After their tweets exclaimed things like "we have two windows, no long lines" and "come by, you won't be disappointed", there was one window, a pretty long line and I was in fact disappointed. I waited on that long line for a shrimp bowl, and when I ordered it, they were out of shrimp. I understand it happens, but please indicate that somewhere so we can see it and not waste time. Now that I've already devoted 15 minutes to this truck, I had to get something. I got the tofu bowl with fried rice and wasabi mayo, and after numerous attempts to figure out who ordered what, between me and a few other people behind me, I finally made it back to the office to try it out. It kind of was a mushy, salty mess. The rice was blah, like you mentioned, but I do wish there was a little more of it. Maybe I should have gotten less veggies, more rice. The tofu was soft and a little watery. It wasn't mind blowing, but that's fine, and I got a little extra for saying a specific word mentioned on twitter. The vegetables were fine, but there was a little too much of it, and there were pieces that my plastic fork could not penetrate. Halfway through it, I was just turned off and finished whatever rice was left. I don't think I'll be going back to try anything else. Thanks for your review, and I hope others have better luck with this truck. I wish I could say I had the same good experience.
