What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' "Food TruckAPalooza" (aired 2015-02-22), Guy Fieri tried the KoJa, a Korean-Japanese fusion sandwich, at the KoJa Kitchen food truck in San Francisco, biting into kiwi-marinated short ribs pressed between two fried rice patties, according to Food Network. KoJa Kitchen began serving from the truck in 2011 before expanding into a brick-and-mortar restaurant. According to Yelp, a listing for KoJa Kitchen's 6th Avenue location, updated September 2026, shows the restaurant closed Mondays and open 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, with customer reviews continuing through September 2026. A separate KoJa Kitchen location on Market Street has since closed, per a different Yelp listing marked permanently closed, while a San Jose location is likewise listed as closed on Yelp.
