Food Trucks
We’ll also be partnering with Okamoto Kitchen to have on-site food trucks at the event so you won’t have to go far to satisfy your hunger.
Okamoto Kitchen was founded in 2015 by Chizuru Okamoto Abraham and Gerald Abraham aka. L.A. Akira. The truck recently won L.A. Weekly’s Best of L.A. Readers’ Choice of Best Food Truck of 2016 and specializes in Japanese comfort food, such as Japanese style fried chicken, beef bowl, and Japanese curry. All the dishes were created by Chizuru, a first generation Japanese, she studied under celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa and has been cooking since childhood. Gerald has been an active player in the fighting game community since the early days of Street Fighter II(1991) and continues to support the community to this day. The rest of the staff is primarily made up of anime fans and gamers.
