Authentic, fresh, unique, and absolutely delicious!
We happened across this food truck while visiting Salt Spring. It exceeded any expectations and I highly recommend it!

Hidefumi is so nice and very skilled. His food is consistently amazing and I recommend it to anyone who would like to eat authentic Japanese cuisine on the island.
Best okonomiyaki I've had. We visit Kitchen Kodama every time we're on Salt Spring and have been doing so for 5+ years now. The food is consistently good. Not too saucy, which is usually my gripe with okonomiyakis. The addition of gyozas in the last few years was a nice touch.
The owner is often the only one managing the truck, so be mindful that he might take a break and close up for a bit after the standard lunch rush, if you show up at 2pm, for example.
