SLICE of LIFE

Slice of Life Brisket Truck is an absolute standout when it comes to quality street food and smoky, melt-in-your-mouth brisket. From the very first bite, you can tell the team behind this truck takes real pride in their craft. The brisket is perfectly smoked — tender, juicy, and rich in flavor, with just the right balance of seasoning and that beautiful smoky edge that true BBQ lovers crave. Each serving is generous, and the meat practically falls apart with every forkful. The sandwiches are incredible too — soft buns loaded with brisket, slaw, and tangy sauce that tie everything together perfectly. It’s clear a lot of passion goes into both the preparation and presentation. The staff are friendly, energetic, and always serve with a smile, even during busy hours. You can taste the dedication in every dish. Prices are fair for the quality, and the wait times are reasonable given how popular the truck is. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or stopping by for a hearty weekend meal, Slice of Life Brisket Truck never disappoints. It’s easily one of the best BBQ-style food trucks around — authentic, flavorful, and made with love.

The A5 Wagyu Brisket and Beef Short Rib is absolutely to die for. If you haven't experienced an A5 cut of brisket this is your chance, cause I don't know anywhere else that would do it. The included side salad and baked beans and nachos was a nice addition....be sure to dip the short rib into the included chimichurri!

I’m not sure how this place remained under my radar for so long, as I just recently heard about this place. It’s essentially a garage turned into an eatery, serving up some delicious American BBQ. The main attraction is the A5 Wagyu brisket, and it’s worth the trip alone. It’s some of the best brisket I’ve ever had, and I’m from the south in the US which serves amazing BBQ. The homemade sauces are also very good, allowing you to customize your taste. I definitely want to come back for the beef ribs, but they may run out if you don’t go early enough. The service was very friendly and the staff lovely.

The staff were nice and accommodating. However, for the price of over a hundred bucks, it’s not worth it. Just order the regular sets they have, that would be okay, but I still find it overpriced. They don’t grill there, I believe, because of the space. I saw them boil something in a ziploc/vacuumed plastic bag. Having a small space that can accommodate a few people is a good strategy, so there’s always a queue which would make passers-by assume ‘the food must be good’. (I’m sure they’d love a bigger space, but it’s actually a nice experience like hanging out in someone’s garage eating bbq). They have a system where their ‘special’ beef ribs are limited and they have pre-weighted them (grams=price), and if you and your friend want to have 200gm both, you can’t. You can only buy the available portion left. It’s an interesting marketing strategy. The sides didn’t taste good. Tasted like it’s from a can. Maybe I had high expectations because of the reviews here, and when I see a small local business, I always think it’s their passion and everything is well thought-out, curated and made with love. But this place just made me sad. Of course I don’t really know their story, and they could be really passionate about their food, but I hope it would show (or maybe it’s just a bad batch of meat today). I’d like to end on a good note. Their sauce options were good. Their bbq sauce was nice. I wonder if they’re selling bottles of it. I’d buy a couple ☺️

I was in Shibuya on a Monday afternoon doing some shopping and had Slice of Life was on my Google Maps bookmarks and I’ve always wanted to try it (and Los Tacos Hermanos). By the time I had arrived (2pm) all the giant beef ribs and brisket were gone. Maybe next time LOL. But the staff was very polite and offered a few suggestions. The bbq arrived within a few minutes and it was delicious. Nice, tender, and the coffee bbq sauce they had on the table was a great addition. They have a few outdoor tables as well. I enjoyed my meal at Slice of Life and look forward to trying their other types of bbq next time.

Delicious brisket. Super tender and tasty. The quality of the meat was better than most I had in Texas. Portions were small for the cost but not many choices in Japan for this kind of stuff. Will go back though.

been coming here every year for our japan trip and for the past 3 years, i have loved this place more and more! great food, like DELICIOUS, and good vibes! they deff know their BBQ 👏🏽

I'm from NC and my family owns a BBQ sauce. I'm a stickler when it comes to BBQ. THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST BBQ I'VE EVER HAD!! I had to go back and get a second plate. I tried the brisket and pulled pork. I went back for the beef rib. The brisket was so juicy and tender. The pulled pork was delicious and that's coming from someone from NC. The beef rib killed me. I can die happy now
