"Started by the Wangs after a promised job fell through following their 2014 move from Brooklyn, this 'untraditional Japanese' food truck was almost an instant hit in the Lowcountry. Reflecting on the concept and reception, Wang later told Eater, “Our food was a little strange — there was nothing like it around here, but we just had to find our people to love us for who we are.”" - Erin Perkins
"An early Wang project that refreshed a familiar concept by sourcing Lowcountry seafood for Japanese-style rice bowls at a time when many local sushi spots relied on imports, emphasizing regional ingredients in a typically import-driven format." - Eater Staff
"For years I followed their cult-favorite food truck Short Grain, which built them plenty of fans who are already eager for Shuai and Corrie to begin regular service at a permanent location." - Erin Perkins
"I know Short Grain as the former food truck owned by Shuai and Corrie Wang, known for rice bowls like the “O.G.” chirashi, and its lunch menu will be the model for Jackrabbit Filly's eventual daytime service." - Erin Perkins
"A former food truck run by co-owners Shuai and Corrie Wang that has been staging pop-ups—its recent ramen event attracted long lines at a local brewery, signaling strong community interest ahead of the owners' move to a permanent location. The truck's lunch offerings include rice bowls like the “O.G.” chirashi, a format the team plans to carry into the new restaurant's lunch service." - Erin Perkins
