YABAI NIKKEI:

a japanese-american farm-to-table food cart in Eugene, Oregon.

locally-sourced ingredients combined with inherited flavors and techniques to create a fun, seasonal menu inspired by our chef’s family heritage and the Japanese immigrant experience.

YABAI: a Japanese word originally meaning scary or bad - now a slang exclamation for cool, crazy, or delicious!

NIKKEI: a term used to describe the people, culture, and food of the Japanese diaspora
