We Sushi, co-founded by Sofian Halim and Thomas Wu and based in Santa Clara, delivers sushi with fresh fish purchased from local fish markets every morning.
The food truck, identified by its bright red paint job, offers an assortment of rolls, rice dishes and sushi burritos, which combine an assortment of fish and vegetables, wrapped in seaweed and rice with a special sauce. One of the trucks most popular items is the Sekiwake, a unique spin on the Spicy Tuna Roll with salmon and hamachi.
Halim and Wu have worked extensively at restaurants like Ozumo and Yoshi in San Francisco. They wanted to collaborate on their dreams for the best sushi and Japanese cuisine available so they decided to open the first mobile sushi truck.

Wu is the head chef in charge of the sushi station. His daily routine ranges from picking up fish in the morning and breaking it up, preparing ingredients and managing the work flow.

He enjoys creating new dishes which usually end up on the daily special menu, and he loves to spend time working on presentation.
Background: The idea for a sushi food truck was first conceived in July 2011. Halim and Wu were working at a Japanese restaurant in Foster City when they thought of the idea. They searched all over the Bay Area for an ideal location but could not find one. After an unsuccessful search for a permanent location they decided to try out a mobile truck instead.
