    Dined with the Rolling Sushi Van at Radiant. Our party of 7 all ordered one or two menu items; Baked Salmon Roll, Baked Lobster Roll, Spicy Tuna Hand Roll, Hot night Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll. Everything was reasonably priced, taste was as expected, service was fantastic: quick and friendly, the truck was clean, table provided utensils and such. Definitely strange pairing with beer but satisfied hunger. If you're looking for quick sushi to satisfy your craving, this is definitely your truck.

    Grossness for $12

    Disgusting. Watery. Gas station grade. In fact, I think you will find better sushi at the gas station. And grossly, hideously overpriced. Look at the Spicy Tuna Roll - $12 for this crap. The shrimp tempura roll wasn't any better. some stale fish, overcooked rice and barely any tempura. I would not feed this garbage to my cat. The owners of this place should absolutely be ashamed of themselves for charging people this kind of money for this dumpster level food. I gagged biting into this, especially as the liquid rolled down my lips, and could not finish. Don't waste your money on this place.

    Got the baked lobster roll and tuna handroll. They bake the entire roll so beware that the California roll that's it's base, is also baked. It would be better to just bake the lobster only. Price was a bit high for the size. Overall it was decent but I would probably doordash from a brick and mortar.

    Rainbow roll burrito.

    I'll be honest, it was the cheapest option on the food truck lot at the anime convention I was at that wasn't fisted by a long line or just standard western fast food. AKA the line was the shortest for it. We got the: Rainbow Roll Burrito ($15): -It came out almost instantaneously. I'm not sure if this was good or bad. -Some of the rice was a bit mushy and the distribution of the sushi vinegar in the rice wasn't even. This made some parts of the burrito really sour and very unappealing to eat. We split it amongst 2 people as a snack and it was just okay. If Jogasaki Burrito was on the same lot, I'd opt for them instead.

    Salmon and Rainbow Rolls...yum!

    The Rolling Sushi Van came to our elementary school as a food truck vendor for our very first Multicultural Fair. Chris, the owner, was friendly, professional and offered amazing sushi to our students and families! He was on time, very friendly and engaging...and served fresh, delicious sushi throughout the event. He even offered to donate 10% of the proceeds to our school's PTO for having him! How cool is that?!! I would absolutely recommend Chris and his Rolling Sushi Van for any event you'd want friendly service, fantastic sushi, and an overall fun experience! Thank you, Chris!! ~On behalf of Lake Hills Elementary PTO

    Quality, fresh sushi from a food truck? Ohh wow, ohh yess! Los Alamitos Din-A-Go-Go. Rolling Sushi doesn't get as much recognition as the other trucks, but I must say, they have some pretty quality sushi. The prices are pretty average but can get a bit expensive if you go with the extensive cut rolls. The guys in the truck are true Japanese fellas that are always smiling and are happy to serve you. Legit sushi from a truck. That's all I have to say. Give them some love since the other SLIDERS and TACO TRUCKS dominate the scene.

    This little lobster tasty came out of the van you see. Worthy !

    We enjoy hitting up all the better Sushi spots on the coast here in North county SD. So, that being said, Rolling Sushi is good at our standards. To be fair we only had one thing. The Lobster roll. 6 pieces of crab rolls laid on their side and lobster over the top. Considered one of the " popular" things on their menu. It didn't disappoint. It did cost $15 but still, very Decent ! We rode out fat tire bikes all over San Clemente's brewery district and Food trucks but Rolling Sushi was the best.

    Ummm if there's no one at a food truck half way during lunch, there's probably a good reason! If you order and it's ready less than 30 seconds later, probably not freshly made. This is disgusting.

    To help my gal friend out for her essay-writing about food truck culture (Yep. Her recreational studies professor seriously assigned his students to follow FTs.) I gave her a brief tour of her 1st ever rendezvous to a food truck round-up at the Los Al Picnic at the Plaza. Despite this trip what really caught her eye most was this blanched storage van w/ red accents, i.e. Rolling Sushi Van :P. Although I did conform to this "Uhh, I Don't Know About the Sushi Quality from a Van" ideology, & because she was in the mood for COOKED sushi (despite my 'lil persuasion for her to eat it raw), we gave it a try anyway for the Baked Lobster Roll ($10) & Jeena E's recommendation, the Rolling Ball (2 for $3). But like the majority of the Yelpers I was darn gullible & wrong about the sushi. We first obtained these rounded yummies of creamy shredded crab & outstanding use & flavor of tuna, joyfully mixed & rolled up, garnished with delicately yet generous, sesame oil-injected tempura flakes. Unfortunately I found out way too late that it was more penny-worthy if I knew the paper under the Rolling Balls was creatively & amusingly edible (yes, we actually used chopsticks) =/. Additionally, & finally, although I have stronger proclivity towards the raw side over cooked/baked/flambed, I was also unexpectedly wowed at the unbeatable quality, meatiness & flavor of the chunky morsels of lobster (drizzled by eel sauce & "spicy" mayo) atop of 8 bounteous Californian pieces. Unless you're sympathetically allergic to shellfish, I highly recommend the Baked Lobster Roll to those who have that strange fish-rice phobia to take this sushi adventure one baby step at a time =). Yea, we felt good giving away our $13 on incredibly delicious sushi--and free orange cuts--from a van! Heck yea I'm a fan of RSV, and if this blissfully returns to my Los Al turf, I'm gonna bug my friend again to give the Rainbow Roll or Ahi Tuna Cali Roll a GO, & perhaps also bug her to write her experience, say, on Yelp :P.

