Can Asian food trucks accommodate allergies?
Many Asian dishes contain common allergens like soy, peanuts, shellfish, and gluten. Most trucks can modify dishes or suggest alternatives. Always communicate specific allergies when booking so trucks can prepare safely.
How spicy is the food?
Spice levels vary widely. Thai and Korean dishes can be quite spicy, while Japanese and Vietnamese options tend to be milder. Most trucks offer adjustable spice levels—just confirm when booking.
Do hibachi trucks do the full show?
Trucks like Arayaki Hibachi bring theatrical cooking to your event, but space constraints mean a more compact show than restaurant teppanyaki. The sizzling proteins and skilled cooking still create great entertainment.
What Inland Empire areas do Asian food trucks serve?
Our Asian food truck network serves all of Riverside and San Bernardino counties—including Riverside, Corona, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Moreno Valley, Temecula, and beyond. The diverse Inland Empire community has strong demand for Asian cuisine at events throughout the region.
Can Asian food trucks serve indoors at Riverside venues?

What's the minimum order for Asian food truck catering?
Most Asian food trucks have minimums between $800 and $1,800, covering approximately 40-100 guests. Hibachi trucks with entertainment elements may have higher minimums. We'll find options that match your guest count and Riverside event budget.
Can Asian food trucks handle large corporate events?
Yes. For large events at corporate campuses in Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, or Riverside, we coordinate multiple Asian trucks for variety—perhaps hibachi paired with Thai or Korean options. This gives guests choices while managing service flow.
How far in advance should I book an Asian food truck in Riverside?
Book 3-4 weeks ahead for most Asian trucks, and 4-6 weeks for popular hibachi trucks, especially for weekend events. Lunar New Year and other cultural celebrations fill up quickly—book 6-8 weeks ahead for these peak periods.
