice hearty flavor, but it felt more like a sauce and not a curry. The pork was a little dry and I wish I had more pickled veggies but over all not a bad dish. I would definitely come back here again but keep in mind the parking lot is SMALL so you may need to park elsewhere and walk over.

Included choice of gyokai zensai per person. Faves ranked (from basic set): salmon ceviche (best one), yuzu yellow tail w/ Asian pear, hokkaido scallop marry w/ fuji apple, & black garlic pepper tuna (least fave). From silver set, wagyu bone marrow was my fave. Wagyu tartare & wagyu nigiri were ok. Another one time selection was Japanese A5 wagyu - ribeye was DELICIOUS!

The service used to be exceptional, but this time around, the workers (aside from our server, who was very friendly) were a bit standoffish and cold. I also did not receive my included sashimi dish until the very end of my meal, and I only received my water an hour after being there. The water also tasted very strange, almost fermented? (my friends' glasses were normal, so not sure what happened to mine). The bowls and cups were also not as clean as they used to be. Mikiya used to feel like an upscale dining experience, but I fear whatever changes they've been making in corporate or staffing decisions are having a negative impact. I really hope the service improves, it would be a shame to see Mikiya continue down this path!