    When I saw this cute little van in the distance practically hidden behind the 5 other full sized trucks I knew what was awaiting me. "Ted! It's the sushi van!! Bill C. loved it!" I love sushi, and I love trucks (vans count too). Since I have recently had plenty of good sushi off of trucks, AND Bill C. really did love this truck, I was very excited to try this cute little sushi van. I was the only person in line for the van. I checked the menu quickly but as soon as I saw the Lobster Roll ($10) I knew that was what I was getting. I love lobster rolls. They are probably my favorite roll. I paid and the nice man in the truck told me it would be a bit of a wait because they make them fresh. That's fine with me. I'm used to my lobster rolls taking a little bit longer (because of all the baking that happens). The wait was about 8 minutes, which was plenty of time to check out the menus on the other trucks. Ted picked up my sushi on the little tray and I immediately started eating. It was a huge roll, even for $10 it was huge. I think there were more than 8 pieces of CA roll underneath the lobster. It was very yummy. I loved the sweet sauce on top. I should have gone back and asked them to add spicy mayo and smelt egg. That's my favorite way to have lobster roll goodness in my mouth. But even without those additions this was still a very delicious roll. And I appreciated that I didn't see any lone scallops pretending to be lobster to fill up the space. Three cheers for sushi on the go! Fresh sushi, Fast sushi, F-ing Good Sushi!

    Wow----- You can get great sushi from a truck, and not even a grown-up truck, just a wee little van. But it isn't just about size, it's about intensity; and I had an intensely awesome Lobster Roll today. When I ordered, they told me 10 minutes, which makes sense as they are baked to order. And when it wasn't ready after about 10, they offered me and another customer bowls of miso soup to make the delay less painful. The soup was awesome, very flavorful with just a little green onion, and the Baked Lobster Roll kicked butt and took names. The cut was thick, the lobster was plentiful and it was heated perfectly. This is exactly how I would make it for myself if I knew what the heck I was doing. As an aside, I think this was the 1st Mercedes of the 76 trucks (so far) I have reviewed. don't worry, they aren't douchebags though, and they only took up one parking space. I love this truck "Gourmet Food Truck #76 on my never-ending quest to try every truck in So Cal" .

Some of the fish is genuinely high-quality and worth the tag, but the cost across the board is what keeps it from being a perfect 5/5 for me. Pro Tip: They do validate parking, which is a huge plus! Beef Tantan Nabe -- 5/5 This was my favorite thing here! It's creamy, delicious, and I've never actually had this dish at any other Japanese restaurant. A must-order. Miyabi Tai Carpaccio -- 5/5 So yummy. It has a great combination of flavors and the fish was buttery, it literally melted in my mouth. Toro Roll -- 5/5 Super tasty. They put real gold on it, which felt so extra, but it was actually a great-tasting roll. Blue Crab Hot Pot -- 4/5 This was really good, and I especially loved the char on the rice. Maguro Kajime -- 3.5/5 This was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it felt a little expensive for what it was--taste-wise, it was just whatever.

Spent a good amount of time browsing Yelp and OpenTable to find a new spot to end the night. Came across TEN on yelp and I'm glad I found this spot. I made a reservation and was a little late due to a previous plan that ended a little later than expected. They sat us right away regardless and the owner greeted us. I asked Brian what his choice of drink is and the crazy thing is I scanned the menu and this drink caught my eye, which he then recommended as his go to, the Yuz it or Lose it. My girlfriend had the Lychee Rose. Started with the Chicken Gyoza and Japanese Nachos for appetizers and ordered the BG roll and Keoni roll. Throughout the night Brian would stop by and made conversation with us a couple times, super attentive and super friendly! At the end of the night Brian brought out a surprise Melted Chocolate Cake with Ice cream and chocolate drizzle & whipped cream on the side, along with what tasted like two shots that tasted like melon? I'm not sure but they were a 5/5! There is a good amount of seating inside and outside. The mix they had playing through the restaurant was absolute fire and it isn't too loud either, you can still hold a conversation without having to raise your voice. They have a parking structure and you'll receive a parking ticket which TEN validates. Yuz it or Lose it: 5/5 A very refreshing and balanced drink. Lychee Rose: 5/5 On the sweeter side but still balanced and the lychee garnish is a nice touch to end the drink Japanese Nachos: 5/5 I literally had to fight the urge to not share these with my girlfriend they're a party in your mouth. (We subbed the spicy tuna for regular tuna) Chicken Gyoza: 5/5 I'm normally a pork gyoza type of person but these were great, nice and juicy and whatever sauce they have at the bottom of the dish was bomb. I literally poured that sauce into my dipping cup instead of the soy sauce that is available BG Roll: 5/5 This roll is tasty and very fresh since there are no cooked items in/on it and the jalapeños on top are a nice touch as well, especially with a little of that sauce from the Chicken Gyoza dish Keoni Roll: 5/5 The eel sauce is a nice touch to this roll along with the jalapeño sauce that they spread on the plate. Shoutout to Brian again! You've earned repeat customers! We will be back

