"Founder Vivien Bang draws inspiration from her childhood, the rice-and-seaweed snacks her mother would make before dinner. Now, Lei Musubi’s food truck can be seen around town, most recently in places like Fresh Farm Dupont, Union Market, 3 Stars Brewing, or at the Monroe Street farmers market in Brookland for the rest of the season. Musubi offerings are unique and expansive. Try a Gyeran Bap ‘subi made with miso butter shiitake and tamari cured confit egg yolk, the Crazy Mexi Elote ‘subi with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos sprinkled on top, and the OG made with caramelized spam and homemade furikake (and a vegan counterpart). Flavors change almost as often as the food truck’s locations." - Abi Newhouse
