Pick it. Build it. Cook it.

Minden's food trailer where every customer becomes the chef. Grab your ramen and toppings at the window, then step into the back and cook your bowl yourself on a NeoCucina cooker.

How it works

  1. Pick your ramen

    20 flavors. Find yours on the board by number, from mild Sapporo Ichiban to Geki Chili.

  2. Load it up

    Add toppings at the window, from cilantro and lime to pork belly.

  3. Step inside and cook it

    Head into the back of the trailer, walk up to an open NeoCucina station, and watch your bowl come together. Up to 6 people cook at once.

Build your bowl

This isn't online ordering. Plan your bowl here, then find what works best for you. The line moves faster when you know what you want.

Your own NeoCucina station

The back of the trailer is set up with NeoCucina cookers. You bring the bowl, the machine handles the timing, and you watch it cook. Up to 6 people cook at once.

Book us for your event

Birthdays, company parties, school events. We bring the trailer and the ramen wall, and your guests cook their own bowls. That's the experience.

What a busy event looks like.

Before you ask

$15 per guest, 50 guest minimum. Each guest picks a ramen with one protein (egg, sausage or pork belly) and two toppings, then cooks it themselves. Kids 13 and under and extra toppings are priced when you book.

How it flows. Up to 6 guests cook at once, so it works best when people come through over the course of your event instead of all at once. We arrive 30 minutes before your serve time to set up.

Where we go. We're based in Minden. Events outside Minden, Gardnerville and South Lake Tahoe have a travel fee based on distance.

Booking. A signed agreement and a 50% deposit hold your date. Final head count and full payment are due 30 days before the event. Cancel at least 7 days out to be eligible for a deposit refund.

What you provide. A clean, level spot for the trailer, any permits your venue or town requires, and tables and chairs if you want a dining area. Outside food and drinks need to stay separate from ours.

We take cash, check and card. A card processing fee may apply.

Sending this doesn't book your date. We'll reply with the agreement and a deposit invoice. Please don't include card details here.

Catering request sent.

We'll reply with the agreement and next steps.