We could not tell the difference between regular salmon and the salmon belly nigri they brought us. It looked and tasted exactly the same. Definitely not fatty salmon belly. 3. The yellow tail belly was chewy. 4. All the fish in their nigri sushi were thinly cut with very little rice. Definitely all you can eat amount of fish. 5.

You won't find your typical rainbow rolls at this restaurant (I do love a good rainbow roll though). The rolls we ordered were the Snowflake (which was flavored with yuzu), the Lobster roll (which was so much more than a typical baked lobster/langostino roll), and the Are You Kidding Me roll, which was big on truffle flavor and came topped with fried onions. I thoroughly enjoyed the Snowflake roll. It had multiple types of fish inside, and the yuzu flavor added the perfect fresh citrusy touch. It also came dotted with a tiny bit of sriracha (or some other spice) but it was just a hint and it's easy to wipe off if you don't want any spice. The Lobster roll was the star of the show. I give it a 10/10 for presentation, and it was also the best tasting one in my opinion. It was plated with a shelled lobster tail, which looks visually pleasing, but the most impressive part was right before serving, the waitress lit it on fire and handed it to us, as if it were flaming creme brulee or something. The flame actually wasn't on the roll itself, but was on what appeared to be a trail of salt (presumably soaked in some kind of alcohol to make it burn). It definitely was a cool effect and I've never seen anything like it in a sushi restaurant! Lastly, the Are You Kidding Me roll - this was my third favorite out of the three we ordered. It was pretty good but I think the truffle flavor was a bit strong. I'm also personally not a huge fan of fried onions on top of sushi since I think it clashes a bit with the freshness of the fish, and gives me too many bar food vibes. But it certainly was flavorful and my husband and I still finished it. We shared these three sushi rolls between the two of us and it was just the right amount of food to leave feeling full. Besides the food, the restaurant itself was nice although I'm not sure they really needed to have a live DJ there as opposed to having a Spotify Playlist. Didn't bother me but I don't think it really added much to the vibe. I would definitely eat here again!

But the flavors of the dishes eased my fear. It was delicious. I love salmon and uni when it comes to sushi and I would recommend others to try this place! Several people already saw my instagram post and asked the name of the restaurant! I'm very happy that the food turned out phenomenal! Toyko nacho (recommend) : it was messy to eat and had a kick of spice. I didn't mind the mess though. Lots of different flavors. Uni hotate yuzu: scallops topped with uni. Eating it was like butter. Sour flavor profile from the yuzu. A bit overpowering. And the maldon sea salt was interesting. So you get the texture of buttery soft from the scallop and uni and a crunch factor from the salt. 5pc Salmon nigiri: so fatty and buttery! If you love salmon then definitely get this. The presentation was so cute. It lays on a bed of ice. And throughout the dinner the pieces of salmon were chilled. Monster nigiri (recommend) : I don't think anything about this when my honey suggested order this. But once it got to the table and we ate it. Wow! This dish flavors stood out to me. The crispy sweet onions and sauce perfected the meal. Dragon: It was pretty tasty and decent. I know my honey liked it a lot. He prefers not to eat raw fish, so this was to his liking (I recommend to those who don't eat raw fish). Truffle essence (recommend) : The taste of truffle is weirdly addicting. The presentation was eye catching because the candle is keeping the truffle butter warm. The concept of dipping or pouring the truffle butter onto the roll was a fun way of eating. Snowflake roll: A lot of reviews mentioned this was a popular dish. I can see why it was popular. It's literally a bunch of fish in a roll! Haha, fish lover this would be perfect to order. Crunchy roll: It was a decent roll, but a bit dryer than I expected. Orders and ratings: Tokyo nacho 9/10. Uni hotate yuzu 10/10. 5pc Salmon nigiri 10/10. Monster 11/10. Dragon 8/10. Truffle essence 9/10. Snowflake roll 10/10. Crunchy roll 6/10. Thank you!
