What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' 'Servin' Up San Francisco' episode (aired 2013-09-09), Guy Fieri visited Koja Kitchen's food truck, sampling its Korean-Japanese fusion sandwiches built on hand-formed rice-cake patties filled with Korean barbecue beef, chicken, or a vegetarian option. Koja Kitchen began as a single food truck in 2013 and opened its first brick-and-mortar location, Koja Clement, in San Francisco in 2015. The brand has since grown into several San Francisco Bay Area storefronts. Yelp's listing for Koja Kitchen SF Spark, a Mission Bay location at 601 Mission Bay Boulevard North, was updated August 2026 and continues to show active customer reviews; a separate Koja Kitchen listing on Clement Street was updated September 2026 with more than 700 reviews.

The brand's own website, kojakitchensf.com, continues to promote its Korean-Japanese menu. Between the two actively updated 2026 Yelp listings and the operating company website, Koja Kitchen appears to still be doing business in San Francisco, though now primarily from fixed storefronts rather than the original roaming truck.
