Meet our Onigiri Truck, now bringing Rose’s bold flavors to an event near you.
What makes any celebration even better? Good food. While we love serving the Durham area as a lunch, dinner, and dessert spot from our restaurant in the Brightleaf district, we wanted to explore ways to reach beyond brick & mortar.
With the Rose’s Onigiri Truck ready to roll, we now have another way to share quality Asian inspired foods with the greater Triangle. We took our same ingredient-first mentality and applied it to one of our favorite things in the world: ONIGIRI!
Fresh milled Japanese rice, local fish like tuna or crab meat, and fresh local veggies like sweet summer peppers and savory Thai squash make our fillings inventive and delicious. All our onigiri are prepared at our restaurant and then packed in the truck so no cooking is done on site.

A: There is no fee to book, but depending on circumstances we may ask for a minimum spend.
