Korean Bowls, Bulgogi & Kimchi Fries
Marinated bulgogi and spicy pork over rice with kimchi and pickled vegetables, bibimbap bowls, kimchi fries loaded with cheese and short rib, and Korean corn dogs. Koreatown is the largest in the country and its food travels well to a truck.
Thai Street Food
Pad thai and pad see ew off the wok, basil chicken, green and panang curry over jasmine rice, papaya salad and Thai tea. LA has the biggest Thai community outside Thailand and the only official Thai Town in the United States.
Vietnamese Banh Mi & Bowls

Skewers grilled over binchotan, teriyaki and katsu rice bowls, ramen cups for a cooler evening, and onigiri and gyoza as handhelds. Little Tokyo and Sawtelle shaped a Japanese street-food scene that fits a truck window.
Filipino Lumpia, Adobo & Sisig
Crispy lumpia by the dozen, chicken or pork adobo over garlic rice, sizzling sisig, pancit and longanisa, with ube desserts to finish. LA's Filipino community is the largest in the country and its food is made for a party.

Why Event Planners Choose Food Trucks
The catering choice that delivers on taste and experience
Cooked by the Communities That Own These Dishes
LA's Asian food trucks come out of Koreatown, Thai Town, Little Saigon, Historic Filipinotown and the San Gabriel Valley. Family recipes and wok-fired cooking in the window, not a steam-table version.
Bowls Make Dietary Needs Easy
Rice and noodle bowls take a tofu or vegetable protein as easily as beef, and most sauces have a gluten-free version, so a mixed office crowd orders from one menu without a separate vegan line.
Two-County Coverage
Trucks across Los Angeles County and north Orange County carry their county's mobile food permit, and LA County trucks display a Public Health letter grade. Catered events sit on private property, with COI and gate paperwork handled by the truck.
Book It Yourself in Minutes
Browse verified Asian food trucks, pick one, place the order, and pay once the truck accepts. Trucks arrive self-contained with their own woks, power and refrigeration.
Perfect for Any Los Angeles Occasion
From studio lots to backyard celebrations
Corporate Events & Employee Appreciation
Bowls are built for an office lunch: fast, filling and easy to eat at a desk or in a courtyard. From a Playa Vista tech campus to an Anaheim business park, Asian food trucks are the lunch employees vote for.
Weddings & Receptions
Lumpia and yakitori during cocktail hour, a banh mi or bulgogi station at a casual reception, or a late-night ramen and dumpling truck. LA couples use Asian trucks to put family food at the center of a downtown loft or Pasadena garden wedding.
Birthday Parties & Private Celebrations
Graduation parties, milestone birthdays and family reunions across the San Gabriel Valley, the Valley, the South Bay and north Orange County. A truck feeds a crowd that arrives in waves.
Community Events & Festivals
Night markets, temple and church festivals, school carnivals and apartment community nights across Los Angeles County and north Orange County. Asian trucks pair naturally with a boba or dessert truck.
College & University Events
Cultural club events, orientation and finals-week breaks at UCLA, USC, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Northridge, Cal State Fullerton and LMU. Bowls and handhelds suit a student line.
Group Outings & Team Events
Sports leagues, production wrap parties, church groups and volunteer days bring Asian food trucks to the end-of-day gathering. Handhelds like lumpia and banh mi travel well.

Best Times to Book in Los Angeles
Plan around the SoCal calendar for the best selection
Spring (March-May)
Prime outdoor weather and the start of campus and corporate event season. Graduation Saturdays in late May and June go first, so book those early; Nurses Week in May fills hospital campus dates.
Summer (June-August)
Company picnics, summer Fridays and night-market-style community events compete for weekend trucks. Weekday corporate lunches stay flexible, often week-of. Cold noodle and rice bowls suit the heat.
Late Summer & Fall (September-November)
LA's hottest weeks run August into October with Santa Ana wind days, so plan shade and an earlier window. By late October, ramen and curry come into their own for evening events.
Winter (December-February)
Mild winters keep trucks working outdoors year-round, and Lunar New Year events fill late January and February. December holiday parties go first; January weekdays have the best availability.
Los Angeles Catering Experts
Los Angeles Asian food trucks work a region where Los Angeles County Public Health permits and letter-grades mobile food facilities while an event in north Orange County falls under that county's own permit program. Catered events sit on private property, and studio lots and campuses typically ask for a certificate of insurance and a scheduled gate or lot window, which the truck handles once you book.
Whether you're hosting at a Century City tower, a Pasadena engineering campus, a Brea office park or an Alhambra backyard, LA's Asian food trucks bring professional service and the cooking of the city's largest communities.
