KoJa Kitchen - Food Truck

Their tag line -- Korean-Japanese reinvented. I concur!

I first tried KoJa Kitchen at one of their Saturday shindigs in the Garden City parking lot in San Jose. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had vegan/vegetarian entrees on their menu. Not something I expect of food trucks, let alone food trucks that serve Korean or Japanese food!

I got the Teriyaki Zen with Pineapple (its vegan!), with a side if their vegetarian Kamikaze fries. Not always a fan of teriyaki, or pineapple in my food, I wasn't sure what to expect. The sandwich, served between perfectly cooked rice cakes, was amazing! The rice keeps the Asian feel going, with a perfectly crisp crust. The patty is well seasoned, and the sweetness of the teriyaki and pineapple contrast the spice perfectly.

The traditional Kamikaze fries come topped with beef, but they also have a vegetarian version, which I had to get! The cashier asked whether the kimchi sauce would still be okay since it includes shellfish, its amazing that they are so sensitive to the fact that some people don't eat any meat or seafood!

The rest of the gang got the BBQ Beef KoJa which was also a huge hit! That plus the fries is a pretty large meal though, so make sure you are hungry enough. We also got the Mochimisu (who can resist that name!?) - a tiramisu that uses Japanese mochi in the middle instead of the traditional lady fingers. The result is a definite triumph -- the tiramisu is every bit as decadent as should be, and the mochi adds just the perfect amount of chewiness to it.

All in all, a very successful fusion in my opinion. Don't take my word for it, go judge for yourself!
