Seattle's office workers, foodistas, and drunks all love this roving Korean-Hawaiian taco truck. The kalbi (beef shortrib) and pork tacos?soft corn tortillas loaded up with tender grilled meat soaked in classic Korean marinades, frilly cabbage-carrot-sesame-cilantro slaw, and a smear of sriracha mayonnaise?may be the best street-food treat to hit Seattle since the taco buses rolled into town, dispensing carnitas and salsa roja. Not far behind the tacos is the Aloha slider, a tiny sweet-roll bun with smoky, oven-roasted kalua pork and the bright crunch of the slaw. And no bar food soaks up the last two beers quite like Marination's kimchi fried rice with a sunny-side-up egg on top.

  • 2010 | Best Fusion Tacos

    "Best" and "fusion" are two words not often found in the same sentence. At least not in the sentences I write. In almost every case, fusion is what happens when chefs or owners don't really know what they want to cook, so they end up cooking... More >

  • 2009 | Best Spam Conversion Mechanism

    There seems to be no more reliable business plan in Seattle these days than selling food off a truck—especially if you're giving something down-home a little upscale twist. And the Spam items at Marination Mobile already have homesick Hawaiian... More >

  • Why There Won't Be Any Food Trucks at Bumbershoot

    By Hanna Raskin | Tue, August 23, 2011

    ​Food trucks seem like a natural fit for Bumbershoot, where scads of music fans will seek well-made finger food. But festival organizers haven't yet figured out how to lure mobile carts to the e More >

Tacos...oooh
Each Taco Is Made With Two Warm 4″ Corn Tortillas, Stuffed With Your Choice Of Sweet And Savory Kalbi, Luscious Pork, Miso Ginger Chicken, Or Sexy Tofu (that’s Right, We Said Sexy Tofu) And Topped With Our Nunya Sauce And A Tangy, Crunchy Signature Slaw.
 
Miso Ginger Chicken
you don’t need an explanation of this brilliant marriage of simplicity, right? it’s miso ginger chicken. it’s love and soul and flavor. it’s ginger and miso and chicken. ‘til death do they part.
 
Kalbi
tender short ribs marinated in kamala’s version of the iconic korean recipe. soy-based marinade all hugged up with garlic, and a mistress of citrus to satisfy your need for salty-sweet variety love. kalbi tofu is at the ready for the saucy herbivores among us. all of the pleasure with none of the cow.
 
Spicy Pork
a progressive version of classic korean bulgogi. rich red pepper smackdown heats up the belly but leaves your mouth in tact. sliced super thin for flavor galore.
Sliders
 
Sliders
warm and soft, stuffed with our signature slaw and your choice of spicy, juicy, shredded kalua pork, or spam* so good you’ll want more for your inbox. nunya sauce inside for good measure. *you wouldn’t know it was spam if we didn’t tell you, and when you’re done you’ll understand why it’s the unofficial national food of hawaii.
Kimchi Rice Bowl
 
Kimchi Rice Bowl
you like chopsticks? coolio. served with sunny side up fried egg. add any one of our meats or tofu and tell your friends to call you back in a bit.
Kimchi Quesadilla
 
Kimchi Quesadilla
a really good thing with another really good thing plus cilantro and kalua pork. believe.
Spam Musabi
 
Spam Musabi
the perennial staple of surfers and late-nighters worldwide. perfectly grilled slice of spam makin’ love to a paddycake of rice wrapped in a seaweed blanket. think spam sushi. no soy sauce necessary. just a napkin, and possibly a support group. *note! spam musubi is a frequent guest star but is not, repeat is not, on the all-the-time menu. nobody would eat anything else. they’re that good.
