14ft Sushi Food Truck – Custom Mobile Sushi Kitchen Step Van
The 14ft Sushi Food Truck, built on a step van platform, is a fully customized mobile kitchen designed specifically for sushi preparation, cold food handling, and efficient customer service. Engineered by Biz On Wheels, this truck is built to meet the unique requirements of sushi operations, where cleanliness, temperature control, workflow efficiency, and presentation are critical to success.
This build is ideal for sushi entrepreneurs, catering businesses, food truck parks, festivals, and permanent street locations looking to operate a professional sushi concept in a compact yet highly functional mobile format.
Vehicle Size & Layout
The truck is built on a 14-foot step van, providing an excellent balance between interior workspace and maneuverability. The step van platform offers a boxy, efficient interior layout that maximizes usable space while remaining easy to drive and park in urban environments and event locations.
A large 84” x 36” serving window with an awning door is installed on the service side of the truck, allowing for fast, efficient customer interaction and order fulfillment. The size of the serving window supports smooth service during peak hours and provides clear visibility for menu displays and branding.
Entry & Accessibility
The truck features a 30” x 72” entry door with a screen, allowing for easy staff access and proper ventilation while keeping insects out during service. This setup supports long service hours while maintaining a clean and controlled interior environment.
Power & Fuel Systems
The truck is equipped with a quiet 9KW generator, professionally installed on the front of the vehicle. This generator provides reliable power for refrigeration, lighting, ventilation, air conditioning, and all electrical equipment without relying on external hookups.
An inverter system is also included, allowing certain equipment to operate while the truck is in transit or when silent operation is preferred. This flexibility is ideal for staging, prep, and moving between service locations.
Fuel for cooking and heating equipment is supplied by a 20 lb under-mount LP propane tank, securely mounted for safety and compliance. The under-mount placement keeps the tank out of the workspace while maintaining easy access for service and inspection.
Interior Construction & Finishes
The interior of the sushi truck is finished with all-white aluminum walls, creating a bright, professional, and hygienic workspace. Aluminum surfaces are ideal for sushi operations, as they are non-porous, easy to sanitize, and resistant to moisture.
The flooring consists of black diamond rubber flooring, chosen for its durability, slip resistance, and comfort during long service hours. This flooring supports safety while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
Ventilation & Climate Control
A stainless steel hood system with an exhaust fan is installed to provide proper ventilation and air circulation. While sushi operations generate less heat than hot cooking concepts, proper ventilation is still essential for maintaining air quality and compliance.
To ensure staff comfort and food safety, the truck includes a 15,000 BTU rooftop air conditioning unit, keeping the interior cool and stable during warm weather and busy service periods. Consistent climate control is especially important for sushi preparation and cold food handling.
Sanitation & Health Compliance
The truck is fully equipped to meet health department requirements with:
-
Three-compartment sinks for washing, rinsing, and sanitizing
-
A separate hand-washing sink
-
An on-demand water heater for consistent hot water supply
This setup supports proper hygiene practices and inspection compliance across most jurisdictions.
Equipment & Food Safety
All installed equipment is commercial-grade stainless steel and NSF, ETL, and UL certified, ensuring durability, safety, and reliability. Stainless steel surfaces and equipment are ideal for sushi preparation, allowing for proper sanitation and temperature control.
The interior layout is designed to support efficient workflow, keeping prep areas, sinks, refrigeration, and service zones logically organized to reduce cross-contamination and improve speed of service.
Exterior Branding & Visual Impact
The exterior of the truck is finished with a full-body, high-resolution graphic wrap, giving the sushi food truck a polished, professional appearance. The wrap turns the truck into a mobile advertisement, helping attract customers and establish strong brand recognition at every location.
High-quality wrap materials are used to ensure vibrant colors, sharp graphics, and long-term durability under daily use and outdoor exposure.
