Where the short-lived Bobablastic truck once stood now features two different vendors. The newcomers are different in their food origins and styles, but what they have in common is that they\u2019re both there to serve lunch or dinner in pretty decent portions for around $10 each. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For starters, we now have the purple Oishi Hibachi vehicle. This truck features a variety of Japanese cuisine, such as a few Teriyaki plates, shrimp, and for the braver people, ghost pepper chicken. There are small sides available, but most of the plates come with fried rice and veggies along with a choice of meat and a few sauces. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a broke college student, I was hesitant to drop $10 on a lunch. However, a plate full of fresh food \u2014 I could hear it start to sizzle a few minutes after ordering, which I considered a good sign \u2014 seemed pretty fair for the price. I did think there could have been a little more chicken as the rice seemed to encompass most of the meal, but the food itself tasted fresh and was exactly what I was expecting for an order of teriyaki chicken. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next to Oishi Hibachi is the red Lonney\u2019s Lunch Wagon, which specializes in Hawaiian food. Like Oishi, the main dishes are chicken or pork served with rice, and a full serving is $9. The menu changes daily and is listed on a chalkboard on the front of the truck. Additionally, many of their items are often pictured on their Instagram account <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lonneyslunchwagon\/\">@lonneyslunchwagon<\/a>. Aside from their main dishes, also have a few options for sides of fries \u2014 but these are no ordinary fries. Rather, there are options such as roasted pork fries and fries with their signature hurricane sauce. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After hearing it hyped up by the cashier, I decided to try their Hurricane Katsu, a Japanese style fried chicken, with the above mentioned hurricane sauce. I have to say I am still haven\u2019t quite decided how I feel about it; it\u2019s certainly flavorful and not at all what I expected. The fried chicken was good by itself, and the sweetness of the hurricane sauce was an interesting addition. I get the sense it\u2019s the type of flavor that tends to be quite divisive; people will either love it or hate it, with very little in between. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though the two new trucks on the block have their own unique features, either one would be a good option for those looking for comfort food such as chicken or pork cooked in familiar and traditional ways, as well as for those feeling a little more adventurous. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oishi Express is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday through Thursday and Lonney\u2019s is open 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. (or until they sell out) Tuesday through Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact the author at <a href=\"mailto:howllifestyle@wou.edu\">howllifestyle@wou.edu<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo courtesy of Ashlynn Norton<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rebecca Meyers | Lifestyle editor Sometimes it seems like there\u2019s a revolving door of food trucks on Main Street.
