Fatboy Fried Rice

TL:DR Food okay BUT expensive, service needs tons of improvementI've been here twice. And both times not a great first impression and now second. The first time I went ordered, maybe one other car in the parking lot. I waited over an hour. They said there's a bunch of people who ordered before me and online orders (which I didn't know was an option). Ordered bulgogi fried rice and chicken fried rice. I enjoyed bulgogi, but the chicken was dry. Bulgogi tasted well, not your typical bulgogi but well enough. They had a version of yum/shrimp sauce and this sweet gochujang. It was the sauce that made it. Meat portion was okay. Not a lot. It was more rice than protein but I guess it comes with the name I guess.Fast forward. After learning they have online order. Just know that if you order online. Grubhub charges more than the would in person. An extra $2 per item. Ie. I ordered bulgogi with extra meat. That was an additional $4. On top of the $16 they already charge and $8 for extra meat. I placed the order online, ran an errand and went to pick up food. It was over an hour by the time I got there. There was one customer parking, another employee outside sitting by his Toyota truck, another employee standing outside the food truck smoking(?). So it didn't seem busy. I gave my name. He couldn't find it (with an attitude, mind you). Then finally found and said our internet/system was down and we're trying to get caught up with orders and we're behind. That's it's 'going to be a little'. I asked "what's a little?" He said another 15-30 minutes. Rather than saying we'll move you up, or offer to expedite or offer anything. He did nothing. The only thing he 'offered'..... 'well we can just give you a refund?'I took the money and left. So that's it for me. I gave a valiant effort. So yes. The food is decent. But the service, what you read/heard is true. Horrid. Sorry. I'll just spend my hard earned money elsewhere for their price and service.

Today, this blue food truck is parked on Beach Blvd just east of Saint John's Bluff and west of 295. We stopped on a Sunday afternoon and got 3 fried rice options and were given a buzzer to wait in our car until the food is ready. The two guys running the truck were welcoming and happy to see us. We must have come at a good time as a line of 3-4 other people formed behind us within a couple minutes. My kids loved the sour green apple lemonade which has an electric bright color and pucker that is unlike any other drink I've ever had. Hubs got the chicken teriyaki and I got the cheese burger fried rice which both came with a large portion in a styrofoam container - both of us had enough for 2-3 meals, easily! I think the base rice was the same for both of our options, and it was seasoned well and had a great texture, though I could have used a little more crispy edges on mine tbh. The value for the portion size is excellent, though I wish the base rice was not the same for all the dishes.

Equivalent to the Asian food you can get at any food court located inside of a mall. Put another way, if you think Sbarro is good Italian food, you'll also likely think this is good Asian food. "Food court food on wheels"...

Depending on who you ask in my house, you will get a different review. My kids love the fried rice from here and give it a 5+. Me, I think it's good but I'm not a fan of over-sauced anything. We tried the bulgogi and sisig. For the bulgogi, I loved the cut of meat, it was tender and the rice was well-cooked and seasoned. I didn't catch much of the classic bulgogi flavor because all the sauces were too overpowering for me. It actually reminded me of steak hibachi when the shrimp sauce spills inside of the to-go container. For the sisig, the traditional flavors did shine through, and I found that this one wasn't as saucy as the bulgogi. Loved the hint of lemon. I believe adding a fried egg on top is an option,--so will def be doing that next time since that's how we did it at home. Overall, we did enjoy the flavors. I will just be sure to ask for the sauce on the side.

The fried rice is super rich; we only ate 1/4 of the box and were full! We ordered the bulgogi fried rice and regular fried rice. Both were kind of one note without any standout spices. The flavor was like heavier version of hibachi fried rice loaded up with shrimp sauce. I would recommend ordering one of the meat options as the plain fried rice left something to be desired. We came on a busy Sunday afternoon and were quoted a 35 min wait, but ended up only waiting 30 min. They give you pager so you can wait in your car.All in all, I could see myself stopping by for a late night snack, but not my first choice for a meal.

Fatboy Fried Rice is outstanding. This rice is unmatched to me. I wish this food truck was closer to me, but it's worth the drive. It really deserves a brick a mortar because it really is tasty. The last time I got to try this place, it was a small wait. I sat in my car while I wait red. It was well worth the wait because the food was hot and fresh. Just thinking about this food truck is making me want to go for a visit this weekend. Fantastic!

I wanted to love it. Called first to make sure they were open but no one answered the phone. Decided to try my luck and drive to the location showing on Yelp. Luckily they were there, 2 people waited in front of me in line. I was advised of a 30 minute wait which was fine with me. I ordered the short rib rice with a teriyaki chicken add on. I paid, was handed a buzzer and went to my car to wait. After 20 mins ago, my buzzer went off and I headed to the window to pick up my order. The guy at the window was nice and apologized for the wait. My drive home is about 7 minutes. Unfortunately my food was warm, not at all hot and I had to microwave it to reheat. I will never not be confused by receiving food that's not piping hot after being asked to wait...Anyways, the plate was full and looked yummy but the rice was just so salty it overpowered everything. And that's a lot coming from me because I love food that's very seasoned. Unfortunately, it was too salty. I shoveled down a few bites to kill my hunger pains and put the rest away.

Basically, small, simple, delicious!The Chicken Teriyaki was good and plentiful. Definitely worth the cost.

I came here for the sisig but they were sold out. We ended up ordering the bulgogi fried rice and the short rib fried rice. The bulgogi was too heavily sauced, I couldn't really taste the meat as much as I'd like over the sweet sauces. The short rib fried rice was too salty. I'd come back to try the sisig but if that's a no as well I don't think I'd return. Service was good, and food came out in 10-15 minutes and looks as advertised. Prices are about what I'd expect. Wish I liked it more.

If you love fried rice, do yourself a favor & check out Fatboy Fried Rice. They have a great variety of protein options and add-ons. There is usually a wait but they give you a pager so you can sit in your car until your order is ready. The portions are big, so most people will probably get more than one meal out of an order.
