Fantastic! Second time eating here, my kiddo and I (and non-GF husband) all LOVED it. The menu is simple and the couple who runs it is knowledgable on safety practices for Celiac. I highly recommend the pork bowl and will definitely be back whenever I’m in the area!

Wow what a nice surprise! I tried both the Chicken Plate & Pork Plate, with the Coleslaw as a substitute for the macaroni. Both were very good. The pork is pulled pork teriyaki which was tender and moist. I thought they were reasonably priced. I will eat there again while in Rockaway! When On highway 101 in Rockaway look for the red caboose train car and their food truck is just south and west of the parking lot in the center of town.

Great teriyaki bowl with grilled chicken! Choice of regular or spicy sauce.

Cute little food truck near the beach. They have outdoor seating and I ordered two of their chicken and rice bowls. They use a gluten free marinade for all of their chicken standard but if you want gluten free sauce on top you will need to specify. You can also get a burger wrapped in lettuce too.

OH MY LORD! We had a burger and a rice bowl, well 2 burgers and 2 rice bowls. The GF teriyaki was amazing and their pulled pork and chicken was TO DIE FOR!!! Must visit!!

This is a little Hawaiian food cart parked right by the beach which serves gluten free teriyaki sauce on all of its meats.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
