About Dear Neighbor Handrolls

Dear Neighbor Handrolls is a food truck, partnered with East Hollywood’s Cafe Nido and Studio City’s Licorice Pizza, selling handrolls designed to be eaten without any rush. The wooden spoon method we utilize separates the rice from the nori, ensuring the rolls don't get soggy during travel. Founded by young L.A. creatives, Dear Neighbor aims to support the Los Angeles community, while drawing culinary inspiration from traditional Japanese handrolls. We offer discounts to locals within two miles of the truck location, union filmmakers, paramedics, public school teachers, and firefighters! We also offer discounted catering for artist events and charity events. We are committed to Dear Neighbor supporting the Los Angeles neighborhood.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Los Angeles, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Per-serving pricing includes Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Dear Neighbor Handrolls?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in Los Angeles book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Dear Neighbor Handrolls cater?
Dear Neighbor Handrolls is new to Food Truck Club, so there are no platform bookings to show yet. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Los Angeles are all bookable from this page.
Where does Dear Neighbor Handrolls serve?
Dear Neighbor Handrolls is based in Los Angeles, CA and takes bookings across Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is, so include the full event address in your request and the truck will let you know if one applies. For a venue outside this area, the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Dear Neighbor Handrolls lists gluten-free options and vegetarian options on its profile. Include a count for each in your booking request so the truck preps enough, and flag any allergies at the same time.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Dear Neighbor Handrolls will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
